In the US here. 60K is by no means consider a low cost car anywhere, however yes, that could be considered a low cost model if you are talking about a high end sports luxury brand, but even in that case doesn't make much sense since BMW, Mercedes and all have low cost entry models that are far below 60k, and for the the even more premium brands there lowest price cars are probably over 100K. So not sure which brand you are referring to where 60k is the entry model?

But yes if someone has money and little to no family they will spend it all trying to save themselves. Where is if they have a family they are more likely to try to live while also knowing its unlikely and thinking to the future for their families.

Also the US Congress has made the decision about low-tax low safety net. The majority of American's accordingly to the popular vote in the last election voted for democrats that would have been higher tax and higher safety net. So majority of Americans do not support the current Congress in power's approach. Hoping our health care system is fixed some day but with the power those lobbyist hold that is highly unlikely even with different leadership in charge.

minds are much more complicated

It's actually not clear if brains are more complicated to understand than modern smartphones. Modern smartphones are designed using numerous abstraction levels - it makes it easier to design, but harder to understand if you don't know those abstractions. Brain, on the other hand, might have fewer fundamental algorithms/methods. In fact, most of the brain complexity could just be evolutionary quirks, some to make to make it's slightly more efficient, others to make some biological functions easier, etc. In the end, it might turn out that the actual human intelligence is not that hard to understand once we got through understanding all those design quirks.

This might sound ridiculous - after all a human brain looks so much more complex than an iPhone! But if you didn't know anything about transistors, analog circuit design, digital logic design, computer architecture, OS architecture, and software engineering (not to mention the complexity of cellular protocols), you would have a really hard time reverse engineering a smartphone.
No. Chromecast isn't free software or open protocol. Official support only comes through google's closed sdk and libs. Some projects like vlc have reverse engineered it sufficiently to support it somewhat, but it's far from perfect.

Don't worry, it's completely normal. First few months can be hard. Especially if it's a Amazon where they will have no team specific on-boarding.

I guess your best bet is to try to get help from peers, go for lunch with them and that kind of stuff to not feel left out.

And don't jump into projects, alone by yourself. Try getting another person allocated on the project with you. Their domain knowledge will go a long way in getting things delivered.
Gruber made a good point: They aren't quite doubling down as hard as they could.[1] They said their reporters spoke with a lot of people and spent a long time on the story. They checked the boxes in the journalistic process, so to speak.

But they didn't detail, like, that there was substantial corroboration of specific details like Apple working with the FBI. That leaves open possibilities that it came from just one source or that the reporters mixed up some details. Whereas the company/govt denials are very detailed and clear to rule out any possibility of misinterpretation. Bloomberg's "double down" is nowhere near that level.

Not even in the US is that description remotely reasonable; $60K is above the average new car price...not just overall, but even in the “Luxury Car” segment.

Ordinarily, yes. But what if this was double secret NSL?
To be fair, "Of those, over half (55%) had lived in San Francisco for 10 or more years" is much harder to game, though just as easy to lie about.

I'm more worried about this thought in the article:

> While cities report inconsistently, San Francisco currently spends around $430 per city resident per year on services and programs for the homeless, compared to $260 in New York and $110 in Los Angeles. Yet the problem in our city is worse, and despite increases in spending, has continued to worsen.

It's not a surprise that the city with more spending on services for the homeless has more homeless. That's exactly what you'd expect under pretty much any model.

Do you believe that subsidizing the homeless means you'll get more homeless? Then higher spending will directly cause more homelessness.

Do you believe that places with bigger problems will try harder to do something about them? Then higher spending will reflect more homelessness.
I recently watched a family member go through this. A few things that were sobering to see:

- Three weeks in she was buried in paperwork. One chemo treatment would turn into 4-5 invoices from different subcontractors at a single hospital, some covered by her insurance, others not covered. Her insurer denied claims arbitrarily and made her go through a bunch of invasive and unnecessary procedures to prove her illness.

- Her insurer started calling her incessantly, insisting that she join some sort of program where they would “help” her make decisions about her care. It undermined the confidence she had in her doctors and the decisions she was trying to make, which is a terrible feeling for anyone to go through when they are sick with cancer and trying to survive.

