We sort of hired one. Would you count industrial metal, alternative metal, or nu metal? He had a song that was nominated for a Billboard Music Award.

So far, he has behaved well. We got him using a normal computer keyboard. This is better for software development than the keyboard he had in the band.
Where are you seeing/hearing locals saying this?

So far the only source I've seen for this is PG&E's own report, which found bullet holes on the pole and on some other equipment nearby, but didn't establish the age of the holes or that they in any way contributed to the fire.

Considering that there are already a couple of experienced law firms shopping their services to affected residents, and that 100% liability for PG&E represents their best chance of financial recovery, I'd be quite surprised if residents were going around saying, "...uh, yeah, so actually we did that one to ourselves."

"without shouldering the burdens"

Amazon would still pay plenty of taxes there, as well as their well-paid employees. It would have been of enormous net benefit to NYC.
Really? I'd say this reflects more poorly on NYC and their politicians than Amazon. Every other city that bid for HQ2 would have likely received them with open arms.
That’s literally her platform. She’s an inexperienced socialist dem. Not sure why you expected anything different.
All these seem like more or less products that are variations and extensions of things already existing. Indeed, a lot of them are solutions in search of a problem. Robot dexterity has indeed been increasing for a long time but has been held back back by computational complexity of interacting with the world. Cancer treatments relying on the immune system have been tried over and over again and have failed for a similarly period, undone by the complexity of cancers. Carbon sequestering in various forms is often talked about but none of them make much sense compared simply stopping profligate carbon release (sure, once that stops and things are still bad, then this maybe but stopping release is always going to be the most cost effective until we some serious reduction).

So either the complexity of modern society means world-change innovation has become vanishingly small or Gates is pushing products of some pals rather than taking a serious look at possibilities.

Absolutely correct, if you read my posts then you'll see that I expose both myself and my ideas to quite some considerable degree. I'm under no illusion that all my attempts at blocking Google's spying will not work here.

I've never had the need to hide myself on the web, rather it's that I've been forced to, or at least to try to hide parts of my private data—none of which I'm ashamed about.

It's the underhanded and egregious way Google, Facebook, et all have gone about it that hurts and which I find so objectionable.
"If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we wanted to. We could hire out more teachers. We can fix our subways. We can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

"Incredibly, I have heard city and state elected officials who were opponents of the project claim that Amazon was getting $3 billion in government subsidies that could have been better spent on housing or transportation. This is either a blatant untruth or fundamental ignorance of basic math by a group of elected officials. The city and state 'gave' Amazon nothing. Amazon was to build their headquarters with union jobs and pay the city and state $27 billion in revenues. The city, through existing as-of-right tax credits, and the state through Excelsior Tax credits - a program approved by the same legislators railing against it - would provide up to $3 billion in tax relief, IF Amazon created the 25,000-40,000 jobs and thus generated $27 billion in revenue. You don't need to be the State's Budget Director to know that a nine to one return on your investment is a winner."
Word. That sounds right. One of the challenges we've been up against is just figuring where these contractors are actually spending their time. Thanks for the tip.
Things get better with scale. If an existing local business could create 25-40,000 new jobs and generate $27 billion in new tax revenue, they'd also be able to get a $3 billion dollar tax break.

Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | $80k-$150k |

https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 400 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 24 states.

We've raised $180M in Venture Capital since 2015 and we're scaling rapidly. To do that, we're looking to bring on more exceptionally talented engineers. Whether you're just getting started out in software development or someone who is looking to lend your experience in leadership to a rapidly scaling engineering organization, we plan on doubling our engineering team in the next year alone. So, you're in luck.

Our tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. However, we're not only looking for people with experience in our stack but rather we're looking for experienced technologists with sound engineering fundamentals using any technology.

Email us at either chris.evans@joinroot.com or tim.hill@joinroot.com to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.
It's still much better than the presidential system, because you don't get deadlocks between the executive and legislative branches that last indefinite amounts of time. The legislature picks the executive (instead of the voters electing him separately and on a different cycle), so the two branches tend to be in agreement. And the voters are able to change the makeup of parliament to some extent at every election.

