That's bullshit. Telcos can stop it on a dime but they don't because they profit from it. We just need regulation with teeth. Your attitude that only "innovation" can save us and we should get rid of regulators is what led us to where we are now.
I'm about as confident something will come of this bill as I am that my house will one day get up and fly away into the sunset.

Any bill passed is going to be under the purview of the FCC to enforce if signed into law. Yes, the same FCC that allows telecoms to continually run roughshod over consumers contrary to anti-trust laws that have been on the books for ages. Unless this becomes a problem for the companies that provide phone service, which it apparently isn't due to the fact that it is still rampant, nothing will be done other than public finger wagging.
Why CO2 instead of CH4? If someone else tries a similar process with CH4, will their cost be smaller?
a) That's not true. More is more. You just do it from a basis point perspective.

b) If you're at a pre-ipo company with options, your comp is crap compared to a publicly traded company. If you're counting your lottery tickets as real money, you're a fool. You can't even sell them on Sharespost for the valuation the company tells you.

>why should California and the rest of the blue states be financing the whole country

The tax code doesn't say that blue states have to pay more, it says wealthy people have to pay more. As a result, wealthy states pay in more than they get out.

Taxing the rich to fund social programs to help the poor means money will flow from Silicon Valley and Hollywood to rural West Virginia.

That's why we need salary transparency to really address this. There are a lot underpaid men and a lot of overpaid women. Making this into a male vs. female issue does nothing to address the fact that people are underpaid.
That's not what this structure does, though. It just incentivizes states to collect more revenue than they otherwise would, at the expense of federal collection.
iPhones still take up the whole screen when a call comes in however.
This isn't solving any problem user's have had. This is purely about knocking out the second hand market and unauthorized resellers.

Anybody else take issue with this groups insinuation that child care is a single gender issue?

All this lip service to inclusion, and keeping an eye out for the minority, but nobody thought the minority of single parents, (single fathers) might take issue with a group called Momazonians.

Ya ya, sure, most single parents, or working parents who have child care concerns, are women. Yet most firefighters are men but we don't call them firemen anymore because we recognize that as bad.

IPsec is pretty much universal in networking hardware and cloud provider networks nowadays. There's a better chance it'll work for you if you can't or don't want to control both ends of the connection.

Hardware:

* Cisco: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/vpn_solutions...

* Juniper: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/top...

Cloud:

* AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpn-connect...

* Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gatew...

* gcloud: https://cloud.google.com/vpn/docs/concepts/overview

Also, some software environments have better support for IPsec than Wireguard; a glance at the Algo docs (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo) suggests that Windows and OpenWRT are both in this category today.

FWIW, I work for Google, I haven't configured IPsec in forever, and I'll probably reach for Algo first the next time I think I need IPsec; I don't think I have enough endpoints in my home network to need hardware offloading :)
Fair enough, I didn't realize that was a Mozilla thing.
Yes, on Point B the comp IS “crap” and hence why most startups try to convince you to take the options. They can’t pay you what the competition would give you in liquid comp so they try to get you to take the bet. Such startups are typically paying well below market on liquid comp. it’s not like they’re asking you to make a “bet” with a 10% haircut on liquid comp (which would make more sense).

I’m not against options, but if what you will make over the next X years based on liquid comp is not something you are totally OK walking away with as your total comp over that period then one is probably making a bad choice.
> If the goal is to mitigate the consequences of giving birth and taking care of an infant, and the consequence is that women have less time for work, then you have to force men to also have less time for work.

What exactly is the point of this? All this does is penalize poor families. No amount of monetary hand out is going to ever devalue the wealth creation ability of work. You cannot pay out the social benefits of working. Women undertake a vital task in giving birth, and they of course need time to recover. However, in that situation, the best thing for their family is not for neither spouse to be uninvolved in the workplace. Forcing men to stay home (rather than choose what is best for their family) simply limits the family's overall ability to create wealth for themselves.

Yes, paternity leave is important and nice, but the truth of the matter is that some women are going to need many months to recover from birth, and men simply do not. Why disadvantage entire families in the name of 'equality'. There is no equality to be had. The woman's body suffered through birth, and the man's didn't. The baby needs the mother nearby to feed it, not the father. What's the big deal then if the man goes back to work earlier?

Can anyone articular why it is better (for families) for men to not return to work when they feel ready, which is almost invariably going to be sooner than their wives? This seems to me a good thing that ensures children have their financial well being looked after.
Well then make your own. If your time it takes to do so is worth less than $1.99, then your principles will have saved you money.

That's not really an indicator of if the car supports switching the primary or not, I've had plenty of rentals with both on the speedometer while still having the ability to switch the primary.

