"There are other things that are important to me that I didn’t want to give up, like

I know what this author is getting at, but as an employee, I like that my boss could be fired if they, e.g., were sexually harassing employees.

No. It means they charged too much. The fans were priced out of the market and, probably, acquired copies elsewhere.
On the flip-side, if you were to embrace using YAML for programming (i.e. by creating a programming "language" by treating certain YAML constructs specially), you'd likely end up with a homoiconic Lispy language (albeit a very weird one), just using YAML instead of S-expressions (maybe call 'em Y-expressions?).
The former. It's only the IEEE so they can't be expected to spell or fact check.
> But the implication here is that there will always be no shortage of low end minimum wage work

I'm not following how that's implied?

I think the implication is that there's no shortage of work that has positive value but less positive value than people are willing to pay for it.

Anyway, the idea is that if the economy is in good shape and most people are employed then the gov't is providing fewer jobs. If you have more slack then the number of gov't jobs goes up as the gov't spends more money (i.e. pays the people it's employing) and so the balance between spending and production doesn't change, thus keeping inflation in check.
I hate being a Pewdiepie advocate here, but this is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.

Christchurch terrorist was trying to make his attack as viral as possible and saying something like "subscribe to Pewdiepie" was the best way to create perfect shit-storm online achieving exactly this goal.

PDP never expressed any views adjacent to white-supremacy or whatnot. I've been following his story for quite some time and haven't seen any proof of the opposite that could be argued in good faith.

> including encouraging his fans to follow one of them

This is also while technically true, only presents half of the story. PDP has made a video promoting 40+ other youtube channels with low subscribers count. One of the channels he's promoted for making a funny anime review turned out to be pushing some questionable content outside of these anime reviews. PDP cut out this part from his original video and apologized. Seems like his only fault in this situation was not doing enough research before recommending those 40+ channels.

Again, I'm not a huge fan of his, but these kind of bad-faith attacks on someone who's just making funny meme videos on the internet seem very unjust and counter-productive.
Tips aren’t counted as wages because federal minimum wage is lower for service. Many restaurants are switching to just charging true price and removing tips, which clearly solves this problem.

At issue is that there are businesses that don’t want to pay market rates for labor but also don’t want to list the actual cost of the meal.
No. You chose to start out pointing the finger of blame at the media and adding a vague statement about fixing the issue is mere lip service.

You now go to the opposite extreme, employing the fallacy of the excluded middle and emotive language like 'brutal punishment' to invalidate an argument that was never made.

Your dishonesty only highlights the weakness of your position.
White supremacists also use highways. This is the level of logic I think is applied here.

> Give residents a legal right to open a bank account

Simpler: make it a requirement that the banks the city does business with have to offer free no-fee checking to city residents. ("Does business with" meaning issues bonds, holds deposits, does tax refunds, manages pensions, et cetera through.)

Requiring vendors sell a commercial product to anyone is legally tricky. It also adds yet another convoluted cost to launching a new bank in the city. That adds incumbency bias to an already monstrously incumbency-biased banking system.
> I’m more than willing to give up a bit of my extremely affluent lifestyle if it would genuinely help those around me who haven’t had the same economic opportunities as me.

But, this law does deny others the same economic opportunities as you. If you've lived in your older home and want to rent it out and move elsewhere, you are allowed to. However, your younger cousins who are buying just now (and thus considering newer homes) will not. Thus, this law simply protects the old guard while throwing the young people under the bus in the name of screwing the rich. Congratulations!
This is an interesting one because we’re also seeing an increase in propaganda and misinformation being propagated online by some pretty resourceful players. Doing absolutely no curation can also have some pretty significant consequences.
JIRA was fine. The recent UI changes are taking big steps backwards in both performance and usability. At least there is more white space on the screen now...
I read the article and this is what I got from it too. I `SELECT *` all the time and see hashed passwords. It is very rare that I need that hash, usually I'm doing something entirely unrelated, but it's just easy to get all the rows and only use what you need, especially when you are troubleshooting and don't even know what you need yet.
Those specific toll roads are only in Orange County, so having one location in Irvine isn't a big deal. Its not a statewide network.
Not really. With a slightly above modal salary, I can get a mortgage of roughly 180K, if I didn't have a student debt. A house, on average, will cost somewhere in the region of 300K this year.

Not that rent is more affordable though. Most not rent-controlled places require you to have a yearly income of around 50 times the monthly rent, which ensures it's nigh impossible to get any sort of decent place on a single income.

Of course, all of this is near the larger cities. In the countryside, you could probably get the same sort of place for two-thirds the money. However, you'd probably be travelling at least 1.5 hours one-way to your work.

