In all of my 32 years of driving and over many many miles I've had exactly one situation where acceleration helped me avoid an accident and it wasn't anywhere near the local speed limit. On the way to visiting another HN user I was about to turn left and looking into the low sun waiting for a vehicle that was barely visible to pass. Then I moved across the lane and another vehicle appeared quite close behind the previous one. Because of staring into the sun for too long waiting for the first one I had developed a really nice blind spot for the second car to hide in. It wasn't visible to me until it was almost on top of me. That's the only time that a large engine ever made a difference (and I'd never really floored it all the way in city traffic before but that was impressive). All the other times it was the brakes that saved the day.
I liked looking at these patches. They remind me of the kind of imagery they used to print on pogs. Lots of skulls and swords.

At the same time, if I saw an officer wearing this, I'd be inclined to take them less seriously.

The cultures of some police forces are weird. I don't claim to understand it, as an outsider.

And yeah, the drug war is out of control, yatta yatta all that jazz.
Which taxes are you referring to? Chicago's total tax burden, including property taxes, is lower than most East Coast cities, and the state is 8th, not 1st, in statewide tax burden. Doesn't NYC, for instance, have much higher taxes than Chicago?
>Calling it "apples to oranges" is overlooking how some fields are broadly underpaid, which often (though not always) overlaps with gender disparity. For example, primary and secondary school teaching is a 'traditionally female' field that gets massively underpaid compared to tertiary education, despite if anything being much more important to society.

When you take all factors into account the gender wage gap virtually vanishes.

Comparing secondary school teachers to post-secondary professors is hilarious at best. High school teachers should be paid much less than university professors.

Now tell me, how about men vs women at secondary schools. Oh right their unions make sure they are paid identically. How about professors? They are paid the same.

If you think that secondary school teachers should be paid the same as university professors; you're a communist. That's perfectly acceptable to be a communist, but you don't live in a communist society.
> yet not every company is being accused

maybe because attacking them is not worth it?
With the ubiquitous tracking technology we have these days, why are we still putting innocent people in jail? It's barbaric and unjust. Give them a GPS bracelet and let them go home or wherever they want. Or have we given up completely on the "innocent until proven guilty" idea?
Then that's absurd, and you should push back. You wouldn't accept your salary in a currency with no known exchange rate, why would you accept options without knowing the size of the pie?
Its badly worded. The idea is that men and women should both be affected by having kids, and if that means less career advancement, then so be it. But the assertions is that a choice between a man and a woman to have kids shouldn't result in only the woman seeing less career advancement.

You can make this argument for and against pretty easily, I think. But I would prefer to live in a world where a woman gets months off to have and start raising a kid, and a man gets the same amount of time off to bond with their new born child. Thereby spreading the impact of having children equally across both sexes, and creating what I think would be a better world.
Telling someone your password is 8 characters long and memorable vs telling them it is 8192 characters long and unrecallable are two entirely different things.
how is MESI "an abstraction"? why is it the only model proffered instead of MESIF/MOESI?

and "the top 16-bits are basically ignored" is a funny way to spell "general protection exception on linear memory reference in non-canonical space" but sure, guess we're just handwaving here

This article doesn't fit the typical millenial in the HN bubble. Most people here have a prized lottery ticket in their pocket (IT) and consistently want to ignore it. Most times they are in position of helping their parents, not of being helped.
A password sent over an encrypted connection and hashed+salted on the backend? It's an extremely reliable and proven method that has been used for decades!
My point is that at a state level, Californians and New Yorkers practice the same kind of wealth-capture and tax-minimization on investments that they frequently critique from businesses.

That if they really believed in financial equity, they'd reshape their own privilege before insisting that they have a right to collect money from others (eg, raising taxes) or harping on the privilege of others (eg, corporate practices).
For a long time, I don't think they even had a formal paternal leave policy or only had a just a couple of weeks for Dads. They are definitely a late mover in this area. They had to be shamed (Infamous NYTimes article, peers bragging their generic benefits etc) to provide better paternity and maternity leave policies. Current atmosphere of asking for these kind of benefits were almost laughable within the walls of Amazon 10 years ago; You would have either got yelled or scoffed at. Glad to see this effort. Hope they succeed. I know a lot of people in industry will be rooting for them, and many employees secretly hoping for them to succeed. It is good for Amazonians and industry in general. If the famously laggard company in providing good benefits is being put on spot to up its game to take care of employees, we should all cheer for Momazonians!
If your employer refuses to disclose # of issued shares, you have absolutely no way of valuing your shares. I can't think of one good reason why they'd be unwilling to give you this information, and as a result, I'd actually advise that you value your shares to be worthless.
Bail funds have emerged in many cities to help get people out of jail while they await their trial. If you are interested (and hopefully appalled) by how many people are locked in cages in the United States without being convicted of anything simply because they don't have the money to post bail, please find one and donate to it. Your money can keep working to get many people out of jail long after you donate.

