IMHO it doesn't seem legit that they can initiate transaction for X amount, give you a receipt where you can write amount Y, and then charge you for X+Y sometime later.

I really don't want to deal with my bank if by some chance amount Y is not what I wanted.

From my (European) point-of-view this seems completely ridiculous, since here I see the actual amount before I have to swipe/insert the card into the device.

However, I completely agree with you that it's not fair to the restaurant/workers if they don't actually get the tip.
> We can't sit there and leave interests rates low forever.

Well, then can sit there for as long as we aren't seeing the negative effects of low interest rates. IE, inflation. Which we aren't seeing.

> If not now, when?

When inflation starts happening. That's when. But that is not happening now, so we are good.

It's really that simple. The whole point of raising inflation rates is to prevent high inflation. But if there isn't any high inflation then there isn't any problem!
sqlite doesn't '(currently)' do either of these though.
I have spent a little time flying in the left seat and right seat of real single engine aircraft (although I have never been in any Tesla.) I would say it's comparable, but a matter of degree. It is true that there is a much higher workload on the a/c pilot, especially on taxiing, takeoff, and landing. Pilots rely completely on their instruments during IFR.

I have the feeling safety would be an issue if I was fumbling around for the defroster menu item in the mountains rather than having it at hand when my windshield was rapidly fogging up--in any vehicle. (Ask me about my trip to Laramie, WY last week.) Driving off a cliff would be a bad day, too. What about the battery overheating indicator? I would rather that be in front of me too in an electric car. A chime could help in this situation, but what if people where honking at you while seeing smoke coming from your vehicle?

BTW, did you notice the redundant mechanical instrument cluster in the Cessna Mustang (located above the display with the map)--another design element that increases safety if you have a primary display failure...

> It was from the RAND study that the false rumor started claiming that the ARPANET was somehow related to building a network resistant to nuclear war. This was never true of the ARPANET, only the unrelated RAND study on secure voice considered nuclear war. However, the later work on Internetting did emphasize robustness and survivability, including the capability to withstand losses of large portions of the underlying networks.

Most of these companies aren't managing their own data centers at least for areas that use a large amount of compute. Banks and the like that have their own data centers, generally are still using some type of contractor to manage the physical real estate, network connections, ect. even if they are the ones purchasing the servers.
That’s a utopian view though. Institutions that were trustworthy became untrustworthy over time because of their own current actions. Who is in charge of establishing truthiness?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.
Who watches the watchmen.

The only logical and rational way to disseminate information in a free society is you put it all out there and let people make up their own damn minds.

I know it doesn’t appeal to the control freak side that is scarily manifesting itself everywhere lately, but if our schools were more focused on education instead of politics, logic instead of propaganda, we wouldn’t need to control narratives, we could just entrust people to make their own decisions.
There’s no need to re-submit the same articles over and over (whether with the same URL or a different one). Per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html, “If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.” Small is 2, maybe 3 if you really think it's great – particularly if it's not something you wrote.

Also, per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, “please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.“
Not at all, because the key distinction is what you are growing in. "Olympic class material" is very different from the spiritual growth in things like faith, love, peace that the Bible prescribes.

Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven veterinary medical records and practice management platform. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a couple full stack engineers to join our small and technical team to help bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' and veterinary staff needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. To do this, you’ll be working at every stage of patient care from the exam room to back-end analytics. Some examples of what your weeks may look like: creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time, designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders, or building a secure messaging platform for client and doctor communications.

You'll be working directly with the vets using Vetspire, and talking with them almost every day to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our front end is a React SPA using the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

As a former engineer at Lyft, looks like my RSUs would be worth ~2x my salary per year. Typical RSU grants are 25% of your salary per year, so those Lyft RSUs would have been a good return. But that's at a $18-25B valuation. I think $15B is more realistic given the losses and most recent round of funding. Lyft is in a tough industry. Kudos to Logan Green for getting this far. Good to see a UCSB alumn do well.
The biggest argument against bitcoin, in my mind is this:

Regulators really only get involved in allowing/prohibiting innovations very late in the game. I'm thinking of how Air BNB and Uber were allowed to grow really huge despite being blatantly in violation of a lot of laws in a lot of places (for example restrictions around subletting in contracts between tenants and landlords, regulations around running businesses that are hotels or taxis, etc). Only after they had gotten really big did regulators start to think about whether or not they like what's going on, and then they shut down large parts of the sharing economy.

For bitcoin there are only two scenarios in my mind: Either it dies right now for the problems it is facing right now (network externalities around lack of merchants/customers outside darknet/illegal stuff, volatility etc), or it overcomes those problems, gets really big, and is then killed by regulators.

For the most part the trend in regulation of financial services and financial reporting has been: erosion of banking secrecy (even Switzerland and tax havens in the Carribean are now sharing data with law enforcement), anti-money laundering regulation tightened (FATCA/CRS), increased requirements around creating transparency about ownership of legal entities in cross-border corporate structures (e.g. "persons of significant control" register introduced in the U.K. and many European countries), increased reporting obligations around cash transactions even for small businesses (parts of Europe are now mandating the introduction of electronic cash-registers capable of reporting on a transaction-by-transaction basis even for small businesses like a self-employed taxi driver), etc. etc.

