Unless Reuters changed their own title, the submitter broke the site guidelines by editorializing (submitted title was "Uber can force drivers into arbitration: U.S. appeals court".) Please don't do that. Accounts that do it eventually lose submission privileges on HN. From the guidelines: Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

One reason we have this rule is that when people break it—especially when they break it to editorialize—the comments tend to fill up with distracting arguments about the title.

I write plenty of shell scripts where appropriate, but my main point was really that you don't need to couple your interactive environment to your scripting environment. Sure, write your shell scripts in bash. That doesn't mean you need to use that as your regular shell, though.
I also think processed products usually require less effort to store and transport than some fresh ingredients.

Incredible. I pulled up my neighborhood, a vibrant lovely neighborhood in Brooklyn. I moved here when I arrived in NYC four years ago.

The first thing I notice is all the trees are not there in the 1980s. Amazing how much more bleak things are without the big leafy trees. The building where I live now is boarded up and much shorter (three stories were added c.2003 for housing and the retail levels were renovated). The avenue where I do most of my shopping, filled with restaurants and cafes and pocket gyms and salons and bars and real estate offices and corner stores, is just desolate. There is a church and a butcher and a salon but there are also lots of empty storefronts and whole vacant multi-story buildings with windows boarded up or just missing.

What's interesting is most of the structures have not changed. They are lovely old buildings now, as they were in the 1980s. But the context could not be more different. Today they are full — the buildings full of tenants and businesses, the streets full of shoppers and locals, bikes and buses and cars. The neighborhood in the pictures looks so much more stark and empty.
New York City also uses citywide school choice for high school. School choice really doesn't scale up. You end up getting a yellow-pages sized book of schools (and each page is a single school!), you trek across the city to view schools, there are entire forums and such dedicated to navigating the process. It's like the college application process in miniature.

We also generally do not use busing, but New York City is so large and congested that you start asking a lot of kids. I went to a school that was 90 minutes away by public transit on a good day, so I'd wake up at 5am to make an 8am start time.
I’ve had others use their browser-based encryption form to send me sensitive data before — that’s pretty handy.

Absolutely. Too many people underestimate a polite but resolved refusal to sign (without modification) any contract (including recipts!) whose terms you do not agree to. Not all, but many orgs will oblige if you don't seek to abuse it.

The confusion will go away if you learn how things work under the hood(you should know what an event loop is, learn about Qt widgets parenting, signals and slots, layouts),also in practice you use the GUI tools to create and modify GUIs though you need to learn how to use them properly and not create absolute positioned layouts.

Yeah, I dunno about that. I'm in the middle of planning a wedding at a nice theater [1], catered, open bar, with a band, for 150 people, and even if we run 50% over our current expected costs we'll be under $30K. New England if that matters.

You can't. Also keep in mind that Python's thread-local storage only works with the threading module threads, not Python threads created elsewhere (e.g. by the "outer" C++ application itself or by a QThread wrapper). It's really quite poorly implemented there IMHO.
Yes, but only somewhat. A speedbooster is not optically perfect and may degrade image quality by introducing aberrations.
Hi, co-creator of volkswagen, is-ci, and ci-info here. I extracted is-ci into its own module during the time I wrote volkswagen. It then turned out a lot of people wanted a module like that for actual useful things. But they wanted more info than simply "is this a CI server or not" (which was all that volkswagen cared about). So I made ci-info and moved the logic into that module and then made is-ci inherit from that, so to not have to duplicate the logic
I agree with a lot of your points.

Personally, I dislike the nightlife. The entertainment districts are all about dive or patio bars with a band playing. Not many proper hip hop or edm spots.

There is not much diversity.

The main vibes are hippie austin slacker, tx country guy, college student, or tech bro. Which I do not like.

Genetic inheritance via epigenetic pathways is extremely rare and basically irrelevant. It explains essentially 0% of the evolved traits that you see in humans and other complex organisms.

And none of our important traits were acquired by conscious processes on the parts of our ancestors, unless you mean by that statement that our ancestors consciously endeavored to further their own interests and as a side effect of this, we evolved the way we did. But if that's what you meant, it's a really disingenuous way to describe basic natural selection.
Be a helluva undertaking, but I imagine there exists overhead photos of New York during the same period which could - with current tech - recreate a pretty effective 3D street view where the missing bits are extrapolated.

These aren't made up. States are feeling compelled to add laws to limit non competes now, when they historically haven't, due to things like sandwich shops having non compete clauses for their minimum wage employees. Massachusetts recently enacted regulations on non competes in response to those kinds of abuses
Is it worth it though? A married man may feel the need to provide for his family and make career choices that are detrimental to his family and himself in order to do so.
But that doesn't establish whether it's more "competent/conscientious/whatever" people being more likely to marry, vs the marriage itself causing higher market productivity.
Why a private meeting? Surely it's transparency Google needs to regain public trust?

