This isn't a surprise. Back in the day, a kid fresh out of high school in the US could get a job that supported a house with a yard, a car, children, and a non-working spouse.

Factories were both directly paying good wages for non-high-skill positions and fueling a myriad of local businesses where those workers spent their money. Then globalization happened, and those factories went to China. Entire local and regional economies collapsed and a lot of them STILL haven't recovered.

Great opportunity for Chinese people, not so good for American people.

You might think from this that I hate the Chinese, or the poor, or something. That's not true. I just think we need to find a way for regular Chinese people to have hope and opportunity, that doesn't involve taking hope and opportunity away from regular American people.

Billionaire Ray Dalio said in a recent interview that 8 of 12 times there's been a rising power situation like the current one with China, it's turned into a shooting war.

My own opinion: If people's hope and opportunity are taken away, they start to get into the mood for a shooting war with the people they think took it. Bringing hope and opportunity back to regular Americans could prevent World War 3.

How do we do it?
Generalize your argument and reply please. Many things require skill, maybe initial capital and upfront investment is the OPs point. OP claims to pay "2k/mo" to get people to quit their jobs and focus on learning X, where X is programming.

I'm sure the parent commenter meant to use "please" in that manner, as the stats are being used in a deliberately misleading manner.

Even your source shows it... that's 30 percent of a small (presumably affluent) section of the city, not of the whole city. There are some 2.5 million apartments in the city, and this is talking about just 5k.

There are other sources that cite the actual percentage as 11% [1]. That's still high, unfair to residents, and worth discussing, but you can't win arguments by putting up fake stats.

If you can offer better support and better reliability, you can even get away with charging a lot more money than your competitors.

Position yourself as a purveyor of premium goods, hand-crafted using genuine leather with a personal touch for each customer. Make the competition suddenly look like cheap knockoffs, the kind that serious people should never even consider buying. Convince people to pay for the privilege of buying from you instead.

This strategy doesn't work in all markets, but when it does, it does wonders.
He won't have the Orthodox Shabbat-observing hechsher-seeking Jews. Most American Jews, and I suspect most Vermont Jews, are quite open to buying a bagel on Saturdays, or from a bagel shop that isn't strictly kosher.

Doubly so for his non-Jewish customers.

For me, completing the Spiral Matrix, I did not find the hint for the third and final section relate-able at all to my solution.

Essentially, it assumes a bit too much the shape of the resulting solution.

That's not to say I didn't get value from the hint, or that I think others will not - on the contrary, it is a valuable and clear hint.

The unfortunate part is just the feeling of being taken completely "out of it" in solving the solution with a slightly different approach and wondering momentarily if somehow one is wrong, even though one is passing all the tests.

The recap is also fairly lacking in content, but I imagine that is clear to you already.

Nice job on the site, generally.
I only had a couple hiccups with submissions and some weird aliasing on the editor if I would edit a line before it redrew.

It was the only browser with a decent Javascript sandbox, at least until recently. Wikipedia claims Firefox got a sandbox this month, but I think I've seen earlier claims:

> Until November 2018, Firefox was the last widely used browser not to use a browser sandbox to isolate Web content in each tab from each other and from the rest of the system.[120][121]

H&CF is a great series and switches gears every season. The final season has some of the most beautifully written and acted character moments I've ever seen on TV. I finished it almost aching for the characters on the show and I rarely ever have a strong reaction to TV.

Public WHOIS data is probably useful for commercial services, so that you can know who you are buying from. Other than that I suppose won't need (although there should still be some WHOIS data just so that you can see when it was registered, at least), although anyways it can be avoided if you do not use a domain name at all, or use a different TLD service than the official one I suppose.
Pull up, lift into road, park, profit.
Or have the car rendezvous with the nearest police car which wouldn't probably leave the thief time enough to exit.

Even if he successfully gets away how likely is he then to steal another Tesla?

Even if a hacker sells them a zero day hack then it will only last a single day before Tesla updates its entire fleet.
Long before learning of React or redux I built a similar system to do IPC between two embedded MCUs.

All state was owned by the master MCU, slave MCU sent messages to the master requesting changes of state, the entire state for the slave CPU was then sent over with the requested changes.

Even what UI screen was shown was handled this way.

I was much more junior then, so the entire system wasn't event driven, all state was transferred every 33ms (iirc).

Redux is moderately more complex than that system, although my system was built in pure C and involved interop between C and C# running in an interpreter.
I think we should be careful with this. Currently, because of the frozen property tax law, many houses worth millions pay very little in property taxes; if they did have to pay taxes on the millions of dollars their property is worth, they would have had to sell their houses ages ago. This would have likely created a downward pressure on the prices; making it unlikely that the home prices would reach the levels they are now.

All of which to say that assessing the property tax on the current market value of all those properties isn't an accurate number; there is no way there are so many people making that much money living in California.

