> I tend to agree, but you also have to recognize that by 30 years old, we shouldn't be treating people like children.

But we should be treating children like children and in America they largely inherit the disadvantages of their parents.

> It may have been harder or they may have had to work hard, but there's no reason to make the argument the opportunity wasn't there, because it typically is.

The evidence disagrees. Our Kids by Robert Putnam examines this exact issue. While there are many, here's a particularly sobering quote from the book: "high-scoring poor kids are now slightly less likely (29 percent) to get a college degree than low-scoring rich kids (30 percent)."
Look at the beer market. Total beer volume sold is falling. Employment in breweries has doubled since 2010.

Why? Because the market is fragmenting to smaller operations who employ more people per unit of beer produced.

You can argue that from both sides, that it's less efficient vs generates more jobs, of course.

If you really want to see the future of web design, learn about Webflow, don't buy into content marketing hype.
Every significant project I've worked on embedded the build host and build time in the resulting executable or firmware image. This was along with other static build information, like version number, compiler version and build flags.

Once you make the sensible choice to include build time in the result you've broken reproducibility. Fixing this means tracking down every package that does this and removing the timestamp.
> In Paris, as well as Athens, Madrid, Mexico City, Caracas, Santiago, Copenhagen, Budapest, and I imagine other cities for which I can’t find this information, metro stations are built cut-and-cover... There is extensive street disruption, for about 18 months in the case of Paris, but the merchants and residents get a subway station at the end of the works.

The cost of using a more expensive method ($750M per station vs $110) of building in order to prevent disruption to car traffic is almost always attributed to the cost of public transportation. But it seems to me like it at least partially should be considered a cost of maintaining car infrastructure.

Two main things, I think:

- coping with the variety of different patch systems used in Debian packages

- an integrated way of keeping track of which locally-built packages have been installed

Also of course getting pbuilder set up, and knowing that it's an option in the first place.

In an ideal world I'd like to be able to say that the only knowledge you need to modify one of the programs on your system is the language that the program is written in, rather than having to also fill your head with bits of distro-specific arcana.

I do think that things are better than they were even a few years ago (in particular, the variety-of-different-patch-systems situation is getting noticeably better).
Given my experience, I don't consider FAANG engineers any more qualified than other engineers on average. Actually, people coming out of agencies and consultancies that sell their development expertise are usually the most qualified candidates I interview, whereas FAANG companies are banking on hiring more engineers than anyone else and then building systems so even shitty engineers can productively contribute.
Have you used Webflow?
Can you show me your example code?

Also, assuming it scales up linearly is a bit risky, although I agree with that kind of conn/s I am sure it will be sufficient.

>Knowing the build was reproducible tells me nothing of value.

It does. It proves that the given package was produced by the given source code. However, you can keep the timestamp as well! One of the goals of reproducible builds is to record values like this so it can be replayed later at a future point in time. This is done by the BUILDINFO format.

> it makes sense for healthcare costs to be deductible period.

It's also hard to draw lines. Is Viagra covered, for example? This is one of the reasons there's a threshold — to make sure the deduction is only being granted where there are non-routine expenditures. The tax code views some level of medical expenditures as routine, and therefore non-deductible.

I really hope hydrogen fuel cells take over at some point.
From an end user point of view, probably the most important thing it allows Debian developers to do is verify that the binary packages they are shipping are the packages they intended to ship. You trust them, they have to trust their tools... so they're making sure their tools tell them about yet another situation when something might have gone wrong. (it could be something innocent or malicious, but without the tooling, they might not even be aware of the issue)

> The framers of the Constitution, having experienced a popular revolution, were hardly recommending that the will of the majority be ignored. The Constitution sought to fine-tune majoritarian democracy, not to silence it.

Specifically they "fine-tuned" it by including a supermajority requirement for changing the Constitution. The argument that this constitutes oppression is therefore clearly an argument against the Constitution. OK, but own it. Instead the author is trying to have it both ways, paying obeisance to a sacred cow while insisting that we slaughter it.
I think getting an actual domain name and maybe some screenshots and a little more explanation of what's going on would go a long way here. I signed up and as far as I can tell it's just a timer? I'm thinking there's more here, but a little onboarding would be helpful.

Congrats on shipping! :)
The chemistry is actually specified by Tesla, not by Panasonic. It is specific to them. How much of an advantage is it? That remains to be seen, but given the efficiency wins of Tesla over its competitors this year, it seems defensible.
Just because you can, it doesn’t mean it’s economical even when the other source prices are inflated.

Oil has lots of substitutes and alternatives too.

OPEC’s members seem to have good enough business relations with the largest markets.

That feels like a way more reasonable effort to signal-value ratio to me. Thanks for sharing.
TBH, those vendors sound seriously sketchy absent some credible explanation for why they think they need to charge more for a wedding.

If a vendor who supplies kids' entertainment rental (like those blow-up house things) tried to charge more for their services at a wedding than at a birthday party, I'd think they were trying to gouge. Flowers, something I know very little about, I could understand being treated differently for a wedding than other events, but I'd be interested in why.
As far as I understand your pages that applies only to the kernel, not the whole distribution.

