I've used plenty of those programs growing up in a poor family. It was never enough. And today, with budgets becoming ever tighter, it's less than ever. I work hard for the food on my table but it wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be here if I had never stolen food when I needed it most. But none of this has a damn thing to do with your straw man argument that I was saying being poor causes someone to commit crimes, and it has nothing to do with the drug war. I'm done talking with you because you're just playing devils advocate and derailing the conversation.
It obviously wasn't a fast transition, but Christianity brought around the concept of absolute religious equality. A novel idea to the world, and likely the catalyst that changed thousands of years of slavery.

I know it isn't in fashion to credit Christianity with anything, but what other philosophy of the era could have eventually ended slavery, given slavery is likely the state of man ever since Grog the caveman threatened his brother-son with a beating if he didn't fetch more water.
I want to know why the doctor charges $300 for a procedure that a pharmacy offers for only $30. Is there any reason for it besides just wanting to extract more money?

They only reuse the first stage at this point, so still a lot of cost there.
Yeah. Utterly hopeless (at least in Australia). I was attempting to talk myself down from suicidal thoughts, I called as anonymously as I could (turned off caller ID and didn't give my name) and they still called the police.

The service I called was Lifeline Australia. I suggest that if you don't want to experience the absolutely dire and abusive mental health system that you don't call them. They may say they are confidential, but they aren't. Even after I made an official complaint about their lack of warning on their phone system (which states they are confidential!) they have done nothing about this. It really feels like they are trying to trick people into calling no matter what.

I’d say the same thing for enterprise companies though. It’s not like they bank that money.

They use it on project management, sales management, key account management, four layers of testing setup that still lets bugs slip into production, and a whole lot of other useless stuff.

I mean, the budget is transparent, they spend less than 20% on actual development and makes less than 10% out as profits, so that’s 70% inefficiency, and they only won the contracts because all the big companies are like that.

You’re not wrong though, turning it political isn’t really great for building software. My point is just that a big company is almost as political as the public sector, and sometimes they are less adaptive because their political leadership and vision changes slower and has smaller range.

The equivalent system sbsys was also build by private sector developers you know, but here the political side handled the project management and codebase leadership, and apparently we’re just a lot better at that.

One big step toward fixing it would be to require providers to post price lists. Another would be to prevent separate prices for different insurers and uninsured clients.

Yes, there will remain distortions in the healthcare market, but at least there would be a way for people to make informed decisions.
It's funny how people say things like "just a better UI layer", when to non-techies, the application IS the UI, and the only thing that matters (as long as the performance is acceptable) is features and ease of use.
Amazingly, Shadow DOM does not block all outside CSS. The * properties leak in, unless you add #container { all: initial; } inside, but that doesn't work in Firefox. I wonder why authors forget this strange fact.
I'm wondering what will be first: practical fusion reactors or practical QC.

Also, will we at some point be able to linearly convert energy into compute power. In that case: would we still need QC?

(You might say that this conversion is already possible, but it requires human interaction)
One downside is it seldom seems much fun. Sure you can have noble suicide like the Kamikaze pilots but usually its a messy and upsetting business.
I've got mixed feelings on this as well. It feels like a passport should be a service received on the basis of being a citizen, but I also accept that ~$100 is a nominal processing fee and that government doesn't offer any services for free. As another poster pointed out, it's still cheaper overall than the cost of a driver's license, which potentially brings with it the cost of training, insurance, not to mention an actual vehicle and its costs assuming that was the reason for getting a license in the first place.
Why do you think working conditions are good at Facebook. Facebook’s style of open-plan office & surveillance culture is one of the unhealthiest, anti-human work environments around. Even if the company had ethical self-awareness, I’d stillstay away just due to the physical health degradation that results from that type of open-plan office, and to help reduce the cargo-cult copying that leads other companies to mistakenly adopt that type of open-plan layout just because Facebook does.
Great execution involves new solutions and ideas, though. After seeing this post, I tried creating an airtable for a project I'm working on (finding a new condo to buy) and one thing that really stood out to me was that after filling the table with some data, airtable automatically generated a documented API that I could use to upload data to my table. Slick execution, yes, but also a novel idea as far as I know. Granted, I'm not super familiar with all the other solutions.
I see you didn't read the article :)
While pointing out funding from George Soros is an overused trick reliant on ad hominem, I do not see how it is any more outrageous or racist than the even more common trope of vilifying projects because they are linked to the Koch brothers.

I'm part Jewish myself and I don't think criticism of Sheldon Adelson or George Soros for their political activity is necessarily anti-Semitic.
If you had to bet $5 on whether or not the reporter sat these kids down before interviewing them for the record and said something like, "Be advised, what you say in this article is going to be seen by every potential employer for the next 5+ years, are you ready to drop some truth bombs?" how would you bet?

