You are ratifying my point, especially in your deleted comment. The rest of this response was originally for your deleted comment. I think it makes sense here as well:

A poorly funded school is a governmental/societal failing. As is the inability to afford basic necessities. It should simply never be that way. We produce enough food to feed c. 10bn people, yet parts of the world go hungry. We can cheaply disseminate education almost anywhere today, yet large portions of the world remain uneducated. In a country like India, these things can now be addressed, if only there was a plan and a sincere effort to execute that plan.

I did not mean to hurt you and I sincerely hope you escape/have escaped your hell, but more importantly, that you don't create hell for others once you do escape. Perhaps even try to alleviate the hell of others when you are able to do so.

My point is, given the resources we have, life doesn't need to be hell. It can be good, if we manage things properly.

How to Create an Authentic Resume
That and the endless barage of stores about antiheroes and thugs we are supposed to sympathize with. It seems we can't get enough of dystopias and fictional criminals because they are mirrors to our reality; dystopias unveil what's beneath the veneer of our society, and antiheroes represent the freedom people wish they had that they willingly traded for safety, which fictional bad guys disregard.

Yes, I am getting sick of it all not just for the quantity and repetition, but the fact that it seems people enjoy this shit without the sort of curiosity such stories should invoke. Most of it is gratuitous.
Elixir's IEx.pry/0 function, that opens a REPL at a particular point of execution, is probably the stdlib function I call the most while developing. In a compiled language, to boot.
It's for securities full stop I had thought...
This is amazing. I'd always thought of the SEC as an organization that was thoroughly corrupted by regulators with deep ties to Goldman Sachs. Their amazing work on not prosecuting Enron executives or countrywide loan officers led me to believe the SEC was a toothless organization.

It's amazing to see them exercise their power against brown people. Perhaps it's not skin tone based, and actually based on the finance industry's cut. Let this be a lesson to everyone.
Yes, but if we did that, the news would get confusing as we tried to sort out which "Grand King King of the Warrior Kings" they were talking about.

I'm not sure what you mean? Being naturally rich in resources is pretty much what makes you rich in the material sense. Other countries would kill/have killed for India's resources.

Not saying ad spend on branding is a very optimised area in general - but the prices of billboards / tv ads etc are sky high and have a much lower degree of targeting. There is an assumption that their prospective and current customers will take note of the fact that the celeb is using their particular product and this will influence a purchase or reduce churn to a rival brand. It may be an effective channel for them.

Bonkers when you take a step back. But logical given the context.

I interpreted the talk as the tool viewer was a proof-of-concept in order to advocate the benefits of using the nav and datafy protocols. I believe Stu is not claiming its particularly novel, but instead wants to inspire tool makers to use the protocols and make better tools, hence his mentioning of his curiosity of what the Clojurescript guys could make. I mean I had the idea of a data viewer with some partial implementation with no knowledge of GT, and another person in this thread has been working on a similar idea, the tool concept isn't that novel (based on the features you describe). On the other hand, Clojure being a dynamic language by default makes any open source dataviewer written in Clojure automatically "moldable". Further, because of the protocols, its easy to swap between different people's implementations of the viewers. Clojurescript in particular is at an advantage because of the vast web resources and Clojurescript can compile itself.

this completely ignores the massive progress made by india mostly in the last four years on the cleanliness drive, making toilets available to most households to prevent open defecation, electricity and internet link up to all villages, massive jump in mobile data consumption, doubling the road length laid per day, switching the poor from coal and wood stoves to gas, switching massively to led lights, huge push in solar power, connecting up the national electricity grid, hugely stepping up building airports and city metros, massive spread of banking and cards to all households, massive program of health insurance to 500 million people, massive reduction in corruption and wastage of gov funds by direct benefit transfer and subsidy programs, big jumps in ease of business rankings, huge reforms of the indirect tax system and removal of transport and logistics hindrances etc

Then an interesting question is IF the Facebook container stemmed from principles 4 & 5 from the Mozilla Manifesto applied to the dominant social utility; is there a reason other than money that the same principles would not lead to a decision to build an add-on that gives people an option to contain Google? It's certainly not a technical limitation.

It seems natural to posit that money is the issue but is it so easy to believe that a foundation most of us trust would compromise its core values?

As mentioned elsewhere hacky add-ons cannot be the end solution, and will not be widely adopted unless incorporated as defaults.
Kubernetes Backup to Git
It should be pretty obvious to anyone that's used both JIRA and it's competitors that it's a piece of shit. It's missing basic functionality that competitors have like live updates (I guess I'll just telepathically guess when my teammates have made an update and hit F5), it's got basic UX problems that everyone else seems to have solved just fine (opening outbound links in a new tab etc), and their new redesign appears to have done fuck all to make any of it better.

