On the flip side, most people underestimate the knowledge and training required to do any work at all safely. Not 1 in 10 men I've seen climbing a ladder have done so in a safe manner.

If someone has not done a procedure before, I don't trust them regardless of their qualification. If they have done a procedure 100 times, I trust them unless their track record is terrible.

I certainly don't think the government needs to enforce these standards the way they do, occupational licensing is not the answer. Information and voluntary schemes would be a lot cheaper, and probably lead to similar quality.
Well at that point I'm guessing you buy a few $25 backup phones that you leave turned off in your bag. Also in that cash free society, which will probably not have phone numbers anymore, adding a few more phones that you never use will probably be free or $1/month.

Or maybe cell phone networks will turn into something equivalent to wifi, that you could pick and choose from a software menu.
Well, you know, I think we all remember the tune of the alphabet song, that one that ends with "...now I know my ABC's, next won't you sing with me?"

And so, what the author exposes here, is a methodology for even more powerful mnemonics, that permit storing a structured value even larger than a 26 letter case-insensitive, ordered set.

So perhaps that's the game we're playing, yes? Memory palaces [0] perhaps? Why not?

...or we can just leave you out of our reindeer games, next time. How about that?

What do you mean, “refund”? Is there a way to request a refund for an app you bought? AFAIK there’s no way to “trial” an app...
Spare me the lecture, I pointed out the finding of unconstitutionality before you did.
What Apple adds is non-zero. As the parent comment points out, Apple offers discovery, billing, and distribution. The App Store is a single (theoretically trusted) place for iOS users to search for apps.

Let's not forget that, at least in theory, Apple curates the App Store. Neither Chrome nor AT&T does that in any substantial way.

Furthermore, Apple's business model is different from Google/Android's. Android can be a loss-leader as long as it draws users to revenue-generating Google services. Last I checked, iOS was one of Apple's primary sources of revenue. In principle (if not practice) Apple's model is based on offering a privacy and security-centric platform. For the privilege of accessing it, you pay developer subscription fees and give Apple a cut of the money you make through your app.

I think it's totally valid to argue what Apple offers is not worth the 15-30% cut. Either way, though, Apple is adding more than zero value.
You still have to download it all, though. Right?
Economically, the "cost of property" is a kind of rent (okay, mostly rent - you can subtract the actual cost of physically building the structure. But most of what you're paying is the pure rent of land.) It is this rent that decreases when the demand for being in a particular place falls.
"Hi, I'm Clippy! I noticed you used a lot of negative and absolute words in your paper, here are some recommended psychiatrists near you... "
I'd consider it a tax. You can't support billing in your app for digital services unless you're willing to pay that a percentage of your revenue. So the workaround is to push people to the safari app to enter in their credit card info.
Wow, it's just like cycling in certain regions of the U.S.! At least the people being attacked have the luxury of being in a steel cage when it happens.

Of course not. That's fraud and already illegal.
Consulting and “product engineering” are very different in the culture they require to be successful. From your description it sounds your culture is consulting heavy.

Read the books by Rands to understand the difference. And his blog posts about engineer personalities and group dynamics.

Aluminum is only ~2,300$ per metric ton, so the raw material cost is not that much of an issue. It’s material property’s is actually a significant issue as the cars vibration for example would likely cause cracks to form and propagate.

PS: Ford is moving the F150 to aluminum adding ~500$ per vehicle but also saving weight. Which should net to zero via added fuel economy.

When your old a decrease in physical activity can be very bad for your overall health.

Many people live into old age being very active for their age, suffer some minor injury that leaves them bedridden simply because of age then their health declines and they die shortly thereafter. Ask anyone who works in a nursing home and they'll have plenty of stories of 90yr old ladies who were walking a mile a day until they fell and then wound up in the nursing home and died there.

Sounds like the person you're replying to's father got hip surgery right after retiring. I wouldn'd be surprised if the recovery was what killed him.
Let’s encrypt is one of the best things to happen to the web recently. Great stats.

A focused non-profit attacking a real problem can be extremely effective. I hope the rich tech people on HN strongly consider building or donating significant amounts to tech non-profits and open source. Certainly this is more impactful than another advertising network investment.
Apple policies explicitly forbid this. While you can use subscriptions from on the website, the app cannot in any way suggest that you do that, nor can it link to a page that directly (one click away) lets you do it.
It's just an informal term, used in the US (and likely elsewhere) to refers to a fee that is a regularly recurring % of a sale amount. The idea is that in this sense, the fee is similar to a sales tax.

