At only a bachelor's degree, a nurse gets $70k / year on the average. It is a field that is expected to grow dramatically, even more so than computers.

Outside of Comp. Sci / IT fields, Registered Nurse is one of the most highly paid bachelor's level jobs out there.

If you find a hospital willing to train you up to a Masters Degree to become a Nurse Practitioner, you get well over 100k on the average.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/nurse-anesthetists-nurse-...

Nursing is a field with immediate job opportunities upon graduation, with the ability to train up to 100k+ jobs if you can find a post-secondary training program.

DESPITE that, Americans don't typically go into nursing school. So we have to import immigrants. Culture is way deeper than just offering a steady job, a good paycheck, and promotion opportunities. The fact of the matter is, we have a nursing shortage despite it being a decent job.

This country needs 15% more Registered Nurses and 30% more Nurse Practitioners over the next decade. And currently, nurses are one of the most overworked jobs because there aren't really enough of them around.

> If illegal immigrants

Illegal immigrants typically don't become nurses. That's totally a different subject. In any case, if there is an illegal immigrant working as a nurse, I'm inclined to say that they should stay, due to our incredible nursing shortage across this country.

>It seems unlikely to me that the DNS client has the sophistication to know that it's not Google's 8.8.8.8 that it's talking to.

DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS will change that. Google has pushed encryption in all their other products, and is pushing these implementations so do not be surprised when their end user devices use it by default.
Cash is pretty expensive too.

In Chicago I saw first hand how it turned the Mayor into everyone's favorite punching bag:

Housing prices go up. Developers move in and scoop up desirable properties, remodel the kitchen, paint it grey, and sell to a young tech worker for 3-4x what they bought the property for or demo a 100 year old beautiful greystone and put up a modern shipping container on stilts with 8 apartments and no parking.

Property values go up, long time residents are getting older. The ones who CAN move sell first and you get a runaway housing bubble. The ones who CAN'T move? They're on a fixed income. They need public services but they can't afford more taxes. Property taxes go up. Sometimes older people on fixed income can get a freeze, but taxes go up anyway. More people, more services.

People don't like taxes going up so either you put it off as long as you can while services atrophy and you make it the next guy's problem, or eventually schools start going bankrupt. Teachers go on strike, not enough police, not enough money to keep up transit and infrastructure, and you've got a lot of upper middle class people living in a very expensive post-apocalyptic hell hole.

That's Chicago.
Is a person that operates a fully automatic coffee machine a barista?

I love a good espresso but you can‘t even get that at most places. A lot of people seem to like Starbucks I don‘t think they serve a good espresso. It seems to me that they specialize in hot milkshakes and not coffee.
I haven't heard any of the DNC leaders pushing this agenda in any strong manner, also the only reason it might seem like it's loud is maybe due to the fact of conservative outlets pushing the narrative.

In regards to an Immigration plan the DNC has time and time again pushed for reforms and debate but nothing has been done not because they are not willing, primarily because the other party loves to lambaste any idea or reform immediately as "open borders" or "Amnesty" when it could be no further from the truth, this is nothing new for us, unfortunately it's just a political cycle at this point.

Splitting username and password across two different steps:

Google recently switched to this model/workflow, but for good reason. They introduced support for integration with third-party authentication (using SAML) so that you could authenticate to your Google account using your own company's auth as it's source of truth (AD or Duo or whatever). And since it decides whether or not you need a password based on your username, you can't ask for both at the same time.

Curse it all you want, but forcing all DNS lookups to be resolved by a particular server is often an important security measure.

We've been using this in production at the company I work at for about the past ~1.5 months. We've gone through a fair number of fixes and improvements throughout that time (bugs, race conditions, performance, etc.). It's definitely still a nascent project, but we're excited to continue using Purview and developing it. Would love to get your thoughts if you try it out sometime.
This really drives me nuts. You get this long article about the "discerning coffee connoisseur", and yet you have a picture of the robot pouring coffee in a paper cup.

To me this is exactly like seeing an article about sommelier and a picture of a guy drinking wine from a paper cup. Well no it's actually much worse: wine is rather cold compared to coffee so it doesn't extract the taste of paper and plastic as much as coffee does.