Is BBT filmed in front of an audience? I thought OP's point was it's a laugh track, and there are no people there actually laughing.
It does a great job at isolating and grinding on the insufferable pretentiousness of the SV startup scene.

The first season resonated the most with my experiences, but I know others who recognize their own experiences in different parts of it.
He's talking mostly about military technology. I'd agree that killer-robots would be horrible - for the potential to make military action easier, to make it even easier for a single mad man launch a war and so-forth.

I don't think "real" military AI is that close because things on the battle-field have to be robust and current AI seems to be inherently fragile - not always reliable and less reliable in chaotic situations.

But semi-military applications like deciding who a drone will kill have potential ... to do even more harm than drones have already done.
Not so great if you can't afford to live in the most economically advantageous parts of your country.
Ask HN: Can you actually get a dev job without doing a stupid quiz?
I hate all forms of on-line/in-situ developer exams and tests. It is basically non-sense code golf in 5 minutes on an universe of problems plus all the pressure of a job interview.

Today when you have code repositories, container repositories, challenge sites (HackerRank, CodeChef, etc), linkedin, blogs, h-index ranks, ... My line of thought is: With all of this free avaliable on-line information if a recruiter still need to test if I can extract max value without a binary search tree, then he didn't do his job. What do he wants to test? If I hired a genius to build a fake developer profile for me? And then I present myself to the job interview anyway? For what?

Look at this way: If I have 130 GitHub repositories (not forks), half of them fully passing tests through CI, my issues reports, my PR's, my own code metric reports including object-coupling, cyclomatic complexity, Halstead, Hansen metrics and all the stuff... should I really spent 3 months to practice how to add without + operator? And then get on-line interview just to discover they want me to write a k-partition problem solver?

There are companies which do not rely on these stupid stressful tests?
I do some webdev (work with APIs & frontend stuff like react, vue). The firefox debugger is different. After an adjustment period I got used to them just fine and actually prefer some parts (like the network tab).

Under normal circumstances retaliatory tariffs may be important, but I think because of the relatively asymmetric nature of US-China trade (the US's massive trade deficit to China), I'm definitely more interested in how the tariffs are affecting the Chinese manufacturers and American consumers. But yes a more complete analysis should look at both sides.
My understanding was OP has been a consultant for startups, in the traditional sense of advising what works and what doesn't. Depending on how involved OP is and how high level they are working, that may only involve spending a few hours per week per client - I'd imagine even just joining a weekly retrospective and advising a team would be pretty valuable.

By default if you speed audio up it will sound higher pitched. Chrome must being doing something special because they noticed people liked watching videos at 2x but found the high pitched noise annoying. Maybe they downsamples insteadnkf actually shrinking the spectrum of the audio.
Specially ChromeOS.
I don't understand the argument against military robots and AI. Why is it more moral to send men to die instead of machines?

Edit:

About asymmetry in the battlefield, yes, but then you should say the same of all advanced weaponry, right? Each side is aspiring for asymmetry in war technology.

About the army refusing to carry out orders. That's a good point that I hadn't thought of. I'm not super sure that current humans are really that great, but it's a fair point.

About the cost of war. High end military technology is very expensive and something this sophisticated probably won't be cheap. But even disregarding that, I would prefer thousands of machines being destroyed to humans dying.
Because all bubbles eventually go pop.

As silly a proposition as any other.

Mostly politicians and pundits. Economics, neither the mathematically inclined microeconomics nor the formulaic and macroeconomics have such thought or principles behind them.
Yes! Or black should resign. And in addition, they have clocks for a reason - though time is added indefinitely at the end (if a player moves fast enough) - if a player takes an hour more than an opponent (like Carlsen did in the middle of game 8) they should start to feel the pressure of that more severely.
This is the real truth about the tech boom - how it impacts society as a whole and who benefits. A nation's progress is measured by the standard of living of the average citizen, not the elite. By that yardstick the so-called advanced nations such as the UK and USA, with their spiralling housing costs, are moving backwards not forwards.
Patents are entirely unrelated to trademarks. I very much doubt that an operating system would be able to infringe on a patent for interconnecting plastic blocks.

An operating system called "LegoOS" might infringe on the trademark of a plastic block company called "LEGO" (though one of the tests is "likelihood of confusion" and it would be hard to confuse the two).
Pakistani fwiw.
You can see the discussions on GitHub but @ridiculousfish authored that series of commits fwiw.

However with regards to your other matter, I personally just finished rewriting the job control code to close out a lot of long standing bugs affecting correctness and child process behavior in complicated scripting cases, and other members like @faho have done an amazing job fixing up some of the builtins and scripting-related improvements as well as putting in insane effort into the interactive behavior of the shell and its insane library of completions.

