Whole Foods admits trying to sell asparagus water for $6 was a mistake (2015)
Nowadays I work around 8:30-18:00 on most days.

I work out 3-4 days a week. Sometimes I go to gym during lunch, other times after work and maybe one day on weekends. I try to limit sugar and carbs but am not as obsessive about it as I used to be (I want to get _more_ obsessive about limiting sugar again however). I supplement with everything that I think is worth it and that we have enough data on - creatine, fish oil, Vit D, B12, caffeine, L-Theanine, Hyaluronic Acid.

I spend about an hour or two most days on some sort of mental self-improvement project - coding, learning math, something like that.

I try to give myself at least an eight-hour sleep opportunity every night.

The US indeed have a large amount of land and many guns, but that land is already termed "fly-over" country, do you think most people on the coasts care if somebody runs around up in the Apalachian mountains with a gun shouting down with the rich?
If (which I do not believe) those persons will have no value at all, we will deal with them when/if they riot.

If only we had some proximal lesson from recent history to look to, as a way of explaining just how deveststing insurgencies can be in the modern world. You know, a lesson involving a bunch of mountain men with guns, fighting from their home turf. Oh well, I can’t think of anything, but if it comes up I’m sure that our record stamping them out quickly, effectively, and without catastrophic loss of life and treasure will speak for itself.
>It’s not hard at all to get a new credit card.

It's not really hard but it certainly is an inconvenience, especially if you're going to rip off a video game dev. It would take a lot of dedication and resources to exploit OP's policy, and pretty much no one would do it is the point.
Perhaps "profit" isn't the best way to put it, but "wellbeing per dollar" in some way - ultimately a measurable optimization factor of some sort needs to be decided on and used.

Instead we see cities without any sort of optimization, repeatedly trying failed ideas, flushing tax dollars down the toilet. "This clearly isn't working, let's just keep doing it" ought to be the slogan for many midsize cities.

> lowering our standards of living

Why is living in a smaller home a lower standard of living? Wasted space is a higher standard?
V-Moda had (still have?) a similar warranty on their headphones. They broke every year like clockwork, and every time I mailed it in for a brand new pair. This went on for at least four or five years.
I lived in a van for four months this past summer but I have a hard time explaining why I loved it so much. The experience was visceral.

During the day I'd run my company. Cell service is so great now that I could be tethered to my phone doing video calls while camping out on BLM land.

Then in the evening I'd go do an outdoor adventure, usually a short one. And then I'd devote my weekends to being active, like a two day backpacking trip.

The result was that I felt like I was using my full self for the first time. I'd be completely exhausted mentally by Friday and physically by Sunday.
Absolutely. I was only attempting to address the upward trend line in the mirrorless (micro-4/3 specifically) graphs in the linked article.

I too sold my Canon DSLR kit for Olympus. I rarely carried the Canon stuff because it was bulky. But, I still wanted a bit more flexibility than the compact 1" sensor offerings.
I think that all data scientists can pick up the baton here. Maybe we could have a nice analysis about the evolution of Article 13 and who supported what clause. Given that elections are in May this would be valuable information. For the DS people it could be a great example of how to communicate complex ideas in a simple manner. Just a project suggestion for ones portfolio.
The teachers' situation is more demoralizing for sure.

Capitalism would explain the difference between a tech worker's pay and a teacher's pay as based on skill and worker scarcity, not on who works the hardest.
I highly recommend Believer Magazine and encourage you to subscribe to the print version. It changed hands about two years ago and is now published out of UNLV (or something ?) but the content is still the same old Believer content and has not suffered at all.

I don't think today's "influencers" are any different from yesterday's movie and TV celebs - we just now have better way to enable our vapidity.

Yeah, about as much as you could win a fortune in a casino if only you made the decisions that lead the fruit symbols on the slot machine to line up.

This view is severely underestimating the role played by path dependence (e.g. your environment, wealth of your parents) and pure luck.
I remember one of my first jobs out of college, we had an engineer in his late 50s on our team. He was capable and had experience with mainframes as well as Java at the time. My manager at the time had a soft spot for him.

Now I am getting up in age, and I am wondering the same thing for myself.
Thanks for pointing out a motivation for density restrictions that isn't purely cartel-ish. I appreciate the perspective.

I'm not sure what to do about Cletus, to be honest. I'd like to say "enforce the laws about making tons of noise and discharging weapons" but I know that can be a fool's errand in some cases. After all, I was a loud student once.

Ultimately I think that neighborhoods near the core of cities need to grow (densify), as they did for most of history, and the existing homeowners can enjoy the consolation of watching their home become substantially more valuable as a result of somebody wanting to put 10 apartments there instead of one house. It's telling that in many places the most desirable neighbourhoods are the ones built _before_ current laws made them illegal.

