In a free market without minimum salary, it would be difficult for people living alone and having kids (so they have to pay rent and for kindergarten or school), to compete with someone living with parents (and not paying any rent) or with immigrants living 8 people in a room.

>Reservations stand at about 400,000 I believe.

Based on? There's been no official release. If they stood at 400k, Musk would be shouting it from the rooftops.

Many reservations were expecting a $35k car (with a substantial rebate). Even Musk himself said the demand for $50k+ sedans is ~100k annually.

The fact that companies can simply continue what they have always been doing “but with pop ups” is evidence that the GDPR did not go far enough.

Also, still waiting for the first major company-wrecking GDPR fine everyone was losing their minds over... any day now. There are doubtless plenty of companies still in violation.
Paradite, I upvoted to give some balance. People might be quick to downvote in this case because they've encountered too many nationalist trolls from whichever country, not just China. Not saying that you are a nationalist troll! I imagine that if the topic were about, say, net neutrality or the Patriot Act in the US and I were to write, "Hey how about you guys cut it with the attacks on the US, OK?" I'd be (appropriately) downvoted. Is there anti-PRC bias at HN? I'm not sure and don't think it's easy to know. In any case the very great things the PRC government since Deng has done for the development of China, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and into a strong position, must be viewed along side everything else, including censorship and importantly now the crackdowns on Uyghurs, I imagine you'd agree. I can't imagine that most members of the HN community would wish it any other way when it came to their own countries. I understand the desire to defend China and the PRC state, especially when people appear to jump to the wrong conclusions and there is anti-Chinese sentiment all around, but that also doesn't mean that the PRC is blameless.
It's certainly true that allowing in more people would impose a cost on the current residents. But you can't stop people from moving towards economic opportunity without putting up something like a border wall around SF.

And also, how would you feel about rich people saying that they like having lots of money, and how are these poor people to demand that they give up money in taxes when that would degrade their quality of life? It's totally true that for rich people paying taxes will make them worse off. But that's to a lesser extent than the extent to which it will make poor people better off. So I don't think it's illegitimate for rich people to be forced by the electorate to pay taxes at a higher rate even if rich people don't want that. And I don't think it's illegitimate for California to force SF to build local housing for the people currently commuting 2 hours to jobs in the city even if that makes current residents a bit worse off.
I think the grandparent post does a good job describing the problem with it. It's a UX nightmare to the point where it doesn't even accomplish what it set out to accomplish.

The RPG may have been in another language, but it presumably still depicted human or humanoid characters, objects, enemies, etc.

Your sister knew far more about life (and consequently the game) than what a computer would know. Just having a basic concept of reality, that the world is made up of objects and agents, that some things can be interacted with, cause and effect, etc. is way beyond what a computer has (which is basically nothing).

To a computer playing a game, "randomly trying things" has only one meaning: random control inputs. As mentioned earlier, random control inputs will not get you very far in any open world game. A computer playing Zelda would be lucky to reach the bottom right corner of the map (by maximizing x and y positions) using only random inputs and reinforcement learning. Actually completing the game is so far beyond that it's ridiculous.

"Two major forces outside of Microsoft's control curtailed .NET's planned world dominance: (1) the rise of Javascript in the browser which negated .NET Silverlight, and also Java applets and Flash. (2) the rise of Apple iOS and Android."

I agree with those 2 forces:

1) the raise of javascript: Now is starting to develop an answer to this in Blazor (https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor)

2) iOS and Android: both are here to stay, so Xamarin is the answer. I have been using Xamarin for iOS and all though still lack of some maturity, in its actual form is very viable.

> What do you mean same can’t be said for macOS?

I wasn't so much taking a shot at Apple as I was trying to point out the stability of Windows. The reality though is that APIs on either system outlive the usefulness of most applications.

In a purely technical sense though you can't run a 2001 era Cocoa App on a 2018 Mac without recompilation. You can't run a System 7 era App on a 2018 App without at least minor API tweaks (Cocoa isn't 100% compatible with System 9's API). You can run a 1990s era Win32 App on a 2018 Windows 10 PC without recompilation.

I can't speak to React, but I definitely see this happening with Java. To the point where I've watched people make conscious decisions to the effect of, "Sure, I do think Kotlin is a superior language that will allow us to work better and faster, but everyone already knows Java, and we feel more comfortable sticking with the mainstream."

:shrug: I like to be a bit more flexible than that, but I suppose there is something to be said for consistency.

The amount of delusional Tech workers attacking minimum wage increases on HN is insane. People who have never stepped out of their sheltered lives at Stanford and Google and post inane shit like "They can just get another job if they don't like their current one." It's so out of touch it hurts my brain.
Well, with all respect, you got what you paid for. This is the difference in between bare bones dedicated server hosting and managed hosting of any kind.

