I think that was in response to the false dichotomy the guy created, and the implied judgments about skill for those who didn't value what he did.
You can ask, but the ones that are terrible will tell you point blank that they care about work life balance and then simply fail to follow through.

My advice to folks is that if you don’t have a very significant chunk of the company, ie >1% then the payoff can never be good enough to compromise work/life balance.

If you’re a founder or very early and have 5% or some such the. That’s between you and your family.

Probably still ain’t gonna pay off.
I've been a customer since April 2016 (with a Nexus 5, moto x4 and a Pixel 3 XL) and I've been very happy with Project Fi.

Their service and support have been wonderful, including replacing a device twice (with overnight shipping) free of charge, outside of warranty.

I haven't had a desire to cancel my service, so I can't help you with the cancel button being missing. :)
Could you share some pointers to codebases you find high quality?

No, I'm not happy. Since I know you understand the definition of "summary" (and, if in doubt of why I felt the need to summarize, you had my explanation of the context a few posts above, and you consistently ignored it), I can only assume you're trolling.

A counterargument to what!? You're demented.

I'm upset I wasted my time with a troll. I wish there was a way to report you.

Google's own location timeline also can be used in court, and is updated in near real-time.[1]

Practically speaking, I would think that Google's data is even more susceptible to be found in court and used in that manner than data held and passed on by smaller, relatively unknown apps that lawyers may not even know are installed on locked phones.

You have a good point about there being a larger surface area and more weak points when more than one entity handles data, but I'd also be wary of heavy-handed regulations along that dividing line. I don't think we need to give Google monopoly rights to another big chunk of the ad industry. If a user might prefer an entity other than Google handle certain pieces of their data (maybe they strike a more transparent and rewarding deal than Google), they should have that choice.

Yes. If you want a business model for a game with GPL licensed libraries, the best model seems to be to sell the binaries, give away the source (which would also be licensed GPL), and plead others to not distribute binaries. It might also be possible to lock down the artist's assets as long as you comply with the GPL for distribution.
You raise taxes and redistribute money from the wealthy to the less-wealthy. It is not, like, outlandish to hear the claim that this would improve the economy, or at least be no worse for the economy than not doing it.

I mean, it may not be true -- I don't tend to think that it's true -- but this should not be the first time that you've heard it.

Obviously raising taxes and then setting the money raised on fire, or putting it in a bank vault, or shipping it overseas, would not help your economy. That's not what Korea is doing.
This is why I constantly work to become a better storyteller, both for personal and professional reasons. You must promulgate the narrative surrounding yourself and your work or someone else will.

Humans absolutely require a narrative surrounding anything with which they consider themselves associated with. It’s vastly superior to that being one provided by you versus one invented for use by those who know you.
Odd they only interviewed business owners and employers, and not the people who benefit from higher wages.

Of course, this article scratches its head because it is assuming SKorea = USA and South Koreans = 'Muricans. Maybe we should look at the biggest driver of the economy in the US: consumer spending. Giving workers higher wages causes a boom in spending and a boom in economic growth (see: the wage increases in the 1990's and the largest boom in latter 20th century history). Maybe SKoreans just don't need to own piles of crap like americans? Maybe we should look at what historically the biggest driver of the SKorean economy is, and see if raising wages would actually increase that.

Too bad the article is so thin on actual economic history and, um, knowledge.
Raising taxes will not result in growth. The government has to think like a company and invest in the right opportunities to make more money and create better jobs. Maybe its time we rethink the role of our government. Instead of asking us for taxes, maybe they pay us back.

Do you have specific examples of what America is doing right now that somehow justifies China's behavior right now or makes it look less bad?

Like, I agree America ain't perfect, but last I checked it ain't systematically and officially imprisoning/torturing/enslaving religious minorities, either (as just one example of the sorts of severe human rights violations China is actively committing at this very moment), nor is it actively preventing its citizens from discussing its very-checkered past (let alone present).

The "hey America does bad things so please don't mind us while we oppress those Tibetans over there" tactic is nothing new, and has been a staple of Chinese apologists for decades, and it falls apart pretty quickly once you scratch through the surface.

Even if we do want to go head-to-head on historical wrongs, the Great Leap Forward alone makes even pre-Civil-Rights-Movement America look utopian in comparison. I guess that's par for the course for these African countries looking for a role model, though: "if China can get away with starving its own people to death while its ruling class eats plentifully and gets richer, then I guess we can, too".
That's what I'm curious about - ok, you got this extra cash, whatcha doing with it? Is the money going into tech advancement, education? Is this a long term play towards expanding markets or capabilities or is it a neat way to get closer to/further into the black?