I really really can't understand how anyone would spend over $2 (often significantly more) to drink anything out of a disposable container. One espresso costs them at most $0.20 in beans, electricity and water, you mark it up 10 times, you gotta give me the option of a ceramic or glass cup. Compare that with a glass of wine, which usually is marked up only 2-3 times in a restaurant...
Burning Man Disinvites Super-Elite Camp for Extremely Fancy People
Isn’t that limitation because up until now it’s always been people, but in the future could include robots or trained (non human) animals?
One possible way to exploit this is:

- user copy-and-pastes password
- user forgets to clear clipboard
- user opens a link in a new tab with middle-click
- link was actually a text form
- middle-click pasted the password into the textfield

(only on platforms with middle-click configured as paste)

I noticed this when I had an image url in my clipboard and tried on open a link on imgur.com in a new tab. Instead of opening the link, the image url in my clipboard was uploaded.

The Second Amendment claims that the right to keep and bear arms is necessary for a free state, and that the Federal government cannot abridge this right. Autonomous, weaponized robots can be considered arms - certainly, their autonomy doesn't make them any less of an armament than a rifle or a handgun. Therefore, the right to keep and bear armed autonomous robots is necessary for a free state.

>If people agree the Constitution should be enforced in this way, what are the necessary legislative, executive or judicial procedures to enable it?

There are none. The Second Amendment already allows it, and provides the means to enable it - we build an army of killer robots and use them against the government should it try to abridge our right to deploy an army of killer robots against them.

Doesn't violence emerge naturally as soon as the concept arise of property ownership, protecting the safety of oneself (or one's family or one's community), and trade of any sort?

Because all of those beget law or government and those require violence if they are to be enforced at all.

If not, then the incentive arises for individuals to be violent because then you can just "have" whatever you desire if you are willing to be violent and no one else is.

CafeX in San Francisco is pretty nice, the major advantage is that it takes up very little space (which saves a lot of money due to the high rents in SF) and it's pretty fast, I generally get my coffee there much faster than from a local Starbucks or Blue Bottle.

I don't expect automated cafes to be as good in every way, but if they can get 80% of the way there with higher speed or lower costs they'll have my business.

> in fact they're being paid to fake that passion

So it's better to have professional models in ads being paid to fake that passion rather than self-educated hobbyists?

The difference isn't "paid vs not paid", it's "model" vs "someone who consistently produces content about a topic". They're both getting paid, but theyachtguy at least started out with some passion for the topic, and you have a chance to evaluate how well theyachtguy's opinions match yours.
It's not simply a matter of "uncomfortable" syntactic sugar. It's a fundamental change from a statement to an expression.

Also, there is an elegance to the functional style of pattern matching. And C# has been incorporating a lot of functional paradigms for more than a decade now which may initially feel "out of place" but ultimately benefited the language greatly.

Questions of evidence and trust (or trust vs. faith) complicate our conversation, I think.

If you have consistent, major evidence that your wife does not love you, then it would be intellectually dishonest to believe she does. Some religious faith does the equivalent of this- believing in spite of evidence.

The way you're framing "faith" to me is closer to what I would consider "trust" which IMHO is basically faith of future truth based on current evidence of said truth.

Of course, the final wrench, is believers have sources that they think are evidence (holy books)- but that faux-evidence is not the kind I am referencing.
What does HN think of Google Invisible Recaptcha on login pages?

We have it implemented but have been receiving feedback lately that it doesn't play nicely in many cases (no Google account, private browser windows, privacy plugins, etc). I'm trying to decide whether to remove it.
This is nice, but is there a real world exploit, not a POC? Example: pulling session cookies for another site, or extracting an SSH private key?
Thank you very much for replying on this thread. It's absolutely a very useful feature and - when done in a standardized and privacy conscious way, I think it would absolutely be an enrichment for the web platform. (Can we extend the same for images, too, btw?)

I think the reason this sparked concern is because (by using fragments) this intrudes into a field that was previously under full author control.

I think clear guarantees about which aspects of a webpage are the responsibility of authors and which are under browser control are important - only going by real-world usage and assuming everything not directly used is free for the taking is not enough here.