- There were a series of insurance “land mines” on the horizon - forget to renew this thing on this random date 2 months from now? You’ve lost your insurance.

The whole healthcare and insurance system is a dark pattern, even for working adults who are fully covered.

> Which of the two groups of people are benefitting from Hacker News showing metrics?

That is a bit of a nonsense question. Neither benefit, because there is no advertising on HN, and HN is not a media distribution business. HN is an online forum, and the original point of post ratings on forums was crowdsourced moderation. The point of online forum moderation is to remove spam, trolling, kooks, and other things that waste your reading time. So moderation is a strictly negative system. Using post ratings for online reputation is what turns it into a positive system.

IMO online reputation based on upvotes is a game with no winners, only losers. Problems include gamification and addiction, groupthink, privacy risks (it is very easy to correlate bits of information to deanonymize pseudonyms, the persistent use of which the point system encourages). What's the benefit? It is much more valuable to focus on the moderation aspects. The problem with online communities today is keeping out spam, trolls, kooks, idiots, and other bad actors. Modding down inane and ignorant postings so that they don't waste people's time is much more valuable in keeping forums interesting and relevant than another 10 upvotes. "Harmless" but useless and time-wasting posts will drive participants away and erode the community. That is the one of the lessons of Eternal September.
actually, if you believe in natural evolution, brains are designed.

just because there isn't any intelligence involved, doesn't mean that the brain isn't a meticulously crafted piece of perfection.
Yeah, totally makes sense. Just trying to play devils advocate here as it was the first thing that came to mind and the more I thought about it they worse it got. Likely something you could address is the privacy/terms section if it ever gets to that point. You could also flip it around, and help folks get a leg up on companies, in that you could say folks that interviewed with A/B/C choose A. You might even collect data like glassdoor on this webdev vs devops gets 150k per year for a similar job. Maybe interview-to-offer timelines, like how many interviews it takes, and typically takes 6+ months to get hired here. I'm not sure. I'd just focus on giving potential employees an advantage vs employers. As, employers typically already have a massive advantage for folks just entering the job market.

In my experience living here, the majority of people are pretty sane, however the loud, insane voices are the ones that get media coverage. The media really does have a lot to answer for pursuing entertainment value over factually-based reporting.

Voluntarily voting and scheduling voting on a weekday during work hours is also problematic, because largely only people with a strong motivation to vote (read: single-issue voters on the fringes) usually end up voting, which polarizes political discourse.

This is a weakness imo:

`client.query(
q.get(
q.match(
q.index("posts_by_title"),
"My cat and other marvels"
)
))`

That you have to specify the index in a query is a regression imo at least I've been spoiled by not having to have to do so in when using Mongo or SQL databases since the query engine will more often than not find the right index.
i7-9700K offers about 10% better performance than the 2700X for this[0][1] for about the same percentage increase in price. Pretty decent. Worth noting that the i9-9900K and i7-9700K are about the same here.

I see a lot of moaning about inefficiency here, but here's a point of comparison. During the Bubble years in the late eighties, when many rural areas were feeling left out, there was a scheme to give basically every municipality in Japan a large lump sum of money ($10m?), no strings attached, except that it had to be used for building something new.

This, as you might guess, was an incredible waste of money. Many podunk towns built flashy "multi-purpose halls" (多目的ホール) perfect for all those symphony orchestras just dying to perform in the middle of nowhere. More memorably, the town of Utazu, Kagawa purchased a solid gold toilet...!

> If there is something like a NSL involved, Apple's legal team would have already reviewed it.

Apple's official statement clearly said, they're not under any form of NSL or gag order.

The prevailing logic seems to be that US courts still believe the government can't force you to say something against your will, only prevent you from saying something.
What strikes me as disingenuous about your posture is this: You are basically arguing that the insurers are introducing lifetime caps (making life much worse for the affected individuals, basically nullifying the whole point of insurance) not out of concern for their profit margin, but out of the goodness of their hearts to keep the premiums low for the paying public. That strikes me as unlikely.

