It's rational economic self-interest. This is why zoning regulation needs to come from jurisdictions higher than the local government.

You ever wonder when they show a tribe from G-d knows where that had barely any contact with our civilization, how come they've got perfect white teeth and they've got them all? Nothing crooked, nothing missing.
Dude, we're not talking about California-style "save the world" here. We're talking about providing a EU member non Third World infrastructure.

Trains would be awesome, but they need to be correlated with the local needs. Romania is poor and has low density. High speed trains are super expensive and only serve cities, basically. We need decent roads and highways.
I agree that tech companies are the problem, and the only solution is regulation to force them to decouple geography from their jobs. Those jobs could be done remotely or relocated to other communities, yet they dump the externalities on local communities. And this is the result.
There was that time they colluded with Apple not to compete for talent and keep salaries artificially low.

This is an interesting choice, given that almost everywhere else it seems like audio is given the high priority to prevent stutters like these.

I've just recently discovered other people in the other parts of the world who were also completely not gullible also around 2500 years ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajita_Kesakambali

"Fools and wise alike, on the dissolution of the body, are cut off, annihilated, and after death they are not."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charvaka

"Charvakas denied metaphysical concepts like reincarnation, an extracorporeal soul, the efficacy of religious rites, other worlds (heaven and hell), fate and accumulation of merit or demerit through the performance of certain actions.[40] Charvakas also rejected the use of supernatural causes to describe natural phenomena. To them all natural phenomena was produced spontaneously from the inherent nature of things."
>I mean how many ex—Amazon founders do you see? Probably not at all in proportion to the number of alumni relative to all VC funded cos.

Is there a reason to single out Amazon specifically? Because I’ve heard of lots of Xoogler founders and exFB founders.
2 million workers lost their employer provided health insurance following the ACA. Now they're paying for their insurance out of pocket. Granted their employers were paying their premiums, but from the person's perspective they went down from paying little or nothing to paying for all their insurance on their own.

https://www.factcheck.org/2014/04/millions-lost-insurance/

This is assuming that the subsidy covers the full cost of insurance. If this isn't the case then you're stuck paying an extra tax because your didn't buy the insurance that your can't afford.

That was repealed last year....

Older people cost insurance companies more. 80% of healthcare costs are usually spent in a person's last year of life. Insurance companies can't factor age into cost beyond a government set limit. So the other insurance buyers subsidize the ageing insured population.

Older people wouldn’t be part of the private insurance pool. They would be part of Medicare.

Fundamentally you're trying to say that the insurance companies can provide more services, charge high-risk people the same as everyone else, and greatly expand the covered population while reducing cost. That just doesn't happen. If a company provides more services and more expensive services then it's costs are going to rise. And because putting those costs onto the people that incur those costs mean than the majority of the insured population is subsidizing their healthcare and thus their premiums rise.

And none of that is true. The insurance companies have a separate pool for what they offer for group insurance and what they offer on the exchange.

And older workers would be getting insurance through Medicare.

You’re conflating multiple risk pools. The insurance companies don’t do that.

The idea that the only market is a robber-baron friendly totally unregulated one is an absurd strawman.

The water issues in California could be addressed by trading (say) half the water currently going to agriculture. Everyone would be better off, including those poor you pretend to care about.
Like other people in this thread have said, I definitely look for projects or contributions that look interesting, or are job related, to start out having a conversation.

However, there is one thing I look for that will, usually, be a huge negative against the candidate. I have run into many candidates where their github projects are just 100% clones of various tutorials. When a github profile is only full of such projects it doesn't tell me anything different than what is on your resume, and my trust in the candidate goes down.

Other than looking at code quality, I actually look into their commit history and see if they are using the various best practices of git.

