It goes back millions of years with territorial animals but hopefully we are gradually getting over it with the odd glitch like Brexit en route.
I looked around at other sites doing the same sort of thing and decided that asking a few canned questions and spitting back a list of cities wasn't really a good approach. I had already done a lot of research and created a short list of potential cities for myself. Trying out these sites mostly failed to get me a list that made any sense to me. So I wasn't impressed with that approach.

I decided it would need to be a consultancy doing custom research. I don't really know how to make that happen and it seems like there may not be a market for that. Or, if there is, it wasn't a market a homeless woman was going to be able to sell to. No one was going to hire me to do that kind of research so I could improve my income and get off the street.

I've seen people post questions to various forums, similar to this Ask HN but more focused. And there's lots of free info on the internet already via sites like City Data and Best Places.

But when I asked around about how people make such decisions, part of the feedback I got was that deciding where to move was an alien concept. Only super rich people think like that. Most people live where they were born or go where the job takes them or similar. They don't pick some personal best place for their personal best life.

I was homeless at the time and trying to decide where to move to try to get back into housing. It never occurred to me that only very, very privileged people ever wondered where they might prefer to live. I was dirt poor. I didn't see myself as very, very privileged. But that's part of the feedback I got.

Free or very cheap info on the topic is very popular. You see a lot of articles with lists of "best cities to retire" or "best cities for young families." But it's very generic, really, and I'm not aware of any pricier custom solutions for the space.

I never figured out what the next steps might be. I asked a couple of people from HN for feedback. One replied and the other never answered me. I don't have experience doing something like that and I don't have good connections and couldn't get enough feedback to figure out where to go next with the idea.

I think I eventually took the website off the internet and stopped bothering.

It's potentially something someone else could maybe tweak and run with, someone who knows how to set up a consultalncy or has the right connections where they could get good feedback. That doesn't happen to be me.

Oh, also, if you google terms like "personal relocation," you mostly get moving companies, not services helping you decide where to move. The assumption is you already know where you are going and you need help making it happen. The idea that you would pick a dream location seems to not really exist, in spite of the popularity of questions like this one in forums and "best places" type books and articles.

That seems quite silly to me. That wastes a bunch of TDP and likely loses some Turbo.
"The scroll lock light comes on when you press the Scroll

"The System (Sys) key has its functions defined in your

Heh, it's like it's written by my co-workers that simply can't do anything user friendly but like to make totally redundant "documentation." E.g.:

"The option --result-dir specifies the result directory"

"The function int getSize( int frob ) returns the size of the frob. The parameter is frob." (God forbid they inform you what the allowable range of input or output is, in which units they measure the size or what the frob in their program means or what is actually measured or counted, and they never include an example of using anything)."

The only thing that I could imagine approaching a "complete" solution would be to have a dedicated secretary who manually writes comprehensive summaries every few days.

Since that's not going to happen, I don't see any better solutions than yours.
The message of this article (and the rest of the site) seems to be: Things you do will have unintended consequences; you cannot predict these consequences; they will be bad; therefore you shouldn't do anything.

This is a terrible position to take. The unintended bad consequences described, in this post and in the other posts on the site, are all reasonably predictable to anyone knowledgeable who's making a serious effort. And sometimes projects don't have unintended bad consequences, or the unintended bad consequences are worth it, or they would be manageable if only someone bothered to predict them.
Ummm but if you want people to trust you with their money and build reputation shouldn't you do your DD and make sure what you say is true? imo RH is either reckless or deceptive, and neither is a good look for a company like them
The article mentions Steve McConnel's advice on parameter lists (from his great book "Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction"), but left out some interesting commentary on function length from the same book:

Some studies of code quality from the 1980s reported that defects per KLOC was inversely correlated with function length, leveling off around 200–400 LOC per function. Software composed of many tiny functions is more difficult to understand because there is more context "off screen" to keep in your head.

A Cisco study of code reviews found that 200–400 LOC is the limit of how many LOC can be effectively reviewed per hour. Applying the findings of these studies suggests that neither functions nor patches/pull-request diffs should not exceed 200 LOC. FWIW, I have worked on commercial software that had functions many thousands of lines long! :)

The hidden benefit might be that, with the existence of nested subthreads, many of those comments could be obviated, since it's easier to see which concerns have already been raised and which questions have already been asked/answered.
Often times the websites are completely broken under reader mode: images are in the wrong locations, image captions are treated as article text, article text doesn't appear on websites that have awful scrolling behaviour.

I completely understand why people have problems with AMP. However, AMP is a drop-in replacement (for the user) and Firefox's reader mode is simply not equivalent, as much as I use it.
That's not the really same thing I was talking about high paid and high status jobs that almost universally recruit liberal arts grads "like them" from certain universities.

I think the trick is to go to google.com with Desktop Mode (iOS: share page from Mobile Safari then scroll bottom icons left, I think).

That:

(A) gets Google to return desktop links (rather than cruddy mobile links)

(B) gets the site to show the desktop version rather than the cruddy mobile site.

