I doubt many Britons know that now to be fair. I could easily imagine this jape catching people out today.
Hello !

Thank you for offer your time.

Do you have anything on github/gilab/... to show some work you've already done ?

This way would be easier for other people evaluate how you could help then.

Cheers !
No one is victim blaming. Now quit your whining.
What Python habits do you wish you unlearned earlier?
I'd be willing to bet his business failed and Brexit is a handy scapegoat.

The chain of events you're describing illustrates how sexism actually works. It's not usually the result of a cabal of Evil Sexists deliberately doing their best to be sexists.
> Amazon was using MongoDB without paying for it.

Which AWS service are you referring to exactly? AWS's existing json document DB is called DynamoDB and has nothing to do with Mongo.
The majority of PL clubs use them for internal player analysis. A company local to me called STATSports (https://statsports.com/soccer/) provide the tech for big clubs all over the world including 17 of the 20 English Premier League clubs.
Of course you can't hang yourself with `Math.PI` or `window.alert`.

Try `Math.random()` and `window.confirm` instead, or much more relevant: `document.getElementById`.

A 100% inheritance tax would encourage wealthy people to consume their wealth, rather than invest it for the long term.

This will make the wealthy enjoy their wealth more, but it will make society poorer while also making it less free.

If you think about it, someone earning a lot of money but not consuming it engages in altruistic behavior. You earn money by providing goods and services for others, but then instead of enjoying the money, you work at investing it and managing it to provide even more goods and services for others!
So long as you don’t read layout information in between, you can already batch your modifications just fine. All it takes is care in how you structure and implement things, and you’re fine. And before you object, your proposed solution would require almost as much care, have more hazards to trip over, and require opting in in a way that few would—and those that would, already know how to be careful. I suspect it would also increase complexity and possibly memory usage in the browser.

If you were designing something from scratch, such approaches would be worthwhile considering, but I think that boat has sailed, and the architecture would fight against you.

Then again, I believe it was generally accepted that web browsers were stuck with UTF-16, until Simon introduced WTF-8 for Servo.
The first image [-7] is basically the same as the classic WFPC2 image jzl was referring to -- i.e., using the same mapping of emission-line filters to R, G, and B -- just using a newer camera.
I know we're talking about penguins here, but watching the BBC video made me remember a flat mate at uni who told me about the BCC covering the Spaghetti-Harvest in Ticino. (Yes that's right. Spagehtti-Harvest.) He was really disappointed to learn later in life that 'Spaghetti don't grow on trees'. https://youtu.be/tVo_wkxH9dU
It’s impressive... your dedication to the art, and your resilience. Sincerely hope you make it.

Had this discussion with an artist recently . He said to me that he’s not interested in a plan B, nor my thoughts about how to hedge the obvious risks in his life.

He said, he’ll make it, or he’ll pick up the pieces wherever he finds them at the end, and do something else.

It’s in a way embarrassing that what I find interesting about your story is the risk element and resilience. At the same time I know that risk is by far the least interesting perspective to it; yet the one that resonates most to comfortable sensibilities.
That's like saying "don't complain about sexism in tech when there are female programmers". The fact that CES doesn't operate a 100% efficient program of sexist discrimination doesn't show that Lora DiCarlo didn't experience sexist discrimination.
> You should be more careful about victim blaming.

I think you should be more careful with how you use the phrase "victim blaming", which is commonly used in cases of injustice towards victims of sexual assault in particular. You haven't been victimized, you've been inconvenienced and/or had a poor customer experience.
Show HN: EteSync – Secure, Encrypted, and Journaled Cloud Sync
Hey everyone, creator here.

As it says on the website, EteSync is a secure, end-to-end encrypted and journaled personal information synchronization for Android, the desktop and the web. It currently supports contacts, calendars and task lists, with more on the way.

It's been almost two years since I first posted about EteSync here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13975965) and a lot has changed since. Here are some of the highlights:

There are now a web client, a desktop proxy (so you can use e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook or Mac's Contacts app) and a python API, making it available on many more devices.

You now can also share your calendars, address books and task lists with other users. So you can e.g. have an end-to-end encrypted shared calendar.

We now support sending invitations for calendar events with attendees. Something that's traditionally implemented on the server, but because of end-to-end encryption we had to implement on the client side.

There is now support for tasks (todo lists) using the Open Tasks (open source) app. It's already there in the Google Play version, and will be available on F-Droid soon, once they build it.

A lot of usability and stability improvements all around thanks to many reports from the community! It's a much more polished product nowadays.

The web application is signed and verified in the browser using another project of mine, Signed Pages (https://github.com/tasn/webext-signed-pages/), which adds a layer of in-browser security that's not available elsewhere.

I have have a lot more planned, and I just can't wait to get it all out there. :)

Looking forward to hearing your feedback, and any cool ideas you may have, or end-to-end encrypted products you're just dying to have but don't exist...