I've noticed the people who work to master the tools of their trade are also the people who master the trade itself. I've yet to meet someone who mastered the trade without also mastering the tools they use.
I was approached by an Amazon recruiter that seemed to have used some sort of algorithmic tool that had keyed on specific information about in my github profile. Specifically, it mentioned that I had more than 1 public repository with 'stars' from more than 2 people and 1 or more forks. I asked the recruiter about this and she mentioned that she used a tool like this to find potential recruits. It didn't sound like it was a company-wide thing, though.
Excess protein intake (vast majority of diets, not exclusive to keto or paleo, etc.)

Human teeth development changed sometime during the industrial revolution when women were expected to work outside the home and breastfeeding norms were shortened from 3-4 years to more like 1 year. Or that's at least one interesting hypothesis from someone looking at old skulls.
FWIW you already can run lisp code as a script, at least under Linux. I've been doing the following for quite some time without issue:

--- xx

#!/usr/bin/clisp

(format t "yup")

---

and then on the command line:

> chmod a+x xx ; ./xx

yup

Caveat: You have to comment out the hashbang if you want to (LOAD 'xx) in the repl, or it will puke unceremoniously. It would be nice if repl devs allowed the LOAD function to simply treat it as a ; symbol since it wouldn't break anything and is more consistent with the cli behaviour.

I've only done this with clisp, so maybe other Lisp variants like sbcl et al already do this. YMMV.

EDIT: Realized the script came out all on one line. Fixed.
That's what everyone says and why the world is in the mess it's in.

Side loading is nice, but unless you can uninstall the play store and blacklist the google APIs without breaking your phone, you’re still forced to send them your data (or to switch away from Android).

So, they’re tying their market power in phone operating systems to their unrelated monopoly (duopoly?) in surveillance capitalism, and many peopfle unwillingly/unwittingly hand over their private information as a result.

If you consider the full suite of their products, you’ll find that all people that are on the internet (and some that are not) hand over such information, unwilling or not.
Great explanation, but very minor nit: technically speaking a number is only normal if it's normal in every base.
Google has a monopoly on search advertising which is not free.
I dance most nights of the week, and one thing that I wish this mentioned (that a lot of dances will tell you in advance now) is "don't wear scented deodorants or perfumes". When you get an entire room full of people with different colognes and perfumes, it makes a lot of people gag. Scentless deodorant or antiperspirant is fine, but beyond that avoid the sprays and lotions.
When I worked at Google as an intern, there were lots of people internally that were very aware that most of their core products don't have a locked in monopoly like Amazon, Facebook, or Apple do. For example, after the Cambridge Analytica stuff, lots of people wanted to leave Facebook, but mostly aren't able to due to network effects. In contrast, using Bing instead of Google Search is so easy that I do so occasionally when I'm having trouble finding something through Google. If their product was suddenly worse than the competition, they could lose their entire user base in days, because the network effects of personalized search are nowhere near the network effects of Facebook. The same is true for Maps, Gmail (data export is allowed), Drive, Photos, Chrome, Ads (for websites) and most of their other core products.
I guess the question of whether they "are a monopoly" is largely dependent on what your definition of monopoly is, but the lack of lock-in means they aren't able to exploit their market dominance in most of the ways that traditionally make monopolies problematic.
Google Play / Android is a good example where this is less true, although alternate Android app stores and OS's do exist (see Amazon's attempt to make Fire OS)
Actually, making the next hash dependent on previous hash through the `seed` doesn't work for benchmarking latency.

Several hashes only use the seed at the very end of calculation. Among them, CityHash, FarmHash, MeowHash, probably a few more. This makes it possible for them to start calculating next hash before the end of the previous one, so it's no longer "latency" for them, and the test condition becomes uneven.

In reality, in a latency scenario, the hash function is waiting for the input. So it's the input which must depends on previous hash result. This way, all algorithms must wait for previous result, no more dependency on how a specific algorithm handle the seed.
This is about a Norwegian government policy to not procure the products of deforestation.

