I didn't RTFA, but I'm going to chime in anyways.

I think if you're drinking 2 or more diet beverages a day, you probably have a "fuck it" attitude when it comes to your health. And that attitude probably pervades the rest of your decisions you make in your life.

Even the people I know who couldn't care less about their health all talk about not wanting to get cancer from drinking diet sodas, especially those containing aspartame.

Good luck with that - if you have a California license plates, drivers license, or they can prove you show up pretty frequently to a California located job - you are going to get caught doing this and fined extensively.

Also, WTF: You took advantage of all of the infrastructure of a state to get rich and now you don't want to contribute back? Shame on you and may karma come around for you.
> 80 percent of payday loans are taken out within two weeks of a previous payday loan

That statistic sounds misleading. Suppose you have one guy who takes out a payday loan every two weeks (in a cycle of debt, causing more harm than good), and six guys who take out a payday loan once a year (helping with emergencies, causing more good than harm). In that scenario, two things are simultaneously true:

- 80% of loans cause more harm than good.

- For 6/7 people, the loans cause more good than harm.

Of course the story is more complex than that. It could be that the harm to the one guy is much larger than the benefit to the other guys. But anyway looking only at the 80% number is missing a lot of the story.
This is a nice little tool. The more I find myself running a full stack application local (when not in Docker), lsof is quite useful. Will try this out for sure!

And this is why I think Boeing is hitting it on the nose again with it's 797 project. A bigger plane optimized for shorter ranges. Those 10 times a day flights between city X and city Y currently being done with a 737 will turn into five flights a day with a 797. Bingo you've got 5 slots back.

The problem with that view is that it assumes consciousness is correlated with mind. It may seem reasonable that, since I have consciousness and a mind, and you have a mind, I can assume you have consciousness, but there is no way to prove this. Does someone with Down Syndrome, who has a less functional mind than you or I, correspondingly have less consciousness? Perhaps, but we have no way of knowing.

AKA the CCleaner clause. Did Piriform get sued over that incident?

Although as TablePlus worded it, it comes across like they want to be able to intentionally add malware to their software and get away with it. I'm no lawyer so I'm not sure how feasible it would be to add a "due to circumstances outside our control" subclause of some kind.
> The state of California treats capital gains just like any other income, levying a 13.3 percent state tax on sales of stock. For someone sitting on tens of millions of dollars in private stock — life-changing money for some — it’s not a small concern.

Yes, it literally is! It's 13% - that's about the same as sales tax in many places and nowhere near AOC's 70% tax. This is greed, plain and simple. 99% of the world would do almost anything to have this "problem".

Hey Hackernews!

My names Olly (a Designer from the UK). I’ve been a long time lurker on Hackernews but now I finally have something to share with the community. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I guess that’s natural right!? Along with my friend Oliver (Developer, Sweden/Japan) we have been working on Remotewise.io. It’s a new resource and learning platform dedicated to remote work.

We’ve both been working remotely for most of our careers. Over this time remote work has been gaining huge momentum as a viable and desirable way to work and we believe it’s the future. We’ve been working on this during our evenings and weekends in between our full-time remote roles, so we’re really excited to be putting it out for you guys. We’d really appreciate any feedback as I’m sure many of you are remote workers yourselves or thinking about going that route.

You can check it out here: https://remotewise.io

So, why did we create Remotewise.io? We noticed it was often tricky and time consuming to find quality and relevant content about remote work and the companies which champion it. We wanted to create a focused, discoverable and beautifully curated list of resources so that you can learn from the leaders in the industry, what it takes to work as a highly effective remote team and how to nurture a healthy remote culture. We see the site as a learning and discovery platform that in the process helps you find the best company fit for you, hopefully taking the pain out of searching for that perfect remote role.

We’re launching a weekly newsletter too so if you’re into it sign up and receive the latest updates.

We’d love to hear your feedback as it’s really early days for us and we’re excited about where we could take it. You can also reach us at hello@remotewise.io or tweet us @remotewise.

Massive thanks,
Olly & Oliver
> if this were an Electron UI, would we instantly have a Linux version as well?