Of course, if you don't impose these limits, the costs must be borne by the collective insured. However, if there is one government/single payer insurer, nobody would ever dream up the insane idea of saying, hey, if you're really fucked, we'll stop paying your health bills, so we can shave off a few dollars of everyone's premiums.
I think you’re underestimating just how useful those weak protections still are. The increase in freedoms over the past ~50 years has been gigantic, and a huge part of that came from federal intervention. The state I live in would almost certainly still have segregation and still outlaw my marriage, for example. Consider all the crazy shit that certain states have started doing since the Supreme Court struck down the preapproval provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

It’s far from perfect. States still try to violate civil rights and it still takes a long time to fix that, if ever. The feds sometimes push more restrictions against the wishes of states that want more freedom, like with marijuana. But overall, based on history, I think that giving the states more freedom would be a huge step backwards.

The A/B Testing Replication Crisis
I think there needs to be some balance to the ease of research. Like if you want the original unmodified version you have to actually go to the newspaper archives.

In the past you could always do this research. But it was expensive so you wouldn’t just to check up on your new neighbor.
Of the 9.5 million cancer diagnoses studied between 2000–2012, researchers discovered that 42.4 percent of patients (median age 68.6±9.4 years) spent all of their money, averaging $92,098. This follows disturbing news from earlier this year that 40 percent of Americans can't afford to pay $400 in case of an emergency. The math is not adding up.

No, the math doesn't make sense. Either the author of the linked article misinterpreted the journal article, or the authors of the journal article didn't reports their numbers correctly.

The only other conclusion might be that cancer strikes the "wealthy" (those with 100K in savings) more than the poor.
Unbiased in that the article we are all referencing is coming from you guys, the creators, you can't help but show it in a positive light and I don't fault you for it. Just I've become so jaded of late that I am looking for people who have used it in the wild.

Justice Dept. Accuses Russians of Interfering in Midterm Elections
More entertaining than the deep dig is the passionate position the author took: "The entire cult of those who open their ketchup cups is build upon lies, misinterpretation and shitty journalism."

Remember that scene from Knocked Up when Paul Rudd (I think it was him) talks about how much he wishes he liked anything the way his kid likes blowing bubbles?

I feel like there's an inverse here: I wish I was opposed to anything as much as this author is opposed to the improper use of ketchup cups.
This raises a really important point. A limit that’s basically impossible to hit is very different from a limit that you’re basically guaranteed to hit if you have a major problem.

This a design choice to guarantee predictable performance at scale, not an architectural limitation, and subject to revision.

You don't want your service to collapse when the query optimizer suddenly doesn't choose the right index anymore. That was a hard lesson learned for us at Twitter.
I mean, it's not like that take is wrong. Articles like this actually are written by (relatively) unbiased journalists. It's not an investigative piece so that word wouldn't apply.

It's the New Yorker, it's a very credible source that practices real journalism. Some outlets don't as much. But these guys have very strict ethics and fact checking requirements.

True, a publicist almost certainly emailed the writers and editors a million times asking for a profile but so did literally every other company in the world, so it's not really all that dispositive.

But either way, the point is every story that involves access to a person or company is to some extent managed by that person or company. Sometimes the outlet comes up with the idea, often it's pitched. But it doesn't really matter all that much which. It's up to the outlet to decide how much work they do, how oppositional they are, and what their voice is in the story. It’s up to the person/company to decide if they want to participate and how.

Yes, in the abstract that process is sort of interesting. But its mere existence is not news.

Imagine if a fellow HN poster came along in every thread and was like "HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW RENT THE RUNWAY PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN OWN THE COMPUTERS THE WEBSITE IS ON, THERE'S A THING CALLED CLOUD COMPUTING!! HERE'S A LINK TO A BLOG POST BY A POETRY PROFESSOR WHO WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THIS FACT" for thirteen years, you might say, well sure, while this particular example could be an exception as you are offering up no knowledge of this actual website's server setup, in general for a company like this that's often true, and sure, actually yes, this concept of cloud computing is certainly interesting.

It is a SDR-based HF transceiver instead of wide-band SDR. SDR is implementation detail and extra feature. Most SDRs are receive only, and the ones that can transmit, like ones you listed, are limited in power.

The other difference is interface. The QSX, and other SDR-based transceivers, work like other regular transceivers. They have USB port for computer control and sound card output. Some newer radios provide I-Q input and output which can be used for more advanced modes. But the bandwidth is limited compared to the SDRs which can monitor an entire band.