I would bet that she did not...
"Danish CS degrees are in high regard, and we’re all fairly good at English.
There are a lot of Danes in Silicon Valley, I mean, C++, C# and Ruby were made by Danes, so it’s not like Murica isn’t open for us."

That is my point. Many of them move to the SV because they can get better conditions (caused by more leverage) there than if they stay in Denmark because there is a magnitude more tech companies there than in DK.
I'm pretty sure they don't just move to avoid the rain :)
That's not how free markets work. Otherwise food would also cost everything you own.
Alternatively we can just use camel case: "ISoSaySomeComputerScienceStudents"
That means you believe you simply die and your pain is alleviated, which many people (who are not intellectually lazy) don't agree with, so they might want to genuinely help out. In any case suicide most often comes from a moment of spiked anxiety or panic, so why should we just let people who would otherwise care and like to be near us take their lives in a moment their rational brain isn't working with the calm generally afforded for important decisions (say, business decisions) that have big effects the person contemplating death otherwise cares about?
An interesting use case for a "backup" GPS is to rely on GPS itself for the accuracy you need, but look at the other constellations to verify if GPS is being spoofed - in that way you can protect yourself against the GPS misdirection attacks (e.g. by relaying with a carefully calculated delay) that have been performed multiple times now; you'd know that you're getting a fake GPS signal and can't rely on it.
there seems to be something in mac safari for 'stylesheet' loading under 'advanced' preferences. if the browsers don't give people tools to edit/manage from within the browsers, even the average tech-savvy user won't bother with these, which is a bit of a shame.
I take the point, while noting H-bombs put out more power than is put in. Perhaps "getting more useful power out..."?
Yeah, it seemed like hyperbole but fit my narrative and was the first hit on Google.

The context isn't relevant when I'm correcting a fact, at least as we/I currently understand it - the universe is infinite. I'm wasn't making a statement about dark energy, or life.

>avoid the mars colonization expenses and undercut them on price.

it would also lead to "undercutting" on technology. Look at Bezos - without such a powerful Mars hyper-drive the best he can do is being engine supplier to ULA. Hugely respectable achievement on its own, no doubts, yet nothing close to SpaceX who has already really advanced our civilization and is on track to advance it even further.

In particular i think the Mars mission based POV allows to filter for the best architectures long-term, like modular construction F9/Heavy which wouldn't be necessary the best in the short term of just servicing Earth satellites.

I think they are comfortable with it from using it for a long time.

In fact I find people do everything in MS Office products, generally in ways you wouldn't necessarily expect the software to be used. E.g. PowerPoint is the de facto tool for designing conference posters. To create 'versions' of documents, people will copy and paste the file and add a number at the end.

I think we often get so myopic about our perspective on technology that we forget that non-technologists have a vastly different relationship with it.
I'm more concerned if it bothers your sleeping partner.

> lists.sr.ht finally modernizes mailing lists

What's new that lists.sr.ht brings to the table? I only had a quick browse of https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev, but as far as I could tell it looked like a pretty normal list of topic lines (like a typical web forum), and the e-mail conversations themselves are just the messages concatenated into one long page (e.g. https://lists.sr.ht/~emersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180916165820.144...).

Is there something interesting and new about the way these mailing lists work that I'm not seeing?

It's not like those sorts of IDEs don't exist. Swift and ObjC have Xcode, C# has VS, Java has IntelliJ, etc.

> What I'd like [...] not an IDE that can provide features [...] in a consistent manner

How is providing consistent support for many languages a bad thing? This I don't understand. People love their tools, for better or worse, so why should being forced to change tools be the only workflow?

Your beloved one-IDE-for-a-couple-of-languages already exist and have done for years, so no need to be a Grinch.
>For everyone. Efficient markets raise per capita productivity, which raises quality of life for the vast majority of the population.

The majority of the US can't financially bear an emergency $1000 expense without going into debt, joblessness, or homelessness.

Productivity isn't connected positively individual quality of life, otherwise this wouldn't be the case.

A free market depends on an entire class of people maintained in poverty. That is not efficient except for a minor plurality.

As I said in your parent comment, the base assumptions that markets efficiently distribute resources is a lie.
Agreed. To criticize Soros or someone who's Jewish is somehow automatically anti-semitic. I don't get it. It's frightening.
I suppose I could respect it, but many survivors of suicide attempts decide not to repeat their attempts. IMO this suggests that some of them believe that they might be better off alive.
Watching McDavid or Crosby on the ice, live, makes it very clear that they are still absolutely in a class of their own. I think these types of players are so good that they change quicker than the game can adapt. Crosby had some trouble in his earlier years, but not anymore.

