Thank you, I've never seen ICE used this way before; I assumed the article was somehow about a new immigration department.

Although in practice you could just put it in a new envelope...

That actually seems like an advantage these letter "locks" have over envelopes - e.g. the butterfly one uses the middle of the letter to form the lock so it would be impossible to open it and then re-lock it.

I came to a similar conclusion and prefer Kanban to Scrum.

If there are not enough tasks you pull from backlog, if it's too much then they get finished in next sprint. Work never ends, so why the need for extra overhead to group it into 2 weeks?

I always see it as a "marathon", constant sprinting is no good long term.

However, Kanban works as long the team knows priorities and can choose between good and over kill solution, which is easier said than done. Working in a good pace without a deadline is challenging itself, since you think you have all the time in the world.
This is likely much closer to the correct answer. I do grant writing for nonprofit and public agencies and some businesses (see http://www.seliger.com/blog if you're curious), and we sometimes need to sign forms that say we're independent contractors, not employees.

There are complicated rules for determining who counts as an employee and who doesn't. Microsoft famously lost (or "settled?") a lawsuit around this issue: https://corporate.findlaw.com/human-resources/employee-or-in.... I don't know the details of the case and found this piece via DuckDuckGo, so others may know more about it than I do.

In short, some kind of tax / regulatory issues may lie at the bottom of this case, and the comment above should be near the top of the HN heap.

Edit to add that, of course, this is no excuse for the company not explaining what's going on.

From my understanding: Papers are short(-ish), multiple papers by multiple authors are published together in a magazine/conference proceedings/...

A monograph is a book by a single author on a single topic, mainly presenting their results and views. In contrast to that, a text book should be a survey of the specific field useful for learning about the field, and not just present the authors results.

Did you read the line in the article, "Moving naturally throughout the day might sound pleasant and romantic, but the reality is that 100 years ago only 10% of us had sedentary jobs, whereas today it’s 90%."?

Marathon running and weightlifting, and the popularity of such, are almost certainly correlated with a lack of meaningful physical activity in our day-to-day lives.

Also, your flippant dismissal of marathon running as a "sheepish trend" is laughable. Marathon and half-marathon event participation is declining [1] in the USA as a whole, and in 2016 507,600 people completed a full marathon and 1.9M completed a half. That's about 0.6% of the US population completing a half marathon or greater every year.

Marathons and other strength / athletic events are challenging, exhilarating, test the merits not only of your physical condition but your psychology as well, and, well, they're f*cking fun. You don't have to have the same fervor for them as the poster you're responding to, but calling them "sheepish trends" is ridiculous.

This is a common misconception that cannot be backed up by the simplest mathematics.

At no time was the total number of blacks both free and slave, in the US over 25%, yet without any social welfare programs everyone was working.

Further it was precisely the areas which were built up by slavery that were destroyed during the Civil War. Thus negating any advantage gained from slavery.

So no, the country was not built by slavery.

This is the definition of racism.

I don't understand why you would say this. Doesn't it make more sense to reserve "racism" for discrimination based on the perception of inferiority of a particular genetic race? And instead use "culturist" or "nationalist" to talk about discrimination by culture or national origin? I realize you aren't the only person to use the term this way, but calling it the "definition of racism" to discriminate on something other than race seems likely to water down the term.

The whole idea of a sprint commitment, of pointing, of measuring velocity, of a sprint demo, is in deference to the business need to plan and adjust priorities. It does them based on realities, whereas older more waterfall style methods tend to due them on hypotheticals, decisions made with the least amount of information, and then the business wonders why the heck everything is late.

That's precisely why these full-time situations should be avoided when working as a freelancer. Freelancing is a type of self-employment. Hiring someone full-time for an extended period of time is not.

Hiring freelancers just to save social security costs or to avoid labour laws is unethical at best and in many jurisdictions downright illegal.

Setting up a payroll system to make this look good on paper is quite a dodgy move.

I love the quality of apple hardware. I love knowing that the software was built for the hardware (or vice-versa, whatever). I do not enjoy configuring operating systems & desktop environments - I want to solve problems in the app I'm developing, not my development environment.

I have been delaying upgrading my MBP and iPhone, however, because I'm scared. I'm scared that the headphone-jack-removal, touchbar, locked-down-bootloader philosophy will continue, and I'll have to buy a thinkpad. I want to keep being an apple fanboy, but they're making it difficult.

Walking 30 minutes per day 5 days per week and losing 15 lbs (for an adult male) lessens the likelihood of a pre-diabetic person becoming diabetic by 60%.

In NYC where I live which has subways with stations that mostly do not have escalators people are constantly walking and walking up and down stairs as part of their daily activity.

During the hours long rush-hours it is also much faster taking subways than automobiles (e.g 15 mins instead of 45 mins).

Cities can be designed as NYC so that there is plenty of walking and stair climbing as part of the daily activity.

There are also plenty of Citibikes (cheap rentable bicycles) and bike lanes.

Funny how these articles are written by individuals who have never worked in the industry - the author is totally clueless.

Okay, let's start with money. Zoom out to a population view and do $1000 USD increments from $1000 to 100,000. The median/average ASP for a new vehicle in the U.S. is $36,270 - https://mediaroom.kbb.com/2018-02-01-Average-New-Car-Prices-....