It is more obvious how to do it on Android (google.com in Desktop Mode), but I do it on the iPad at work when needed.

Intermediate goods are explicitly excluded from GDP calculations and resale of finished products only increases GDP by the value added amount. In your scenario GDP would be $2.

Regardless, GDP can be calculated by summing all income across all sources. It represents a nationwide increase of wealth. The gap between wage per worker and GDP per worker indicates that, despite labor being the only source of wealth generation, labor only receives a fraction of its productive efforts back as wages. I like it because illustrates the gap between capital and labor, as an alternative to the more traditional income inequality between workers.
Rhetorical question: were you a licensed CPP, CPA or an actuary when you were a temp in your secondary education unit? That's literally my point.

Yes, these things can all be done by amateurs. By tinkerers. We all here know it. We've done it. You've done it. Simple devices with telemetry and some logic. Simple programs that do complex things in the aggregate. Take it to your back yard, and either one of us or a highschool student could make a traffic light cheaper than $250,000 - $500,000 per intersection (WA state estimate). But neither one of us could build, install and maintain a quarter million of them, and I think you'd be hard-pressed to mobilize an army of nerds to make it scalable.

Yeah, for all we know a PE was involved in oversight of the project. That's an unknown that TV reporters didn't dig into and should have, because I think the story would discover a much more relaxed time.

But if one wasn't involved, I'm saying it took faith on behalf of the administration to assume responsibility for risk in backing this project, whether consciously considered or not. And there are risks with electrical projects beyond the computers, namely things catching on fire. What were the safeguards here? What if a logic error burned out a fan? What if someone hesitated to use the radios during a regular comm window out of habit and there was a medical emergency?

Faith here was well-founded because obviously nothing burned down and no one died. But who today would accept that risk without going to a licensed professional?

> look and feel like shit"

Well, but you see, there really are old people who (despite becoming frail and suffering pain) do not feel like shit.

Sure, there are many comforting lullabies offering a false hope (particularly religious ones), but this one doesn't strike me as one of those. (Remember that Russell was a staunch atheist, and did not tend to subscribe to false comforting beliefs.)

Just the opposite, it offers concrete advice, and embeds the process of getting older in a larger picture offering (secular) meaning.
backuppc works really well, the drawback is that it is kind of slow if you have lots (millions) of files.
The contents kind of evolved from everything I had taught in undergraduate number theory, and a few other courses (a 2-week course for high-school students, some work with K-12 teachers, etc.). First, I wanted to cover the core topics of an elementary number theory course: Euclidean algorithm, prime decomposition, multiplicative functions, modular arithmetic, quadratic reciprocity.

Add to that Gaussian/Eisenstein integers, because they're pretty, open the door to algebraic number fields, and might help the reader understand that uniqueness of prime decomposition is not obvious.

Add to that mediant fractions and Ford circles, because they give a really nice perspective on Diophantine approximation (the only approach which really stuck with me). They're also good for future K-12 teachers to better understand fractions.

For quadratic reciprocity, I like teaching with Zolotarev's proof... so add that. (I think I'll give a more traditional proof, in an extra few pages, in a future edition.)

Finally, Conway's topographs give a beautiful approach to binary quadratic forms, which are often not taught in a first course (outside of Pell's equation). Learning and teaching Conway's approach has influenced my own research, and it's beautiful and visual. That's the last part of the book.
'Wasting money' or just 'paying a premium for the convenience'.
I don't have any numbers, but I twice saw refugees "caught" at Malmö Hyllie station; the first station in Sweden and the official customs point for people arriving by train from Denmark.

I only go to Malmö every 2-3 months, so at least for a while it may have been reasonable, given the aim of discovering refugees before they settle illegally somewhere.
Not sure why you were downvoted for this, as you are absolutely correct. One of my "dreams" before becoming a software developer was to work in "finance", i.e. investment banking, and that industry specifically prefers Ivy League education, which typically means liberal arts.

That technicality, however, is a fine point in a much larger discussion, and I wasn't going to bring it up for the purpose of this post. I imagine the type of jobs you are talking about, "high-status, high-paying" would place a, for example, state-school Electrical Engineering graduate with good grades higher than a state-school liberal arts graduate. But they will usually rank a Harvard, etc. graduate with a liberal arts degree even higher than the EE graduate. Just my read on how that works. An English degree from <Insert State School> is not perceived the same as an English degree from Oxford or Cambridge.

Because they take on the risk and burden of carrying a company with 1,000’s of employees and a similar number of shareholders. It’s incredibly stressful whether successful or not.

Do the majority of Americans deserve a raise in the first place? I think a bit of humility might be a good thing to help us rethink our materialistic impulses and desires. This is coming from someone who asked for one, but didn’t receive a raise this year.
The expenditure is there but if you look into the spending you'll find corruption and adminstrative pay is bleeding the system dry. You have school systems where the adminstrative staff keeps getting pay raises while taxe income and teacher pay doesn't grow.