I agree that either way it's easier to use a single speedometer with a different overlay.
Part of this is the peculiarly American obsession with moving out of your parents' house and living independently as soon as possible. When I was living in India that was difficult for my coworkers to understand.
It's bad because it creates an incentive for the state to tax in a particular way that may not be optimal. Income taxes are cheaper for states to levy than all other forms of tax because of this backdoor. That is bad.
> Finally, something worse than Donald Trump.

This is an article that has literally nothing to do with Donald Trump, but they just couldn't resist making it about him.
This being HN, everyone has a technological solution or workaround to the calls themselves. Why can't we simply go after the companies that are being advertised during the robocall? They all have a link or number back to the actual company being advertised.

I was discussing what solders carry as a primary weapon but since you brought it up why don't "mass shooters" regularly use chemical weapons now instead? Could it be because they're regulated and not readily available to civilians?
It's for emphasis. Some people use asterisks. He uses underscores.
The legislation mentioned in the article probably would help, but the real untold sorry here is that the blame for the recent increase in robocalls lies with Paj's FCC (and thus Trump). Previous FCC rulings kept robocalls from getting out of hand, but the ruling was overturned on a small technicality. The FCC could easily replace it with a similar ruling but they haven't done anything. (My source here is the recent Reply All episode on robocalls)
Although 180 km/h looks reasonable, I'm not convinced this kind of solutions is the way to go. Speed limiters are not new and were sold on the idea that are improving the efficiency of the engine, burning the fuel better. To do the same thing in regard to safety however, is a bit humiliating or at least patronizing. People already are required to jump through non-trivial hoops in order to legally get behind the driving wheel and all that is to make sure they fully understand the implications of driving a high speed vehicle and accept the implied responsibility. We already took care of setting the proper speed limits through road regulations on the society level, and we do further limit those speeds by choice on the individual level on each driving session. This artificial limitation from the automakers is more akin to fearmongering based marketing stunt, something not derived from rational discernment but from tackling one's lizard brain fears.
Ah ok, I never used VB.
I experienced that with Delphi ... and much more elaborate with Adobes Flex(or more beautiful, but less clean, with Flash), which is pretty dead nowdays unfortunately and I have not found a replacement. Any tool which tried to do this for HTML has been horrible so far.
The dealer is providing a buffer for the manufacturer, holding extra stock at their own risk. The manufacturer rewards this behaviour because it’s in their interest.

Literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. Flights on private jets when there's a pressing need for travel. Rent and food and entertainment in major cities, full tuition payments for millennials and, as they reach the point of starting their own families, their children.

Relatedly, one of my strongly-held, but weakly-sourced opinions is that the disparity between anger about financial inequality (wildly inconsistent throughout the country, but not really dominant anywhere) and the level of actual financial inequality (higher than ever before in the history of the country) is largely due to the fact that most people, like you are realizing here, don't actually see that disparity that much. A lot of this wealth transfer is obfuscated (very deliberately!) and laundered through less-explicit mechanisms, like the aforementioned "paying for the ludicrously expensive nightmare that is childcare".
I am currently being hammered by robocalls, in relative terms at least.

I can't remember the last time I got an unsolicited text.

An anecdote to be sure, but I don't hear anyone complaining right now about unsolicited texts, so it doesn't seem like Hustle is the problem.

"I still want to have access whenever I want it. Maybe I can't have it both ways?"

You can, actually, and it isn't that hard. I have a strict "one strike and you're out" policy with my apps; if I see a notification I don't want, I either fix the notification preferences in the app right away, or if the app doesn't permit what I need, nuke the app's ability to notify. My phone is pretty quiet.
Hmm, even with paternal leave, the mother would be taking more time off while the husband works in the overwhelming majority of families, at least those who are not fortunate to have millions in the bank where both spouses are able to take time off without any thought to financial impact.

Painting this as a "deepset cultural issue" and not a matter of practicality and biology is either missing the point, or intellectually dishonest.
At Re:amaze, we don't hire for customer support personnel. Our culture is that everyone that we currently have on staff, be it engineers, co-founders, marketing - all work on customer support. Granted, we're a small team right now that makes it quite possible to do so, but it really keeps things super lean. We're also a chat and helpdesk platform, so it helps to have everyone use and understand the product.

There's also plenty that can be learned from answering support - from discovering bugs to fixing them to understanding feature requests to satisfying customers (and the joy that you get from a happy customer), that it's our main onboarding tool for our hires across all departments. Sometimes support can take up a couple hours for a team member, but it's totally worth it. Not to mention our customers absolutely love our helpfulness and responsiveness in support and is one of the main reasons we've had plenty of businesses switch over from our competitors.
we use CO2 because it easily absorbs into our electrolyte and ch4 does not. ch4 is also flammable at the temperatures we operate at and this would be more difficult to design around.

