This sort of thing is technically possible for children of Indian citizens born in countries without birth citizenship, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_nationality_law#Citizen.... Given that millions of Indians live in Persian gulf countries with these sorts of citizenship laws, I wonder if it has ever happened.

All/most modern houses (10-15 years old) have central ventilation systems here. This allows for great insulation while also having great ventilation. The central system sucks out warm air from bathroom/kitchen and uses it to warm up incoming air from the outside.
I think that in the vast, vast majority of countries (all of them?), you receive the citizenship of your parents, regardless of the country in which you're born.

So unless therhttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jnbichee's a country where this is not the case, the situation you're describing would not occur. And if there is such a country, the problem would not be unique to Israel, since birthright citizenship is not practiced in many (most?) countries.

Edit: Interesting. As user cwzwarich points out, it appears that India is indeed such a country. So looks like it's possible to be stateless at birth if you're Indian and born in one of the many countries without birthright citizenship. That said, all an Indian citizen has to do if that happens is to report the birth at an Indian embassy within 1 year of the birth, and then the child is an Indian citizen. But if your parents are irresponsible or unaware of the law...
There's many a motivation for a parent not teaching their native language to their children -- my step-father's parents didn't teach their kids Spanish because they didn't want them to have an accent (and also got beaten as children for speaking Spanish in school as that was the '30s rural New Mexico way).
Also, the pronoun "me" is generally used to refer to a person, not a corporation. So there doesn't seem to be any ambiguity about the meaning of the title.

The more precise statement is that 45% of U.S. households pay no federal income tax. [1] [2]

There are other kinds of taxes, such as sales tax, payroll tax, gas tax, etc. But talk about raising taxes usually focuses on income tax since nearly half of Americans don't pay it anyway.

In fact, the top 1% of taxpayers pay 39% of the federal income tax burden.

two months into fiscal FY2019, medicare had taken in $34B and spent $129B

fiscal FY2019 CMMS spent $270B - a 24% increase YOY

therefore, it seems disingenuous to equate taxation with spending, there's just no way to arithmetically catch up.

Hmm, I'm getting downvoted, but even the opening ones look arguable to me, e.g. in the hotel room on the first page the lamp shade and cushion near the sofa don't look great. Some of the HED artifacts could be improved with some post processing I imagine (as they do later). The dogs are significantly better on page 6. Looks to me like there are some things they are doing better, but still a way to go. Difficult to tell with the small number of sample images.

Being wrong once without intent to be wrong is not lying.

In this case, Google continues to repeat wrong information long after being corrected multiple times. At this point, it's fair to say they are lying.
I'll just say that American culture in general makes it extremely difficult to stick to a healthy and disciplined lifestyle, no matter the specific diet. In keto communities I see people who have met lots of success but find it rough being bombarded by family, friends, and dining out options in general all going against their way of eating.

It's getting better, with restaurants especially. But it's still a large hurdle to any diet and/or healthy lifestyle. I'm sure it's better in some areas of the country than others.
I can't think of any examples where a group is falsely labeled intolerant as a pretext to discriminate against them.

>> Rank and file programmers at the top tier tech companies now make $300 to $400 thousand per year.

That is absurdly false.

To be generous, let's pretend he's only talking about FAANG programmers, rather than startups. According to Glassdoor, average compensation for "Software Engineer" positions:

Facebook: 121K Base + 15K Addl = 136K

Apple: 122K Base + 10K Addl = 132K

Amazon: 103K Base + 20K Addl = 123K

Netflix: 121K Base + 20K Addl = 141K

Google: 124K Base + 20K Addl = 144K

These numbers are slightly inflated (by 1k to 20K/yr) because I counted base and additional pay independently, while Glassdoor calculates an average total combined comp, which is always lower; I'm taking the larger numbers to give the author the benefit of the doubt.

Since Google is the highest, let's drill down on them a bit:
With 1yr of experience you're looking at 121K+16K (or 125K total claimed, not doing my independent math thing), with 15+ years experience you're looking at 140K+24K (or 161K total claimed).

Again according to Glassdoor, to break 300K at Google on the average you need to be a Senior Staff Software Engineer or higher, which is exceptionally rare -- bit o' Googling suggests they're around 1% of the workforce, give or take.

In other words, the author is literally calling "The 1%" the Rank and File of programmers. Which is an exaggeration, I think.