... only that in 2018, it's anything but $100k. New grads would scoff at that; they're easily clearing $200k if not more[1]

And I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. YC's stance is convenient since they have a vested interest in getting talent for your startup. I see it as more desperation in the face of the current reality that most people can comfortably earn for their future while working at a big co and then choose to move to a startup (in whatever capacity) further down the line once they're more "woke" so to speak.

Maybe in a magical world where everybody has a great job and plenty of money.

In the real world if an unsafe house exists there will always be someone who is desperate enough to live in it. The only way to stop it is to ban the house, not to rely on market forces.

That's why we have building regulations.

I mean this is obvious really. Suppose there's a house that is cheap and huge and in an amazing location but its wiring isn't up to code and the stairs are steeper than building regs allow. Do you really think nobody would rent it?
While I feel this title is sensationalized and a little too over your face, like come on you guys all know it is NOT easy to get a facebook job, it is well paid and definitely can have a lots of challenging fun and had a offer from Facebook and at the same the determination/confidence to reject it, IMO, is a privilege not that many people in the world have, I do sympathize with the fact to have a long term career within certain company, you have to align your mission with the company's, otherwise it will eventually leads to suffering. Facebook has now its own identity crisis, a lost cause from within. It needs to rediscover or reinvent its vision, if not successfully done, such loss of great minds will definitely continue.
So, were the critics connected to Open Society Foundation on any other Soros controlled organisation?

Also, describing him as a philanthropist and not mentioning his shady businesses like causing "Black Wednesday" or what he did to Thailand is... curious.

And the fact he's Jewish doesn't make looking into his actions racist.
But if the time needed to test and deploy a change is so ludicrous, it seems like you'd rarely get a big-enough window to rerun your tests before the upstream changes again. Either people are merging in unstable code, or the release lifecycle is a slow byzantine nightmare too (probably the case here).
I feel your pain. Did the exact same thing to myself before enrolling two u2f keys. I turned that off after switching to hardware keys and printing out the back up codes.

I graduated six years ago, have worked at Microsoft and Dropbox, and anecdotally around a quarter of my friends at either of them wouldn't work at Facebook now. Parent comment is not obviously wrong, and you shouldn't assume bad faith.

Of course they're not going to be hurting for job offers, in general. The issue is that hiring teams at high-performing, stressed-out early stage startups (including many that are doing important work that will change people's lives for the better) can be ridiculously petty and catty in the hiring process -- especially when they're looking at 10+ qualified candidates for every new hire.

Regardless of how well these students are set up for life in general, it would still suck for them if they lost out on a great career opportunity because the people guarding the door for that opportunity, on the day that they reviewed that candidate, decided to be douchily dismissive of the fact that said candidate decided to provide overeager quotes for a NYT article back when they were a college student.

Interesting Idea: Find the smart kids that were up against massive cheating.

A local HS near me had a HUGE cheating scandal. It ended up on the front page of the local Big-City paper and some episodes of Dr. Phil. The story, as I heard it, was that the kids made a wiki for their classwork and tests. It worked ok the first year. But in the second year, all the kids found out that none of the teachers ever changed a single question on a test or HW. Hence, all the answers were already in a wiki, ready to be applied. This went on for a few years before they were found out. I think there were about 300 kids in the racket, but I'm not sure. HSs here are about 3k kids, so ~10% of the school.

I always wondered about the kids that were up against those cheater-kids. The smart ones that were trying to get into college (a huge motivator) yet were never clued into the cheating wiki. Likely, most of the smart kids just gave up in the face of near-perfection and massive cheating. But I imagine there were a fair few that kept on plugging away. I can't imagine what that did to their psyches, especially in those very formative years.

personal opinion alert: western society seems to preach that the inherent value of men is zero and all value comes from success and accomplishments whereas women are inherently valuable due to their ability to raise children. combine failure to meet the expectations levied upon them by society with a quaker/protestant belief system where all shortcomings boil down to "you didnt work hard enough" plus a culture where showing weakness or seeking help isn't believed to be a masculine trait and it becomes surprising that the discrepancy isn't greater.

Sounds like messing with the settings helped you. Of that you'd discourage other people from trying it.
The UI is much better than Google Sheets (Sheets is likely better for power users), multiple views (calendar, Kanban), attachments etc. You could also set relationships between tables, which as far as I know, you can't do in Sheets.

The number of rows allowed per table is too low for any data driven serious application - this explains why it is used by smaller companies and individuals. A non-tech person can set up a handful of tables and be up and running in minutes.

I am a fan, though I wish they allowed more rows per table.
Some companies care. Most don't. Unless a feature is used by double-digit percentage of users, it'll be axed. It's a sad reality of today, and no, I don't buy the arguments about saving development time, not when said by the same people who also say they want to deliver value to users (as opposed to extract value from them). Because somehow, feature cancellation always seems to touch the features that enable users to unbreak things or optimize their experience.
