The consultations might have had a different result if there had been a practical multiple-choice test with questions that link the idea of DST to actual consequences. Like:

Would you like to go to work in the light or in the dark during winter time?

Would you like to have some daylight while having barbecue at 9pm in the summer.

...

(My concern is that people had no idea of the practical consequences beside sucks-to-have-to-get-up-one-hour-earlier and will be in for a rude awakening)
It is an interesting experiment but if it is really a tool for social change then the ability to correct one's score can't really rely entirely on things where the individual has no control.

In the US getting a felony on your record is perhaps the biggest limiter to your future success that you can do. There are so many things stacked against you at that point. In California there is at least a process for getting some felonies expunged, which allows you to get back on to the playing field of life without that weight dragging you down.

The article seems to make the case that the only way the victim could get their status restored was to come up with money somehow to repay debts.

I don't understand the fear of the social credit system. It doesn't seem too different from the American credit scoring system.

They are both systems designed by the elites to shape the behavior of commoners.

Why do I have to regularly use a credit card to prove that I am credit worthy, so that I can get a bank loan to buy a house?
My opinion, from my own experience: Sure, that definitely works. But the choice of cutting fat is kind of arbitrary. You can do the same with sugar & carbs and get basically the same result w.r.t weight loss. I think this illuminates the real underlying issue with modern diets which is not that we eat "too much of X", but rather "too much of everything, too frequently". Approaches like this work not because "fat is bad" or "carbs are bad", but because they provide a simple, concrete framework for diet choices that ends up reducing overall calorie consumption.

Show HN: A good excuse to explore that side project idea
If you're like me, you have at least a half-dozen (half-baked) ideas for side projects sitting on your "idea shelf" waiting for the right opportunity to come along and give you that spark to get started.

At my day job (Bridge.Academy), we found that many of the incoming developers entering our program shared the same experience so we decided to do something about it and formalize the process of picking up a new technology you are trying to learn and applying it through a side-project with a program we're calling "The Bridge Tournament".

It's designed to give you that extra bit of motivation to take your side project idea off the shelf, pick up a brand new technology and start building the damn thing.

Here’s how it works
Each month new applicants to join Bridge.Academy participate in a tournament in order to demonstrate their ability to quickly pick up new skills through working on a project of their choosing.

Applicants receive points based on their progress. The more impressive your pace of improvement, the higher your score will be and better your chances of winning.

The Process
Submit your application · Due this Sunday. You’ll describe yourself and your project.
Vote on projects · Monday. Other applicants & Bridge Mentors will also vote on your application. Applicants will only see some of your responses.
Submit weekly updates · Due every Sunday. You’ll submit a progress update once a week.
Vote on updates · Every Monday. Get points from other applicants based on your progress. The more impressive your work, the higher your score will be.

More on the process here:

What stands out to me (other than this being an amazing collection, especially as a big Edward Tufte fan) is the use of radial/web diagrams.

The idea that variables can have relationships in more than 2-dimensions seems to have been lost.

I'm actually using a d3 version of these for a blog post I'm working on about machine learning and data companies, and the example code for creating beautiful radial charts (not mine) can be found here: https://github.com/kolektiv/maturity-radar

As someone who has developed a product that uses Sankey diagrams to represent complex relationships, this catalogue from the past gives me some hope for the future. :)

It's a little bit more complex. Everyone wants the profit, no one wants the liability. Everyone wants data they can sell to advertisers, no one wants responsibility for handling it.
Anyone can fork. But with the way android works vendors will no longer have to release their kernels for their android versions. This is one of the main reasons projects like lineage can exist as you can build and modify a kernel for almost every device on the market.

I just winged it and got this. It was an extremely mechanical GADT to write. Once you've seen one correct-by-construction dependent type, you've seen them all. Just follow the north star (Curry-Howard)!

{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}

module ABCD where

import Data.Kind (Type)

data N = Z | S N

data AtMostN (n :: N) (ts :: [Type]) where
AMN_Nil :: forall m. AtMostN m '[]
AMN_Pass :: forall t m rest. AtMostN m rest -> AtMostN m (t ': rest)
AMN_Cons :: forall t m rest. t -> AtMostN m rest -> AtMostN (S m) (t ': rest)

Let's try to have two optional booleans but say that at most one can be present:

λ: AMN_Cons True (AMN_Cons True AMN_Nil) :: AtMostN (S Z) '[Bool, Bool]

<interactive>:7:1: error:
• Couldn't match type ‘'S m0’ with ‘'Z’
Expected type: AtMostN ('S 'Z) '[Bool, Bool]
Actual type: AtMostN ('S ('S m0)) '[Bool, Bool]
• In the expression:
AMN_Cons True (AMN_Cons True AMN_Nil) ::
AtMostN (S Z) '[Bool, Bool]
In an equation for ‘it’:
it
= AMN_Cons True (AMN_Cons True AMN_Nil) ::
AtMostN (S Z) '[Bool, Bool]