Try the current fish master builds and see how if fares. If you have any specific concerns, please file a GitHub issue. It’s an open source project and it can only succeed with the help of the entire community.

fwiw I find the sanity fish brings to process substitution with sane tokenization and automatic escaping of shell substitution output to be a huge boon to productivity over writing in (ba)sh. These days, my scripts are either written in ninja or bmake if they are rule/output driven or fish otherwise.
For various reasons there seems to be a tendency for those who invest in real estate to exercise their political power in such a way as to maximize the value of their investment. Some of those who look for a reason why affordable housing is scarce in their community may consider looking in the mirror.
I've used Firefox 55-62 and I switched back to Chrome recently. Quantum was a great improvement, but it is still too buggy for me and it's gone downhill somewhere in the past few months

* Uses 30-40% CPU constantly on my Ubuntu laptop, causing the entire system to freeze.

* Slow on JS-heavy apps like JIRA, Gmail, Google docs.

* Firefox Android randomly decides to stop loading web pages, requiring a force quit and restart.

* Firefox Android bugged out while writing this comment, the text I typed would appear at a specific location, regardless of where I put the cursor. This and various other HTML input bugs require me to restart the browser again and again.

I use subvolumes, snapshots, and send/recv functionality for cheap replication of data. Sometimes even on RAIDed disks!

There are only two file systems with that feature set today: Btrfs and ZFS. I personally prefer Btrfs because it's way more flexible and shipped with the Linux kernel.
Exactly. Programming is not for everyone. Probably not for even half of the population so if we fail to diversify our economies and pour all our resources into tech it's going to be a very sad world where the other half of the population are good for nothing. A world fuelled by tech at the expense of everything else is not a world I want to live in.
Very thorough piece, it's good seeing all the images that form the inspiration. I'd like to see something similar for the original Incredibles.

The original Incredibles is one of my favorites. There's a simplicity, pace and elegance to everything that makes it very tight and watchable.

I enjoyed Incredibles II but thought it suffered a little from "sequel ramp-up" where everything is required to be "bigger" and "better". Story is displaced by action, and then you end up rating the movie on the action scenes and sequences rather than a unified whole with story, dialog and action in balance. The visuals were excellent but even then, sometimes too much was crammed in, and not easy to take in due to pace of story advancing quickly.
I think it depends on the company and where you live. This culture may be prevalent in Silicon Valley, but less so in other places. I live in Denver and every interview process I've gone through is different.

For one, I walked in and they handed me a laptop and a paper with a list of requirements for a REST API with some sample data and said, "We'll see you in 3 hours".

For another, I had 5 in-person interviews, none of which included any coding, whiteboarding, quizes, etc. The closest to that was "Describe the architecture of a system you've built".

For most, I'd say there is some amount of coding involved, but they rarely involving writing code on a whiteboard or solving a "quiz". Usually the coding I've had to do is at a computer, like pair-programming, or a project submitted ahead of time.

"Quizes" are the reason I've never even thought about applying to any of the giants, like Google / Facebook. I don't like them either, but I don't mind showing off my coding chops.
> “The police tested several cars; Tesla, Audi, Mercedes, and Toyota,” he continues. “We do this in collaboration with these car companies because this information is valuable to them, too. If we can hack into their cars, others can as well.”

At least they have the right attitude about it, as opposed to "Don't worry, only we can hack it, you can trust us!"
I've been on SSRI for almost 20 years. It stopped working after about 6-7 years and attempted to stop talking it, not cold turkey but by gradually weaning off it. I had such a bad experience that, now I'm still on it. I asked my doctor when I could stop taking it and she recommended me a time in my life when I don't need to come in to work for a couple of good months, basically to take some time off and deal with this. The problem was that I never had that time and life got in the way, got a child now, a wife, and I project that I will postpone getting of it ad infinitum.

I'm on Paxil 20mg, and every once in a while I skip a dose I am reminded of that feeling of melting into a painful death and excruciable headaches, nausea, palpitations, sweating, very comparable with the withdrawals of an opiate addict.

Other than that, after almost 20 years on it, I feel mostly good except for a once a month dip into 1-3 days of flu like simptomps, lethargy, lack of energy that I cure with 2-3 days of sleep. It keeps on repeating around once a month.

I should find time to get off this but am afraid I can't afford at the time such luxury. I have people depending on me...
Trademark infringement requires a bit more than just using the name (likelihood of confusion is one of the tests), but given that companies need to aggressively defend their trademark to keep it they might file a suit anyway.
I would actually be okay with Red Hat applying the same restriction SUSE did.

For what it's worth, this is the feature set SUSE offers: https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/15/#TechI...

I would be absolutely okay if Red Hat applied the same restrictions.
I could see them being used together with something like https://github.com/Monadical-SAS/redux-time to manage animated transitions of game states or data visualizations from one step to the next.
I see no problem with that. The killed don't care who took the decision. And we could tune the AI to be as trigger happy as we like it to be.
So if you want strict rules of engagement - program them. If you want to cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war - ditto. The moral decision is still yours but as standing order, you ignore couple of middlemen.