'course, I just bought a house in the country, so we'll see how that goes.

Also, Cletus was a caricature... Poor people can be quiet and rich people can be loud.

I think I've reread her whole earthsea cycle about every decade since ~1996, so maybe its time for another go.

I will say, some of her magazine fiction didn't age well. Some of the shorter stories and dime novels are fun, but, well wonky and incoherent. Not that I think she was going for coherence, but it distracts from the narrative once you are bit familiar with her worlds.
The transaction ID per tuple is a core piece of data used in MVCC, the transaction management protocol underlying PostgreSQL in its current form.
The thing that is wrong in the design in having two calls to action. The fact that it's user hostile is a separate issue. You could make the skip button look more like a button but you should still deemphasize all but one action.
Why does one shard being down remove all their inbound functionality? I'm struggling to understand the purpose of sharding if you can't pull a node offline and replace it while you deal with the wraparound. Is it part of postgres that if one shard has an issue, the entire cluster goes into read only mode?

As Josh states at the end of the third post the current best practices for dealing with this are really workarounds and as Robert states it requires monitoring and management. Postgres is an amazing piece of software and managing this is doable but IMHO this is one of Postgres' worst warts. It would be awesome if someone could donate some funding to improve this.
I don't understand why these are so chic, but manufactured housing isn't.

For these quoted build costs, you could do a pretty highly upgraded singlewide, and it would age better than any of these and can actually be permanently installed onto a foundation.

Yeah I would assume that there are some interesting stories hidden in the earnings reports, but your typical regurgitated press release style "article" is about the least useful way of presenting the data I can think of.

I hope the financial reporters (or whatever they're called) would be free to do more digging into anomalies, and have more help spotting those anomalies, thanks to software.
Upbringing and personality has something to do with it too.

Folks who grew up in the country with wide open spaces feel claustrophobic in small spaces.

City people are happy with 400-600 sqft/person. It's an exercise in minimalism and frugality.
bcrypt is not a password generation (or password stretching) algorithm.

As always, it's the programmer's duty to investigate the RNG before relying on the entropy of some function's result.

UUIDs based on a CSPRNG and used as a password/token have some nice features--they're of fixed length, easy to validate for well-formedness, easy to serialize or deserialize in a variety of conventions.
The flip side is say, those, who, because there was no safety net, did not or were not able to turn their lives around the way you did and fell on really, really hard times - who didn't make it.
The reason I'm surprised is because the EU must know it is becoming less and less popular by the day, so why would you insist on pushing this? I get the corporate interests, but is it worth slowly disintegrating the EU over?
This is an old copywriting tactic that has been around for decades. It's the "too good to be true" policy. It's just a way to make people think "wow, how does he stay in business!". It really makes you think that their product is very good.

I vaguely remember some book author having an interesting typo related policy. His claim was, for each typo reported in his book, he would start out by paying 1 penny, and for the 2nd typo he would pay 2 pennies then 4 pennies then 8 pennies and so on. It was a crazy claim because if you double your pennies 30 times, it's over $5 million dollars. I can't remember who did this, but how's that for an incentive to buy the book haha.
Welfare in the Netherlands is ~1200/month. If you live cheaply (e.g. in a 500/month room in a shared house) that leaves more than enough for a transatlantic plane ticket every now and then.

Without private property, you'd be subsistence farming and fighting off anyone stronger than you that wanted your land (since it wouldn't be privately owned).

How is labor being misappropriated if it's creating productivity?

"Humans have never made a single new thing, at least as far as I know. "

You're typing this on a phone or computer connected to the internet.

"The purchasing of people for labor has long been out of style"

What is the alternative to this that you think is in style?
I'd call it reporting rather than journalism but that isn't based on anything other than how I think about the two things. One is a mechanical regurgitation and the other requires some thought to make connections or inferences.
I scored 7030 and had PTSD flashbacks to the time I worked with a 40-year veteran graphic designer. You wouldn't want to run designs by that person on a Monday, ever. Overall though I thought it was a neat little game. Thanks for posting it.
Agreed. I remember those bad actors because they were so extreme and rare. Certainly less than 1%.
The problem in the Netherlands is that land is expensive. A 40 square meter tiny house in Almere was for sale at €200.000, while a nearby 3 bedroom family house was for sale at €220.000. They both had a garden but the family house was a row home. They both used about the same amount of land.

Houses are cheap enough that the price difference between a tiny house and a regular house is negligible when you add the price of land onto it. And the fact that a tiny house sometimes needs more land because it's detached.

Also, if you really care about the environment and population, live in an apartment building. It is better for the environment, because you share each others heating. You can have scale advantages when you do solar on the shared roof. You don't use as much land because you can go up in the air, which means more people can live in a popular area.
Yes, we’re actively working on that.

