There was one enormous hidden expense that my profit and loss chart didn’t show: me.

My living expenses were rapidly eating away at my personal savings. Between my $3.3k/month Manhattan apartment, private health insurance, food, and utilities, it cost $6-7k per month just to sustain myself.

I wouldn't really consider this hidden expense. It's just expense. I think this is one of the most dangerous lies startups tell themselves.
The EU doesn't have to allow the UK to leave, the UK has to decide to leave, the EU has nothing to do with it.

The trouble is if the UK leaves, it loses all the benefits of being in the EU.
The DIY designer baby project funded with Bitcoin
I don’t disagree, though I would say it’s an absurd point. I’m confident enough that Apple’s servers, hosted between GCP, AWS and Azure AFAIK, will outlast my current iPhone and my next few. Also that apps I bought even 10 years ago that are still of use and supported are available to me now.

The EULA that was breached here was an Enterprise agreement between Google and Apple. It will have been poured over by teams of lawyers. An individual at Google had decided, “fuck it, whats the worst that could happen?” and found out.

I’ve seen people frequently be accused of being “Apple apologist” on this site. What I’m reading is the exact opposite. Google are responsible for their actions, no-one else. As is constantly pointed out, there is an alternative to iPhone, where choice and “freedom” exist, but it comes at a non-financial cost.
No-one ever claimed otherwise.

The EU is not a "free trade zone".
your list just show the yearly churn of the news-repost industry (i.e. companies that have zero investigative journalism, needs fresh people to get fresh news sources to repost)

vice (not the site) and buzzfeed news (not regular buzzfeed) are a new beatst in the news industry. they sell tailored pieces (pretty much an improved model that wired used to reborn in the 2000s). for example vice got a huge account promoting gun hobby. go to their YouTube channel and you will see half of their documentaries are touting the fun of owning guns. the site now only exists as a payment hub for those documentaries. buzzfeed (and Verizon media) tried the same but are moving much slower (but you wait when an election is around the corner, you will hear a lot from those)
Don't want to be too specific, but let's say rust belt cities with no top ranked colleges.
It's almost like a misaligned a4
I do exactly that, and only use waze in town and HERE maps everywhere else. Only problem seems to be GPS signal is really hard to pick up, and always wants google play services, same goes for google maps.
I read NYT with javascript=disabled. No ads, no paywall, great loading time.
Please, do tell.
I'm not a cable subscriber but I don't think it's a bad deal for the average American, especially families. DVRs have allowed cable subscribers to skip ads with a bit of planning and a slight delay in viewing for over a decade. This allows for unlimited viewing of the newest content on demand without advertisement. Basic cable seems to start at about $40/month which is about 2x more than having a Netflix and Hulu subscription while offering more movies, the latest season of every show, cable news, and sports.
The obvious solution would be to fund newspapers with tax money but would that work in every country?
Is China paying a bounty on stolen autonomous vehicle information?
Hi all, I have no story link to submit, but rather a question to raise for community discussion and entertainment.

Do you think that China, or Chinese companies, are putting word out that people coming back with information about autonomous vehicle technology will get paid a bounty?

I think this because the recent Chinese nationals being caught about to leave the country with AV data / info -- I doubt they're outright spies. In fact, they were so downright clueless about how they were behaving and attracting attention that they must be amateurs.

Leads me to think there must be some channel through which they find out that such data / intel would be valuable and could be bought.

What do you think? Can this be happening? Have you ever encountered this kind of explicit bounty on some corporate secrets, with anyone you've heard of or worked with?

Just interested to discuss.
Buy a few. Insurance if they’re discontinued and also send the message about what is valued by their customers. I bought one for my wife for Christmas.

I dunno. The market for something along these lines is probably as big as a substantial portion of the entire portable computer market was in, say, the late 90s. And it'd have basically no competition (at least at launch). Seems like it should be a viable product that could be brought to market at a non-insane price. Should.

Capitalism's weird. We end up with the most popular version of a thing being dirt cheap and common as air, and anything even slightly different or better being impossible to get or absurdly expensive.
> “Each of the foreign citizens who ‘enrolled’ and made ‘tuition’ payments to the University knew that they would not attend any actual classes, earn credits, or make academic progress toward an actual degree,” one indictment reads. “Rather, their intent was to fraudulently maintain their student visa status and to obtain work authorization.”

Did I miss something? How exactly did they know that?

Given purely what is in this article, it doesn’t sound at all inconceivable to me that someone might actually register and pay (or even show up at?) the school expecting to take a class. That’s kind of the point of a good front... it looks legitimate.

If May had won a decent majority in the election, I think she would have gotten the backstop through, possibly even NI-only.

The all-UK backstop is an EU concession to the UK. The UK fought and asked for it, and other parties - e.g. France - are not in favour of it. It is not a plot to control the UK.

For example, it only binds the UK mainland to follow harmonized laws in effect at the beginning of the backstop, and not to track dynamic changes to the regulatory landscape. Lack of dynamic tracking means UK has a built-in and potentially growing advantage over the rest of the EU, should it ever remain in effect for long.