Currently I use Fossil (which is not bad, but there could be a better way (possibly even modifying Fossil to support such thing), I think).

If it is on a remote server, support using a SQLite virtual table to access it (this does not mean the server needs to use SQLite to store the database, but only that it supports the equivalent of xBestIndex) (for local data you can just use a SQLite database without a virtual table), then you can make up your own queries (although you may need authorization to post messages, to view them shouldn't need authorization). A command-line interface to file issues (as well as to view/download them) is also helpful, and perhaps a HTML interface too. Use whichever interface works best for your use, or all of them, if needed.

Generally speaking these days, whenever I see a non-minor / specialist article in need of correction, I tend to rely on the talk section to make points that maybe an editor can apply better.

That's what I did for Wikipedia's article on software synthesizers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_synthesizer), which in 2014 was rather out of date, particularly on its "typical" examples and other elements.

The article does look a fair bit better now. It does seem to still carry a little awkwardness (eg statements like "a software instrument is akin to a soundfont" which is not really correct) and a few out-of-date moments (eg why mention Csound and Nyquist as music programming language examples but not mention more common examples these days such as Max/MSP or PureData?) and some other quibbles I have. But it is better. Maybe I'll have to make a few more talk points someday. :)

Personally, I do think Wikipedia for the casual contributor is unfortunately broken. But given the amount of trolls and agenda-oriented people out there, I actually can understand why there is a high barrier to entry. It's just a bit unfortunate because it also restricts the diversity of the contribution ecosystem. I'm not sure how to reconcile the two personally...
There's a big marginal-propensity-to-consume argument. Poor people spend a much larger proportion of their income than rich people, so if you redirect money from rich people to poor people, you redirect it from hoarding & speculation toward economic activity.

It's unclear at which threshold this actually occurs, as it implies that rich people are either sitting with their money in the bank or playing speculative games with it rather than investing it in productive enterprises that will spend it on innovation. South Korea's experience indicates that may not be the case, at least in South Korea, or it could indicate that government expenditures aren't actually reaching poor people, or it could indicate poor people blew it all on Bitcoin rather than spending it on useful things. Anyway, that's the theory, whether it applies to reality is still an open question.

Ask HN: Cost-effective hardware for text processing?
I need to process 15,000 text files each day. This includes un-raring, manipulating data, creating a CSV, etc etc. it’s a lot. Each file is from 1mb to over 100mb. I can’t change how I get this data.

I currently use a combination of rar, gnu parallel, python, pandas, rename, sed, in a bash script. Debian 9.6.

Having 60gb backlog plus new data each day my laptop doesn’t keep up. I need to have a dedicated setup for this.

Ideas on doing this cheaply but still pretty quick? What are hardware ideas? Would a Pi cluster be effective? A used PC would be fine but there are so many processors and motherboards all slightly different.

Edit: I could switch to C++ using system() calls. Then eventually replace these calls with code to do the work that makes sense.

Agreed, tax policy overall is just an ineffective lever for growth. It may help on the margins (tax break to build a factory, tax break on electric cars, tax increase to fund national health and education programs) but it doesn't spur the fundamental earth shaking innovation that advanced economies need to grow at a clip above 2-3%.
The story of the Norden bombsight is remarkable in a whole bunch of different ways.

1) As an historic example of the US putting an inordinate amount of faith in high-tech solutions to military problems, only to be disappointed with how those solutions actually performed when they reached the field. (This story being a hardy perennial: see also the Browning Automatic Rifle, the Mark 14 torpedo, the M16 rifle, the F-111 fighter, the M2 Bradley AFV, the F-35 strike fighter, etc. etc. etc.)

2) As a cautionary tale of building your security plan around the wrong threat model: Nordens in the field were subject to extraordinary security measures to prevent them falling into enemy hands, none of which mattered because the Germans had a spy inside the Norden plant who had already passed them the plans for the bombsight three years before the U.S. even entered the war (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duquesne_Spy_Ring#Herman_W._La...).

3) As an early example of PR prowess from what would become known as the military-industrial complex: while the bombsight itself was kind of a dud, the Carl L. Norden Company (with the eager assistance of the USAAF) were adept at selling it to the public as a kind of wonder-weapon. As an example, here's a 1943 story from Life magazine about Norden partnering with the Ringling Bros. circus to work the bombsight into a show in Madison Square Garden: https://books.google.com/books?id=EU4EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA27&ots=...

