at-will employment has these exact scenarios we're talking about. So on one side we have redundant or useless employees, on the other employees getting dicked over.

So at the end of the day it is all a compromise. I think pro worker compromises at the expense of companies staffing > 50 employees is definitely a positive.
So uh, how edible will these billion oysters be considering the crap they’re filtering out of the river..?

SATs are IQ tests? A large portion is math, and the other written language, both taught disciplines. You obviously haven't taken a real IQ test, which is more abstract and has a large portion of spatial geometry type questions.
We should all be freaking out about what we’ve done to the earth, but nobody seems to really be able to compare it within historical context. We just dont know what it was like just a century ago. I’m always surprised by facts like in this story and similar like https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/02/05/257046530/b... And https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/28/nyregion/new-york-city-sm...

Ask HN: Privacy-focussed OnePlus 6 – how much can be done?
I have an old iPhone 6s that I may need to upgrade in the near future. I am not that impressed with the line-up from Apple, and somehow OnePlus always tempted me.

The real issue though is privacy. I won't be dealing drugs from the phone, but I do not like being watched and that has kept me from Android phones. But how much can be done? How much can you detach it from Google-surveillance?

I do not know if the advice would be specific to OnePlus 6 or 6T, but just included that information as it is the phone I am most tempted by.
Mass layoffs are often used as cover for sweeping out the deadwood and other problematic employees. It allows both parties to save face.
I used the setup you suggest for a long time. It's an excellent intermediary step but long term, I do recommend you move to either GSuite if you want to keep the gmail interface, or otherwise another provider such as fastmail.

My primary Google account is now a GSuite (legacy) account, and my secondary one is a paid GSuite account. I honestly think that if you want to remain in the google ecosystem, paying for it is a generally good idea. $5/month is cheap.

Thanks for posting this. I've experienced something similar. My nasal passages have almost always been swollen since I was 11-12. Most ENTs I'd seen over the last 15-20 years have completely failed to provide me with relief. Earlier in 2018 I visited an ENT who noted that my turbinates were "absolutely massive" and the rest of the nasal passage was swollen.

Sometimes the swelling would affect the rest of my airway and I'd feel like I couldn't take even a moderately deep breath. I'd be rushed to the ER but the doctors couldn't find anything other than an elevated heart rate (and some immediately went to their go-to diagnosis of it being stress or a panic attack). After going through that about 10 times, I got a good doctor who told me: "oh dear, you're actually choking." But then, things like hereditary angioedema were ruled out, and the cause remained elusive. I later discovered I could control my symptoms with diet.

I'm now looking into having somnoplasty to reduce the size of my turbinates, but it's unclear whether doing so will simply shift the problem to another narrow point of my swollen nasal passage.

I appear to have lost some kind of cosmic lottery because I also have severe digestive issues and must follow a very strict diet (which also reduces the airway swelling). As you touched upon, it is very hard to accept that you spent most of your life not being able to be yourself. I know I spent most of mine in a subdued fight or flight mode due to the chronic strain on my basic bodily functions. It's been a cruel existence thus far and I can't wait for the day I can rid myself of this torture definitively (my plan for fixing my problems is getting closer to fruition and I've had some success with some of the measures I've tried).
Curious. How do you line things up?

What software? For the vast majority of people, a browser is enough. Hell, I'm computer literate, can code in many languages and am very comfortable with Linux, but 100% of what I need to do I can do from a browser.

There is a trend among pro trainers to do single leg work under less weight rather than massive squats and deadlifts. See for example Mike Boyle's great book where he describes his methods for training athletes: https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Training-Sports-Michael-Bo...

But why not mention the book's title. Oh look it's 'Path Notes of an American Ninja Master' - https://books.google.be/books?id=sTTzcNwWqPUC&lpg=PA62&ots=I...

I'm a big fan of multiple portrait-mode monitors. It makes organising multiple windows easy and the taller aspect ratio per screen is a natural fit for editing code and documents. It's not so great for CAD or graphics editing but still usable once you learn to tune out the bezels.
The actor most likely to make mistakes is the one reporting the numbers in the first place, i.e. the employer. And yes they would be held accountable for that just as the government, could you show that the numbers your employer reported is not what shows up on your tax report. This is how it’s like in many European countries and it pretty much just works.
The main difference is that overloading is resolved at compilation time whereas multi methods are resolved at runtime.