I don't care how many features it's got for BAs/PMs to wank over. If the basic usability isn't there, the devs won't proactively participate, which means they'll either be forced to (incurring a big hit to morale), or they'll use other tools like Trello or physical boards to organise instead, and you end up with multiple sources of truth and synchronisation problems.

How it's ever become so popular is a mystery to me. I wouldn't inflict it on a team of my worst enemies.
If you use the shorthand "tradable financial instruments sold in anticipation of appreciation or money returns" you won't be far off.

The law in the US makes a sort of essential determination that no reasonable person stakes their livelihood on the appreciation of a pair of exclusive sneakers, which is why Instagram "influencers" aren't generally on shaky legal ground.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. In a sense, I'm agreeing with you.

Passion is a luxury in India, yes, but because of the way society has been set up. We need to change things so as to nurture the passions of our people, rather than have them scrambling for basic necessities. I believe we have all the ingredients to make it happen, but seem to lack the will or a plan.
It's annoying how the media continues to perpetuate their shit by parroting the labels as if they meant something.

Thinking about it further newspapers have always printed daily horoscopes, so obviously there's money to be made pandering to peoples self identity.
The market is basically valuing Apple using the old Hardware Company matrix. Unit Sold, Profit Earn Per Year. An equation used for when you are selling commodity like Fridge, TV etc. And because consumer can always switch into another brand in their next purchase, it has a Low P/E.

But in reality the Apple has a software ecosystem lock in, most consumers don't want to leave the iOS. And most are willing to pay for not having them worry about their next upgrade move. Now by this point someone would say Google Photo, Dropbox etc and your data is etc etc. Most consumers, 95%+ of them aren't geeks. They don't know what is Google Photo, they never heard of Dropbox.

Apple stock Price doesn't even account for the Asset Apple has, its brand value, its Cash. And I have been saying for years, if it wasn't a ridicously large amount of money, Apple would have been an instant take over target.

I really wish / think Apple should start their iPhone Subscription Services Worldwide. Allow contract with 24, 36 , 48 months of payments with AppleCare+ and iCloud within the period. Your iPhone repair will at least be affordable by default, along with free Battery Swap during your Subscription period. iCloud will protect you from Data loss, along with options such as Apple Music, Apple TV etc. You are allowed one free upgrade during your subscription period which will reset your cycle again. This way, most users are simply paying a monthly price and stick to an Apple devices for effectively forever.

The great thing about this is it would be very hard for its Android competitor to copy. Most smaller players need the immediate cash flow, Android users also enjoy being able to switch between manufacturer. And if they do, the monthly difference between an Apple and theirs will be small in numbers in monthly cost they might actually decide to go with Apple.
It is a trade-able asset. Unlike a product, you expect a trade-able asset to increase in price (that's why you buy it).
Maybe it's based on the fact they promoted ICOs to consumers without disclosing they were given tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so.
> my opinion this should be left to private muslim groups who might be interested in its preservation

What does it say about a country when a large number of its people don't want to maintain its most famous monument because it happens to have been built by a king of the minority religion?

What about other monuments - should the maintenance of India Gate be left to private Christian groups?

> hindus found out its history which was suppressed by marxists and are not likely to keep paying for it

What was this history? I hope you are not referring to something like https://www.booksfact.com/archeology/taj-mahal-original-name... a theory being pushed by charlatan historians, and eagerly lapped up by internet hindus who suffer from a deep insecurity that India's most famous monument happens to be a "Muslim" monument.
Really? vomit-inducing monstrosity? why why why?

That's what the whole post is about: why. There's plenty of room for critical opinions, but at least address the started rationale.

Ask HN: Telsa Powerwall a Good Investment?
I'm trying to determine if investing in a couple of Tesla Powerwall units to store solar energy is a wise financial decision.

My energy cost is $0.1649/kWh. The installed price of the two Powerwall units is $15k. I expect fully charge and discharge the Powerwall 300 days per year (based on historical average sunshine hours per month) and use 24kWh each night.

Based on these assumptions I calculate that: 300 days x 24 kWh x $0.1649 = $1187.28 per year so (15000/1187.28 =) 13 Years "pay back period".

The Warranty on the product is 10 Years and the useful life is claimed to be 15 years. However many people claim that the performance (storage capacity) will degrade down to 70% of original capacity after 10 years so this calculation should factor that in too ...

Is it economical to buy a Tesla Powerwall or simply pay "the grid" (our major energy supplier) for (renewable) power at night?

Are you a Powerwall owner? Have you done a similar calculation? What is the conclusion? #discuss!