Some countries limit the actual deforestation directly: for example, Article 5 of the
Bhutanese constitution from 2008 provides broad environmental protection and mandates that at least 60% of the country shall be forest at all times.
That same sentence made me stop reading. It's perhaps not an obvious point, but there are several dimensions that require excellence to succeed in entrepreneurship, and failing at passing the bar on any one of those dimensions make the probability of success drop dramatically.
Provided we consider artificial measures against monopolies ok, why not force Google to put Firefox advertisement on their search page now?
Some form of dental hygiene is common worldwide. So, you can find young people anywhere with a clean smile. But, the worst cases get really bad.

You're very welcome, I'm glad you're enjoying the music and thank you for commenting. I'm excited some people are offering to pay for the site but I intend to keep all of the music free so as many people can enjoy it as possible. I also like to listen when I need to concentrate. That's really the reason I made the site, so I have something to listen to while I work.
Is that something the EU should be funding?
This sort of MCAS failure presents itself to the crew as a trim runaway, and the instructions in the document continue:

4 If the runaway continues:

STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches (both) . . CUTOUT

If the runaway continues:

Stabilizer trim wheel . . . . . Grasp and hold

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

5 Stabilizer . . . . . . . . . . . . Trim manually

(That bit about grasping and holding the trim wheel was a surprise to me.)

This is what the Lion Air crew of the flight before the one that crashed did, in response to the same sort of MCAS failure, and completed the flight without further trouble. While Boeing made a serious error in hiding the differences between this variant and its predecessors, it seems that the prior trim runaway procedure does work for this sort of MCAS failure (unless evidence to the contrary comes out of the Ethiopian Airways investigation.)
For me it's the other way round. Figma canvas is silky smooth while Sketch drones on.

A speculative opinion piece. Here is another one: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/13/18263719/b...

Two planes of the same model crashing of is a statistical anomaly. Science is the correlation of hypothesis with statistical evidence. If I made a hypothesis saying that something is wrong with the 737 max then two 737 planes crashing is valid supporting evidence. Therefore, the decision to regulate is scientific.

The decision to not regulate and claim that there is no scientific evidence when their clearly is... is more likely to be a cover story to protect big businesses then an actual decision made to support your safety.
EU is at fault here

See in EU smoking is considered a personal choice as some girl told me

But healthcare is publicly funded and all tax payers subsidize wrong personal choices of other people.

This way even the people who are making sound decisions end up paying for people with irrational believes and bad decision making and choices

Now, in America - you get what you pay for and you never subsidize others bad choices. If you don't smoke, your insurance premiums are lower.

When demand for healthcare exceeds supply, all start receiving subpar healthcare as evidentially is happening across EU.

Healthcare demand is increasing due to aging population and tax revenues are falling as many industries have moved or are in the process of moving to America or China.

Anyone reading this can figure out how faulty the whole EU premise is based on. Universal healthcare etc.. is imposed by EU

Instead of Romania would have followed the American model, it would have progressed much better than the resource exploitation which is happening right now because of EU.
At the time that the terminal was being closed down, I mentioned it to someone at my company who had been a higher-up at an airline (very post-TWA) which used that terminal. His comment was basically that it was a really awful terminal :-)

Python's list of built-in functions is fairly small https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#built-in-fu... (but to be clear, I wouldn't ding somebody for forgetting about one of them).
Which is why I don't blame the NIMBY homeowners for doing it as much as I blame the current system for being designed to allow nonstop input from local groups. There is such a thing as too much democracy, and this is it.

Zoning should be made on the state or county level, and for every development that's planned to be built, if it follows the zoning, approve it. Enough of this nonsense "yeah it follows zoning but I don't like it".
A dentist told me that eating too many soft foods as a kid is often the reason for crooked and weak teeth, and that parents should feed their kids tougher whole foods, like apples, meat, carrots, nuts, etc.
Arm have finally started making a decent offline mBed IDE so hopefully in a year or two there will be no reason to use Arduino at all. The mBed API is much better and the range and price of boards is generally better too.

E.g. ST Nucleo boards are around £10. Or the nRF52 device board is £30 - that gets you a proper BLE/Thread/etc board with a fully documented radio peripheral. You can write your own radio protocol if you want.
Ah, agreed. But your comment didn't actually say that - you took something kinda small and leveraged it too far as it would define the web dev skills.