The type error requires some interpretation, but it sees that we set two. Note the ('S ('S m0))

We can say at most two are set and now it compiles:

λ: AMN_Cons True (AMN_Cons True AMN_Nil) :: AtMostN (S (S Z)) '[Bool, Bool]

And we can set just one and compile fine as well:

λ: AMN_Pass (AMN_Cons False AMN_Nil) :: AtMostN (S Z) '[Bool, Bool]

This is a bare-bones example. We can easily add a lot of sugar on top to make it more ergonomic (maybe even custom type errors)
As a FastMail customer and strong AMP opposer, I do understand FastMail's position that they may support AMP for compatibility. It's the unfortunate nature of the beast that most people have Gmail, and emails are hence sent under the expectation that the end user probably has Gmail. FastMail would be shooting itself in the foot to not implement AMP for Email if it becomes popular, because people expect their email service to work with the emails everyone else is sending.

However, if FastMail does add AMP for Email support, I expect them to do much more to ensure I can see the historical record of AMP data, and for them to take significant measures to ensure that user privacy is protected. And of course, that we can just shut it off.
Restructuring the Braze Product Team
But does it really have to be that difficult? It's absolutely possible to build a system where you can deploy a docker container with a single click and host your own content on that. Add federation into the mix, and you'll get some kind of meta-Youtube or -Bandcamp, comprised of thousands of individual instances, which do not even need to be on the same hosting service.

The blogosphere was similar to that, before everyone gave up and went to Facebook.
Yeah I'm no CCP supporter but sick of the bad takes on this. China has no national credit reporting system and it's very difficult to enforce civil court judgments across city/provincial lines. "Social credit" systems are mainly intended to help with this problem. The person in the article is in trouble for not paying his debts, not political activity or having the wrong friends.

I'm sure the CCP would love to use social credit as another tool of repression, but for now they're having enough trouble getting a normal credit reporting system going.
And that is good. If they don't want to do it, the jobs will go elsewhere
I have been in almost the same situation for the last two years. It's my mother that nearly died, her husband who now has power of attorney and uses this as an excuse to prevent us from even trivial medical information. It's far worse than just that actually. Worst battle I've ever gone through. Through careful emotional chess I now have won the peace, but he still won't tell us what medicines she is prescribed. It's an emotional trigger for him, a challenge to his leadership. You can't win against people like this because when they experience loss it makes them even harder to deal with.
FWIW I live a bit further north, at 63 degrees. In winter, at least december and january, we're in the state of "dark when you go to work, dark when you go home". However for the approx. two months between autumn equinox and end of november, and similar two months from end of january to spring equinox, having one more hour of daylight in the afternoon would be really really nice.
Meanwhile, Silicon Valley employees frequently complain about the free lunches, coffee and snacks not being good enough.

Your comment made me imagine a parody article where suddenly Christianity is really popular in SV and the author lambasts techies for their love of suffering, their cynical beliefs that all people are born sinners, their belief in an all-mighty-all-powerful lord to whom you must submit to be saved, etc etc. It'd be pretty funny.
Both max out the 401(k) per the article and then the article adds (disingenuously), “only $7,300 left each year to go towards other savings goals, investment accounts or retirement funds.” Boohoo.

About the same as being a released felon in the United States. We also allow financial information to be pulled for background checks in the United States:

We already have what is functionally a social credit system in the United States, you'll find the people suffering under it getting harassed by ICE boarding greyhound buses.
You're right. Thanks for the detail.

As far as I know, (and correct me if I'm wrong), China didn't have a credit score system as developed as what we're used to in the US (i.e. Equifax, TransUnion, etc.)

But what the social credit system represents is a leapfrog over that to something much more invasive and ubiquitous. I don't want to know if my contractor once smoked in a no-smoking area, of if they buy too many video games. But I do want to be able to check their contractor's license and make sure there aren't complaints.
I always wonder about the latency with satellite internet. A friend tried HughesNet one time. I tried to tell him, "I hope you don't care about online gaming..." Sure enough, the link had good bandwidth, but horrid latency. A TCP connection would take >2 seconds to establish.
>I don’t get it. There are two (harsh! Direct!) statements, followed by a relatively low-emotional-intensity question. So the “these should be statements” angle doesn’t make any sense to me, they’re already statements. Are you expecting people to just say “cut it out”, with no conversational room for a discussion?

Depends on the situation. A reliable employee that suddenly starts showing up late would get the "Is everything ok?" talk. A perpetually late employee on there last strike would get the "cut it out" talk without a lot of need for discussion. The point is that you need to pick one. A "cut the crap but is everything ok?" message doesn't work.

If you genuinely care about what's true or not, look up the largest newspapers by circulation for a couple of European countries. I've only done it for Germany and the UK; in both cases the market is dominated by conservative publications, particularly right wing tabloids.