Even when I was on the Autobahn (in a Volvo S6 no less) my max speed was 108 mph, and most of the time I settled in at 100 mph. But there will definitely be some people pissed off at this, as I saw people clearly going closer to 120 on occasion.
Because of Prop 13.
http://projects.scpr.org/prop-13/stories/housing-shortage/ has a good write up.

Because land isn't taxed based on it's current value landowners have little incentive to develop their land in order to get the most out of it. They simply bank land as much as possible as it's the most surefire way to turn a profit. It's why we have golf courses* in city centers and dilapidated shacks* next to Google's global HQ.

Additionally, prop 13 gives landowners every incentive to lobby for policies that restrict development in order to drive up prices instead of fighting for the right to build 4 story apartments on their property.

Slashing property taxes always floods the market with speculators and destroys housing affordability. Look at Vancouver, or Malta, their housing shortages rival SF despite low wages and comparatively small economies.

I had one try to raise the price by about 10% after they had my items. It was an interstate move and the company I had contracted with and that was named for loading, transport, and unloading on the bill of lading sold the job to another mover. I guess this is pretty common, but it's also pretty illegal. Without a valid bill of lading they are in possession of stolen property. I told them so and asked if they wanted to involve the police and the DoT. They unloaded my things then.

It's one of the rare occasions I've stiffed someone on the tip. If attempted theft and extortion isn't a reason to reduce a tip, nothing is.
Thank you for your feedback. I think I'll disable the run button if there's no code.

Federal law also says you can't sell marijuana. However the government has pretty much decided to not prosecute that for some time. In general it's hard to believe that any law such as that would not defacto allow an exception for what can be shown as an abusive behavior. Under the theory that the law says 'you are required to connect all calls' you could say that carriers could not legally block someone who keeps calling a phone number in an abusive manner (with or w/o the permission or at the request of the customer).

Not to be pendantic, but not _everyone_ uses biometrics to log into their device, either due to lack of hardware or due to lack of trust in said hardware.
They're disposable radios - you cant fix them, align them, or otherwise do much to them, every single one I've seen has poor selectivity and sensitivity. They do usually transmit on frequency and are decently stable, but thats about it.
You might want to verify that. Last time I checked, android's block unknown caller option just blocked calls where caller ID was blocked (aka "private").
Right, the bug in the kernel code snippet is like GP describes, but the gcc bug isn't that the compiled code is incorrect, it's that people expect an "uninitialized variable" warning and the compiler doesn't produce one.

The nature of employment in the US has changed very rapidly in the past few decades. Agriculture and manufacturing jobs have evaporated, replaced by service jobs. Globalization means that any job that doesn't need to be performed inside the US will likely leave the US.

What this means is that in the past, there used to be forces that encouraged jobs to be somewhat evenly spread across the country. Most medium-sized cities had a number of factories, small towns were surrounded by farms, etc.

Now the only jobs are jobs that involve working with or for other people, so you see a rapid concentration in a smaller number of large metro areas.

Unfortunately, cities cannot physically adapt as quickly as the economy has changed. The rapid change in housing prices — upwards in metro areas and downwards elsewhere — is basically a measure of how much the physical infrastructure is out of sync with today's needs.

Personally, I hope we figure out a way reinvigorate and distribute jobs across medium-sized cities. It's very difficult for the poor any elderly to uproot, and the US has tons of space, so I think it's better for everyone if the jobs come to them instead of forcing them to come to the jobs.
I love the irony of this. Accused of underpaying women - their reaction is "let us get some data". Nope. underpaying men. This is the way you do things. You collect the data, analyze and react. Wash rinse repeat.

Is there a way to access the call before it hits your phone? I looked briefly, because I'm very passionate about this problem, and couldn't find anything. I don't want to answer the call and wait for someone to enter a pin. I want them to have entered a sufficiently long randomly generated number (spoken to them by some voice generation service) before it even makes my phone send a notification to me.

I get a lot of robocalls from spoofed numbers that have my area code and even the first 3 digits of my phone number in common. I guess the thought is that people are more likely to pick up if the number looks familiar? For me, it's just an indication of a robo call that I won't pick up.
Not with a Baofeng. Long distance DX is typically done with HF gear at lower frequencies. Baofeng is a 2-meter VHF radio where communications is basically line-of-sight.
But your comp is almost always crap compared to a publicly traded company. (i.e. FAANG) Just look at the numbers on this website to get the expected value of startup stock. Short of getting an obscene amount of stock in a startup, it's not worth it. And almost no startup is going to give you 5-10x+ the amount of stock that other employees are getting for the same position.