Twilio is also one of the most expensive providers, and if you don't need E911 you can easily get numbers for less than half that price.
Be careful about what research you look at when looking into the history of the Nuclear family. It's a very politically charged topic, and a lot of what you'll find is more of an agenda driven defense of the nuclear family (or the opposite) than an explorative scholarly work.

It's difficult to find a trustworthy source on the matter if you're just doing a quick google search.

Probably the primary reason that multi-generational households were less common in England people married much later there than in the rest of Europe (Laslett does mention this in The World We Have Lost).
I saw the movie last night :)
I'd like to know if anyone can run and start a new life somewhere else. Is it possible?

I suspect Bail is an anachronism in these modern times. 100 years ago you could jump on a train and virtually disappear, never be seen again. Now cops can track people's phone to see exactly where they are at any time of the day.
Is this really a question? It takes more dedicated study to become an anesthesiologist than an elementary school teacher.
So I just shouldn't bother having kids if I don't live in the same city as my parents?

Plugging something when your post blows up on Twitter is a time honored tradition, usually someone will plug their sound cloud or Instagram in an attempt to capitalize on the attention.

What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic is great because it makes people aware of problems with the current system.
Adding UNUMs would be suggesting the devil you don't know over the devil you know.

However, and I can't remember if it is alreaddy in the book, a section on compensated summation / dot product would give strong time tested tools to attack the problem from within the current framework.
This is it, and definitely step 1.

Step 1: Let's agree that this is a complicated problem, and that quick feel good knee jerk reactions may end up having negative impacts.

Step 2: Work on solutions to complicated problems.

Easier said than done, but few things worth doing are simple, and there's already a lot of people doing great work on sustainable, informed solutions (but too many people just going "lets pay everyone the same, its the only way to be fair!!!" hurting everyone else)
> state goverments, by enacting an income tax of their own, could essentially steal part of the federal government's tax revenue

They still can via payroll taxes. Since payroll taxes are a deduction for the company, not the employee, they're still deductible under the new tax code.

With a state payroll tax, your state income tax would only need to cover non-payroll income (investments etc.) which would probably fall under the 10k limit for most people.
Why would there be consumer outrage? If you're planning to speed past 180kph don't buy a Volvo.

>It's only "apples to oranges" if you're willing to beg the entire question. Why is elementary teaching less highly paid than university teaching? Why is nurse practitioning less highly paid than anaesthesiologizing?

Because of education level?

A university professor has a PHD. An elementary teacher has a bachelors degree.

If you think a PHD and a bachelors degree should be paid the same. That's perfectly fine, that's called communism. It's perfectly fine to be a communist.
That fact that it's even at the risk of being published on the public web should be enough to disqualify it as a passphrase for everyone.

I've had users use parts of lesser known poems or stories in some foreign language, because who would expect that, right? Turns out that's not what's relevant to a good password but rather whether it is in any available corpus.

If your passphrase consists of something likely to be in wikipedia you are guaranteed to get owned in minutes.
My previous experience, though I wrote software, was more like "research code" instead of "software engineering". We didn't have formal processes (no testing, testing fixes in prod, etc). Our focus was more on the (cool) analysis we were doing and not on the reliability of our systems.

One of the reasons I chose to join Google over another security-related company (that would have done little coding) was that I wanted to learn how to write software better. I've learned a lot about testing, understanding the reliability of distributed systems, writing code for maintainability, etc.
In my 40s so too old to have the “millennial” label, but there definitely seems to have been some kind of generational shift in terms of what’s normal. I would be absolutely mortified and ashamed if I had to ask my parents for help with a down payment for a house or for a car, let alone routine bills. They’re retired and on fixed income, and in my 30s they were financially just barely getting to that point where they could retire. I think most of my age cohort would say the same thing. I’d rather cut the size of my home in half and drive a 20 year old beater Toyota than depend on my parents, who already spent the prime of their adult lives supporting me.