I was thinking of management as a way to escape downsides of working as a programmer.

Probably better to use a redis hash "map" instead of multiple keys. Redis will store these very efficiently too if you only have a few keys within it.
> To be perfectly honest Romania has as much economic importance to the functioning of the EU as the Arizonian desert does to the US.

This is a gross exaggeration. We are a country of around 20 million people and we export a diverse array of finished goods, not to mention setting up shop in Romania if you are a multinational company is very useful as the standard of living is lower and you can pay less than you would pay a German, for example.

> What the Romanian government has done with that money is frankly not something anyone really wants to investigate.

Actually it is investigated, nobody's really turning a blind eye to these things. The EU has an anti-fraud office specifically for this: https://ec.europa.eu/anti-fraud/home_en

Also, the European Public Proscutor's office will be set up in the very near future to specifically prosecute fraud concerning EU funds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Public_Prosecutor

On the military side, we host part of the NATO missile defense system.
It's private money. It can't really be wasteful basically by definition.

... Of course it can be wasteful to them personally, if they think it didn't achieve its aims. But considering the modest price, the fact that I'm even aware of it means it definitely did.
Ask HN: Finding Internal Peace?
Hello HN,

What do you do to find internal peace? Lately, I haven't been able to concentrate on anything. I work for one of the super stressful job at FAANG. Politics here is 100x bad than Game of Thrones. My manager treats me differently than anyone else. On one hand, he pretends to support me while on other he does everything he could to oppose me. His behavior is not congruent at all.

I had to call off almost decided marriage last year. I tried watching spirituality videos and all, but nothing works. I just can't leave and take a year off, as I am not US citizen or PR card holder.

I am going to get checked for vitamin D deficiency. I see so many people making half-million dollars as household income, and I just feel bad I am nowhere close.

How do you find internal peace in such a situation?
If you just want a bare bones http server of any kind, nginx is probably overkill in the first place.
When "success" means having your product shut down and getting yourself acquihired, we as an industry need to find a better definition of success.

Boeing made the decision to maximize profits by retrofitting an older model. There’s nothing involuntary about it.

They’ve released newer model planes that have gone through the review process fine, correct?
Ain't nobody got time for that. Pareto principle, my friend. I'm here to get the job done.
> I would disagree that Meritocracy only distinguishes between those with the same opportunities, and argue that a true Meritocracy can only exists when people are afforded generally the same opportunities. If everyone is playing with a different set of options or rules, success is inherently not based on skill, but at best on a combination of skill and the options/rules they were playing by.

That is just defining meritocracy in a way that causes it to be impossible. Some people are 5'0" and others are 6'6" and that is not a personal choice but it is also a relevant characteristic in the game of basketball.

There are two ways out of that. One is to define merit as including things like genetics and upbringing, so Gates is meritorious because he went to good schools and his parents had the money to expose him to computer hardware at a time when it was very expensive etc. causing him to know about business and code. But that's reaching the point of tautology -- if you're successful you're meritorious because merit is defined as things that produce success.

The other is to recognize opportunity as something separate from merit but still relevant to position. Some people never had the opportunity to go to medical school and so they can't be your doctor. Some people did have that opportunity, but didn't choose it, and they too can't be your doctor.

This allows us to recognize that not everyone has the same opportunities -- and that it is not even possible for everyone have the same opportunities, even if there are ways to improve the opportunities for some people, because there is still no way to make 5'0" people 6'6" -- while at the same time recognizing that the person who did become a doctor/engineer/CEO/etc. did so at significant personal effort when other, similarly situated people did not.

As we're on the subject.
Has anyone got any good pointers to any actually scientifically sound research/advice on gardening/growing crops on a smaller scale.

The amount of rubbish I've heard spouted by gardeners about what you should and shouldn't do is crazy.

And I'm not even talking about the more 'spiritual' side. Even seemingly mainstream type stuff like companion planting isn't internally consistent.