Purely on that basis, the media as consumed has a bias for being conservative and also pretty dumb (as tabloids tend to be).
One could think of their predicament like middle management, the big companies had some skill at delivering content which is how they got so big. So society also promoted them into the job of moderating content, a job which they were unskilled at doing. Maybe this is a case of companies, like people, rising to the level of their incompetence and staying there because of lack of ability(the appropriate tech) or will(customer/employees revolting against a policy) to move upwards.
This is the context everyone needs to share when telling their story of startup compensation.

It very much looks like you got screwed on equity even before dilution.

An early and somewhat senior employee should be getting anywhere from 0.5% to 1%. If the company is high quality, raised funding on standard terms and is actually successful, you'll still get diluted but not down to 0.02%.

Your comp sounds off by an order of magnitude based on what I can infer.

The fact that you didn't know how many total shares were outstanding at the time you were granted your ISO options is more proof that you likely got screwed.

Not all startups are like this.

> There's no particular reason email needs to sit around in the gutter while the rest of the web gets more

In my view, that's not "email sitting around in the gutter", that's "email retaining things that make it valuable".

Also, email is not, and should not be, the web -- so "the rest of the web" is a bit of a nonsequitor.
Pure gold pun right here:

Not at all defending the system here, but the article exaggerates quite a bit when talking about the trains.

I have taken a similar train from Shanghai to Shenyang, it was also a bit north of 30 hours. Sure, it was not very clean and as everywhere you may encounter unconventional people but in general it's not at all the deadbeat caravan they paint it out to be.

What i meant was that even if you like the concept oftrigger warning, surely you wouldn’t think that they will make reading the content less painful? I always assumed that the idea is that people should be able to avoid reading it altogether, I can’t see how it could possibly help reading the works “Trigger warning: rape” before reading about a rape, it would still remind you of the traumatic experience.
I am the author of the piece.

I've been a writer and editor for more than a decade, though I'm pretty new to FEE. Our organization is reputable; we've been around since the 1940s after being launched by Henry Hazlitt and Leonard Read. (You can read about us on Wiki here: https://bit.ly/2tCS4tY.)

Like any publication, we have our views (economics, free markets, and liberty) but we have an immaculate rating from Newsguard. This particular used sound sources--the New York Times, a Columbia Unv. study, and Popular Mechanics. It was also shared by multiple high profile economists. I think if you read the piece carefully, you'll see there is both an economic and environmental concern regarding mandatory recycling. Recycling makes sense in some cases, but not in others. It's also expensive and environmentally harmful in some cases--which is why hundreds of US cities are giving up on it (per the NYT). Happy to discuss the topic.

The "backlash" was mostly centered around the promises made by the game creator and the demo's they showed.

It had everything to do with what promised / implied vs what was actually delivered.

If the creator had slapped a Open Beta tag on the box and charged $20 (and simply upped that number as they got closer to release), everyone would probably still be talking about it.

But instead they delivered on 25%-50% of what they claimed was in the game.

FWIW: I kind of feel the opposite. Or at least I think the experience is a real trade-off. The skills I gained as a first employee at a startup were more along the lines of business and marketing. The engineering skills required were pretty trivial: manage a small Heroku setup, write early backend and frontend app boilerplate, spin up an initial db schema, integrate CSS from a contract designer, work on email templates, set up analytics, etc. Most startups never get big enough to start hitting the really tough challenges. On the other side of the coin, when I joined a big four company, I was immediately dropped onto a team with the challenges that come with huge scale and have grown more from that experience. I may have a skewed perspective because I already learned most of the skills I exercised as a first employee by being an early member of a team at an established small company, but I think even so the point stands; I was able to grow similarly with a bit more pay and a lot more stability without being at a startup. You're right about meeting investors though, but I'd argue that having a network of investors is not (or at least should not be) a requirement to be a software professional.

Those places (IBM, Oracle, etc.) also tend to pay much better than startups, have better equity packages, and more room to learn things. Just look at angel.co. It's common to see everything from "no salary" to "$90k", plus equity, in the listings for Bay Area startups. It's much more rare to see salaries above about $150k. These days working for a startup doesn't make any sense at all, for any reason, unless you're literally a founder (with double-digit equity).

> If he had money to buy an airline ticket, they told the South China Morning Post, he should use it to repay what he owed.

This line of thinking spans cultures and completely ignores the velocity or time value of money. It is extremely counterproductive and doesn't factor in what someone is trying to do.

This punitive approach to all forms of spending and consumption hampers the productivity of nations.

A simplistic analysis like this has no way to distinguish someone shirking their debts, and someone reinvesting in a future business prospect, or just unwinding! All humans want to unwind.

People with lower debt ratios do the same thing. They don't always pay things down, don't always prioritize debts in any particular order. So this privilege shouldn't disappear just because someone is visibly having money challenges or merely known to have a creditor.