The word "ecstasy" means overwhelming joy, but also means you are frenzied and out of control.
Absolutely! Most distributed battery storage (Stem, Advanced Microgrid, etc.) and building energy management companies (Carbon Lighthouse, Siemens, etc.) have software divisions that focus on data analysis tools for their customers (think energy dashboards and reports). Also, most grid operators (CAISO, etc.), utilities (PG&E, etc.), and utility vendors (AutoGrid, etc.) have data analysis divisions that focus on figuring out how we can keep the grid running while ramping up renewables. Finally, regulators (Dept of Energy, public utility commissions, city managers, etc.) are in desperate need of data science talent to help them understand all this new energy advancements that are going on (often at policy hearings utilities are saying one technical thing, distributed energy companies are saying another technical thing, and the panel of regulators have no idea what the technical implications of all this back-and-forth is).

Hope that helps! Maybe you can try searching typical software job boards (Indeed, etc.) for your language of choice + keywords (clean energy, solar, renewables, smart grid, climate change, etc.).
OK, I went to all the trouble of getting a free trial to NYT to read the article.

There's nothing there that changes my opinion.
Just like drivers on the roads, the only way to police the internet is to license those who use it..

for instance a government issued access ID as the only way to access to the the internet...

but could this even work?
Even worse, people who never mention they're doctors can cause harm by saying vaccinations cause autism. It doesn't mean it should be illegal.

Due process can cause some predators to roam free, or cost taxpayers and victims expense to the benefit of evil people.

This argument that something should be illegal because it can cause harm is really shallow.
I completely agree with your first point. We don't really have reports of people shouting with each other outside of engineering, and that's why people don't really know what to about that.

> Can you be a bit more specific?

Testy is a good adjective for them. One of the worst contained profanities, but was sent using personal e-mail accounts (but it was sent from work and was about work).

There were some company-wide e-mails with thinly veiled criticism and passive-aggressive remarks regarding the (bad) work of other engineerings teams. People pointing fingers and trying to assign blame.
The problem is that there are a small, specialized clique of Engineers who have professional certification, and a huge population of engineers who don't have this certification and are not required to have it. The boundary between the two groups is fuzzy and a bit contentious, with each side seeking to expand their domain.

There's no such confusion when it comes to the other professions listed, no huge gray area where everyone calls you a physician even though you only work with animals: those are veterinarians.

2 of 68 in my graduating class of BSE students took the PE exam. I think almost all of us now have business cards which include the word 'engineer'. That's not a gopd position from which some outsiders can selectively declare that the term is protected.

My experience has been that anyone who claims 'engineer' is protected is selling something, or at least trying to protect the value of the scheme they bought into. There are a couple jobs that legitimately need it where the regulatory environment requires, but they know who they are and know they are rare.
Not having to deal with separate payment accounts is a huge value add at least for some consumers. I bought HBO to watch Westworld season 2 on Google play. If it wasn't that easy I would have made the effort to find someone's account - still easier than an account and payment workflow.

HBO made at least.7x$40 from me.
Sure. Still shouldn't be illegal. There's plenty of TV stations that make a living giving bad, wrong or plainly malicious advice(can think of quite a few) and it's not illegal.
Good, now if we could only download apps without being on the App Store.

Sure, continue the tax for those using it for promotion purposes, but abolish the requirement to use it all together.
One must not implicitly attribute such things to context either, when there is not enough text to say so. Are all the reasons for being upset justifiable? Safety reasons probably are. Are Luddite reasons justifiable as well?
I know that one can write custom pretty-printers for debuggers. But I like having the pretty-printers in the program itself. After all, I develop simultaneously on many diverse platforms.
You need technical leadership. Pay a lot for someone with a proven track record and let them handle it.
> What the engineers believe management thinks is relevant. Your last sentence seems to prove a point here.

Yep, you have a point.

And you're absolutely right: I shouldn't have even considered that suggestion, even though I'm not their manager, or even though I'm anonymous.
Only in urban environments.

Farms probably didn’t smell as strongly of animal piss as they do now due to less confinement and smaller numbers of animals.

India has probably smelled like burning cow dung for millennia. It’s a very characteristic and welcoming smell (though probably horrible if you actually live in a dwelling where this technology is used)
Jokes? You must be mistaken, we don't have those here.
Motile fungi? Scary!
By how much would depend on what is done, and I didn't imply we didn't need to prepare for them. We should do both.
While I sympathise with people trying to run a business, as a user I'm incredibly grateful not to be harassed by current and former services. I have a bunch of Netflix emails saying, "Please come back!" and "Try Netflix again for free!" as well as half a dozen that all say "Netflix tonight?" Too many bad actors ruin it for everyone and I don't think people fully appreciate what Apple does to protect their attention.