Currently I am running 3xDell U2412M in portrait for an effective resolution of 3600x1920. My next move will most likely be a 43" 4k+ monitor to replace them. A 30" is in a weird spot resolution wise but 4k over 43 is perfect for splitting the screen into 3 columns and 2 rows, or pulling up a code editor and seeing 108 lines of code without scrolling.

Wow, this is weird. I'm from Switzerland and I'm getting blocked since "I'm from Germany". They say to check Maxmind's DB and it clearly says Switzerland too.

This reminds me of services blocking Switzerland because of EU regulations, even though it's not part of the EU. But country-specific blocking and misreading Switzerland for Germany, that's a new level.

* it says they update the DB every month, so that could be an issue. It just seems a bit too wrong for me.

I'd encourage anyone down-voting this to suggest why the TTC Subway 'change collectors' who sell tokens to enter the subway (essentially their only function) - do not also sell 'presto cards'.

I will never forget what a ~55 year old anonymous commenter (I think from HN?) said once (paraphrasing): "for some of us who worked professionally through the PC and Internet revolutions, the changes have never felt that significant." Her/His point was that large shifts can go unrecognized if change happens gradually enough. Nothing more needs to be said about what homelessness on an American college campus means now or what it portends for our economic future. So, I'll just give one anecdote...

My girlfriend and I flew into SF last spring and our first Uber driver was an undergrad student who is attending community college in Santa Rosa. Asked him how often he would come to SF to drive for Uber, and he said he drives down each week for 3-4 days and just sleeps in his car. He said this as if it was normal, typical, acceptable, etc.

I am a colorist for movies and I prefer my Eizo CGxxxx over a cheap 4k display any time for programming.

Not only are the syntax highlighting colors less exhausting to look at, but despite less pixels you gain more clarity, which often has to do with the quality of the blacks.

On top of that I had only the best experience with Eizo Customer Support. Better than with any hardware manufacturer ever. On of the Eizos is running for over 15 years now without any issue and it still looks better than most modern displays.

The author lost me at "For programming I didn’t care about having a high pixel density..I wanted more text characters, not slightly smoother looking ones."

I guess it's just a personal preference, but my retina MBP's screen is so much easier on my eyes for long sessions than anything else I've ever used, and staring at a huge backlight like what he recommends seems like it'd be incredibly painful. I get all the "more text characters" I want out of a vertical monitor.
Most likely just water loss...

Every bodybuilder knows: when they start 'cutting', the first few kgs, in the first couple weeks are almost water loss and glycogen, so you always discount it (i.e. don't count it as fat loss).

Eating carbs (carbo-hydrades) makes your body retain more water. Less ingested carbs means your body will shed that extra water out.

After the first week or so, if you keep losing weight, then it means that it is actual fat loss.
Other factors that are likely as important as real estate are impact on vision and sleep.

So is your proof that the afterlife can’t exist summed up by “brain-cloning technology is not within current human reach, and there’s no non-human thing out there that could do the brain-cloning”? Because sure, I agree with that statement. In your original comment you were referring to a generic afterlife. Common afterlives discussed involve non-human being(s) to run the whole thing, so I assumed that we could assume the existance of one. Yes, I do realize that that is a very western perspective, but also we’re on a website that is primarily western.

I am under no illusion that among people who dropped out, the number of people who end up next to the dumpsters is going to be more than ones who become billionaires. Same to state universities vs private universities. One shouldn't drop out a good university when they have a choice. One shouldn't choose a no-name public university over Stanford when they have a choice.

I didn't have a choice not to attend a cheap public school.

I just want to tell my story to share the story that good teachers are everywhere, even in cheap public schools.

I'm a transit rider, and I empathize with the less fortunate. It's hardly a punishment for getting around town. I don't want to overthrow capitalism, it's definitely got it's advantages, which is why I'm for democratic socialist reform. I've seen great transit, and awful transit. SF juts happens to have the latter, and no amount of throwing our hands up and ignoring it is going to solve it.

If you're asking questions related to "raw algorithmic skill" you're filtering for people who either:
1) Have had a computer science education and happen to remember the algorithm at hand. This is also a function of recency so senior engineers are less likely to remember any given algorithm.
2) Study algorithms so they can do well at job interviews.

Neither one is something you want to be selecting for. Some of the best engineers I've worked with haven't had a proper CS education. I've known extremely strong engineers with Neuroscience, Mathematics, Physics and Public Policy degrees. I've got a business degree.