E.g., I think there are failure modes for SPAs that are not easily found with a usage search. [1] Additionally, this would make it harder to know for new applications which kinds of fragment identifier are "safe" to use and which are not.

There seem to be some existing specs that deal with the same problem [2].

Maybe those could be a starting point for the feature to to forward without interop/responsibility problems?

It seems like an important book. And good points. But practically speaking, dismissing the entire culture as being technologically obsessed doesn't solve the real problems that we have related to technology and its interaction with society today.

I feel that a more useful definition for the word "technopoly" is to just to refer to the (real and specific) monopolistic technology companies that we interact with on a daily basis. Such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber, etc. Maybe on a deeper level part of the reason they have become so large is the "technopoly" that Postman is talking about. But in my opinion the more practical use of the word is to point out these specific companies.

And I guess my surface reading of the premise is that technology is not the only or the best framework for viewing the world. I will admit that I have a technology-centric worldview. Well, technology just means applying our knowledge to solving problems. In my opinion this is mostly sensible and rejecting it does not create progress. My view is that what needs to improve is our integration of technology into our social systems.
Doing that can be (barely) acceptable, provided that you also do two other things: make it clear to users that you're doing that, and allow a way for the user to change that behavior if they desire.
Browserpass doesn't have any problem with those.
Actually this is necessary in order to support federated auth.

Password managers have already figured out how to support this transparently, so it's a non-issue anymore... Including even Chrome's built in manager, which is not exactly cutting edge. If yours can't cope then it's a sign that your software isn't being actively maintained very well.
I am surprised that nobody mentions this similarly

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they also left out the question of financing. Since UBI needs to be financed, and would require a higher budget, taxes would need to be raised. If taking on a job would then hit you with 30% instead of 10% taxes, that would disincentivize it. These tests feel a bit like testing "free energy harvesting machines" and ignoring the power chord that runs from the machine being tested to a wall socket. That's the external source of money: the rest of the country.

I'm sure we can get a perfect example of UBI in, say, Switzerland, if we make France foot the bill. People in Switzerland will be happy: taxes stay the same, but everybody has $2000 more available per month. Alas: will the French be happy?

I'm surprised to see someone likes them, but after all there must be a reason if they exist. As someone who uses LastPass for pretty much every online form, I deeply hate magic login emails.

I'm fine with them existing, as long as you keep the classic email/password option. Something that usually takes me at most 5 seconds (wait for page to load and for LastPass to fill the fields, then click) ends up being a 30+seconds matter. How is this not terrible user experience???
> making sure to sample the espresso throughout the day to check for over or under extraction, and adjusting the grind to compensate for changes in air pressure and temperature.

Sounds like the perfect job for a computer. I highly doubt most baristas are checking atmospheric pressure or are even mindful of minute temperature charges throughout the day. Since these aspects are things that are monitor-able at high precision, it’s doubtful that your average barista is going to outperform a computer. The social aspects of the barista are a worthwhile, but unrelated debate.

You're still not getting it. It's not about how many X owners it takes to pool the money together to buy something obscenely expensive and wasteful. It's about the wealth disparity that makes it possible for just a few people to do something like that, especially given that the wealth disparity is based on rent-seeking (and frequently borderline-fraudulent) behaviors.

Login forms should 100% have an error state shown to the user when the problem is the captcha not loading, being sent, etc.

How is that simple? I know a lot of developers that couldn't easily do that.
It’s really not that hard. I ran a site for many years that interfaced with hundreds of different sites.

It could be as simple as not actively thwarting crawlers. Or in your example, they provide everything they have as an API and it’s up to the competitors to adapt to whatever features they provide. In which case, other companies can focus on the lowest common denominator and making that interoperable.

It’s not perfect or seamless, but the baseline isn’t that hard, and that’s good enough for most people.

And it’s funny you bring up messaging, for many years it was interoperable across many services via XMPP and it worked pretty well, until everyone decided it was in their competitive best interest to silo it. We really haven’t gained much in terms of innovation in that space since then, in many ways it’s much worse.