Also, parliamentary countries seem to have elections based much more on party rather than actual people, so they have more parties with representation, instead of devolving to just two parties per Duverger's Law.
FYI for slack I see a button for "All Threads" or "New Threads" at the top of the left sidebar. Here you can see all your threads in full width glory (instead of crammed into the sidebar which I agree is annoying).

The guy working at the deli may have sold more inventory. New deli shops would have opened up, creating more jobs. Using the deli guy as a pawn for your political agenda.. not cool. Not understanding basic economics and speaking on behalf of deli-guy who probably has a solid grasp of supply and demand. Not cool.
You might want to check what "strict liability" means for the relevant offenses. Certainly in the UK a hoster who didn't immediately choose to take down CP would not find a court order, they'd be raided and prosecuted.

The word middle-class will probably be redefined by economists (or fought over, anyway) this decade. Right now, it seems anybody with a job and an apartment is considered middle-class, regardless of the fact that they could become homeless or dead at the first slip on ice.

Apparently my friends and I all pulling in the ~150k range salaries are also middle class, just, uh, "upper middle class." Doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
Wow thanks gender neutral guy... but actually I was referring to the language of the article.

The article doesn't seem to mention the concept of a liquidation preference. Your 1% could be worth $0, even in a $50M exit.

When starting out in a city, these companies often have a chicken & egg problem around getting to critical mass.

To solve this, they must offer guaranteed minimums to drivers to maintain an available network even with low ridership. Without that, passengers are unlikely to find an available ride and will easily give up on the app.

Those guaranteed minimums are expensive, but are true one-time costs. They are no longer needed once the network is established.
Finnish is a synthetic language that uses heavily agglutination morphology to express syntactic relationships.

All those examples are grammatically correct but most of them are never used in written or spoken language. Instead of having few cases you learn and actually use, there is a set of rules you can use to build new words. Real spoken or written language is not using all what is grammatically available.

Well that's a big difference.
Nope. It has a housing crisis because policymakers and NIMBYs (whether wealthy SFH owners who bought into the inflation, or poor 'only approve if 100% affordable' housing types) block development.

What baffles my mind is people who think shutting down business is the way out. Which is what's happening in SF. Look at all the empty storefronts (now they want to tax landlords for keeping empty storefronts).

Whether you're being extorted based on your race, or trying to navigate all the permitting, it costs too much to do business here. That's why the storefronts are empty. Both on at the local level and even on the level of Tesla and Juul (who is leaving SF for many reasons including passing of more taxes for big local business, and attempts to ban corporate cafeterias in the city.).

The policymakers, many of whom have never done anything in the private sector are arrogant and corrupt to believe they can socially engineer people's behavior on all levels. I'm more inclined to believe shutting down the government would get more done (theoretically, notwithstanding existing gov employees).

You don't hear the stories of latino families who bought a house in the Mission for 50k in 1975 who then sold it for $1.5M in 2015. Or the people happy their neighborhood no longer has the violence it once did. You only hear the people who complain. Who are unable to adapt and take advantage of the incredible opportunity to grow themselves and their family. Maybe they should move to Flint, Michigan?

But then again, yea, keep hoods yours. Stave off the all evil racist (white) 'gentrifiers'...

And lastly, let me guess, you are not in poverty? But you know what's best for people who are? (Just checking)
Sorry, but this is just spin.

Of course the city was giving them something - that's what the $3b in "tax relief" was about.
I believe it was just name and email to register interest. Haven't filled in any additional application or financial details as far as I can remember (it was so long ago now that I applied).
My experience is the same. High/Middle schoolers (circa late 90s early 2000s) would remember every little detail if you did something embarrassing. The most notorious would usually come with a nickname to cement it.

This story is very heavily straw manned to make a point, but I can believe that social media would amplify my above experience by magnitudes, so it's not unjustified. I just don't believe that Brian would have been quite so lucky back in 2008 either.
There are 45 values to choose from and teams select (and rank) the 8 that best describe their engineering culture. I then work closely w/ them to qualify them (aka cut the fluff, answer tough questions, and "prove" it).
These kind of conversations are definitely what make topics like this exasperating in HN, if people have to litigate the meaning of "middle class" from scratch (including requisite visits to the dictionary) it makes talking about complex social issues completely impossible.
The program in question mainly benefits small and medium sized businesses, Amazon was an exception. So no, in fact, Amazon was not playing by any different rules than any other business expanding in or relocating to NY state.

