I think you are conflating simple and easy. They aren't the same. Simple suggests less code, fewer pieces, and a shorter path between code and solution. Easier suggests least effort and less to look at. Simple isn't easy.

The primary difference between simple and easy are decisions. A good senior will spend more energy on considerations for appropriate decisions than the actual work.
Cold-Calling Is Dead and Buried
I can't figure out what is meant by "expand" in this and other quotes:

"The new technology combines a method for expanding brain tissue, making it possible to image at higher resolution, with a rapid 3-D microscopy technique known as lattice light-sheet microscopy. In a paper appearing in Science Jan. 17, the researchers showed that they could use these techniques to image the entire fruit fly brain, as well as large sections of the mouse brain, much faster than has previously been possible."

--> I mean, are they pumping the tissue up like a balloon or what?
I differentiate between simple and easy. They aren't the same.
600usd is a bit steep- no disrespect to the designer.
Only insofar as some actual soldiers never attain some kind of soldier-like physique.

Generally speaking, a consistent daily, and increasing pushup regime gets you most of the way towards the most visible differentiating feature of a soldier vs. random person.

There are exceptions, it's not really worth fixating on. You, the reader, are by definition probably not an exception.
I'm imagining that there's an element of truth to what you say - but one would guess that the slabs for these houses are still made up of concrete, not to mention the driveways (as well as all the other infrastructure running to said houses - sidewalks, curbs, etc). Apartments being smaller, I would be surprised if there's a huge difference in materials and construction energy input per capita between apartment living and house living. The economies of scale of an apartment building are pretty big; for example, it has one roof and one slab (obviously way bigger).

It's of course possible to construct all sorts of weird versions of this comparison (tiny houses vs McMansions, ultra-modern mid-rises made from timber, etc. etc).

I suspect it's all moot given that transport is such a substantial component of energy use and these houses/apartments should last a long time.
Most of the large deductions the government already knows about. If all taxes were was itemizing the deductions they missed that would be great.

L transferring to the KT? It doesn't even require a bus.

>BART cuts one diagonal swath through the SF core only, and it doesn't even connect directly to Caltrain in SF county. It's hardly the Underground.

Indeed, I'm not suggesting transit in SF (or the bay area as a whole) is perfect. Far from it. But compared to anywhere else west of the Mississippi (and most of the places east of it), there's nowhere better.
Because fuck google. Fuck what they do. Fuck the people that sellout to work for them. I don't want the internet to be dominated by this evil self-righteous company.
Thanks. I should also add, for context, that I plan to do lifting again, and would encourage others to do so. One of my favourite ever activities.

I'd just encourage the neophyte to be a bit cautious. Five minutes can lead to an injury that takes you out for a month, and leaves some persistent tension that will take work to get out.

And in particular I'd caution against going heavy if you're tired or stressed. I think my system in general became injury prone and tense during a period of stress. I've worked that out and feel better able to excercise compound lifts.
No, Google in 2003 may have, but today's Google is only interested in exploiting your friends and family.
Ask HN: Limitations querying legacy payments system with Lambda
I want to query data from an old external payments system from my AWS Lambda function, but I need to give the payment provider a set of IP addresses that I'll be connecting from. The payment system also only allows me to have a maximum of 5 concurrent HTTP connections (although it seems to let me create more - but I'm told that we'll be breaking our contract if we open more connections).
I feel the same way. Obviously I can't measure false negatives, because they don't get hired, but I can't remember having been duped before. My process is to ask them to describe their role on some projects on their resume and then keep asking them deeper and deeper questions about it until one of us hits the limit of our knowledge. I only ever ask people questions about things they claim to have done. This probably creates some false negatives with really shy people, but it's easy to suss out the bull shitters.

Get 10 or 20 year term life insurance. Someone else has said this already but it can't be repeated enough.

Get enough to pay your spouses expenses until they are able to get income, pay off your mortgage if applicable, and if you can afford it get enough to cover future college expenses.

Age, health, term-duration depending it will cost you a something on the order of $100-1000 per year. It will cover you to that amount until your term expires, and then it's gone. It's a pure cost - unlike whole life, which seemed to me to be more of a tax reducing strategy for very wealthy people - but you will sleep much, much better.
Instituting an UBI will only make rents more expensive and above the UBI level. It happened with government guaranteed housing credit in certain EU countries. The credit upper threshold was max 60k euros, so good luck finding cheaper options because everything starts at 60k now, even old apartments. If the gov't screws too much with the economy, it will screw people back.

It used to be that the hammer was as heavy as the user desires. Then, with the introduction of mass manufacturing, hammers become available only in discrete weights and the user was forced to make due with a hammer that is either slightly too heavy or slightly too light, because nobody manufactures the precise weight of hammer the user desires and the local industry to have a custom hammer created for yourself no longer exists.