Thanks a lot,
Tom

P.S
I'll be giving a talk about some of the challenges with building end-to-end encrypted applications based on my experience from EteSync. You can either attend FOSDEM (free, and a great conference), or watch the live-stream.

Yes. Being wealthy is a feeling, the feeling of abundance. That feeling can be achieved at many income levels. It depends on the person's character.

A person with modest material desires can feel very wealthy with only a modest amount of money. It is more than they ever need to be happy. They may be inspired to donate the excess to help others.

Another person can be making silly amounts of money but it is never enough, never feels like an abundance to them. They grasp for more, become ever greedier, needier. Despite having vast amounts of material things they are actually the opposite of weathy.

Really? The mi60 uses the exact same chip as the Radeon VII, and it supports pcie4. They will gimp the Radeon VII in some places so they don't completely kill mi60 sales, so dropping pcie4 makes sense in isolation but is completely whack in the bigger picture. Doesn't the right hand talk to the left hand at AMD? Hopefully there's time to reverse this crazy decision.
It's only thanks to GPS that we don't have to plan long trips anymore. Before GPS, it wasn't all that uncommon to plan your trip. (It's possible my dad went a bit overboard, though.)

I expect that in the future, every parking spot will have its own charger. At that point, EV drivers won't have to plan anymore either.

I'm aware rasterization has to happen at some point - the issue with metafont is the input, rather than the output.

Requiring someone to read a 500 page document to produce a typeset work does indeed indicate a conflict - I would spend some time finding a URL for the Knuth quote but HN really doesn't like people discussing TeX or Knuth in a negative way, and this hasn't been a very productive conversation so far.
As I said, bad debt is a combination of whether you actually need, and can afford the thing, and interest rate.

You need a house, so an affordable house would be fine, one that you cant afford isn't.

Yes an appreciating asset shifts the balance somewhat, but doesn't inherently make bad debt good.

I suppose its best to look at where each outlook ends up? The appreciating asset = good view would suggest you buy the absolute most expensive house you can get. I would suggest you look at what you need and actually can afford.

> Dow Jones is over 200% up in last 10 years.

DJIA-30 has risen from ~9000 in early Jan of 2009 to ~24000 now, a gain of ~167%.

That is a CAGR of only 10.3%, which is fairly inline with historical price appreciation of the S&P-500 index (10% total return and ~8% price appreciation). To damp out some of the short-term gyrations, taking the same index and average close prices for all of 2018 vs all of 2008, implies a CAGR of 10.9%.

The S&P-500 index is more representative of the overall large cap market than the DJIA-30, IMO. That index is up ~200% in 10 years, for a CAGR of 11.5%.

These returns are not stratospherically higher than historic norms.

In a printing money environment (which I am similarly concerned about), you want to be invested in something other than money. Real estate and equities are hedges against deflating money. (Gold bugs would argue that precious metals are as well.)

Not the best article I've read on finance, and far too consumerist for my liking but the basics are correct. If you are in your 20s in tech then the advice to get a retirement plan and to aggressively save and invest now (in said plan or not) is solid.
I went from being very poor to above average thanks to the tech industry and at first it really seems that money solve all problems and bring happiness. Now I like to think about it as money make you live comfortable, healthy life but these things have nothing to do with happiness. They are important but you can be very comfortable and still unhappy. What makes you happy are good relationships with people and family, and achieving your goals (which might not be related to building wealth but more like helping your community or discovering the purpose of the universe...)
Often such functions can be rewritten to perform some operations "inside" the option. For example:

fn is_equal_to_ten(n: Option<u32>) -> bool {
n.map(|n|n == 10).unwrap_or_default()
}

If it's so easy to find a counterexample would you furnish me with one?
The Facebook directors' board will say that, but yeah probably.
Being really honest: yes, I probably get more than $5 of value a day. That is less than I make in 10 minutes, I use my phone most of the time I'm off of my work desk, I use it to read my books, watch stuff online (even while home), to research basic subjects, etc.

So even with that price I'd consider it more valuable than what I'm spending.

With that said, of course I can have a very similar experience while using a cheaper phone so a better ROI but I think that phones are actually our most bang-for-the-buck gadget nowadays.
They don't?

I've been using Atlas for over a year now and I don't have any complaints. It was super quick to set up and I've never had a single issue in terms of performance or availability.

What have your issues with Atlas been?
You need to remember this is an old school guy (late 40s, early 50s?), coming from a time where driving a loud car is seen as a "cool" thing to do and a way of measuring your dick size. Troy is a great speaker and he certainly makes a good career out of it (and selling stolen passwords to companies), but he also loves to show off his wealth which is a bit old school and weird nowadays.