Controlling supply is the important piece, not being in a union. Once you limit the supply and limit your competition, you don't need a "union". They make up the leadership of the organizations that setup funding for the residency positions, which control how many doctors can be trained every year, effectively controlling the supply of doctors. No one, other than doctors, is incentivized to keep this supply constrained, which I assume is due to lobbying by doctors.

Not really the entire history of human thought; the actual philosophers who thought differently were harshly persecuted, their books burned, or if they saw it coming did not even dare to publish their true thoughts...
Can you please point me towards a paper that explains this well established effect? I haven't came across any that explicitly states Unions are bad for consumers since workers tend to be consumers (high wage = higher disposable income) especially on a Macroeconomics scale. I have seen studies explaining how Unions hurt firm growth since it shifts profits to wages which reduces cash holdings (which reduces the conversion of cash to assets, and the finance cycle continues). But the Macroeconomic of the redistribution of wealth (wage vs profit) is still to be studied, especially in our sharing economy world.
This is a good thing, but frankly I would rather Mozilla fix their own stuff first, like that password manager that is synchronized across instances but unlocked by default... You have to remember to set a (new and local) master-password after each install. Not optimal.
I’m not sure if the data here supports the conclusions at all. It looks like the divorce rate for millennials is roughly constant, albeit much lower than for older adults. So if more millennials are getting married and boomers are beginning to die off that would explain this trend nicely.

Have you ever said something before similar to,"what if the child consents?"
Harrison, AR
Population ~13k

1) There are few restaurants open past ~8pm. That's the one thing I miss most about living in a bigger place. Pizza delivery places are open until 10pm or so, but after that you're pretty much limited to Taco Bell, McDonald's, or Casey's (a gas station, much like WaWa or Sheetz)

2) Lack of a tech community. There are a few people in "tech" around, but the vast majority work for a single company, and it's a pretty Microsoft-focused shop. I'm not aware of any tech meetups of significant size unless I want to drive to Fayetteville, AR (~2 hours) or Springfield, MO (~1 hour).

3) Travel. We have a small airport, but no commercial service. When I fly to LA, I have to go drive at least an hour to an airport. Branson, MO has a decent small airport, but only one or two airlines and I'm often not able to get the flights I want from there and end up driving further.

On the other hand, there's what's nice:

1) Land values are cheap. We bought a five-bedroom home on half an acre for ~$125k. I'm looking at rental properties now, and it's not unreasonable to think I could buy a nice (if small) home for $40k suitable for a rental. There are even a few duplexes around $80k and a handful of 4-plexes for under $150k.

2) People are helpful, but keep to themselves. No one is out in my neighborhood after dark, and most everyone is in bed by 10pm. At the same time, I can always count on my neighbors to lend me a chainsaw or tools if I need them, and if you end up on the side of the road you literally have to make a sign saying you're OK if you don't want someone stopping to check on you every five minutes.

3) It's safe. The crime statistics belie this somewhat; the actual crime rate is fairly high. In reality, most of the crime here is either drug-related, or property crime drive by the same. The crime that does occur happens mostly within that social group, so if you don't hang out with druggies you're pretty much golden.
Wouldnt the divorce rate go higher then? Since its out of convenience/benefits, once one finds a partner, they divorce and remarry.
The author seems pretty confused about the geography of the bay area, and comes to odd conclusions because of it. First of all:

> Google programmers living two to three to a bedroom in Bernal Heights, not even that close to BART.

Why would Google employees care about living close to BART? They take the Google shuttle to work, and Bernal has great highway access, making it a shorter commute than other parts of SF.

Besides that, the people I know who have tons of roommates in SF do it because they want the experience of living in SF (culture, nightlife, food, socializing). If they just wanted to make money and save as much as possible, they'd live on the peninsula or in the east bay and have a more comfortable, and also cheaper, housing situation.

Even for people working in SF (SOMA), commuting on BART from Oakland is often faster than many parts of SF, and almost certainly cheaper. If you choose to live in SF anyway, it's because you want to be there specifically.
Well, I don’t believe we need unions.

People can find new jobs, they just would prefer not to, but an employee’s preference and the business’ preference do not always match.
To avoid the threat, negotiate with your workers on fair compensation. It's not really rocket science.
You argue that the business (a collection of individuals) has the right to negotiate with an individual. Then argue that a union (a collection of individuals) should only have limited rights to negotiate with a business in return.

Do you see the contradiction in your belief?
It's just a way of minimising your footprint. If you google me, and can't find what services I use, it makes it that much harder to try and find a foothold into hacking something, or building up a profile.
He better have the chuptzpah to come out of the meeting telling the truth that Google results do not have an ideological bias and consider his civic duty complete after showing lawmakers evidence of such. We've seen what happens at Facebook when they try to make sure the range of opinions published is "neutral". I've seen people complain that the little 'i' symbol next to news stories on Facebook that details the viewpoint and credibility of the linked site is discriminatory.