To clarify, that's the total land area of Disney World's Florida property, only a small portion is devoted to the theme parks:

The Walt Disney World Resort is made up of 47 square miles of land…. or about 30,000 acres. Only about 1100 acres of that land is devoted to the 4 theme parks. In fact, with only 7,100 acres developed, there’s quite a lot of room for expansion!

http://www.wdwradio.com/2005/02/wdw-history-101-how-to-buy-2...

Another point of comparison: the city of San Francsico has a land area of 47 sq miles, so Singapore is about 6 San Francisco's.

No boss? No thanks. Why managers are more important than ever
Sorry, didn't read because of the paywall, but the reckless use of this term has bothered me for years, and some things to keep in mind when deciding what is exponential: (1) When something is increasing exponentially, the rate of increase increases in direct proportion to how much of it there is. So unless there is some plausible explanation of growth driven by size, 'exponential' is unlikely to be apt. (2) A true exponential curve increasing over time started infinitely long ago with an infinitesimal magnitude, has grown by the same constant percentage each millennium since, and will continue thus growing forever to eventually exceed every finite limit. (3) The actual rapid growth of anything significant we observe will apparently coincide with such a curve for only a much shorter time. Thus, if you call attention to rapid exponential growth of anything, you are almost certainly and most importantly describing a process that must reach some limit sooner or later, stabilize or crash.
This is absolutely great if it fits your case, but otherwise maybe not the best time investment. We happen to do event-based stuff at $work, with short running servers. Deploys go to several AWS regions, coordinated from servers in Europe. Bittorrent is really amazing for that sort of thing.
Why is it a bug? I write a program to download four files. I do so in parallel. Sometimes X finishes first, sometimes Y finishes first, and the files are written to disk in a different order. Why do I want to serialize this operation?
Maxon Releases Cinebench R20 Benchmark
As you build up, the construction costs (and ongoing maintenance costs) per square foot of livable space can increase significantly, though. You need more engineering, more expensive materials, fancy cranes, extra safety procedures, etc. Plus more of the potentially livable floor space is instead taken up by elevator shafts and machinery.
You don't care about the build date, you care about the release date, which is specifically what debian is trying to achieve with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
I think the category of "people who want to spend a lot of time planning their wedding" is a large enough category to merit a name. Perhaps not as broad a name as "the wedding industry", since as you show it's quite easy to disrupt that. But a lot of people do sign up for these web sites.

I don't think it's too hard to understand why. A lot of it is cultural inertia, some of it rather sexist. There's a strong notion that this is "her day", as if the rest of her life is going to be "somebody else's day". But even if she does escape the worst of the indoctrination, there are a lot of people who want to plan a once-in-a-lifetime party for a once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) event. The dream about that is on par with dreaming about what you'll do with your lottery tickets, or planning your next vacation, enjoyable on its own merits even aside from the event itself.

Not everybody will buy into that; clearly you didn't. But I don't think it's unreasonable that other people do. It's just another form of entertainment.
>About 75 percent of Americans favor higher taxes for the ultrawealthy.

I would ask that if 75% of the population favor something, how many election cycles should it take to install a Congress willing to carry it out? Even in single-party districts, opponents can run in primaries.

So Mr. Wu's analysis has holes -- one I would mention is the role of political marketing -- by which I mean, sure the incumbent is in the lobbyists' back pockets, but they did ${something_heroic_way_back_when} and besides, the challenger did/said ${something_that_sounds_bad}.

And I think too that people believe too strongly in the "write a letter to your rep" fairy tale, which when balanced against the lobbyist USD, is found wanting.

Maybe incumbency is too strong an advantage.

>And when running for office, Mr. Trump did gesture at his support for popular policies, promising to control drug prices, build public infrastructure and change trade policy to favor dispossessed workers. Yet since coming to power, Mr. Trump, with a few exceptions, like trade, has seemed to lose interest in what the broader public wants, focusing instead on polarizing issues like immigration...

Mr. Wu seems to be wrong here. In the past weeks, I have heard news about Congress wanting to get a handle on drug prices; trade policy seems to be creeping slowly in the direction Mr. Wu would like; and around the time the last Congress was swearing itself in, Trump had mentioned something about infrastructure.

If Congress can find the time to pass an infrastructure bill, that is.

You don't even need multi-threading. In gcc we had at least one case where a key=>value data structure was keyed by memory address, causing symbols to be emitted in different order depending on ASLR, phase of the moon, or whatever.
Some ideas can be great in the small even if they won't scale. Not everything needs to be built for massive scale.

Ah, I've always wondered why there aren't any rich people in New York or California. I guess this explains it.
> Thats purely corruption. I always explain to my argentinian friends, used to the petty corruption of putting friends and family in public positions, that the us does corruption at a much bigger scale: at the legal one.

Oh, Willie Brown did that too. He appointed his lover to two state commissions (he was the speaker of the California Assembly at the time), then helped her become district attorney in San Francisco.
They're saner by the fact that their media speech laws only extend so far. The US, you can call yourself unbiased news, lie on-air, and then if confronted on it just declare it free speech. There, inventing or grossly embellishing stories will get you sued and fined.
The only true benefit turnkey 1-click software truly offers me is not having to worry about configuration and backups, but ironically I always find myself too worried about backups or data integrity to use these types of platforms.