Note: I'm a huge fan of what Elon is doing and have much love for Tesla as a company,
but I want to know from a purely economic perspective, does it make sense to invest in a Powerwall?

For reference I've expanded on this calculation and included all the supporting research and references in: https://github.com/dwyl/home/issues/25
It's the same principle as programmers who want to build a 16 layer microservice vortex using alpha-version frameworks when the product is a simple CRUD form. Let's call these people "architecture astronauts".

In the same way, some designers want to sculpt an ultra-minimalist flat typographic fantasyland with no user cues when the product is a straightforward ecommerce shopfront. Let's call these people "design wankers".

Fortunately, split testing can prove that the "wankers" are wrong. This makes them write angry blog posts about how testing is bullshit and Steve Jobs and skeuomorphism and building a better horse.

Can someone now please solve the "astronaut" problem for me?

It is easy to moralize when you don't know where the shoe bites. It might look decent to you from the outside but even decently paid struggle to keep up because of the following factors:

1. India does not have a social safety net so every man or family is for themselves. This just forces people to give first priority to accumulation of money.

2. Even a decent life style in India is not affordable unless you are a business which is either insanely profitable or knows how to hide profits. Even the top bracket earners can't afford decent life style unless they are willing to live hand to mouth or on credit.

3. Suburbs and small cities are so under developed that you can't live there unless you have made a decision to compromise your Children future.

Fun fact: My salary is in top 10-20% range of what you can get in India but the moment I step into India my savings rate drop to almost close to zero due to following factors:

Taxes: You salary is taxed at 35% effectively. This is money you are paying with no returns to be seen. Remember there is no social safety net. If you are saving for modest future via Employee provident fund, your in-hand income drops to 50% of the stated salary.

Rent or Mortgage: Unless you were lucky or have an ancestral property in the right place, you will be paying a decent chunk of your income to rent seekers who will push for a 10% increases Y-o-Y unless you are willing to move bases every 11 months. With Kids going to school, it's not easy to switch every year. You can save this money only when you are willing to put up in shady neighborhood or travel from out skirts for 2-3 hours each side.

Schools & Education: There are only a few good state run Schools so putting kids into Private Schools (which are ironically called Public School) is the only option. This costs significant chunk of your remaining income.

Transportation: You have to buy a car to get anywhere as public transport is overcrowded and not very comfortable especially for Children and elderly. Even then you don't save much as travel from your home to these public transport will still cost you decent money as you just can't walk to public transport.

Greg Egan is pretty upbeat too.
It's worked pretty well for go.

I'm a relative expert in some domains, but I just find the fancy languages tiresome. I even find so called experts who find it condescending to use a straightforward language tiresome. Seriously - these so called experts never actually deliver any actual product. They just loop around writing line noise that is unreadable.

If you code with others, look into the idea of write-only languages. I think you'll find some of the ideas behind go make some more sense if you understand what they are working to avoid.

I don't hate generics, but don't think they are critical to go's success.

It serves different purpose. These Facebook/Google containers are for automatic isolation. The Multi-Account Containers is for creating and managing containers.
Exactly. In theory, if the investors can get equity they want at a discount, and employees can get long-awaited cash they want — even not at "full price", because who knows what or when that might be - then everybody wins.
If there was such a need, the languages without them would still have a major market, which isn't the case.

Naturally those of us coding since the early days have experience with programming languages without generics support, yet a large majority eventually adopted generics.

Even C has minimal generics support since C11.
I think the minimum wage laws apply to all restaurants. So prices just go up.
The basis of fraud is not promoting something. It's deceiving someone. Not all promotion is fraudulent.

That being said, this particular regulatory disclosure requirement can arguably be considered a prohibition on a form of fraud, on the basis that all paid endorsements where the payment is not disclosed to the target audience are misleading the audience about the endorser's level of genuine interest in the product, and failing to disclose a materially significant fact about the endorsement that a reasonable audience would expect to be disclosed.

I'm not sure if a statutory rule is the best way to address this though. Its rigidity and one-size-fits-all approach may catch a lot of non-fraudulent actions in its net, and avoiding that should be the first priority of the justice system. Common law would better account for the peculiarities of each case and how they weigh into the question of whether an action is fraudulent.
> I was even invited to share my work directly with Regina Dugan, the director of ATAP at that time! I was excited, thinking perhaps I would be invited for a summer internship. It turned out they found my work so relevant that they offered me a job on the spot.

> It was a tough choice: I had just started the first year of my PhD and would’ve had to take a leave from the program to pursue this project. After asking many people, the advice was clear: stay in school. So I decided to turn down the offer and continue pursuing my PhD.

...this sounds like terrible advice? I have to wonder whether any of the "many people" consulted weren't professors.