Not saying the new attitude is wrong, but is seems so foreign to me. I guess my question to a 30 year old whose parents pay their bills is: what would you do if they died suddenly or became unable to continue support? You must have some kind of plan..?
Can Facebook be fined by the EU for actions outside the EU that only affect users outside the EU? Sure, but it would likely create political waves and I'd doubt it'd happen. Global enforcement of GDPR isn't realistic, as the EU doesn't have worldwide jurisdiction.
Don't think 'if I didn't spend 30k on my family I'd be making six average adult wages more per year' is very common or very realistic to expect.

And if you are making huge amounts of money it's completely reasonable and rational to spend it to actually increase happiness and opportunities, given that one cares about people around them.

There's a methodology of teaching programming focused on understanding and designing programs.

It's in the book (available online for free) called How to Design Programs: https://www.htdp.org

It introduces the notion of a "design recipe" for structuring thinking and problem-solving for programming.
Supply and demand. Easier to become an elementary teacher, more qualified elementary teachers available compared to the need
I don’t get this. It is not possible to underpay (when there is no allegation of discrimination) because if a person X is willing to work for salary Y then that’s exactly what he should be paid. In capitalism, corporations have a fiduciary duty to pay no more than is necessary to keep the employee.
I don't think it's helpful to talk about "raw power" in a comparison like this; clearly there are significant type system features Haskell lacks - so this isn't a question of a simple superset.

And in any case; what does raw power really mean?

The two languages appear to have fairly widely different aims, and both see type-system cleverness as a boon, so it should come as little surprise that they don't all have the same tricks.
>The practical problem is that you need to have the different parts work together, and fridge makers don't don't to hot water makers.

You don't need a fridge or a hot water heater or an ac or a furnace at that point, because the primary function has been offloaded to the central heat pump. you need heat exchanger attached to water, heat exchangers attached to a cold room, heat exchangers attached to a central air system.

You don't have to have the parts work together if the most expensive part of each appliance has been centralized. At that point you've now reduced the appliance to where to put the heat exchanger.
Looks like what emulator are using.
Those are mainly mainstream articles, politicians' and celebrity talking points. They don't even account for the type of job, hours worked, danger of the job, etc.

There are some good studies on this subject that I've read over the years though, for instance one among lawyers in a firm in which women were paid about 2-3% lower than men, on average IIRC. But these often don't or can't take into account personality characteristics. For instance, women on average are more agreeable and so often don't negotiate as hard as men on their salary.

When controlling for all factors, wage differences largely disappear.
What is the reference for underpaying?

Supply and demand of willing free-will workers? Profitability of the company? Something else?

Hadoop is for "big data." Big data is commonly defined as minimum of petabytes of data. That is, thousands of terabytes. Our ingest of new events to our cluster is upwards of 25B per day and we keep all that data in perpetuity.

Our hadoop cluster is relatively small at 5PB right now, but I would be impressed indeed if you were processing PB of data on a smallish AWS instance.

If you were considering using Hadoop for work that can be processed on a "smallish instance" then I'd suggest you maybe don't really understand big-data or the normal workloads for which Hadoop is intended. For example, we run ML models on our Hadoop cluster which take hours to run distributed over around 100 nodes. Let me know when this can be done on a "smallish instance."
I'm pretty sure there are already apps for Android that can do what you are asking. I use google voice, which tends to block most of the crap.
No but ARM is obviously not the go to thing for high performance computing (At the moment... Or forever in the near future)
Sure, you don't really need to know any of this stuff unless you're actually needing to optimize code beyond the lowest hanging fruit.

My list presupposes you've hit a wall and need the best performance you can get. That's not always the case, but I certainly wouldn't say that these optimizations don't make a difference in the "real world of softare."

False sharing alone can be the difference between a 16x parallelization speedup and a 1000x+ slowdown over the naive serial algorithm. 16x can be the difference between actionable results tomorrow or three weeks from today... and if you didn't know about it, the 1000x+ slowdown would be otherwise inscrutable.

> there's a lot of emphasis in the company towards retaining and compensating women fairly, and the effect was that managers were primed to reflect that in their pay raises

Or more broadly, supply/demand. There is a heavy demand for female tech workers, which tends to increase their salaries (both when hired and when countering outside offers).
> Kubernetes clusters? Load balancers across multiple cloud regions? Zero-click, Blue-Green deployment based on real-time metrics from a continuous deployment pipeline?