Do you have or are you planning to have a centralized way for these apps to perform and restore backups or is that handled by each partner themselves?
zoning laws do not help either. If you're in an area that requires a min 2 acre lot while your grandfathered neighbors have house on 1/4 acre, that surely does not help the price.
> fileservers don't send packets?

This line is far funnier than it should be. It reminds me of the time that I was told about how awful some architecture was because it would overload the network.

Their improved architecture sent lots of smaller files over NFS instead.

That was novel.
Aw, blushing over here :) Thanks for the mention Calvin! We (Vitally) are thrilled to be one of the first custom-built Segment integrations and look forward to continuing to work with you all!
why work on minimizing the fusion reactor, when fusion reactors don't even work to begin with ("work" meaning "produce more energy than they consume for an indefinite amount of time").

Just nail fusion reactors and bam - energy too cheap to meter. We already have a distribution network, who cares if they're large?
Chess could definitely use some more content to keep players interested, maybe some new characters or a better story-line. And I'd kill for a graphical update, the game looks like it was made a thousand years ago! Unfortunately I think the devs have abandoned the project.
"Then on the other end of the spectrum are artists, who need a blank canvas to fill out their ideas."

For the most part people who are like this should be doing a different specialty related to design (graphic design, branding, tv, print...). Web design for the most part is taking a lot of data and fitting it into a limited space that changes based on the user's preferences and device.

And you are right the simplest solution is to just learn to write code. Once you get a good setup going it's less painful than using the pallets in photoshop and you'll have a hell of a lot more control and flexibility. I think people get intimidated because when they think of code they think you'll need a lot of math and arcane knowledge. CSS is a much different thing that often makes more sense to designers than it does to developers.

What you mention about polycarbonate is interesting. I just got my first pair of glasses (well, the first in about 35 years) and I can't quite put my finger on it but they bother me. Clarity is better, but there's something about the colors of things, especially where things contrast, that is bothersome. I end up taking them off (they are only really for computer use at this point, my vision isn't all that bad yet) just to see normally, if less clear.

Off to do some research...

Yeah, what's being discussed here are connections without any i/o over them. Just an fd lingering somewhere in an epoll pool. Which obviuosly is even less taxing. So your point is?
that's totally not the same thing.
That part stood out to me, too. It's a phenomenon I've been noticing for a long time when talking to Americans (even here on HN), but I think this is the first time I've seen an American recognize it.

Energy loss over transmission distance is a big issue. Need lots of little power gen stations. Not just a few large ones.
This theory is total BS.

Acidosis is medical emergency. Human body contains several pH buffers, is someone would be able to saturate them by eating, they would die.

There is absolutely no connection between alkaline foods and blood pH levels. Eating acidic or alkaline foods has no effect on stomach pH, nor does it has effect on the pH of blood.

Alkaline food can alter urine pH, but there is no effect on elsewhere in the body unless you are really sick.
"the government" is more a loose confederation of public agencies. They're not a monolith that has the ability to know everything about everything, especially at the local and county levels. I don't know the specifics of that case, but last minute citizen protests or protests that weren't able to be resolved quickly enough are another issue.

It's also not like this doesn't happen in the private sector. A company bough some land on the main road where I am, razed the building, graded, and then stopped for almost 2 years now because the board won't change the zoning for them. (Which is the right decision imho.)

I look forward to the day where "scripted" characters can grow and learn. Characters with certain tendencies and traits set by writers can grow and learn in different ways since they are weighted differently and have different goals. Think the AI in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, but more "organic".
I’ll second the recommendation for EyeBuyDirect. Great quality and great prices. My last pair of glasses was <$60 and are the best pair I’ve ever owned.
NYC MTA is a great example of why. We need to put blame on all parties involved politicians, corporations and labor unions. Anyone who unconditionally defends labor is naive at best. NYT reports:

“Trade unions, which have closely aligned themselves with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other politicians, have secured deals requiring underground construction work to be staffed by as many as four times more laborers than elsewhere in the world, documents show.”

You can't really learn consumer marketing like this. Hindsight is 20/20 -- successes like Instagram are mostly throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks. B2B marketing is a little less luck-driven, but not that much. There's a lot of data-gathering, trial-and-error, etc., and what worked in the past for one product isn't going to work at a different time or for a different product.

If you want to learn product marketing, find opportunities to practice it in real situations.
Why would you care so much as to personally write that comment? What stake do you own in serpAPI? It fringes Google's trademark and violates the Terms of Service.

If it was okay for SerpAPI to do it then everybody would be launching similar API on top of existing products. It's illegal and you are profiteering off the work of others.

I can't believe I am being downvoted for this. I am going to have to expedite the process now and reach out directly to an executive I know working at Google.
I much prefer bit packed protocols. It's easy to process them on either side and if you really need them to be human readable you can dump the readable to a log or write a tool to let you see it. But to be honest, after a little while, it's like the Matrix, you can just see what you're looking for.