From my experience, the happiest people I know never show off their wealth or put a lot of value on materialistic things, because they just see them as a way of means, not the end goal itself. Troy has a more traditional/conservative/old school outlook on life where the wealth is the end goal itself and the definition of happiness (to him).
I think there's an argument to be made that the opposite is true - if the wealthy are spending their money then it's going to someone, after all. That someone is likely home builders, artisans, restaurants, clothiers, etc rather than offshore tax havens.
I didn't read it as "vibrators are banned in general", but as "vibrators are banned from receiving awards (in the robotics category)".

As far as I can tell, the VR porn and the "sex robot for men" were not given awards either. They were just present on the CES.
That's a good point. There are enough financial bloggers out there that you should be able to find one in your country, which will be easier to understand.

First Republic's customer service is top notch. My accounts can't possibly generate much revenue for them, but they still treat me like royalty whenever I call/email them or walk into the office.

The only thing I have to complain about is that (as of a year ago) they don't offer an overdraft line of credit for small business accounts.
Doesn't consuming wealth, rather than investing long term, end up as a net positive for society though? This may be a naive view, but it seems money placed as an investment has less of an impact, at least on the local economy, than money spent on more immediate things. At the very least it seems likely that money spent in the pursuit of consuming your wealth before death would result in it being somewhat more evenly spread amongst those who need the money, people working in bars, restaurants, manufacturing. Long term investments are more likely to end up being added to the coffers of large companies who may not even have any use for that money and just cycle it further round the investment economy to no real end.

Great build. Wonder if they are all standard issues LEGO pieces or they used a lot of the specialised Star Wars pieces in there as well? (For the death star part, I meant).

I built the LEGO Saturn V last year, and 1969 pieces was enough of a headache for me, so hats off to the artisan who created this with 80,000 pieces!

Their vibrator got banned from competing for an award. It did NOT get banned from being at CES.

The male-focused sex products did not even compete for the awards as far as I can tell, or at least did not get any of the awards.
Can't argue against how you feel and yeah I agree it's sad to see a poor animal being hunted down and killed by another animal, or a human, but wild and free animals are constantly getting preyed upon and generally don't die of old age so you're not really adding to their suffering in any way by hunting/killing them.

That said I wouldn't have anything against making hunting hunters legal. :D At least if they're above a certain income level and thus don't have a practical need to hunt.

Time.

Also security. Imagine something happened and you got no income for the next 6 month. How big a deal would that be to you financially? is it "I would definitely default on my mortgage and lose my house" or "It would eat up a bit of my savings and perhaps I'll have to skip that one vacation I was planning"
My hypothesis would be that wealth would be more spread out. So you may have less concentrated long term investment, not necessarily less overall.

I'm interested how society would become less free. Would it not increase social mobility? Or are you thinking of something else?
An appreciating asset bought with leverage provides one of the most readily available means to go from "I am in the bottom quartile of net worth" to "I have at/above the national median net worth".

I did buy basically the most expensive house we could afford (slightly less than the most expensive we could qualify for) in 2007 in a desirable city. That decision (vs continuing to rent or buying a $500K condo in that city) has likely added more to our net worth than our working for the last decade did. We bought it as a place to live and raise a family, but the financial upside (as yet still an unrealized gain) is large enough to not ignore.

and they were followed by the Fuggers, the Welsers, and finally the Rothschilds.

Interestingly the Medici fall down was caused by the exact same terms of the success of the others: Financing wars. The Medici had just bad luck that their king (of England) lost his war, and the Tories never paid them back (of course). The Germans and then the Rothschilds were more clever, they've won their important wars.

You can perfectly do the design-first process with Elm, I thought you were maybe accustomed to Storyboard or something like that.

IMHO you can do design-first process with Elm just like with React. There is no Storyboard equivalent that I'm aware of, but I never found it useful enough but maybe it is, for toolkit/library designers.

I have found that I work differently depending on environment. I do model/types/functionality first if working on my own, but in a corporate environment I typically get designs handed together with some kind of specification, so there I often do "design-first".
Why inheritance, why not just a wealth tax?

The problem with wealth, company any capex taxes has tended to be dynamic effects like capital flight. But, those aside, a 1% effective wealth tax on paoer/whiteboard, basically neutralises picketty's r>g, the driving force behind wealth disparities.

No. I said a balanced vegan diet. Even over eating whole grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and legumes whilst not eating foods that have cholesterol (meat, eggs, dairy - literally any animal products) plus the evidence of red meat and processed meat causing cancer, means I do have much less chance of having any of those diseases I mentioned.

Money doesn't buy financial security, because financial security depends on your lifestyle. Rich people become poor if they are so materialistic that they income cannot satisfy their lifestyle needs, therefore money couldn't buy them financial security.

Money can buy you opportunity, but not every opportunity makes people equally happy. Some people love to travel the world and see places for which you need very little money, some people like to drive their kids to school with an expensive car so they can dick measure with other parents and get a boost of self esteem when people look at their cars. Mostly the insecurities and desires in our lives determine which opportunities make us happy.