NB: What Glassdoor doesn't account for is past stock performance; since SV traditionally pays a large chunk of its compensation in restricted stock units, and since the stock in each of these companies has increased by 50% to 150% in the past 4 years, by the time those stocks vest your "additional" compensation may have grown quite a bit due to market performance. But that's not a compensation bubble, it's just the stock market.

Check out Rodney Brooks' blog to see some predictions from somebody who actually has at least some idea of what they're talking about:

That's the scary thing that makes it so difficult to argue invest in my opinion, in that really ever since the late 90s Asian financial crisis we've been on these huge boom/bust/boom/bust cycles, all fueled by the Fed encouraging people to take more risk to lessen the blow of the bust.
As long as politicians insist on playing science, scientists must play politics. If we could have a nice clean separation that would be great, but we’re far from it. If scientists don’t get political then they’ll just be trampled.

>Seeing as how the author was indeed born in Israel

And Google notes this in the knowledge box. Above where it says he is born it states: Israeli computer scientist

I would say in most cases you could make the leap that someone born somewhere is an X computer scientist. In this case, it isn't correct.

The more concerning thing about this is Google's lack of attention to the feedback reports they solicit for knowledge box. I've put a couple through in the past and they haven't change the information. Who knows.

Maybe the feedback process exists to gauge what actually needs to change? <100 requests and it is ignored.

EDIT

After I posted this I made a feedback request and immediately received this back from Google:

> No. But I'm not a nation state ..

Fair enough. Though in context you do seem to be promoting it as an investment strategy, which still seems a tad sociopathic to me.

> We'll adapt we always do.

If by 'we' you mean H Sapiens - true so far, but then again modern humans are very recent, so there's little history to go on.

If by 'we' you mean our specific civilisation - shakier ground. Many have ended. So can ours. Based on how small edge fluctuations have been shown to create huge perturbations (eg. the 2015 European crisis resultant on a tiny influx of refugees), it's clear our global civilisation's range of dynamic stability is very narrow. It's certainly unlikely to survive ecosystem collapses, the death of the oceans (already well advanced), and the breakdown of a stable climate. Multiple overlapping wars consequent on this chaos are the most likely proximate cause of the final global collapse.

GP seemed a bit more certain than "someone somewhere might have trademarked the word 'scoot' at some time"?
I imagine very few people stick to a diet for 5 years, partly because they're not fun, and partly because many are unhealthy when done long term. Also, many health professionals recommended a max of 500 calorie deficit, which would mean ~50 pounds of weight loss in a year.

When would you need to follow a diet for 5 years if most people can reach their goal weight in 1-2 years? Once people reach their goal weight, they'll transition off to something else, which usually isn't a specific diet, but "eat more veggies" or whatever.

Given that long term diets are quite niche, I think limiting the study to 1 year makes a lot of sense.
It's not lying. Maybe it's being wrong, maybe it's negligence, but it's not lying. It's not like they're trying to display the wrong information. The algorithm isn't a person. It's not as simple as saying "oh, our algorithm messed up, we'll kindly tell it to say that you live over there from now on".

I wouldn't call it lying, I'd call it a sub-optimal algorithm design.
C# and Typescript are both co-developed by Anders Hejlsberg, so no wonder.
Israel doesn't have birthright citizenship, so calling him Israeli is not technically accurate.

But I agree that Google is almost certainly not lying, which implies intent. They're simply wrong.
It seems odd to me that there's such a fervent obsession with women in technology, often times coming from men in technology. Why do I not see endless articles about female lawyers or female doctors or even really female engineers, and how we as a society treat them? There's probably a few reasons (I read Hacker News, not Lawyer News, for one), but allow me to offer a different explanation: there's just too many damn nerds. Tech is inherently more asocial than other fields, combine that with the unique (counter-)culture and you have a veritable melting pot of people who are awkward communicators with unconventional views who are slightly detached from reality.

What this means is that a) male-female gaps in communication skills are exacerbated, b) gender disparities are felt more and c) everyone, male and female, is more likely to respond anxiously (e.g. with negative internal feelings) to perceived slights. This leads to a self defeating obsession - the more we lose our collective shit over the gender gap, the more it will widen. I feel like in other industries there's flirting and office affairs and platonic relationships and power struggles and lots of other human messes, but tech people have a unique kind of anxiety surrounding male-female interactions.

Maybe I'm just projecting because I have had very few female friends and approaching women romantically turns me into spaghetti but it really seems plausible. Also note that the office that I work in has a pretty good ratio and thus I can say with confidence that the women are as much dweebs as the men are. And of course this doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything to recruit women. But I think the best way is if everyone just calmed down for like 2-5 years.