That is not going to increase very much year over year, because wages are largely stagnant and the economy is peaking. The U.S. is way over overdue for a recession, European GDP is anemic (0.3% growth in Q3 2018 - https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/9102849/2-07...) and China GDP is 6.5% (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/19/china-q3-gdp-china-posts-eco...), but China always lies, so it's probably around 2% or 3%. That's not even taking into account that Chinese consumer debt for mortgage holdings has increased eight-fold since 2008 (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-10/nightmare-scenario...). The Chinese consumer is tapped out, which is why for the first time in 31 years, Chinese vehicle sales have actually decreased year over year - https://www.autoblog.com/2018/11/09/china-car-sales-fall/

So your vehicle ASP isn't going to increase in the next 10 years - it's probably going to decrease. Total unit volumes in the US will probably go from 17 million units to 11 or 12 million units by 2025.

You're trying to tell me the industrial CapEx required for the OEM/supply chain to switch over EV powertrain in a period of falling vehicle sales and deflationary prices for the second largest purchase a consumer can make, after a home, for the two largest automotive markets (the U.S. and China)? Bullshit.

We have a routing tier of a few hundred machines. Any of those can serve as transaction coordinator. This is one of the places where having a transaction record is useful -- in general, our locking and non-transactional read scheme will wait nicely for a 2PC transaction to complete, but in the face of failures, any actor in the system can abort the 2PC transaction by marking the transaction record. There's also a really nice optimization for non-transactional reads that allows them to read even in the event of a staged but not yet committed 2PC transaction (you can prove to yourself that a linearized read can occur on either side, if the 2PC transaction is still pending when the read begins).

> However handling null cases correctly isn't free either. Especially when you know that a value cannot be "null" under certain conditions which those 10% fall under.

While I agree there are rare cases where .unwrap() is the right thing to do, I actually disagree here that it’s anywhere close to 10%: If you want to write a function that accepts only non-null values in Rust, you simply write it as such! In fact, this is the default, and no cognitive burden is necessary: non-nullable T is written simply as “T”. If you have an Option<T> and want to convert it into a T in Rust, you simply use “if let” or “match” control flow statements.

I actually think using .unwrap() in Rust anywhere but in test code or top-level error handling is almost always a mistake, with perhaps 0.001% of exceptions to this rule. I write code that never uses it, except those cases mentioned; while I’ve run into situations where I felt at first .unwrap() was appropriate, I took a step back to think of the bigger picture and so far always find safer solutions to yield a better overall design.

The cognitive burden from Rust comes not from this, but almost entirely from the borrow checker (a completely different toptic), and in some cases, arguably inferior “ergonomics” vs how Zig or Kotlin handle optionals.

For example, in some null-safe languages, you can write:

if (myObject) { myObject.mehod(); }

And the compiler will understand this is safe. Whereas, in Rust, you must write:

if let Some(x) = myObject { x.method(); }

This is not even to mention that Rust has no built-in shorthand for Option<T> (some languages write “T?” for example), but I understand why they chose not to build this into the language; rather, Option<T> in Rust is actually a component of the stranded library! In a way, that’s actually quite cool and certainly is by-design; however, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s slightly more verbose.

IMO it’s not a huge deal, but certainly Rust could benefit from some syntax sugar here at least. Either way, both examples here are safe and statically checked by the compiler.

Pink is the hue between purple and red. You can't just saturate red, you also have to add a slight bit of blue.

This is pink: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53cdd3f3e4b09b69bef6e...

You can't adjust the saturation of that color to make it red, just a lighter shade of pink. There are pink colors that are closer to red than to purple, but pink is a different part of the color space than red is.

If you see the shade in that link as red or purple, then you're living in a hell of having no rational basis by which to talk about color, or possibly color-blind.

Small IC engines are not the total cause of greenhouse gas emissions, not even the bulk of them. Other transport (shipping, rail, trucks, air etc) contribute as does cement, steel, power and fertilizer production. Replacing every "car" with a tesla today wont do nearly what is needed. Coversely, a delay to the switch to EV doesnt spell doom. This is a larger problem.
It seems that "genetics" is increasingly becoming the essentialism of the 21st century. Because you now sound silly if you use words like 'soul' or 'energy', people increasingly rely on 'genetics' or 'biology' to prove all sorts of political points or argue for public policies. As someone whose job is literally staring at and manipulating fasta files [1][2] all day, I find this newly found fascination people have with their own DNA (and others') deeply unsettling. People want it to be our 'source code', our 'blueprint', our video game character starting stats, any kind of proxy for one's soul, but there's so much more to the self than a dumb fasta file, we're only barely beginning to uncover it. And I'm not talking about the environment either (and by the way, the genetics/environment false dichotomy has been outdated for a while; whenever I hear things like 'nature/nurture' it makes me cringe). Epigenetics, microbiota, DNA spatial structure, all sorts of developmental stuff... these all contribute too, and have little to do with one's 'upgringing' or 'nurturing' as most people understand it.

It's all the more pervasive because some of the talking points are sort of true, but then people immediately jump to conclusions regarding social issues. Which in my view shows that people are not really interested in the science itself but are more looking into a way to map their mental model onto it so as to provide a socially acceptable justification of their opinions. This has been done for hundreds of years (from racialist theories to Lyssenkism to all kinds of foodstuffs lobbies) and I would very much like it if there weren't a resurgence of this kind of thinking in the current political climate.