Vendor Management Is a Core Competency
I was posting business cards offering my repair services on university posting boards at the time, and due to the volume of requests during the new semester I couldn't schedule the visit before they had to make the drop decision. (No, I wasn't the 'expert' who damaged their browser before they called me.)
I wouldn't limit it to smartphones, or the elimination of physical education, or the mainstreaming of online couch potatoing, or any other part of that. But overall, and there is more than one reason, domestic existence has become nearly universally white collar in the way time is spent. Desperate people can resort to using social media instead of taking things into the streets. And if you do go outside, you're in a much smaller minority, and the cops don't have to contend with a whole generation that will be there between you and them. That raises the encounter rate. In fact it's only in extremely wealthy extremely poor neighborhoods that i see children playing outside nowadays. That exacerbates the psychological strain on poor communities, especially black, because of the difference in how and where black communities are located versus the methodology of Hispanic and overseas immigrant population distribution. I think this is a reflection of the shift. Humans have become housepets to a society-changing extent. And housing geography has changed to a new phase of post-suburban internal migration. Police still exist to keep poor people from troubling the rich, but now the distances and physical barriers are greater and have systems built on top of them by the declines in population growth.
Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence.

Thank you, that's a kind thing to say. I find that if I cannot explain a topic clearly to someone else, I probably don't understand it very well myself. :-)
> did, and you choose to believe that it didn't. Why?

maybe the call was indeed real, but the call was from someone in management at Telsa, or someone at arms length that they got to do make the call. i agree this is speculation, if there is evidence that this is the case then whoever was involved stuffed up pretty badly. maybe i'm completely off the mark. as I said, i'd like to see it investigated.

Regardless of whether there was actually a call, or who made it, it's difficult to understand what other motivation any party other than Telsa trying to suppress a whistleblower would have to chase after the former employee. again, this is speculation, but i'd bet on it.

This.

Last time I've looked, there were rental appartments in Berlin that were on the market for as little as 500€/month, while equivalent apartments in Amsterdam went for over 1200€/month.
The deontological argument is that there is a rule requiring vendors to accept cash, whereas there isn't a rule limiting the max price they can charge.

I, too, find it easier to apply consequentialism, but bureaucracies work well when they have clear rules.

This wouldn't work with Amazon's grab-and-go vision. If someone loads $5 of cash on a card and walks out with $20 of product, what do you do?
The biggest autocomplete annoyance I find in some implementations is that they spring into action the moment you type a single character, and then do so much processing (in apparently the same thread) that they horribly slow down the entry of subsequent characters! You make mistakes due to the lag, and the whole experience is just shit. The run prompt in Microsoft Windows is like this.

Like, hold your horses for three or four seconds so I can type more, then you have less to search for. Prioritize my typing response time over the background search, damn it!

(Really, explicit auto-complete is best, like in command lines ("Tab completion")).

The second biggest gripe is autocomplete choices that dispatch the command. Sometimes you see an autocomplete item that is close to what you want, except for a small edit or addition. Nope, you can't just have that completion in your edit buffer for further refinement: that item is actually just an item in a dynamically constructed pop-up menu, bound to do the dispatch action.

Third gripe: caching invalid entries, such as misspellings, and offering them in future auto-completions! Browsers do this: you misspelled a domain name three weeks ago, so the resulting URL couldn't possibly load, but now it's still coming up as a completion item!
Ok, I have to be missing something here....

According to your statement:

Furthermore, since it's a directive each member state will need to implement it in a way that's compatible with both the directive and its own laws. The countries in the EU all have some sort of concept that's analogous to "fair use", even if that's not what they call it.

(which I'll take at face value as true), we have not just one directive, but 28 separate interpretations and enforcements of it because of the number of countries and their respective fair use language?

That's actually even worse!
> 1. The discount airlines have become masters at turnaround times. When the planes are sitting at the gate, they're not making money. They slashed these as much as they could.

As a european who moved to the US recently, this was mind boggeling the first time I boarded a plane in the US. I arrived at the airport expecting a typical 10 minute boarding time, but kept getting more surprised at how inefficient they managed to make boarding a plane as time passed. Just the time spend waiting in the plane at the gate before they let you get out seems to be longer in some cases than the typical turnaround time for euro flights.
But it's much easier to mirror the Internet Archive than it was to mirror Alexandria's library. In fact, it already has one official mirror (which is hosted by the modern library of Alexandria!).

FWIW, with today's typical Internet speeds and storage prices, it's entirely feasible for individuals to mirror the entirety of Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg (done both myself, and a bunch of other stuff like TED talks). Throw in a mirror of the entire Debian source package repository, and there's your apps, too. How many copies are already around? Who knows, but I'd say we already have a lot more redundancy than at any point in the past.

Of course, IA is to any of these like these are to what you could store locally circa 90s. I don't think we're going to be at the point where an individual can easily store 40 petabytes of data anytime soon. But for large entities - governments and corporations - this is feasible. And I suspect there are some private full IA mirrors out there already, in places like NSA's Utah data center.

And then you can make distributed backups, too: http://iabak.archiveteam.org/
Yes.

And back in the day sysadmins wrote programs like tcp_wrappers, postfix, sendmail, etc. It was definitely common and encouraged if not expected.

The idea that system admins should be able to get away with never professionally stepping up to doing programming is a late-90s/early-00s aberration that was generated by the need to scale up during the dot com boom before good automation practices existed. And it is not a good thing and it stunts intellectual growth. Devops is in some sense back-to-the-future by tearing down an artificial wall that never should have been made in the first place.