I think the problem here is that it's legal to post content of minors without parental consent on the Internet, but more specifically on the major platforms that minors use.

When my child's daycare wants to work with the local university to do a behavioral study of toddlers, they ask for parental consent to film interactions. I can decline. Actively preventing disclosure without consent is beneath the major platforms; at best, it's a checkbox at sign up.

What should the age limit be? COPPA says 13 but these platforms oppose, resist, or pay that lip service to that.

> Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook, has expressed opposition to COPPA and stated "That will be a fight we take on at some point. My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age." [1]

Maybe that age limit should be raised to 16, and maybe harsh GDPR-style privacy fines should be assessed against platforms that fail to prevent usages that violates COPPA.

I ended up signing with Xinja. There was a wait period there too, but I think it was no more than a month for them to sort out the regulatory approval to be a 'bank' and send a card out to me. Probably easier for them being an AU based company.

Huge B5 fan here as well, watched them all (multiple times) as they came out.

Honest question: does anyone know of any TV series that had a firm, 5 (or multi-year) arc planned out in detail years before any filming began?

Babylon 5 got funded when JMS described, in detail, the last scene of the last episode in the last season.

There were flash forward scenes in season 2 that took place in season 4. Two years later, they meshed together perfectly.

Has any other show been like that? I'd love to know. (:
I'm Chinese-American, and literally every Chinese person (from China) I've talked to knows about June 4, 1989. (So much so that it's colloquially referred to as 六四 or "six four".)

Most merchants I've dealt with accept a transaction in the mempool as enough confirmation of payment, which makes it nearly instant.

Technical solutions to problems like slow block times exist, but the engineering part is hard. Just like there's no technical reason why Linux can't be succesful for desktops, it takes time to implement all the details that make it a smooth experience. We'll get there eventually.

Companies kinda need to be in NYC if they want access to the talent pool there. So if NYC gains a reputation of being hostile to big tax breaks for companies, that's not going to really change corporate behavior, except in the desired direction.

And as for what individual people who don't live in NYC think about the city, it really doesn't matter. It is and will for the foreseeable future remain the preeminent metropolis in the United States. What someone who lives in St. Louis or Atlanta thinks about it is of no importance.

> An ACH transaction between two North American banks usually arrives on the next business day (if you place it before the cut-off time).

I keep hearing this, but out of the many banks I've tried I've never once seen this happen. I just looked at a recent transaction; email shows I initiated it at 9:18am PST on Jan 30 (which could be past the cutoff if it was noon EST), the withdrawal account shows the money deducted on Jan 31, and the deposit account shows it landing on Jan 1--one business day, right? Nah, or at least I'm not informed of them on those days. I don't see them show up for another day or two. When the money does show up in the account, it's often "not available" for another day or two. I'm just one dude who happens to have a few different banks for savings and my wife's account and tries to pay bills on time. This was also a thing when I was pooling money for a mortgage downpayment. I can't imagine running a business.

It frustrates me that for a country that deifies financial markets and capitalism will ignore liquidity like this (even between accounts owned by the same entity). 1 business day (before the cutoff!) still isn't that great. The docs I found about same-day ACH said it was approved in 2015 and only rolled out last year...and it looks like they charge a fee per transaction[1][2]

Warning: nerd at work. The question may be ambiguous. To highlight: compare "what's the oldest software you still use today" to "what's the oldest software you use today". The first one refers to software you have been using over a longish(?) period and the second to software that may be old that you are using even though you may have only begun using it. I hope my pedantry (pedanticism?) isn't too inane...

UI is exactly why I prefer Slack over Discord as well. I run a Discord server for a game of mine with a few hundred people, and often have to force myself to use it. That said, I used to feel the same way about Reddit.
You're not wrong, but in my view, this argument is exactly what the problem is.

Quantity discount is OK when you're buying food or bus tickets. Not when you're paying taxes.

Notice I did not say that Amazon would not be paying taxes or that it would not be a net benefit for New York. It is however a detriment to small businesses across the country and to our society as a whole.

It's harmful in a similar way to how selling your mother's jewellery for a crack hit is harmful. the local high is not worth the long-term effects for New York or society.