Unless you're working in certain extremely hard (and extremely rare) areas you do _not_ need to filter for algorithmic skill. Most ML doesn't count. Neither does Data Science. In 99% of engineering jobs it's more important to be diligent, rigorous, and organized. (Of course, filtering for those is another issue altogether)
Well, I read the article. They are not suggesting that you should eat the oysters ...
I spent a while homeless in SF during undergrad. I would imagine HN's primary userbase is also in ultra-high CoL areas where rent can be $4-8k easily per month.

At Cal, dorming was also somewhat-questionable due to severe overcrowding, some people not being able to be guaranteed a room, lounges being converted into housing and still not having enough spaces. Of course, off campus housing was both absolutely insanely imbalanced in terms of pricing, square footage, and amenities. And safety.
The problem usually isn't the knowing how much you made bit. It's the knowing how much you can deduct because that's all based on expenses.
Freaking out doesn’t seem to be helping? A lot of people have been freaking out for a long time. If anything, it seems to lead to a combination of despondency in allies and stubbornness in enemies. I’d advise working on solutions to specific problems, calmly and deliberately.

Like the sibling comment said, there is no specific location, which is what makes these different to our CityCycle programme. That increased flexibility has a place, and I think that education is the better solution. There are some areas where you're not supposed to leave them (malls, major shopping complexes), and as I understand the app will penalise you if you do so.

Limes were dropped on this city relatively quickly and with no widespread warning, so people are still figuring them out. I certainly think they have a place and are a net benefit to our public transport options.

Who cares if you're downleveled? The compensation bands are wide enough that they overlap. This usually means that even though you expected level N, you can get your target comp at level N-1 if you negotiate.
>the body's response to diet is in no small measure a function of genetic factors as well.

Honestly I think this is way over stated in relation to weight loss. It applies more accurately to what variation of macro and micro nutrients constitute a healthy diet for a given individual.
They're legally forbidden on roads and even in the bike lanes [1]. I can understand the road lanes, but I think it's a bit insane to keep them from bike lanes. Either way, both the police and Lime (via the app) specifically direct people to only ride them on the footpaths.

If the goal is to build a reef, eating up all the oysters isn't going to help. So maybe it's actually a good thing that those oysters will be inedible for the first couple of decades?
I really enjoy the Nerd Font pack, as it adds all kinds of symbols that are great for augmenting text editors like Vim:

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

Then your editor can look like this:

It's not all just for looks. For example you get icons for file types so it's also useful. My favorite is the Nerd Font version of Droid Sans Mono.
I think it does this after 3 episodes of no input. It's a compromise; they don't want to do this after every episode, but they also don't want you to wake up having watched every season of the show.

It would be nice if it was configurable, though. In fact, it might well configurable; I've never really checked, because the current setting is fine by me.

I have, and instead took the job for almost half that at a startup. It's not that tough of a decision if you properly weigh the quality of your time.

Keep in mind that you spend roughly half of your waking hours at work. It's important to do what you love during that time. I'm personally not a fan of spending my life to make tiny increases in some ad placement algorithm.

Biggest Financial News Stories You Missed This Week Down in Blazes, PG&E De
> "Billion Oyster Project partners with more than 70 restaurants in New York City. The businesses save up their oyster shells rather than tossing them, and a collection partner for the Billion Oyster Project rounds them up and carts them off to Governors Island, a small island due east of the Statue of Liberty."

It seems unclear to me whether their deal with restaurants is limited to collecting shells from restaurants or includes distributing oysters to restaurants as well. Hopefully it's only the former. One hopes the oysters being served are not local.
> The "eat ugly fruit!" movement is classist as FUCK. You've got to have a debilitating level of ignorance to assume that if Whole Paycheck Market doesn't stock ugly fruit, it must be getting "wasted."

It is possible to not know much about the agricultural industry without being "classist as fuck." There are an infinite number of things one can learn about and a finite amount of time. While the content is interesting, I find the condescending tone off-putting.

We have Bill Gates I think he is probably one of the best chances we have to make some positive real change here on earth. At least I think he genuinely cares. I am remaining cautiously optimistic that some great human somewhere will solve the worlds problems. That some day someone will produce food not for profit but just to help feed the world. And repeat that same sentiment for anything we sell. I do not know how one would replace a capitalistic market but I think it has truly failed humanity.
I had 2 monitors before and a 32" 4K monitor now. Despite the large real estate, I don't feel that the increased vertical space is as good as the increased horizontal space.