There's nothing wrong with the sub/dom dynamic as long as it's consensual, and it's not really opposed at all to the generally liberal culture at Google (in my experience it's generally more common in liberal circles). If the relationship is with someone you work with that's an issue but any relationship with someone you work with is an issue.

agree, if anything confrontation only leads to their views getting more cemented in the way they already are. Kahneman & Tversky make for interesting reading here.
This seems primarily about program design with Forth being the example language. And looking at it, it seems like between this view of design versus object-oriented design books versus, I-don't-know, functional design ideas, the main difference is what things are language-implemented versus what things exist conceptually but aren't directly supported/implemented by the language.

The thing about all this that I find interesting in describing these situations, design-theories are leveraging human language skills. The big thing is taking a customer's narrative of what they want to have accomplished and turning this into the exact, machine-implemented series of instruction. You are talking about a human-being using the language-facility to construct something exact. And well, I don't know if the structure of human-generated language for problem solving has been investigated that much by linguists but it would be interesting to see an investigation of this in relation to program design.
I'm pretty sure it was 4, the company I was working for was...let's just say "slow to update", which is partly why I left.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I like this idea. It's not so much that capitalists are rapacious and sociopathic, it's that most administrators and bureaucrats are prone to mediocrity and only exercise cost discipline when they are under a constraint forcing them to do so.

The robber baron would actually be preferable, in a certain sense, because at least then, someone would benefit from the rent-seeking. The problem being that if you were a robber baron, there are much better ways to get rich. Also, many of these rent-seekers are not even for-profit enterprises.
It's not like money paid as taxes just evaporates. It's spent, i.e. put right back into the economy.
> If this is correct, tax policy is a huge distraction, and if governments really want to jump-start growth they should be funding basic research, ensuring that the results are public (to their citizens, at least), and encouraging bright young people from across the world to immigrate to their jurisdictions.

Which could be accomplished by raising taxes.

Raising taxes, particularly in the US to pay for social services like healthcare and education would also have a huge effect on growth and productivity. It's not really the level of taxes that matters it's that you spend money on things that enabled people to pursue innovation/employement/art/etc and not get burnt out on administrative bullshit and constant stress from preventable things.

higher taxes can be used for infrastructure, education, healthcare, unemployment, pensions, ... all of those make either the workforce more competitive and keep people from falling into poverty. people who have money (even though when they don't have a job) still buy things.

i'm a big believer that small income disparity is better. mr. moon, the auto parts maker, probably still earns a multitude of what most of his employees make. if you earn 5 times of what a minimum wage employee makes and the really rich guys earn 7 times of the min wage, you're still considered rich. a ten times wage gap between what the poor and the middle class makes is, imo, just not good for a healthy population.
The Great College Loan Swindle (2017)
Well, I think it is a matter of scale. It's not that tax policy isn't important, it's that the things people tend to change most easily are not as important as the things which are more difficult. When people say hyperbolic things about changes which are small in the grand scheme of things, it gives you the impression that nothing could matter as much as they're saying it does.

As for California in particular, I can tell you that their tax policy (along with all of their other policies, including firearms policy which is somehow more asinine than here in Canada, and their policy on corporate boards which is profoundly unjust) is a major turn-off for myself, and if you look at migration between states in the U.S, you'll find that a lot of other people feel the same way.

People aren't leaving California because of the weather, you know.
A Daughter’s Disability and a Father’s Awakening
- it wouldn't assume that problems map 1-to-1 with solutions. A reported problem might require several things to solve, and a solution might handle multiple problems.

- it would make it easier to collaborate. Most issue trackers have a single person assigned to a ticket, but I would want multiple: the person working on it, the person testing it. Other people brought in to answer a single question. A person brought in to do code review. Playing pass-the-baton about who's currently assigned to the ticket is frustrating.

- it would have a more loose issue life cycle. Sometimes a ticket is in a clean state—in progress, finished, deployed. Sometimes it's not. Maybe it got deployed then reverted. Maybe it's waiting on something else. Maybe it's in branch somewhere. Most systems either offer nothing, or require you to set up a rigid set of states and transitions.

This is what Wefunder (YC W13) does with equity crowdfunding. It's great for companies that have passionate user bases.