You also have school systems like mine where they blew the budget on building a new school that the contractor built fraudently(stuff like the radiators in classrooms being just covers with no actual radiator underneath). It just so happens that the contractor who built the school is friends/family with members of the school board so I guess it's no paper for homework that year and the contractor doesn't get sued.

We let far too much of our school system just be raided by private interests which is how you see us spend more money than similar countries, while barely able to run some schools
Exactly the same here with my 4 nephews (into minecraft, distracted by breath of the wild for a bit, then back to minecraft) with one exception: they're also into all things lego.

My niece, which is the same age as two of the nephews, is far more into her dolls than video games. Although, she does like the occasional game of mario kart or kirby and the rainbow curse.

The point is that the English page is basically not even part of the same encyclopedia. It lacks the level of detail and might as well just be an inferior search result to some other website that you would have skipped

deliberate tradeoff. it is better to waste electricity, and to ensure your deadlines are met than for some to be late and some to be early.

How can you downvote a reply?
Yes, if you are good enough, you do not need a college degree.

Good enough is somewhere between the skills of a skilled college graduate and someone like George Hotz, the hacker who jail broke the iPhone and read the latest AI/ML papers to start his own self-driving car project.

For the rest of us, an engineering college degree signals that we made it through the accreditation gauntlet.

The professional organizations control the accreditation. Medical school enrollment is strictly limited by the number of residency spots which are funded by the US government. The AMA controls the former, as it could easily expand the supply to lower the direct costs.

An argument can be made that a MIT ChemE degree is more difficult to obtain than one from Cal State Poly. However, as long as each school is accredited by ABET, there is a baseline level of knowledge that each graduate of the ChemE program in any ABET-accredited school should obtain.

Software engineering is a term I personally hate, as there is no way to engineer software like a bridge. No standards, no stable technology.

a much better argument would be to imagine a scenario in which the total profit was divided amongst the workers and show that despite exploitation via low wages being the source of huge corporate profits, it still wouldn’t be nearly enough to lift the employees into the middle class.

Newton, Einstein, & Feynman are also dead. All three of these scientists were connected to the upper echelons of society, had enormous cultural influence, & designed their models based on a philosophy. I think you are referring to lower level scientists who have to fit within the hegemonic framework. Same thing happens in programming (e.g. corporations want React developers instead of developers who can develop the most innovative & profitable idea).

Scientists used to be natural philosophers. Rigorous philosophical discussion has been slowly removed from the sciences in favor of consensus & presenting a unified political front. Pragmatics & predetermined social agendas has taken over.

The synical side of me says: "this is by design. Science coopted to become a tool of propaganda."

Giving the practitioners of Science the benefit of the doubt: "science is not practiced in a cultural vacuum. We build models based on our common understanding & interpret results based on our models."
I misunderstood you in the same way as hlandau. Perhaps you could explain what you meant in different words? A concrete example might help.
Large coal plants are more efficient than internal combustion; electric drivetrains are more efficient than gasoline or diesel.

Slow, frequently stopped vehicles like buses derive the maximum benefit from electrification.

And their emissions improve automatically as the grid improves. You could easily schedule bus recharging to occur during maximum solar electricity generation times, as it falls between morning and evening peak times. Each bus in the fleet just needs one hour downtime in the middle of the day to recharge; that’s only a 25% downtime ratio across a 4 to 5 hour window of opportunity.
There are two different questions here:

1. "Does an education really need to cost so much?"

2. "Do I really need an education?"

The answer to #1 I can't answer. I would be inclined to cut certain things like athletics and student perks, but university presidents are smart people and I don't pretend to be able to do their jobs of maximizing institutional reputation at minimum cost better than they can. A 3-year professional degree that eliminates all general educational requirements seems like a pretty damn obvious win though.

The answer to #2 is, I think, yes for most software engineers. Of course there are innumerable examples of brilliant people who become titans without a formal education, but you're making it awfully hard on yourself. I wrote code all through my teenage years before going to college and easily felt things out intuitively, but... let's just say that if there's a version of me out there who dropped out of college after 2 years, I hope I wouldn't hire him/me. And, barring winning the startup jackpot or pivoting to management, the difference in lifetime earnings between someone who really has their shit together and someone who's bringing up Wikipedia at work to try to remember how linked lists work is so wide that the price of a good state school education screams "worth it" to me.
Putin Wants to Control Rap as Its Popularity Rises in Russia
They literally are not taking on the risk if they get the high pay whether they succeed or lose.

The not being able to see your kids in the evening is one thing, but the high paid executives also get around that too. For instance Marissa Mayer having an office in the headquarters converted into a daycare for her child. Did her employees who were also on call(and forced to stop working remotely) get the opportunity to use company property for a daycare for their children?

My point is that these arguments about why it's worth it to pay executives these super high salaries no longer hold any water, because we've seen that they've rigged the game to be effectively riskless to them.

Only getting 80% of your expected payout when you run a company into the ground _and_ remove payouts to the other employees is not a risk to justify being paid 100s of times more than an average employee. It's just another case of making the risks public and the gains private