I loathe the constant spam (from reputable merchants) and junk snail mail I get every day. Every few months I spend 20 min unsubscribing and refiltering email. Most people I know just let it clog up their mail app. I probably spend at least the same amount of time with junk mail.

I realize it's difficult for an advertiser to reach me for actually useful things. But when I travel and see TV adverts, I'm glad I'm not constantly reminded that I should give luxury cars as Christmas gifts or how awesome shower gel is. I'm not interested in refinancing my mortgage every month or consolidation of debt I don't have. I don't care that my cellphone provider is broadcasting a NYE live show or the last car dealership I bought a car from wants me to switch insurance companies.
> Then, it's just a matter of getting interviews

Are you implying that, once prepared well enough, the contents of the interviews are simpler than getting actually noticed in the pile of applicants ?

Yeah... I guess I didn't think through all the edge cases on that.
People are angry when distracted drivers kill, and when it happens people are forced off the road and in to jail. If reckless driving leading to manslaughter was not illegal, you might see a few angry mobs doing what you describe.
Because sensitive people are too selfish to tell the difference. The world isn’t always smiles, hearts, and rainbows there to please you. Directness isn’t condescension unless you are a child. Sometimes honesty really does mean telling people what they don’t want to hear.

Tact isn’t a form of antidepressant. Tact is the means to account for the intention of offense without regard for actual offense. Overly sensitive people may never see that distinction.

People who figure these things out early tend to live happier and more fulfilled lives.
It sounds like you're describing flutter. But that's not quite a web technology either.
The title engineer is not about trains/engines...you learn that in engineering school..
But that is lossy compression.
I don't know if this official or publicly traded knowledge but I believe it's, "Put that toddler on Adderall / Ritalin!"
While this is a common idiom, I do think it is bad from a maintainability standpoint. Let’s say in the future you need to change make a change, and the value of a becomes the elemental sum of the vectors b and c.

a = b[i++] + c[i++]

Errors like this are more avoidable by avoiding this sort of syntactical compression.

a = b[i] + c[i]
i += 1
> rage outbursts, screaming during work hours and inappropriate e-mails... is the kind of thing HR (and the rest of the company) is having trouble dealing with.

This is a major red flag. It's either a symptom of the underlying issue, or the root cause itself.

1) It could be a symptom of the underlying issue, which is typically stress-related. "Shit rolls downhill" approach to management, unrealistic deadlines, fear of mass layoffs, etc.

2) Much more rarely, but it does happen, it could just be someone with an abusive personality. Those sorts of people are capital-T Toxic to your organization and will definitely result in your best people leaving. You want them gone, yesterday.

Start by assuming positive intent and looking at option 1 rather than option 2.

I provide consulting for organizations about engineering teams and culture and it seems like you might benefit from that. I'd be happy to have a free call with you if you'd like to talk further. My contact info is in my profile.
It's halfway between a Swiftian 'modest proposal' and a callback to duelling laws. Simply implementing this as described would of course lead to all sorts of undesirable outcomes, but really it's just a combination of the fighting words doctrine and an expanded concept of imminence that incorporates the erosion of spatial obstacles to information.

Currently you shouldn't use deadly force absent a reasonable fear that it is about to be inflicted on you. But since it is entirely possible to send a threat like I know you live at [address] and I'm coming to [do crimes] and place the recipient in a state of continuous uncertainty, the very open-endedness of the threat manifests the fear of imminence in the target. Rather than making the victim devote resources to continually monitoring and assessing the behavior of the threatening party, we can simply expand the target's right of self-defense in proportion to the scope of the issued threat.
"Is it better to ignore those threats rather than address them?"

You'd have to ask UMW.
I had previously shied away from React when I had seen it before because I thought it was another templates-in-code approach. I was actually looking for some kind of Javacript equivalent to ScalaTags[1] that I could use in Typescript when I found out how well React and Typescript worked together.

I guess react-hyperscript is what I was looking for, but I've grown to quite like JSX.

OP here.