Kubernetes, multi region, canary deployment, immutable infrastructure, even infrastructure as code is overengineering for a brand new indie project, for sure.

BUT, there is a certain minimum amount of quality, availability and scalability any product needs, especially a new product that might show up on hacker news or product hunt and get 100-300 concurrent requests a second for multiple hours at unpredictable times.

To not use fargate because you have to dockerize your app and build it during a codepipeline stage is silly. That takes what, a week, max, the first time you ever do it? Once you've done it, you can do it faster for future products. To not use an autoscaling and high availability database when it costs the same and is so simple to set up makes no sense either. To not use ci/cd to test your db migrations and new code on staging before pushing to prod is just dumb and asking for pain and suffering. Why put yourself through that when products have been built to make these things _so_ easy and inexpensive now?
They could build a special email system that allows inmates to send/receive encrypted emails with their lawyer only. The TLS MITM could be turned off for that site only.
It's a family issue and an economy issue. A society where only women are expected to bear the career cost of having children is a societh where half the workforce has their career growth stunted. The age where you have kids is very important careerwise. I think if you can improve women's career prospects, the effects for family income and overall economic output can be quite significant.
that would be awesome. thank you! ill send you an email.
Gotcha. I guess I was unclear about what "almost as secure" meant in this context.

So whether providing your length is a tangible security leak or not is essentially a function of the size of your character pool, because if your password is short enough for n-1 to contain a significant percentage of possible combinations then it's probably already short enough to brute force anyway.
> This is a joke, right?

It looked like clear satire (of what the bosses would like us to think) to me, given the rest of the post.
If you're underpaid, that means there is an opportunity for you that will pay more. Aside from H1B, I struggle to see how anyone at google is underpaid.

A reasonable person would take the lottery ticket and immediately offer to sell it back to the issuer--or to a large insurer or casino--for a guaranteed $50k (negotiable) before the drawing occurs.

However, some options grants are not transferable in that fashion.

The reasonable person can then calculate the range of payouts for each option as [$1k..$1k], ev $1k, for the cash option, and [$0..$1M], ev $100k, for the gambling option. Not all gamblers only use expected value as their only metric. Some people also use the minimum return. Those people would take the guaranteed $1k, in cash, and walk.

Even if the gambling option had a minimum payout of $1000, thus making it the strictly superior option on paper, just by those metrics, it might also only pay off 3 days from now, when the $1000 on the spot, could be used right now, possibly in some other psychologist's thought experiment on gambling behaviors.
At 112mph you’re traveling 54 yards (50 meters) per second.

There’s no situation that can be solved by increasing speed at this velocity. You simply won’t have the time to react. Unless, of course, you’re trying to outrun a train in a car chase in a movie.
Not many people outside of HN have opportunities for remote work. Most people don't want to be trapped into a situation where there's only one dominant employer in their area.
> have all taxes apportioned, and leave it to the states to decide how they wish to collect the revenue needed to pay the federal government.

Let them crash and burn and serve as an example of the kind of policy you shouldn't enact. There's 50 states and interstate migration is not restricted. At a national level people do very much have the ability to pick one of the 49 other ships if the one they are on is sinking. Sure it would suck for the people who don't see the writing on the wall when their state is going down but I think it would be less damaging in the long term than the status quo.
Fail2ban, not using IP based auth, and mandatory TLS/SRTP will generally cover your bases (ofc, Fail2ban should be banning any IPs attempting TCP/UDP registration or calling without SRTP).

Not really rocket science, but the VOIP industry is stuck in the 1990s when it comes to security practices related to their core offering. Its a terrible state of affairs!

>The countries with the highest wage gaps are the countries with the most equality in the workplace. Women in Korea are not treated poorly.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. Korea most assuredly is not a country with "the most equality in the workplace". It routinely ranks as having the worst gender inequality of any developed nation, and one of the worst in the world generally. It came in 115th out of 149 countries in the World Economic Forum's 2018 Global Gender Gap Report* and has hovered around that number for years.

Medicaid, Medicare, SSDI, regular SS, Department of Education, the VA... basically old people and children eat up the Federal Budget and the rest of the money is left over for discretionary sporting wars internationally and parades/exercises/weapons manufacturing domestically.
I'm fine with shrinking all of those programs.