Ketamine treatments are pretty expensive at a clinic. If you wanted regular Ketamine doses for depression (maybe like 1 a month?), I would just buy some online and insufflate it. Safer than a needle and just as effective.

PS: Chronic Ketamine use destroys your urinary tract (I know people that wet the bed every night from too much of the stuff). Also, it might cause brain damage, but no one is really sure.
In a Diffie Hellman setup, configure the machine you aren't sat in front of (usually the server) to use a fixed secret value instead of a random one.

Now since you know this value, and the other value you need (from the client in this case) is sent over the wire, you can run the DH algorithm and decrypt everything.

You should (obviously) never do this in production, although it is what various financial institutions plan to do and they have standardised at ETSI as an "improvement" on TLS (you know, like how TSA locks are an "improvement" over actually locking your luggage so random airport staff can't steal stuff) ...

Just tried it. What's the point of type signatures if the compiler won't hold you to the promises you've made? This is in Python 3.6.4:

>>> def f (x:int) -> int: return x+1
...
>>> def g (x:str) -> str: return f(x)
...
>>> g(1)
2

I expected a complaint after the second definition: I specified that g takes and returns a string, and then defined it to take and return an int. Not only did Python not catch the error at compile time (defining g), it didn't even catch it at runtime (calling g).

Ask HN: How did you solve your product's chicken and egg problem?
First, you should try to write everything down. If you have a twiki or internal site, organize the information and how things are done.

Encourage others with experience to also document everything. This will form some of the basis for your on boarding of junior developers.

If you do not have guidelines for how your code should look, how code is tested, and how code is released, get the team together and write them. Having the basics available for the juniors to learn from is incredibly helpful.
I don't think minimum wage increases work. There are some unintended consequences. Let's say you pay people $15/hour to flip burgers. They have a higher wage but companies generally pass this cost increase on to consumers. All companies that raised these prices tend to be the ones that the poor people shop at. In the end you don't get the increase in buying power that you might think just by raising wages.

Additionally, what about the EMT that went to school for 2 years and makes $36K ($18/hour)? You have now totally destroyed the value of their education investment and made this job undesirable. Over time, people won't choose this job without wage increases. This may not happen instantly but eventually this ripples higher and higher. As it does so, the wage increase cause higher prices. Eventually at equilibrium it doesn't seem likely to me that anyone's buying power is really improved.

I still think the only solution is to tax the "rich" more and move to almost no taxes for those that are poorer. There is no reason at all to tax someone who is making minimum wage. Given the wage gap, the tax doesn't even need to increase very much to do this.

Discover Maslo – An Empathetic AI
To be fair, quite a lot of real-world "collaboration" consists of one person doing most of the work, and then sharing the credit (whether willing or not) with someone else. I am very accustomed to telling someone the hows and whys and not seeing any acknowledgement signals coming back.

Real collaborations have a lot of tangents, and rabbit trails, and clarification requests, and elucidation sidebars, and restating what has already been established, and re-asking the core questions to see if they have been answered. If the other person is just nodding and saying "Mmhmm. Go on.", then that's no "true [Scotsman]" collaborator. It's a typical collaboration, though; there are two people in the room, and between the two of them, someone is doing the work.

How so? Many people (women even moreso than men in my experience) prioritize fulfilling work over higher paying work. This is observable in, for example, people pursuing careers in saturated industries like journalism, art, or acting, as well as going for "more meaningful" startup jobs instead of FANG jobs.

I personally switched from rocket science to tech and then to a FANG so I could get increased compensation and have a chance of catching up to Bay Area housing prices. My compensation increased 3x in the process. Most of my peers wouldn't do that.

I started monthly ketamine treatment about 3 years ago for treatment resistant depression. It has helped me immensely. It costs me $375 per infusion.

I tried 1-3 drugs from every class of antidepressant (and a few other types) before ketamine and had limited results. Ketamine, however, has been a godsend.

If anyone has any questions about the treatment, the drug, its effects on me, or anything else, feel free to ask.
> My choices were nothing special: Pay attention in school, do my homework, get good grades, pick a meaningful hobby, don't drink or do drugs, don't beat up other kids for fun, read books, work in a retail store, stay away from drama

I concede that the rest of this list is choices you made, but I wonder how much of the part I quoted can be attributed to actual, conscious choice on your part.

Me personally, I'm in tech by pure luck. Because my mother let me watch Star Trek as a kid, because my father arranged for a PC in our house, because they gave me essentially unlimited and unsupervised time in front of it, and because I lucked out with education reform that transferred me out of the worst class in primary school to the best one in secondary school - only because of that, I picked up programming as a hobby. My job, my knowledge and my material situation are pretty much directly attributable to this. It wasn't my choice.
Interesting experiments referenced. I think I my personal assumption was that fish could maybe feel pain, and insects probably couldn't. But now one of those is answered.
