Not completely true, many "model" part is shared with Chromium code (given the liberal license) while "view" part can be different.
It's a census, so they're taking a sample. I would assume that 75% of counties had statistical outcomes that weren't statistically significantly different from the previous measurement. Consider if you sample the same county on the same day 10 times, you'll get 10 different outcomes, that doesn't mean income changed that day.

In addition, they may have used a threshold value. But it's not noted anywhere.

I'd also assume indeed there was inflation-adjustment.

Can't you just run vanilla Chromium without the Google stuff on macOS?

Honest question, I don't think I ever looked, and now I am back on GNU/Linux.

On Windows, there is no build of vanilla Chromium, as far as I could find out. Then again, I did not try very hard, because I started using Firefox back when it was still called Firebird; the only incentive I had to check out Chromium on Linux were some web sites that did not work very well with Firefox (VPS console on Vultr, Netflix).

More to the point, Linux was going out of it's way to retread technology from the '70s. This is shown by the fact that it had ready-made userland in the form of GNU components that had been built to be Unix compatible.
Some constructive criticism: I think this document is written backwards and does not contain what CEO's are interested in. The disastrous effects should come first and preceding that should be forecasts of the effect on the bottom line (profits). The business implications of climate change are what might capture their attention. Market disruptions for example, trends in adoption of EV cars, growth in solar and wind, tech industry use of alternative energy, costs for pollution being added to government and other plans, current problems with changes in forests and their effects on industry, plans to deal with coastal changes. Changes in behavior from industry and government are more likely to sway them. They attempt to control those, but a list of existing trends that are outside their control could be persuasive.
They have hired scientists to confuse the issue, so they are not going to be swayed by a scientific argument. Leave that as an appendix for their subordinates to read.
It's unfortunate, but I think you have to speak their language.

Your link shows $20k / Family too :-) Look at the chart with the caption "Recent from HHS/CMS"

Chrome also frequently attempts to cover up incorrect code with what it thinks the author probably meant. Firefox tends to be much better than Chrome at following the actual spec.

I tend to develop primarily with Chrome first for some different reasons (ability to disable CORS, support for self-signed certs with WebSockets, and its better debugging of WS frames), but I always make sure to test later with Firefox and Safari, and occasionally find code that worked in Chrome, but doesn't elsewhere, and the reason is almost invariably always that Chrome didn't follow the spec.

> Does this mean that ~75% of counties had excatly zero change in median income? Like down to the cent?

Well, no, the ACS uses whole dollars as the indivisible unit for income stats. And it is estimated, not actual, with a reported (non-zero) margin of error for each figure in the source. E.g., here's the national median income table for 2017, by various characteristics:

DC and its VA suburbs also have a good tech talent pool as well. Probably doesn't pay as well as lobbyists, but it would still push the median up.

There are literally no 2 sides. There is a ~97% scientific consensus, then there are these people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_who_disagre....

John Christy (the other side in your video) represents the ~3%. His research was shown to be wrong over and over again. Most recently in 2017: https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JTECH-D-16-0121.... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97...

> TL;DR: you are incapable of separating minority views that tend to choose one party from the views of people in the party in general.

You must have not read enough of the article to see that the Neo-Nazi was polling second (first was the incumbent). Also, I didn't say the party in general was racist. I had a very simple thesis that you were mischaracterizing the social left!

> You provided links of some Republicans using racist rhetoric

See, you do understand my links - those are (some) Republicans using racist rhetoric. But why don't you get my thesis that "it's outrageous to say that people of the social-left are mad about social-right not talking about racism all the time"? It's very simple. The social-right does say racist things (NB: I'm not saying "everyone in the social-right does it") and clearly what social-left is mad about.

Your comment implied the social-left is mad about the social-right not talking about racism all the time, when really, it's because the social right says racist things (again, I never said "every social-right person does this").

> It's unlikely you would be convinced all Democrats are racists

I'd like to point out that I'm not a Democrat, nor am I defending Democrats. I'm pointing out that you're mischaracterizing the social-left big time when you say that what we care about is "everyone must think about racism all the time!" Also, I know tons democrats who make all kinds of racist remarks. I never said (nor do I think) that being a democrat == not being racist.

> What a Neo-Nazi running as a Republican says != "what Republicans say"

He's a Republican. Look up other Republicans and you'll see similar (although not always as inflammatory) racist quotes. I'm not saying "every Republican says racist things".
Me too - now that the Uber app has tipping I choose to tip a nominal amount ($2 usually each trip). But prior to them adding it I was happy to not tip at all, even if in the end the price point for the trip was $2 higher.

I'd prefer driver compensation to be worked out on Uber's end of things rather than being passed to the consumer. I know that's what tipping is - but I'm against payment structures that require tipping. I still tip because I don't want to put it on the driver/waiter/whatever, but I'd prefer for the price point to be higher and to not tip.
>In other words, people focus on attacking solutions as opposed to helping create better ones.

Because many of those policies are actively harmful and are worse than the status quo. You don't need to have a better solution to point out that implementing quotas results in more racism than having no quotas at all.

When it comes to approaches to diversity, many are significantly worse than nothing at all because they embolden divides by highlighting that fact that some people are different and are incapable without special provisions.

>That behavior is pervasive, insidious, counterproductive, and seems to be picking up steam.

They are only counterproductive if you are already convinced reverse discrimination is the answer to discrimination.
Lyft charged its riders more, and didn't have all kinds of crazy specials like "Pay $25 for ten rides" kinds of things.

My guess is that people who could pay more for Lyft did. I gave a lot of homeless people rides through Uber, but never through Lyft.