Yeah, that's not gonna fly here at all.
You can be a programmer without being an engineer. But there are thousands of electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, computer engineers, and others who have degrees that say "engineer" and use engineering practices who are absolutely real engineers, if not Professional Engineers.
weird view of banks.

for a bank it is as simple as how can they make money from a person. If the person doesn't have much, add a simple fee. If the person has a lot, stroke their ego and convince them to park their cash in the bank so they can use that to make money.

it's the same as $.99 app software going for bulk consumers versus bespoke enterprise software trying to get $$$ from a few customers
Most Tesla owners charge the car only to 80%. The UI in the car for setting the limit encourages this by marking the zone from 60-80% as "Daily Usage" and the 80%-100% zone as "Trip".

When you purchase the car the default is also set to 80% and the delivery person tells you that you should usually have it set to 80% unless you are going to go on a long trip.
Thank you for the feedback will be adding login with email option and an overview of the application to the homepage soon. Working on it!
And that's $700,000 per day (or actually $350,000).

Netflix has paid Apple over $250 million (at the 15% rate) to have their app in the store -- definitely seems like a tax.

tl;dr Go to http://reportaproblem.apple.com/, sign in and pick the app that you want a refund for. Then fill out the questionnaire.
It was kind of joke, but why would congressman’s sex affect his decisions if he is professional? What are these important questions which are so affected by Y-chromosome?
Wow, that's interesting. Suddenly the class action lawsuit against Apple claiming they've abused their monopoly makes a lot more sense (not saying I agree with it, just that it makes more sense. I neither agree nor disagree: I'm way too ill informed to have an opinion).
Apple lets you manually request a refund in certain cases.
Reminded me of "Life Underground" in NYC's Union Square subway station. These little guys make me happy whenever I see them and I keep finding new ones even after years of passing through:

Civil disobedience, in the cases where it was successfully used, was generally non-violent.
"roughhousing" is the word for this in English.
I'd agree - Apple handling payments/fraud/refunds and all the rest has value.
Where they don't have a value proposition is with the larger providers of content. People turning up and wanting to buy your product (and not caring how it's provided to you)
Same issue has been seen within PC gaming for many years - most consumers would quite happily add games to their Steam library - but Ubi, EA, Blizzard, Bethesda, Rockstar blah blah blah all nudge/command you to buy from their own shonky store.
OP here.

Yep, I agree with you. That's good advice.
So you're saying you don't believe Fuchsia will lead to increased flutter use because there will be other options?
It looks like "self-healing" might be the thing I'm after.
As far as this decision is concerned, no.

In the US, laws restricting speech are generally unconstitutional unless the government can demonstrate both a compelling need to restrict it and the law is sufficiently narrowly construed to actually restrict only that speech which needs to be restricted for that need. In general, prohibition of self-appellations like engineer and doctor in commercial speech is considered constitutional.

In this case, the ruling found that the statute in question was broad enough to encompass more than commercial speech, and that the agency had repeatedly shown itself to believe that it did. Furthermore, it found that the use of the term "engineer," even in a commercial context, didn't inherently mislead people to believe that it referred to a certified and licensed engineer, and so the ban is overly broad. Note that if the terminology were to use specific accreditations, such as certified public accountant or registered practicing engineer, that line of argument would not work. The court concludes that only deleting the word "engineer" from two separate places in the law is necessary to conform with constitutional practice, so if the person in question had instead claimed themselves to be a "professional engineer", they would still be liable under the law.

If the law were written differently, then a ban on calling oneself an engineer (or doctor) would pass constitutional muster. It might even be possible to have a constitutional law that would prohibit Dr. Oz from calling himself Dr. Oz, although I do concede that it would be a difficult construction.
Awesome so far.

Wish it wasn’t in dart but no complaints.

Not sure I would make a game in it, but fine for 2d.
That might have been out of hatred for people affluent enough to afford a Tesla, rather than a dislike of Teslas. Also many if not most vandals are motivated exclusively by the thrill of avoiding being caught.
Are you surprised? I'm not condoning violence but paternal uncertainty is pretty horrible. I split from my ex-wife due to her involvement with a past lover during our marriage and for years I wasn't sure about my youngest. It literally would eat away at me but I didn't want to test. Eventually, I did a DNA test and the test confirmed he is mine.

I could adopt children. I could become a stepdad. I could never raise a child that was born through my partner cheating on me. It's basically a partner saying "I want your resources but I don't want my kids to be like you".
Yes, you can have other people send you money in this way, but it is actually pretty easy to get a Chinese bank account, even as a tourist. It will take you 20 minutes. Punch it into WeChat, taking into account how your name was entered on the bank system, and you're good to go.
What makes it fraud, what makes them calling themselves a lawyer not valid, if not the law?