Many Electron apps are only written in JS without any (or no neccessary) platform specific code, but some also interface with the platform. In this case, if it just calls lsof through the shell and the versions are the same, it might actually just work. If it ships with its own binary it'd need to be switched out.
I was referring to American culture, not human culture in general. North Korea, for example, has the largest sport stadium and their human displays at that stadium are hundreds of years ahead of American ones. But that's North Korea and the culture that is there. You can have fantastic stadium displays, but building a road and a car to go onto it is impossible.
As a NordVPN user I can say that it's not only marketing that they are good at. For example not many VPNs I've tried were as good as Nord in regards to unblocking geo-restricted content. I found Nord quite consistent in that sense. They did have a strange issue with all the servers missing from the MacOS app, but it was literally sorted in 5mins when I reached out to their CS.
As opposed to the crippling health effects of fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are causing harm on a global scale orders of magnitude more than nuclear. And not just physical harm to humans, but ecological and economic harm as well.

Nuclear is by far the lesser of the two evils, providing baseload level amounts of carbon neutral energy with nearly a century lifespan, highly regulated and being far, far safer than any competing energy source.
"So long as both understand the details of the contract, it's legal."

That is not a correct description of contract law. There are numerous other conditions that can invalidate a contract, and "usurious lending" would not particularly stand out if it was added to the list. You already can't outright sign a contract that sells yourself into slavery; it wouldn't be that big a change to prevent signing yourself into indentured servitude, even partial indentured servitude.

Judicial scrutiny? Nonsense. Of course they could regulate it. They regulate payday loans now they just don't regulate them effectively. Arguably by design.

The financial services industry in the United States is one of the most highly regulated industries in the world and both the Federal and State governments have well-established and sweeping authority to address the problem posed by payday loans. They choose not to because their PAC donors are the payday lenders not the borrowers.

The Nuclear Option
There's nothing inherently wrong with the structure of a single payday loan. Ultimately it's a fee for a service. It sucks to need one, but sometimes you need to take your lumps.

The problems are

(a) when the fees aren't clearly expressed (disclosure laws are OK, not perfect, about making sure people see "Your loan of $X will cost $Y, at %ZZZ APR")

(b) debt that isn't repaid in one cycle, leading to repeated loans. There should be a limit of 1 or 2 payday loans per year, after which it's clear that the borrowing is unsustainable, and the borrower should either find a proper long-term loan or make a sacrifice (sorry, libertarians).

The only way out of these predatory loan cycles is for poor people to act like rich people -- take out a big loan and refuse to pay it back, then file bankruptcy (aka "get off the gride and live a cash-only lifestyle so creditors can't find you").

The US Consumer Finance Protection Bureau was working on this problem before Trump Administration gutted it.

I was driving home from Vancouver to Kamloops one night through the coastal range to BC's interior on Highway 5 somewhere between the Coquihalla summit and Merritt - I don't recall exactly where on the road I was, possibly close to Kingsvale (Approx. 50°N). It was pitch dark when it began, no city lights and so many stars, so bright, they were endless. That stretch of highway is spectacular on a clear night. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I used to drive that stretch once every couple of weeks for about a year after I moved to Canada at the end of 1999, so it would've been that winter season. I used to take the mid-afternoon Friday flight from Heathrow so I would've landed in Vancouver at around 5:30pm and by the time I got my car out of long term parking and got to that point it would have been around 9pm or so.

The Aurora was so close and so vivid and bright it seemed as if it was intruding into the car, close enough to touch if you could touch it, but it's like trying to touch a rainbow, you just can't. It screws with your brain. I pulled over on the side of the highway and got out. They were vivid hues of green, pink and yellow and they were bright enough in the dark that even without the lights of my car, I could see clear detail of the landscape, brighter than if lit by a full moon, but not quite like daylight. The entire sky lit up as far as you could see with pillars of light that ebbed and waned like a symphony of light and colour. There was nothing faint or subtle about it. I could see the hairs on the back of my hand it was so bright. Even my description fails to capture its beauty.