Good definition of 'Simple'. Simple and easy may not be the same but there are situations where they are similar.

For e.g. - for production deployment, I could either put the entire office upside down. Fires across the departments. Broken applications. Rollbacks. Or, I can automate all of our QA test cases and have a one-click deployment. No huss or fuss. I'm sure after having this experience, someone will definitely say - well, this was easy.

Anyway, good discussion.
"From what I gather, obesity and chronic health issues are vastly more common than they used to be."

Obesity, perhaps, but chronic health issues? Not really - and a tremendous number of those went untreated. A huge number of people in the past lived with perpetual pain and disabilities.

The problem with this is when what you think you're fighting for and what you're actually fighting for don't align.

I've encountered patient advocacy groups who are actively, and passionately, pushing for the wrong thing, that while emotively satisfying, will not help the problem they're trying to solve.
This is weird.

1. Why does it need AI? Why not just fund stuff that do social good? Instead of giving out computing credits that will eventually run out.

2. The successful projects joins a startup accelerator. Wtf?

This guys really lost track of what charity means.
Fonts seem to be a very a personal thing. There are demonstrably better and worse fonts, but at the end of the day, I would guess the there are half as many “best” (is favourite) fonts at my workplace as there are engineers.

That said, I have to check those out you mention (never heard of any of them). Thanks.

My current personal favourite is Hasklig.
Well, I suppose Big Brand Apparel company doesn’t have their supply chain dialed in, but I also have previous experience with said manufacturers and their supply chain and factory logistics teams and know how much control and oversight they have.

That said, Amazon occasionally asks us to provide ordering proof of our lot.. an official invoice from Big Brahd Apparel company is good enough for them (it has to match across many points, to be sure). Plus, we inspect and review all returns.

It’s official product. In good shape.
Bit ordering and byte ordering are both endianness. Word ordering is also endianness, as is nibble ordering. It's all endianness.

The fact that we typically refer to byte ordering doesn't mean the others are not also endianness.

Really? Are you in the Bay Area? If so, I find it hard to believe there’s not at least one startup within 10 miles of your current employer doing something at least vaguely interesting (or, at least more interesting than selling ads).
That's because it's a housing credit instead of a UBI. If you give people money they can only use for housing, they use it for housing and the price of housing increases relative to the price of everything else (including wages).

If you give them money they can use for anything, it doesn't increase the real cost of anything in particular, it only reduces the relative disparity between the rich and the poor.

Sure, it’s hard to get right, and patient advocacy groups in particular can be wildly off target. By advocacy I mean one-on-one, for someone you actually have a connection to, and limited to issues you can reasonably understand. For some people that will be issues of comfort and other basics, for some it might have a more clinical element. Advocacy can be as simple as checking on an elderly relative to make sure they’re being cared for properly, checking a doctor’s background, or even getting another opinion from another doctor. In extremes it can mean diagnosis on your own, which you then verify with a doctor.

In that last vein, I’ve been in that position. A girlfriend from years ago had a nasty rash on her arm, and a series of dermatologists gave her a series of exams and creams. I did some research and concluded that it was probably an allergic reaction. I talked to her latest dermatologist who agreed it could be that, and I suggested taking s daily allergy pill. It worked.

Sometimes having the time and inclination to do research is more than a busy doctor brings to the table. If you’re skeptical, and understand that cherrypicking symptoms from a list and screaming “oh god it’s a tumor,” is unhelpful, then research is useful.
Yes.

From The function of zebra stripes[1]:

> Despite over a century of interest, the function of zebra stripes has never been examined systematically. Here we match variation in striping of equid species and subspecies to geographic range overlap of environmental variables in multifactor models controlling for phylogeny to simultaneously test the five major explanations for this infamous colouration. For subspecies, there are significant associations between our proxy for tabanid biting fly annoyance and most striping measures (facial and neck stripe number, flank and rump striping, leg stripe intensity and shadow striping), and between belly stripe number and tsetse fly distribution, several of which are replicated at the species level. Conversely, there is no consistent support for camouflage, predator avoidance, heat management or social interaction hypotheses. Susceptibility to ectoparasite attack is discussed in relation to short coat hair, disease transmission and blood loss.

Call 911. When they send an ambulance, take the ambulance.

Heart attack is tough, especially the first time someone has one:

- The pain is usually dull and can even be subtle

- The pain usually is better with rest and worse with exertion, so you can convince yourself that it was some minor thing that is passing

- The pain is usually not so bad that you'd think you'd have a problem driving, taking the subway, etc.

But, heart attack doesn't kill you via pain. It kills you via arrhythmia, which happens because that ischemic heart tissue is electrically active.

If you have a cardiac arrest from your heart attack and you're in an ambulance, they're going to defibrillate you. If you have a cardiac arrest from your heart attack and you're driving yourself to the hospital, you're going to crash your car and it's unlikely that anyone will figure out what happened in time to defibrillate you.