In any case, it's strongly in the UK's interest to have more integration than the backstop - to actually track closer to EU regulation than the backstop enforces - because the EU will continue to be the UK's single most significant economic partner, and the closest regulatory superpower. The UK doesn't have enough weight to get global suppliers to make special products for its domestic market if the regulations are different.

> All of them imitate the MacBook Air: thin, shiny, glamorous, and they all critically lack ports.

This is the sentence before. IMO you’re being way too harsh. He is clearly trying to emphasize that the average consumers has lost their need for ports, thus, most lightweight computers aren’t sufficient for the author’s line of work. But OMG the author doesn’t know the proper context of Instagram! This whole article loses credibility! Listen to yourself.

PathAI | Boston, MA or Austin, TX | https://pathai.com | Onsite / Remote (US)

PathAI is looking for front- and back-end engineers and engineering managers to help detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology. A few days ago, I wrote about what this means to us: https://twitter.com/mjacksonw/status/1090693541565734914

We're growing quickly, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well. You'll just want to make sure you have solid skills in python/django or similar to be a decent fit.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue, growth, and – most importantly – impact.

Check out our open positions at https://www.pathai.com/careers/.

Come March 31st the UK has no trade deals with any country. Even the WTO schedules are up for argument in the unelected WTO court.
If that did occur, wouldn't that allow the UK and the EU to trade freely via Japan...?

MIT Robot Now Plays Jenga
Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA / Boston, MA | Rust Engineer | Fulltime | ONSITE

We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded by top-tier VCs.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Kubernetes. In addition to building our back end in Rust, we are also solving some very interesting problems in the areas of data transformation, high-speed APIs, flexible UX frameworks and fine-grained authorization for healthcare data.

Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[hnrust]" in the subject line.

Other positions available:
- Senior Front End Engineer (React Native, React)
- Senior Security Engineer (OAuth, SAML, identity, etc) (please use [hnfe] or [hnse] in subject line for the above).

Locations: San Francisco, Boston or Montreal; sorry, no distributed/remote option at the moment.

When he completed something, he would flip the binder clip over. Keep the board next to your bed at night, go down the list in the morning.

Oh I totally understand the benefits of owning the disc. It is just that they buy everything on disc. I own a few Blurays of some of my favourite films but I think that I have 5 or 6 total. I know people with over 300 movies on Bluray! I mean yes it is cool they can lend it to a friend but that isn't something that happens often in my experience.

So yeah I get the benefits for your favourite things but for some generic Hollywood action movie? Dunno man that seems like a waste of €20 to me when you can watch it on Netflix or some other service you already subscribe to. I mean they all have Netflix of course. They don't even seem to check if the film is even available to stream on a service they already pay for. Very strange to me.

As a counter point to what you said about music I have found way more music I love thanks to Spotify. I discovered music much like you when I was younger but it wasn't really anything I wouldn't have discovered anyway as it was all popular rock, indie, pop, jazz artists that had wide vinyl/CD distribution. Thanks to Spotify I can listen to some random artist in a small country with close to the same discoverability as Taylor Swift, Jay-Z or Coldplay. Of course that is more to do with the internet that Spotify specifically but I still love Spotify. I listen to so much more music than I did when we had CDs or just the iTunes store. The same is true of TV and movies thanks to Netflix imho.
The placebo effect is particularly effective for simple pain like headaches (also anxiety, and nausea).
Compared to a lot of other fields, software development is such a screaming meritocracy, we're practically living in a real life utopia. Where else can you literally write your own ticket to a 200k+ salary without so much as a high school diploma?--IF you have the skills, that is. Compare medicine: you could walk on water and raise the dead, but good luck getting a position without certification!
Is IBM included in metaphorical Silicon Valley? What about Expedia? Or Concur? Seems very arbitrary. Is metaphorical Silicon Valley only applicable to negative actions of tech companies or does it apply to all big tech companies? I searched for “metaphorical Silicon Valley” and didn’t see anything relevant.

Also how did you get into this beta and where is the actual option? Is it under notifications? I’d prefer to use the native app and still use smile.
Oh man, tell me about it. I lurk on Reddit from time to time from my smartphone and the experience nowadays is terrible. I have like half a dozen elements disabled using u-block to make it somewhat bearable. From the pulsating button at the top of every page to the multiple dialogs taking turn to harass you into installing the app...

On top of that I've noticed that the website keeps getting slower and slower to load what's effectively a few KB of plain text comments.

The state of the web in 2019 is frankly shameful. Those are tactics that you should expect from shady websites, not some of the biggest players in the field. Everybody is trying to trick you into going against your best interests.

The GDPR did a good job at highlighting that for me, suddenly all the websites in the world deployed a wealth of ingenuity to develop new dark patterns to trick you into opting into the tracking, using ambiguous controls and confusingly worded instructions.

I hope this is only a phase and we'll move away from this toxic ad-driven business model sooner or later but honestly at this point I'm not holding my breath.