The oddest thing about having experienced that was it was so blurry, it screwed with my eyes and my brain. Not being able to focus on it was like driving in thick fog. Despite it being a magical and mesmerizing experience, I felt some discomfort. I couldn't look at it for longer than a few seconds at a time before I had to look back to the road and hillside so my eyes could focus on something.

Using this argument as a justification for eating meat is silly, since meat animals must also eat plants and therefore more plants are consumed per calorie when you eat meat than when you don't. To argue that if plants suffer then eating meat is no worse is to argue that increased suffering is no worse than decreased suffering simply because suffering still exists.
Yeah, it's a few orders of magnitude too small.
I've been through my fair share of forced rankings on both sides of the barrier. Despite of all my skepticism, the whole experience was pretty reasonable:

- in small teams quotas are enforced pretty loosely. Everybody understands that in a team of five engineers all five can be good and smart

- on the other hand, everybody understands that out of hundred people in the department there will be a couple of underperformers.

- a department head may claim that all his one hundred people are brilliant, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

- usually there is a surprising consensus about who belongs to where. Yes, there are occasional clashes between the managers about whose guy is "brilliant" and whose is "exceptionally brilliant", but I've never ever seen a smart person being force ranked into a "bad" bucket

You're probably just an big crybaby.
This looks fantastic. Most similar tools I've found are only suitable for inspecting published endpoints and ignore the task of helping devs author the schemas in the first place.

My concern is around monetization. Most devs only author schemas from scratch very occasionally, and then primarily use the output or just make minor tweaks as the system grows (yes, there are a small number of enterprise architects who design schemas constantly, but they are rare enough and use tools like this rarely enough that Microsoft already removed much of its architectural design tooling from the high end Visual Studios SKUs because their research showed it was not used enough to justify the maintenance cost).

Highly intermittent usage by normal devs doesn't lend itself well to a subscription model. Focusing on a tiny number of high usage enterprise architects forces much higher per seat pricing because the volume is so low, further lowering the volume. "One-month access" or similar less-than-a-year time limited access doesn't lend itself well to "I don't know how long this will take for me to design." Annual pricing probably ends up needing to be high enough that devs will simply fall back to what they were doing, which is use a text editor with no specialized visualization.

It looks like a fantastic product. I'm worried it's much less fantastic a business.

Same.

I remember having to be pulled out of my 'special needs' class to go to the auditorium for a small celebration recognizing the students who has scored highest on the standardized reading comprehension exams.

I won a pizza party for my english class because I had the highest score of any student in the entire middle school.

The two eighth grade honors classes had been competing to see which of them would get it.

They were pissed to loose it to the sixth grade remedial english class.

That was about the time I started to lose respect for the US school system.
Digging up people's distant pasts to use as ammunition against them in the present is a dick move. I don't know anything about Bryan, and I think this particular video is so-so on its own merits, but I don't think that it's appropriate to bring up an email he sent in 1996 to dismiss his arguments.

People and countries are different. They spend money on high speed rail and therefore don't spend money on something else. That something else can be a billion different things. I don't miss high speed rail, but I do like owning a car much larger than a Japanese person with my income can afford. I can also fill it up and go anywhere I want to go whenever I want to go there, without regard for train schedules, train seating availability, train passengers that like to eat curry on the train, train passengers that talk a lot, etc... I'm not sure simply comparing countries on whether they have high speed trains or not really answers anything at all. I think the only thing I can kind of gather is that the Japanese like high speed trains and American are ambivalent to them.
Very interesting, and although I have little to no experience with reading the bible, I have to say that everything Alter is quoted as saying in this article makes obvious sense to me.

The difficulties translators have with any text should be a reminder of how painfully inadequate any language is as a mediator between two different brains. So much depends in context.

> Perhaps the first person to openly suggest otherwise was Baruch Spinoza, the 17th-century Jewish philosopher, who daringly wrote that the books of the Bible ought to be studied in just the same way we would study Greek and Italian poetry.