Crap... CTRL+F Nordic .... Whew! Seems like this is mainly in relation to the Ti CC26xx series. I'm using the Nordic right now and the only time it's mentioned here is the Over The Air update service.

For that that might not know, Ti the approach that some others (not Nordic) does where they give you an ARM Cortex M4 to put your code on and have another Cortex M0 that runs the ROM based BLE Stack. This drove me away from many of the Ti offerings because while you can't mess them up, the BLE Stack is typically not upgradable. With the launch of BLE 5 and it's mainly software upgrades it was important to us to have that ability. So here is an issue with the shared que between the two chips - I'm not sure if this will be patch-able all applications.

Ask HN: I want to build a games dev company, what do I need to know?
Bottom line: I don't think I want to work for someone else. I like telling stories and game development and I like teaching and conveying interesting information.

I understand that if I pursue this idea that I probably won't be making games in the long run; rather, I'll be wrangling the talent and pushing deadlines.

1) First, what is something I absolutely need to know? Something critical to the success of a game development company?

2) What are common mistakes that indie developers often make? (like feature shift, release delays, and broken hype: see No Man's Sky)

As far as the technical side goes, I know I should push an MVP, then iterate. I know play-ability is important (and, I think that its more important to good looks, at least at the start - you can't play test pretty and broken).

3) I thrive in low to no-management environments. And I'd like to find people who a) also thrive without granular management, b) love documentation almost as much as code, c) know what they are about, and d) are willing to talk to whoever they need to to get something done. How do I find people like that?

4) I'm not a huge fan of advertising revenue streams, but I still want to push games to mobile platforms. What are my other options? What about revenue streams for games in general (if I want a recurring revenue stream)?

5) Where can I find someone who knows about the game industry and is also willing to answer lots of questions (like this post)?

6) What questions should I have asked? What am I missing here?
You already do. If you refresh the page now, the much more nuanced positions and things have substance have risen to the top and crap has been flagged/downmodded away.
I just wanted to chime in to say that this is just terrible, terrible advice.

It's clear you're not speaking from experience.

One has to be incredibly careful with a windfall like this. $8m is not a whole lot - certainly nothing like what you're fantasizing. Behaviors like you're suggesting can be incredibly damaging and snowball fast.

This is why most people who obtain sudden windfalls (an extraordinarily high percentage) go broke within years.

> Your link shows $20k / Family too :-)

No, it shows < $20K, not > $20K as you claimed. But, the accuracy of the national average figure is mostly a side issue.

> The costs do vary, but they do not drop off the way median income does in rural areas.

The costs vary enough locally that you can't make anything like a reasonable point by comparing the national cost to local incomes (and, also, you need to consider the effect of subsidies, which are based on income in relation to FPL.) I suspect the reality, before subsidies, may be even worse than what your naive comparison would suggest, but I don't have a lot of confidence in that because I haven't seen, or had time to analyze, national locality data. The bits and pieces I've seen, though, seem to suggest that, while there isn't a simple relationship, local health insurance costs may overall be weakly inversely correlated with local income. But, then you still have to consider subsidy availability—and Medicaid eligibility—to get the real picture.
Firefox is getting a native ARM64 version for Snapdragon PCs
It's a win because the company will have an actual policy in place, compared to burying heads in sand and discouraging people from reporting "unpleasantness".

> So far it just seems like a way for a company to cover their ass via a PR stunt that disrupts a bunch of employees' days.

Quick question - do you feel the same about sexual harassment training? I think it's good for every employee to be clear on the common baseline on what behavior the company deems unacceptable and the consequences thereof.

Let's detach this from racism for a moment, and hypothesize on ethics. A number of companies have/had issues with staff members virtually stalking users. Would you rather colleagues not report such incidents for fear of creating legal liability? Should the companies not have a policy against this and offer training on ethical handling of user data? No amount of company training will cure an engineer's creepiness, but drawing lines in the sand is important - it might prevent creepy behavior while they are on the clock - even if it may look like its CYA.
I had the opposite thought when I used it for the first time.

Even when reading the article I thought about it :)
I agree with the first two, but does VS Code really solve different problems than Atom?

It's not really possible to make a direct comparison because Uber's rates (at least in my market) are a game.

Uber has all kinds of crazy promotions, like paying a flat $6 per ride for a whole month, or paying $25 up front for ten rides, no matter how long they are. Of course, there's also surge pricing that everyone knows about.

The worst is that Uber charges passengers more if they're traveling to or from "rich" ZIP Codes. In theory, Uber is doing this because we were supposedly carrying rich people around who could afford it. But more often than not, we were transporting low-wage maids and other service people from one job mucking out toilets to another. So Uber was actually hurting the people who could least afford to pay more.

I'm so glad to not be associated with Uber anymore.

If you both work, find a reliable nanny. I was naive and thought I could watch the baby while working. That lasted a day.

When the baby is about a year old, you're going to want to guard any valuables, including work equipment, with a tall fence or closed door. Babies love to use what they see mommy and daddy using, and they are not gentle.

Don't be afraid to take a healthy amount of paternity leave if possible.

This post also fails to take into account people's exposure to fiction. My vocabulary may be limited, but many of my passphrases use nouns/concepts/slang that are drawn from video games, novels, movies, etc. Some of these works (authored by family, friends, and myself) aren't even published. I reckon the chance of these "words" being included in some cracker's dictionary is quite close to zero.

Also as you point out their analysis of the entropy of random words is quite uncharitable. It fails to account for any sort of punctuation, capitalization, etc. Is my password "correct horse battery staple" or "correct Horse, battery staple!" or "CORRECT HORSE! Battery staple.", etc. There is a lot of entropy inherent in crafting a phrase.