As someone currently doing this: I miss nothing. Walmart offers free 2-day shipping on most goods I would typically order from Amazon, and often cheaper. Best Buy has whatever tech thing I want, I get it same-day, and price-matched at Amazon, and I know it isn't counterfeit. Most book publishers (my original reason for using Amazon) have long ditched the platform and directed me towards ordering direct from them which usually nets me reduced price/shipping. Apple music is better than Amazon Music. Audible is separate anyways, having Prime didn't help me out much there. Netflix is better than Amazon streaming, and so on.

The biggest benefit so far? I am generally ordering less stuff overall. I felt like I had to order x amount of stuff to make my prime membership "worth it", but it was never "worth it". It just resulted in me spending more money with Amazon, even if I had better alternatives around me.

Ask HN: What was your experience with a virtual assistant?
Have you had any experience with a dedicated virtual assistant? What was it like? Was it worth it? Were there any pitfalls or negatives that you would forewarn about?

I'd like to hire a virtual assistant for about 10 hours per month to handle phone calls, day-to-day minutiae, scheduling, utilities, etc. This would require giving access to my personal information. Is this a concern or non-concern?
Yes, and no.

To the railroads it gets higher priority. But if a freight train bocks a passenger train the railroad gets fined by the hour (quarter hour?).

However, the freight railroads often just eat the fine as a cost of doing business. Like delivery companies do with parking tickets.
It's all relative to who the customer is. In this case it's business and the focus is right in line with their desires.
The problem is that most consumers' revealed preference is for better performance rather than replaceability or device longevity (I know some people here will express a different preference, but you are a minority of consumers). Consumers don't factor device longevity into their purchase decisions, so companies don't prioritize it during the design process. And it needs to be prioritized because design decisions for longevity involve tradeoffs with other device performance metrics like size, weight, battery life (you can improve battery longevity by decreasing the depth of discharge of the battery before a recharge is required), processor performance, price.

Unfortunately this article clearly demonstrates the problems companies face when they try to improve longevity at the cost of performance. Apple implemented processor throttling based on measured battery condition to improve the longevity of their devices, but even in this article, seemingly focused on device longevity, they still receive criticism for this decision:

"But even consumers who hang onto their old iPhones for as long as possible learned in 2017 that Apple released a software update that slows down old phones to counteract aging lithium-ion battery problems."
I agree that it's a likely application which would reduce the manual effort involved. Someone is probably doing something with it (is there anything someone isn't trying to apply machine learning to these days?), but I'm not familiar with anything specific.

It depends on how many users you have and what sort of data you're protecting. If you have a billion users then sending password reset tokens to your analytics provider is a very serious vulnerability. If you have 100 users and you're running a generic message board then it's not really a vulnerability because the difficulty of that method of attacking the assets under protection almost certainly exceeds their value.

The difference here is that the incentives of workers and this company are aligned. Either workers start making some serious wages and the company gets their money back (with interest), or both lose - worker their time, company their investment. Given the risk I don't think this is even close to usury. In fact, I would assume they are getting paid by the companies too, for privilege of getting the suitable candidates (which is not a problem in my eyes, if true).

That he has any press whatsoever is a grand thing. I honestly know folks that spend as much time promoting themselves as they do working on artwork. I in no way thing that is what this man has done.

Now, more specifically, GE or any company as such: Considering the scope of this man's research and skills, they may or may not be interested in the artistic side of his skills. This is a man who has studied engineering, has spent numerous years looking at the details of airplane design, and has constructed delicate, movable parts alongside support bearing parts for that airplane ... out of freaking paper. This project could be the antithesis of art. It could be the most hideous thing you or I have laid eyes on. But nevertheless, it took serious dedication and attention to detail. The man worked with a material to the full potential that he has been able to do and designed parts. I can seriously see why this man would wind up working for GE. The artwork is a secondary but very complimentary skill.

Personally, I would absolutely love this man to get that and use it to, in part, fund his artistic career. Imagine if he took his skills and was more free with them. He could make impressive futuristic and surrealistic scenes with these skills. Miniature worlds, movie models, and so on.

(Full disclosure: I'm an artist, of the sort that doesn't make much money from my work. If I were rich, I'd fund my own art fun to a larger degree.)

> It's premised on the idea that you can dynamically change the hash function such that eventually you will find one with fewer than some fixed number of items sharing the same hash value.

Why would you think there are any fixed numbers? The OP is about a stdlib hash table (for Rust). Comparable hash table implementations all resize the table when necessary to decrease the load factor. Performance with respect to load factor still matters, of course, less resizing is better, but there are no fixed numbers of anything.

> It completely undermines the "worst-case constant lookup", because there is no upper bound on the number of times you might have to change the hash function and rebuild the table before you find one with sufficiently few collisions.

Why would you need to change the hash function or rebuild anything during lookup? It's lookup. Nobody is changing anything.

> It is a much stronger requirement on the keys than other hash tables have.

What hash table doesn't require keys to be hashable?

well... when your renting you know that your rent payment is the top of what you will pay a month. If you own the house, you also need to pay its taxes, repairs, upgrades, etc.. so it makes sense that you must pay more than just the mortgage payment to rent, its less risk.