At one of my previous workplaces, we had a park of around 3k servers, with 2k of them on Hetzner. At such scale, you can not physically escape from the fact that all kinds of weird stuff happens with hardware, like buggy raid cards, physically unrebootable servers, dead cores, faulty and fake memory, bitrot, throttling due to underpowered PSUs,etc.

My favourite find was a "xeon 2637v3" with 6 cores (2 extra cores for free! unlike the normal sku.)

And we always had argument about their service, availability, giving us three faulty raid cards in a row, sued them few times for a refund, but... the company still liked them sooo much.

I think you'd have to be willfully blind to see that the sexes have been increasingly turned against one another for political gain by various factions in recent times to the point of absurdity. I have known these "men vs. women" (both men and women!) people personally in my life and as I got to know them better, came to learn that they truly believed in their dangerous, ridiculous, absurdly reductive worldview at a very core level.

I went to a game development convention with one such person and we started the event off by watching a presentation given by a woman about how to get started with VR development in Unity. The presentation was informative and well-done. As we walked out of the conference hall afterwards, I asked my friend what she thought of the talk. Her first, immediate, and only comment: "it was practically all white dudes in there." As a white dude myself I had absolutely no idea how to answer this. I still don't.

What do you even say to that?

"Día de los muertos" sounds so weird to me, like we're talking about a particular group of dead people (say, the dead from a war) instead of the dead in general. I would say "día de muertos" and most Mexicans in Mexico agree. It's obviously a back-translation from the English which requires the article.

I also wonder when did the face-painting tradition start. The first time I saw it was in 2005 at a Halloween party. I thought it was awfully clever and recognised it as inspired by Posada's catrinas.

The popularity of Día de Muertos in Mexico is kind of strange. Most Mexicans did not observe most of the traditions that have now become popular. It was a very regional thing from Michoacán. Talking to other Mexicans, it seems that during the late 20th century, the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) started putting Día de Muertos and other regional Mexican traditions into the curriculum, which made knowledge of the holiday spread. It would be as if Mardi Gras became a national holiday of the US and became an icon of US identity worldwide.

And then we have the James Bond Day of the Dead parade from a movie that we thought was so cool that we decided to do it for real.

It's an odd thing to see traditions getting established during my lifetime.
Meta doesn't imply cycling, just that the best strategy may be a mixed strategy which involves randomly picking between different pure strategies.

Instead of cycling, the meta ought to converge to a Nash equilibrium.

With the right mixed strategy, an opponent choosing a pure strategy would be at a disadvantage.

Randomising over a huge choice of pure strategies may be infeasible of course and in the real world players have to train for particular strategies which is why we see meta shifts. (Plus of course in the real world the conditions (assumptions) change due to gameplay patches.

My hypotheses is that C# would never have become as popular as it became if Java hadn't had the long stall between 1.6 and 7[1]. That long, long pause provided a window, and under the stewardship of the vampires at Oracle there is not the kind of direction to push things forward that C# has had.

Basically you should make the same assumptions you would joining a project as a freelancer/contractor - if you make enough money and don't care about career development and job security and quite possibly difficult atmosphere then why not, a job is a job. But if you're joining with the assumption that you'll be able to develop your career, or that it will be a fun/friendly/familial environment, or that you're deferring making real money until you cash in your equity, it's extremely likely that you'll end up bitter and disappointed a few months/years later.

Interesting! My gripe is I haven't found a way to do a cloud backup of an iPhone w/o putting the data in iCloud, which I do not trust.

I'd prefer to make my own backup which I store/pull down manually... is that possible?

My assumption is that if a country is nosy enough to want access to a device, encryption is irrelevant since they'll just demand a PW, so ideally I'd like to wipe the device then pull a backup down later.

From the comment section of that very video, I quote:

> Freda Du: are you guys comparing one of the most expensive chinese cities with the average american (suburban/rural) rent? And comparing fine western dining (cuz apparently you think the $2 chinese meals will kill westerners..) with dollar menu? I lived in Shanghai, LA and NYC, let's make a major city to major city comparison here.. a single metro ride is $0.5 in shanghai vs. $2.75 in NY and $1.75 in LA (which goes nowhere); cellphone bill costs $10 in China and $40+ in the US; you can get food as cheap as $2 in a sit-down restaurant in China, but at least $10+tax&tips in America; have you guys just been living in China for too long and forgot how damn expensive america can be? the small Chinese cities can be dirt cheap too but you guys think it's too inconvenient for people who refuse to speak Chinese. so there you go.﻿

For your reference, I'm living in a small city in China, where ￥15 can supply my diet-mode food for a week, for better diet, that's ￥22 ($3.2 dollar) (Just to clarify, If however I don't want to diet, then that's ￥50~80 or $12 a week). That's even when I buy most of my foods from supermarket[0].