I think winning over meat-eaters is the key in the clean meat technology. Even if you become a vegan or vegetarian, others will still consume a growing amount of meat. Harassing meat eaters isn't the solution. The solution is to give them an alternative that's at least as good. "Good" from the perspective of a meat eater here, not from a vegan/vegetarian perspective. And here, clean meat is the solution.

I don't think that meat should ever be banned but we should raise the legal bar of animal husbandry to ethical levels, once clean meat becomes effective enough.

The guy was born in Israel... Seems like a rant about nothing to me

Being born is Israel does not automatically make a person a citizen. This is true of the vast majority of countries.

Google has such a SV-focused mindset that it simply can't comprehend that the United States is one of only a few countries that give automatic citizenship based on geography of birth.
The colon is also used at the beginning of the phrase in the sense of identifying the speaker in plays.

When used in a letter it is commonly preceded by a salutation, as in your "Dear Mr Smith:" example.

In most countries of the world, this is not the case. As a general rule, only the countries North/South America practice ius soli, or birthright citizenship.
Yup it's just CICO (with some health exceptions). Now enough physical exercise and you can make a significant dent in your daily caloric requirements, but most people drastically underestimate how many calories they are actually burning while working out.

Conversely if you do have an idea how to do long distance, high endurance cardio you probably already understand how much more energy you need to intake to keep up on weight.

Right so really the headline is 'diet is more important than exercise when it comes to weight loss' which is no surprise to anyone
There are plenty of conservatives unfairly bucketed with the extreme right and regularly called Nazis. Due to this, discussion between the left and the right has pretty much disappeared as conversation is always shut down by calling them fascists. Mind you I am a leftist, but also a strong proponent of free speech and open discussion so this trend is disturbing to me.
The definition of "EBITDA" keeps getting looser each year, so the true leverage is likely somewhat higher than you'd expect by just looking at the max leverage a credit agreement permits.

Also, most leveraged loans (i.e. institutional term B loans) require de minimis principal repayment in addition to interest (1%/year).
It's not nothing.

Based on Google's logic, I'm Emirati. I'm most assuredly not. I was born in Dubai to Scottish parents, and spent the first 18 years of my life as a British expat living in various countries. At the age of 19, I took US citizenship.

So, like the blogger, you could call me American, or British, or Scottish, or some combination - Scottish-American, etc. But, calling my an Emirati would be completely wrong. I never had Emirati citizenship, I have no affinity to the Emirates, and I haven't been back to the Emirates since leaving prior to my 2nd birthday.

A good portion of this falls under the purview of "data engineering" which is another conceptual layer to think about / research.
You are absurdly ignorant. Glassdoor salaries are weighted down by old data which makes them useless. I started out of college 3 years ago at 120k total comp and just switched to a 210k total comp job with a measly 2.5 years of experience and that offer was not even from one of the big 5 tech companies.

Edit: I'll add that all the senior engineers (lifetime position for most people) that I have worked with are indeed making 300,000+ a year.
What about the HN users who don't have a subscription to newscientist.com?
To me, it would seem that there's a couple things that aren't considered in most of these studies. A lot of them have a lot of controls in place for the starting size/weight range of the individuals. Given this, and the change in hormone (particularly insulin) response it's not always the same advice depending on how overweight you are, how much you are showing insulin resistance or elevated/deflated insulin response.

I think that resting insulin levels should be part of annual exams for everyone. It's much easier to explain, hey you're heading towards diabetes clinically when people still feel relatively well and healthy.

My own advice to younger people, and to those who aren't very overweight is to limit meals to 2-3 a day, don't snack between meals, and don't drink anything sweetened or containing calories during the day outside of meal time. Limit sugars to around 20-30g/day, and if having more, limit it to a single treat/dessert every other week.

If you're more overweight, or "pre-diabetic", then I suggest reducing total carbs to 100g/day, and limiting to 1-2 meals a day.

If you're obese/diabetic, omad (one meal a day) and ketogenic macros.

If you're on higher doses of insulin, add a 3-7 day fast once a month. And a 48hr fast at least once a week.

The worse off you are starting the harder it is... fortunately, you can work your way up the scale/advice above as you reach closer to an ideal weight.

After you get used to not snacking and reducing sugar/sweetened things between meals, it gets easier. The first week or two can be grueling and if you're a social eater, it can be very hard too.