There will always be a constituency for people who love to play victims to social media companies. That should not affect their decisions.
The GOP lawmakers aren't interested in public trust, but in gaining leverage - that would be my thought, at least.
Is "public trust" actually a problem for Google? In my experience, most people just don't care.

Question is correlation though. Is it likelier for people who are married (perhaps correlating with more responsible) to hold better positions? Or have higher pressure to make more money and thus act on that?

Also, in US and Canada, there are significant tax benefits to being married.
Few engineers at my start-up were using keybase to share credentials between them, as well as between company and/or personal laptops. A lot of information was exposed to the wild internet (machine names, developer names, connection between them,...) posing a clear security risk. My experience is that most engineers do not understand how to safely use keybase at that point.
People get set in their ways. We're not all web developers.
There’s top talent graduating all the time though, you don’t necessarily need to go abroad and drag people back.
I disagree. There’s a strange precedent for builtins overloading like ‘type’. The same could be done for ‘dict’. Do you want me to share a satisficing call signature?
I see nothing here that suggests the link is causative. It could very well be that the toll of being an addict compromises the immune system leading to conditions that most people never get.
I use it. I've been impressed with all the improvements they've made over the years. I've struggled to get other people to use it though, but I have had some success and when I've talked other people into signing up it has worked well.

> more important than the number crunching ability of your programming language

I work on a data visualization program written with PyQt. As an example, in a scatterplot with several hundred thousand rows, the bottleneck is not number crunching. Numpy could go up another order of magnitude. Probably two. The bottleneck is figuring out efficient ways to display all of the points, correctly, and make them pickable.
The existence of punishment changes the inputs to the system and, thus, changes the outputs of the system. The system in this case being the mind and it's output being behavior.

Its very interesting to see the city change so much through the year. Lived in NYC for so many years, they will never stop rebuilding it. You think skyscrapers on 7th Avenue will be there 70 years from now? Once a new stronger materials will be invented with technology of faster elevators, these sky scrapers will be rebuild from new, most likely reaching 3x of current heights. So if you happen to be alive in 2099, check 2018s.nyc to see how New York City looked "before" :)
not being able to afford things is not a "choice"
+1. The moral basis for much of our societal rules and behaviors is unsound if free will is incompatible with biology. We in the US do so many things based on Puritan moral views that are so very harmful and counterproductive to our goals, based on an incorrect understanding of how the world works.
The part that shipped was Electrolysis which splits the formerly giant-single-processed Firefox into a set of 1-9 processes which work as task pools for tabs. Locking one tab hard will lock only that tab, and any others sharing that Electrolysis worker I believe.

Google has this built right into the assistant now and detects music is playing well enough to suggest "What is this song?" as a query - and it has really really good accuracy in my experience, and I am impressed mostly by it being able to pick out the song in a somewhat noisy room (a bar for example)

What a silly article with a preposterous attempt to define “CEO.” IG would have had access to unlimited funding if they wanted. I’m sure they were under a lot of pressure from FB to sell when they did, but it was a clear blunder. And one of Zuck’s best moves as CEO. The train had already left the station at that point and IG could have been sold for $20 billion a year or two later.
Arbitration clauses are explicitly not in everyone's favor and that is the sort of incorrect information companies like to spread around. Frequently the company is the one picking the arbitrator, which I hope has obvious problems with them being unbiased.

Even in cases where the arbitrator is a "neutral" party that both sides have to agree to, the companies are the ones bringing in the lion's share of work to the arbitrators and they are not going to agree to an arbitrator who rules against them in any significant quantities
It's cheaper to live with someone and split bills than live alone and pay all of the bills by yourself. So yes, married people have more money in general.

This is correct. Yesterday I was downvoted for defending Alex Jones' right to free speech, and today I will be downvoted for defending Google from overzealous Republicans.

Oh I agree, absolutely not. I'm against Google and don't use their software. I just thought that the parent comment wasn't very accurate as it characterized Apple as selling apps and media and Google as doing neither of those things.
An employee can also quit and find a new job. It isn’t rocket science - an employee is not a slave.
All Microsoft has to do is let people white label their Bing product, look at DDG...that's Bing's engine. Most people don't know, or care. The results are good. That's actually how Google became so popular, Yahoo used Google. Bing just needs to keep integrating itself into the next big things. Unfortunately Google often will pay a handsome sum to make sure it keeps a foothold...I mean look at Siri. It went from Google to Bing to Google. No doubt there was a negotiation that caused that. Given Apple's focus on privacy, it would be a bit surprising if they don't switch again.
That is the direction it is going. You will soon be unable to conduct your life w/o losing your fundamental rights to contracts of adhesion with losing terms and being bound by the whims of an arbiter who's not subject to regard for the law.[1]