The key point is, you CAN live an expensive life in China if you want to, but you don't HAVE to.

> They all have BS.

I think this is the most profound thing I've learned in my career. But an even more important lesson is that you have to find a place where the B.S. is tolerable to you. For some people the politics of a bigco may be impossible to deal with, for others the "another month, another pivot" shiny objects syndrome of a small startup may be the issue.

Every place has B.S. That's why they call it "work" and not "fun". Find a place where the B.S. is tolerable (or, better yet, minimal).
I'm absolutely astonished at this definition of "punching down"!

What is it, then? Small family or individual?

Yeah, I think this was a far bigger contributor to the failure of .NET to achieve dominance. Silverlight was only ever a slightly weird sideline intended to compete with Flash, which became DOA the moment the iPhone launched and Jobs killed Flash overnight by saying the iPhone would never support it.

Microsoft's biggest internal teams turning against .NET during Longhorn created a schism that the company has never resolved. I often wonder what might have happened if they'd had the requisite leadership to force the change through organisation-wide, and MS had spent the last 15 years with a single, rational dev story.

"The EU is going to extract huge fines from everyone and their dog!"

I'm waiting for "They are applying the law inconsistently - we got away with obvious violations for a year and now we don't anymore. The injustice!"
It hurts your CV, too. You can do this once, but if you stay for only a few months at 3 startups in a row, I probably wouldn't hire you anymore. The risk is too high that you would leave the 4th startup as well.
GDPR is absurd and I refuse to take any steps to comply with it. How on earth can I be expected to precisely know if a visitor is in the EU? Do I use an unreliable geolocation database, a shot in the dark based on IP? Do I check the default system language and ridiculously assume it somehow indicates the country the user is currently in? And what about the pop up itself? If I display it in the wrong language (showing English to a French user for instance), then am I even in compliance? Just one wrong guess and I’m screwed. Who do I consult for answers on this? Life ruiningly expensive lawyers? One wrong answer from them and I’m screwed. It’s all bullshit. The day some prick in the EU comes after me for not implementing GDPR is the day I disable all monetization, sell my business to some entity that is probably a hundred times more evil and greedy than I am, and retire early.

Then you're implying that it 'might' be raining... adding hidden context to your statement, rather than taking it as face value.
Not your OP but...

In the UK there's a foundation that exists to work out what would a fair living wage, to promote this idea to businesses (getting them to commit to pay this to all workers even though the legal minimum is lower) and to make sure that when media people have your question they've got somebody who can confidently provide quotes/ appear on TV/ whatever to explain.

This was sufficiently successful that the government tried to rebrand their arbitrarily chosen (55% of median earnings) minimum wage as a "National Living Wage" but to their annoyance people continue to refer to the foundation's numbers which you know, are based on evidence.

The Living Wage Foundation uses a "basket" system like economists measuring inflation. For example they imagine that a person should rent somewhere to live, so they go find out how much it would typically cost to rent somewhere a person could live in various parts of the country. They figure you will want food, so they work out a set of groceries you might buy, and so on.

Is it possible to live on less? Yes, and it so happens that I do even though I'm fairly wealthy. But it's very obvious that even small changes in my lifestyle would significantly increase my spending, and many of my choices just aren't open to people who aren't wealthy. For example I spend very little on housing, because I own my home outright. But obviously people trying to get a minimum wage cleaning job don't own a house!

This is only news because it's Tesla.

Ford F150's are made near my hometown (Not even the only city making them). So are many versions of the Transit vans. But we're talking like 24/7 droves of trucks and vans logistically being organized and shipped out within a 10 mile area.

Sometimes it requires a staging area.

Sometimes that staging area is a parking lot in a theme park.
Sometimes that staging area is an abandoned field near train tracks. Sometimes that staging area is an overflow lot for a major casino. Either way you look at it, it's weird (Like 400 white identical trucks in the middle of nowhere). Right now, they like to line the trucks up bumper-to-bumper in a weaving-in-and-out fashion with no real rhyme or reason (I think they're bored). I drove by the other day around dusk and a few Ford employees had most of the flashers on in the trucks and were randomly honking the horns.

Most of these vans and trucks have various marks on them and removed beds (Or cabin-only vans). Some already have wraps and stickers for the corporations they're waiting to be delivered to.

This is all very normal car manufacturing. Sorry.
In these cases, I just Google the video I'd. Enough to find its title somewhere.
