I agree. I thing Americans are drifting apart because we aren't making an effort to create a social fabric that can support those less fortunate around us.

But I strongly disagree that this is a good job for the government. I think empathy exists, but we aren't going to find it in the hearts of the government or enterprises. Empathy comes from people.
The CCC during the Great Depression put millions to work and they built some amazing and lasting infrastructure. As a kid I would go to Skyline Drive in Shenandoah Nat. Park and be amazed and thankful at the work they did. Didn't seem so dystopian to me.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Descendants

Here's my evolutionary "Just So Story" for why human kids like to wander away and put things into their mouths. Basically, they acted as food tasters for the group. Makes sense, since the group has invested in them the least, they know nothing important, and in a state of nature, they're likely to die anyways.
Do you have evidence of this other than from the movie Training Day? Saying "most" is a huge generalization. I would agree it probably happens, but "most"?
Very much. Classical music often is mixed the same way as enough listeners are musicians who want the better mixes. I'm sure there are other odd (non-mainstream) music that gets good treatment as well.

You cannot buy a good 25' motorhome for $15-20k. You might be able to find a 20+ year old one with an under powered gas engine. In that case everything will be outdated and need upgrading.

Most RVs are made out of low grade materials like particleboard and MDF. I used neither. They are not made to be lived in and fall apart quickly.

None of them have a work area either. You end up using a laptop on the dinette or turn it into a desk and lose an eating area. I built a dedicated standing desk with a large monitor.

Ask HN: Good resources to learn how to build payment based applications
Payment/money based applications have always intrigued me but I am unsure on some of how to implement the "money" part of it. I am clear on using stripe to facilitate getting money but the hard part seems like how do I store and return it.

If a customer provides me x amount of money that they can then use to facilitate real-world purchases through my tool how do I safely store and track that (think PayPal for example)?

I have gone looking and a lot of resources center around the "here's how to implement stripe" which I can figure out. Are there any resources for what comes next? Handling the money, returning, ledgers, etc?
It's sort of like the photo captions in a fashion magazine, where they list all the clothing items the models are wearing and their price.
More likely: "Hey journalist #213, there is this movie coming out about the boer war and it should be a hit. Why don't you and #214 and #215 get together in the conference room and research and write some articles about it. People will probably read it." "sure thing, chief."

repeat each publisher.

What is more parsimonious, someone writing context pieces for ad views ahead of a known impending cultural event, or some big bad advertising conspiracy trying to inception you into watching a movie about the boer war.

Reminds me of this time when I bought a box of andes mints circa 2007. The glue that was used to hold the packaging closed was all over the chocolate. It wasn't a big deal, but I was disappointed and I wanted to let them know so they can fix the problem.

They wrote back to me saying, "Don't worry, the glue is edible." Ok cool. I don't want to eat the "glue", but I think they missed my point. So I reply suggesting people probably don't want to eat the glue so they should fix the production issue to improve the quality of their product, even if it's just aesthetic. They wrote back asking how much free product would make me happy. None. I didn't want anything for free, I just wanted to make them aware of the problem. But they're operating on the assumption that everyone who complains is a bad actor who wants something for free.

But sometimes a money back guarantee is just a good channel to get valuable feedback, if you're willing to accept it.
Though a used tiny house is probably competitive to a new trailer and still has the original quality. Or until trailer manufactures figure out that tiny house people are willing to pay a little extra for a superficial luxury look but they care about price more than quality overall. I don't know if the latter is true or not, only time will tell.

This is a pretty weak connection to a single word in the subtitle... astute readers will notice his forthcoming book also deals with "betrayal" (and also "genius"). Buzzfeed-worthy subtitling is a Mezrich specialty, after all.

I don't think there's really a throughline from the "betrayals" of Saverin and the Winklevosses that the book was concerned with and Facebook's privacy travails (other than maybe "Zuckerberg is a bad dude").
Seltzer tablets are gross imho, but if you're handy you can assemble your own commercial grade carbonator from standard 'industrial lego' parts that will accept standard CO2 bottles (not the proprietary crap soda stream uses.) It's an up front investment but if you drink a lot of seltzer, it won't take long for it to pay itself off. With a little bit of home DIY/carpentry you can make it look nice too.

If you go to a local restaurant supply store they can likely guide you through the whole process.
I appreciate the response. A legacy system at my company actually exposed data this way recently. A user guessed values and was able to see a small bit of data from other customers.
Funny - I was looking at SendGrid on Twitter and looks like they've had some issues themselves over the last few weeks: https://twitter.com/sendgrid_ops Did you notice anything, or were these very small outages? For all that, they've obviously been a good deal more communicative than Mandrill when they have had issues.
Do you support the return of prohibition of alcohol, then, but keeping it "decriminalized"?

I think a lot of this fear that legalizing drugs will lead to a bunch of non-drug users suddenly becoming drug addicts is simply hysteria. People use illegal drugs to self-medicate some other problem; healthy people are not suddenly going to want to be crack users.

A lot of the hysteria in Colorado prior to marijuana legalization was that youth consumption rates would increase. The opposite happened:

Obviously pistols and electric shocks aren't recommended by the Bible. The incompatibility between technological progress and ancient gospel is a different problem, which is why there is a rift between modern "progressive" sects of a religion and fundamentalist sects.

> we're probably decades away from really insightful NLG that offers "why" explanations, as opposed to "what" or "how" descriptions.