Allowing bitcoin to happen would not fit into that regulatory trend AT ALL.

It's just that bitcoin isn't big enough yet for regulators to even be thinking about it. But it'll happen.

But that's not creating value. Unless the lottery creates value for people who buy the right tickets.
I think its a fair question. According to the article it seems most modeling is based on known occurrences on Earth which makes sense. Yet do we really know if these interactions work in a totally different planet environment? There are a lot of assumptions that go into this modeling work. No question it's good work. Yet it would be nice if the underlying assumptions and modeling data is open to public peer review. Especially since this is coming from a publicly funded institution.

All that said I think its really fascinating and hope the hypothesis holds up.

Ask HN: How do you get a job as a product manager?
I've never seen an entry level product manager job, only jobs that require years of experience. Is that a position that only happens through internal promotions at larger companies?

I didn't know until about a year ago that Product Management was even a thing, but I'm really interested in it. I'm a developer, but I'm way better at the strategic part of development than the nuts and bolts part. I've always been the guy who works with the executive team and the marketing team and the dev team to make sure we're all on the same page, building the right product for our needs and our client's needs.

So the question is, how do you get a job as product manager?

We at Mozilla are glad folks love MDN, but domain squatting kinda sucks for everyone. MDN can stand on its own. :)
You just give Authy a relatively simple password, and don't save it anywhere. If you don't have Authy in multi-device mode it will be impossible to activate another session, and if you do activate another session while in multi-device mode Authy will check if any other devices are active and if so will ping those devices with a verification request. It checks for an active device so that if you have only one device active and do a reinstall you can still activate.
I have my 2FA backup codes in Dropbox, which itself is behind 2FA.

In essence someone has to both get my 1Password password, 1Password secret key and either compromise my phone (for Authy) or my phone number (to recover 2FA backup codes via Dropbox SMS recovery), or my computer (for direct Dropbox access). But very few organisations have that amount of capability and I have nothing stored in my accounts that is worth that capability. If I had, I would store it behind GPG and a password that is only in my mind.

Also, to lose access I'd need to lose my 1Password secret key or forget Authy password + get logged out of all my Dropbox devices simultaneously. The chances of that are rather slim.

That's one of those ironic things that conservative state legislatures do. They're all for small government until a liberal city passes a law they don't like.
Right, but is this "selling $2 bills for $1" or is it "selling $1 bills for $1.10 and spending $1 billion to tell people about the offer"?

People have mistakenly accused both Uber and Amazon of doing the former when they were doing the latter.
The Meta-Circular Evaluator (2016)
There are tons of dog food sellers online. Chewys, Petco, Petsmart and many others. Amazon is usually more expensive.
That's not going to work until there are all-electric dealerships. Dealers don't like to sell EVs because they require much less service.
Don't forget, that rural infrastructure that is being 'subsidized' by urban centers serves a pretty important role in, you know, growing and delivering food consumed by those urban dwellers. Also: electricity production, natural gas extraction, and landfills. All that also requires local workers.

How much more do you think the urban populations would be paying for these essential products and services if you wanted to go tit-for-tat?
This also implies that the vast majority (if not all of their) loss is sales and marketing.
Yes. I pay my window cleaner this way.
None of these philosophies can be applied when the stakes get really high and personal.

Siding costs do not go up linearly with interior volume. This is basic geometry which I shouldn't have to explain on this forum.

Operational and maintenance costs are a different factor; we were talking about house price, and I went into construction cost. Operations costs are different, and consumers are pretty infamous for only looking at initial costs and not thinking about operational/maintenance costs. This is especially true with cars: people look only at the purchase price and don't think about how much gas costs, so they buy a giant SUV even though it gets 50% worse fuel economy, and then they complain about how much it costs to refuel.
Uhm... The article is several days old... https://twitter.com/tmincey/status/1097990987849158657
I don't understand, tbh. Eg does Rust not make great effort to prevent null pointer exceptions? OOB feels quite similar to null pointer.

It's strange to me because a lot of what I value in Rust is writing code that handles all outcomes safely and with confidence. Yet that all seems to be out the window if you access array values - as it may or may not work.

The safety of [] slice/array access is entirely up to how the dev wrote the code.. which largely feels the same as any other language.

Am I thinking about something incorrectly?

I would require VISA sponsorship, either TN (easier to get, available to Mexicans) or H-1B. I already went to the process of getting a J1 for my internship, which makes me a lot more comfortable with the process.

> The entire US system and political discourse is setup as right/wrong, black/white, right/left, and leaves no room for discussion.

While the US system is more polarized (and more bimodal) than lots of other modern democracies (largely as a consequence of the electoral system), and the mass-media-mediated public discourse further exaggerates that (Red v. Blue provides a simple, compelling overarching narrative framework), there's actually plenty of nuance and room for discussion, both on a common-citizen level (though you need to talk to people who are more wary of, and often require a better pre-existing relationship before, talking about politics to see it, because those people are tired of getting hit over the head with the orthodoxy on either side) and on an elite level (largely outside of casual public view, both because the participants don't really relish war with the ideologues and because the media isn't interested in nuance.)