Now, people who have established angina with known coronary anatomy will get more specific advice from their doctors. But in general, if someone without known disease develops symptoms that sound like a heart attack, they need to be evaluated.
Technically, there is no VAT in the US. There is sales tax, and it can vary from city to city. I guess that is why it is not included in the price by default.

"Participants

This report reviews the outcomes of 198 consecutive nonsmoking patients with multiple comorbidities of hyperlipidemia (n=161), hypertension (n=60), and diabetes (n=23) who voluntarily asked for counseling in plantbased nutrition for disease treatment. These self-selected participants requested consultation after learning about the program through the Internet, the media, prior scientific publications, the senior author’s book (CBE Jr), other authors’ supportive comments, or word of mouth.2,13 A preliminary 25- to 30-minute telephone conversation established disease presentation and severity by eliciting reports of symptoms, history of MI, stress test and angiogram results, interventions undertaken, family history, lipid profile, and the presence of comorbid chronic conditions. In these calls, we outlined the program, established rapport, and documented the need for additional patient information. The Cleveland Clinic Institutional Review Board determined that these were acceptable outcome measurements to evaluate the nutrition program."

"Baseline characteristics of participants are
shown in Table 1. (Two patients from the original group of 200 were lost to follow-up.) The remaining 198 participants for whom
data were available had CVD, were mostly men (91%), averaged 62.9 years of age, and were followed for an average of 44.2 months (3.7 years). "
> I understand and agree that taxes are important, but if we make it too easy, we make people complacent and the next thing you know, we will wake up with a 75% tax rate.

If I hire a senior Programmer in Bulgaria for $35,000, they can afford the house of their dreams and lead a very good life with holidays to nearby scenic destinations. Any excess profits that the company makes translates into a huge bonus for them. They have the chance to work in a growing company and be revered as the top of their society.

If that same person moves to the US, they are just a cog in a huge machine, and will be unable to afford to buy a house. Not to mention that getting the visa to go there would be very difficult.

Not to mention that when you work for a small corp, you spend all of your time on dubious products changes for the sake of a product manager looking good for an interview panel.

In developing markets there is no such 'bullshit', to be frank. The company delivers a good product to the international market or it dies. If you can find a talented Westerner to lead the team and product design, even better. This kind of leanness is exhilarating to work for as long as the company approach, payments and bonuses are transparent.
Historically, we didn't have the resources to "carry" a lot of disabled people. You had to pull your own weight in some way.

Because I'm disabled and the internet is a thing, I'm very aware of the existence of people on disability, on multiple meds and not doing much with their lives. Historically, we simply didn't have the resources to support such people.

I'm thinking of those folks -- not simply people living with pain and limitations, but people who historically would have simply died because if it was going to kill you to keep on keeping on, then you were going to die because disability payments, etc, simply did not exist like they do today.
There is a lot of evidence from other countries too. In Australia, the Government provides a free web app (used to be a Windows/Mac app) where you can file your taxes. 90% of people can just check that the income figures reported by employers are right, maybe throw in some deductions and click 'file'. You get a refund transferred and a receipt (or bill) by email within the next two weeks.

It basically does everything that an individual could need to do, although you can go to an accountant if you want (if you can't be bothered, or have particularly complex things you need advice on).
must be nice to live in a country that's not even have half the size of Washington state and has a smaller population than one county (King, to be specific, has more than two million if I remember) in it.
The interview setting, with someone who might or might not be technically capable, with your job / career / earnings at stake is a very different situation than explaining past projects to a colleague at work.
Not Ubuntu at least. For instance Mesa in Ubuntu LTS is a lot behind the current release. So it is clearly not properly desktop oriented.

This isn't simply about "latest and greatest", but about timely bug fixes as well. Thinking that LTS provides stability can backfire, if you'll be stuck with the same bug for months and in the end won't have stability either.

Proper desktop oriented LTS updates some things frequently (backports idea).

It doesn't put you in dire straits. You have unemployment insurance and can get continuing equivalent health coverage under COBRA (and this is probably a qualifying life event under the ACA, so they can apply for much less expensive coverage).

Beyond that, you are living beyond your means if you don't several months of rent and utility expenses saved up. She literally admits they were living beyond their means. That is poor judgement and it's their fault.

According to the Wikipedia page on VAT in the UK[1], while there are two rates and presumably everyone there knows them, there is a long arbitrary list of which item falls into the 20%, 5%, or 0% category. For example, it says "Biscuits (chocolate covered only)" are 20%, but "Smoking cessation products" are 5%.

Sales tax where I am has similar characteristics - I think most people are perfectly well aware (as I am) that it is generally 8%, but I couldn't tell you exactly which items are exempt, or what the modification is for prepared food or whatever.

So I think you are exaggerating (as people like to do) the difference between the US and the UK.