This, 100 times. I am not a religious person at all. However, it makes me extremely sad if self-proclaimed "atheists" make fun of the the Bible / Torah / Koran by pointing out how unrealistic almost all of the texts are. Of course they are unrealistic - but so are the works of Shakespeare, or Dante, or Goethe, or any great poet in the last 3000 years. Yet nobody would ridicule Dante for assuming that hell lies in some cave in Tuscany. If you just dismiss these religious texts as opium for the dull medieval masses, you might miss some deep poetical truths about mankind that just cannot be stated explicitly because of the shortcomings of any human language described above.
I like to think that when I see such really nice behaviour, I should supply positive reinforcement since I know how much such things can matter to people. Eg I had a really nice commuter bus ride, when about to go off, I went to the driver and said thanks, I enjoyed the ride, it was very smooth etc. I could tell this person took pride and enjoyment in doing it. I also called his employer and gave praise (using the bus number), hopefully this is reflected professionally for him too.

So you don't have to be a user to show appreciation ;)

> * Selling their debt is quite profitable for payday lenders, so they are incentivized to make bad loans.

Debt collectors know that they probably can't collect most of the paper they buy. This is especially true for non-exclusive paper and so they buy it for pennies on the dollar. Bad loans are one of the major losses (after employee expense and legal fees) for most payday lenders.

> * Payday lenders nearly universally skip around federal and state regulations by incorporating in Indian tribal areas

The Scott Tucker case shows the courts have decided not to allow the rent-a-tribe defense unless the tribe truly owns/operates the company. Having them get 1% of the profits and a couple call center style jobs isn't enough to make a payday lender be considered a tribal company anymore.

Source: Wrote the lending software for payday lenders.

Edit: To be clear, pennies on the dollar tends to mean less than $0.10/dollar average for debt purchasers. The loan company is losing over 90% of the principal they loaned out and are obviously not collecting the additional interest/fees that make these types of loans so expensive to pay back.
>the whole experience was pretty reasonable: in small teams quotas are enforced pretty loosely.

Any set of rules can appear reasonable in practice when people ignore the rules when their results would be unreasonable.
It depends on how respect is defined as well. Ask any school child about being demanded respect(obedience) for respect(treated like a person).

Some may literally consider honesty more important than concern for feelings.

It is also a somewhat cultural thing - in some it is rude to ask politely to someone well known to "please pass" as opposed to "gimme". Etiquite is ironically very contextual.

> Please. Brexit is due to a number of factors, most of them fairly irrational and built over decades of lies from the British press and British politicians. The people shouting to “take back control” don’t know what that “control” even means, and most of them are completely ignorant of how their own government operates, let alone the EU.

Quite the assertion, and ironic with Project Fear in full swing. There is of course the question of how much understanding is needed of how the EU works to want to take back control. 'Can national laws override an EU law? No? We need control!'
And 99% of the world would act in the same way if they had the luxury of that problem. I understand why Leftist populists love attributing some sort of exceptional immorality to the wealthy, but people act on incentives. Give them an incentive to leave and they will leave.

> 2. There are people who choose to not get bank accounts and do their banking at payday loan stores despite the obvious costs.

Most of these people are not unbanked by choice. They can't afford a bank account. It sounds crazy to most of us because our bank accounts are "free" but they often have stipulations attached: minimum balances, direct deposit, x number of transactions per month. And don't forget how quickly overdraft charges can add up. People who are making minimum wage and living paycheck to paycheck simply can't afford all of the costs that come with having a bank account because it's actually cheaper for them to use a payday lender than to pay $75 in overdraft fees at the end of every month.

I strongly doubt it: larger planes simply don't sell, this is not specific to the A380. Let's look one size below:

On Airbus side the second biggest airliner is the A350-1000: very light, top notch engines -> 170 orders so far, very underwhelming, and the project of a bigger A350-2000 has been postponed due to a lack of interest. On Boeing side the 777-9 (not yet flying) has even more modern engines, a super light wing, and besides Emirates nobody is buying it...

We probably shouldn't be focusing so much on who is fighting this matter and for which ideological reasons, because we're talking about a legal framework. Those who challenge that framework may well be trolls, but the fact that they are troll is orthogonal to the legal outcome.