For any specialized field, doing this would require something more than the kinds of schooling journalists get. It would also step on a lot of political toes: For example, the current national debt is $X. Why is it that big? Is that number a problem? Say anything concrete regarding either of those questions and you get screeching. Just endless, wordless screeching, like the Pod People in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only directed into your Letters to the Editor column.
The label makers are sophisticated and simple enough to use that anybody working in the store could have made them. I think the "product group" in this case was a manager or employee dicking around in clever ways trying to increase sales for his or her department.

I would call Bloomberg a financial news company. It's a great company. But I am sympathetic to the view of calling it a tech company because the Bloomberg terminal is an important piece of tech.

Forgetting for a moment whether it is tech or not, is Bloomberg the biggest company founded in New York (in any area) over the last 30 years? My guess would be yes.

>Because people start off with nothing essentially.

This is disputed by figures as diverse as Aristotle, Spinoza, Hegel and Rousseau. It is not fact at least as presented here without discussion.

>While exploitation may be real presuming that management and capital contribute nothing is just plain not anchored in reality.

The theory of exploitation in Marx or post-Marx (even without the LTV) does not depend on the assumption that capitalists cannot add value. I'd suggest looking at the work of John Roemer and his work on PECP and CECP.

>It can improve and boost living standards per person without a specialized pyramid scheme of labor.

Was this ever cast in doubt? I'd also caution the application of a historical example to the society of today, since the applicability of the principle has not been proven.

>While raw inputs may come from land processing it is where the bulk of value actually comes from.

This is textbook Marx.
Irrespective of the protocol, my optimism for the future of the web has been curtailed by developments like extensions having less and less power over time (recent example is Google's plans to intentionally cripple ad blockers), plugins going away, hobbyist websites becoming more burdensome to set up and maintain if insecure http is deprecated, browsers planning to disable autoplay, etc. It feels like the golden age of the creative and vibrant web peaked during the brief window where all the new HTML5 stuff was around, Firefox used the old extension system, and Flash and Java applets were still common.

After that point it's been becoming more and more sterilized. My web apps that automatically played some sound aren't going to work anymore without some obnoxious "click here to begin" screen that doesn't fit in with the content. No more plugins letting us extend our browsers in new ways (what a convenient "coincidence" for Google that this gives them more control over what the user gets to do and makes tracking what goes on easier). I have to give Reddit Enhancement Suite permission every single time it tries to show a preview from a domain it hasn't previously done so from before. It's all suffocating. HTML5 makes up for some of the lost capability but it's not enough and what parts of HTML5 are going to actually work are basically at the whim of Google now.

But at least HTTP/3 will let us load buzzfeed listicles a few milliseconds faster, so there's that.

The problem is not the tech but the learning style. With interactive notebooks and ton of other materials available, students can participate in pro-active reading before the class so the actual class time can be used more for discussion, not just lecturing. Sadly, most students and professors still do the old way of passive listening.
Photogs adapt to the medium. [1] provides a good insight into how Instagram's (initial) square-only format and low resolution are creative constraints themselves. I practice mostly street and photojournalism with some portraits (and also shoot, develop, and scan my own film) and story has always triumphed quality, and Instagram's limits are plenty.

The easiest way is to print optically rather than digitally. A midrange enlarger lens is easily capable of outperforming a high-end scanner, and high-end apo enlarger lenses are still top dog. Avoiding the quantization inherent to pixel-based formats makes it much easier to deliver resolution to paper.
My dog isn't that curious, but if he gets curious about something he vets it by trying to eat it, twice, just in case.
Awesome product. I’ve had to implement one of these and it’s a real PITA to even do half as well. I’d love to see more drop in components for complex UI/UX problems along these lines.

>but there are wealthy places in the US with good infrastrcture

You're going to have to tell me what those are, because I've been all over the US and I have absolutely no idea what places these might be. All the wealthy places I've seen in the US either have crumbling infrastructure (northeast), terrible public transit, or no real public transit at all and expect everyone to get around in cars (e.g., suburban DC area).

>but people expect the whole U.S. to have it’s infrastructure together when 1,500 miles gets you just halfway across the U.S.

No, people expect the US's major metro areas to have their infrastructure together (i.e., subways), and they just don't.

I assume it's to reduce the cognitive dissonance - you can't say "I tried to sell a stupid product" if you have a belief in your rightness. The product was RIGHT, but the implementation was bad is a lot easier to deal with if you're trying to justifying selling 2.2 oz of beef jerky for $8.00.
There is always western bias. You are in the U.S., with your U.S. perspective, probably reading a piece by someone with a U.S. perspective. How can you possibly write accurately about Malaysia if you've never grown up there, don't know the social customs, don't know what people do there, don't know the slang, don't have friends or relatives there, never had a job there, never went to school there, never eaten the food there, never cooked the food there, etc. Bias exists because you can't possibly write about something you have no perspective on, and you can't find a good writer with relevant perspective on every single event in the world; there will never be unbiased news because it is impossible to get perspective on every event.

Since when did 0-60 numbers matter so much? I bet most Tesla owners don't even know then acceleration numbers for their previous cars. Tesla puts it front and centre (being an advantage over some ICE), and now we hear it in every conversation. Tesla advertised it for their transport truck for crying out loud.

Hate to break it to people, but 0-60 times aren't really relevant day to day, and a sub 5 second time in a $50k+ luxury car is not exceptional (the ~3 second times of the bigger models are another story).
