The current unemployment rate is < 4%. We're nearing never before seen lows. And that record was set in 1950, when the total labor force (as a percent of the population) was much smaller since women generally did not need to work.

You're talking like being offered a job is some unique luxury. Maybe for extremely desirable jobs, but if a job is extremely desirable you generally just precluded the possibility of the employer being some dysfunctional drug addict - which makes your argument a nonstarter.

So many companies in so many industries are just starving for good employees.
Uber won't survive the wait for self driving cars, it's simply to far way, even if we take the most optimistic estimates. Uber is burning cash they do not have, trying to make self driving cars work. People seems focused on how much revenue Uber has, but Uber doesn't need revenue, they need profit to finance their R&D.

After the IPO I'd give it a year before the investors starts to demand slashing drivers pay, and cancelling the self driving car project.

I am a Kenyan Man aged 36 years and an information & communication Technology Graduate. I have worked in logistics for more that 12 years and therefore have a very good experience as regards supply chain Business. Back in 2014, I registered a limited Company together with another Kenya who has dual citizenship and therefore stays in Switzerland. The company is basically for import and Export Services and has been able to execute several Tenders including Supplies to the Korean Army in Bor. We are also into importing dressing Materials used in Export containers and have already initiated on importation of Copy Papers into Kenya and are pushing the project to its final stages.

Our office is located in Mombasa with small representation in Nairobi and Kisumu.

We are interested in getting a foreign investor who can join us by either Financing our current projects or bringing in a product that we can help penetrate the local market. We are very flexible and open for discussion on mode of execution.

Some of the Products to be targeted for import include;

1. Salad Master Source pans
2. Stationary
3. Rice & Sugar
4. Construction Materials (Tiles, Tools & Materials)
5. Computers & Electronics

What kind of fees do you pay to exchange coins from your balance into dollars?
Sorry, I don't mean I consider sex to be disgusting, I consider hearing about people I don't care having sex disgusting. I think sex is wonderful but personal.

I feel most people think like that:

No talking openly about sex = being shy / narrow minded
In a way this is great but in another way it's the worst. It's nice to have a practical way to use Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) to buy things in the vast majority of places that don't take Bitcoin.

On the other hand, I have always considered one of the main concepts with cryptocurrency to be the potential ability to avoid third parties taking a cut of all of your digital transactions. This turns it into just another way for big companies like Visa or Coinbase to get rich just on the basis that people need to exchange money.

The basic idea for me with cryptocurrency is that since it's our money we shouldn't have to give control of it to third parties just for basic usage. We have math, the internet, and plenty of computers. We should not need Visa or Coinbase.
The amount of KYC/AML nonsense you have to go through with Coinbase UK is higher than Monzo/Revolut/Transferwise/Starling, so if you qualify for Coinbase UK card you qualify for any number of better solutions. If you refer to the conversion of crypto to fiat, you simply withdraw to your Monzo or whatever and spend, yes it's an extra click but it beats the embarrassment of card rejected as acceptance of these clown cards is very hit and miss (despite the Visa/MC network backing).
Seems like this would introduce an unwelcome element of pricing uncertainty into every transaction. Instead of knowing at the point of purchase that my latte will cost me $3.95, it's going to cost me some unknown amount of bitcoin depending on the rate Coinbase happens to use at the moment it processes the transaction.

I accept this kind of uncertainty when I use my existing card abroad (although in some cases, the POS terminal offers to do the currency conversion up front); but I don't much care for the idea of introducing such price volatility into all my everyday purchases.
That's not true in the UK.

Police can use reasonable grounds to search and they don't need a dog to alert to give them those reasonable grounds.

The dogs, if used, in the UK probably are sniffing actual drugs.

I don't think it's silly, more of an extended field test which might cause some people to put their phones away. Everyone involved is probably thinking it's of marginal benefit at the moment, but the field-test data can be used to develop the tech. Seems perfectly reasonable.

The alternative would be to go "big bang" on a half-baked technology which would repeatedly fail to secure convictions. That would be silly.
The "fire in a crowded theater" argument was created by advocates of the prevailing moral panic, in fact. The panic in question was anti-war and anti-draft propaganda by socialist parties in the USA during WW1, and the phrase originated in a Supreme Court ruling that said that it's legal for the federal government to imprison people for speaking such horrible things.

It never ceases to amaze me how common this trope remains in defense of censorship, given that it was designed as a slippery slope.

It seems like the argument you are making is that a sector cannot be wasteful because it has low margins. In order to accept that argument, one would have to agree in advance that the sector has a net positive value to society and should definitely exist. Agreeing that the sector should exist makes it impossible to seriously discuss whether the sector should exist.

The value of a sector to its host civilizaiton is the amount by which its externalities exceed its revenues. If the sector were eliminated, those revenues could be directed elsewhere.

In the case of Hollywood, the value of the movies produced is worth at least as much as people are willing to pay to see them. Solvency here is evidence of net positive value.

Even in a vilified industry like big tobacco, the value of the product is worth more to the people paying for it than their money is. Solvency here is evidence of net positive (perceived) value.

But in the case of the private medical insurance sector, the amount of benefit that all customers receive has to be less than the amount that all customers pay. Solvency is evidence of net negative value, unless there are some other externalities. So, what could those be? Fire insurance can prevent disruptions to a city. But can private medical insurance prevent public health hazards? I don't see why it would be better suited to do so than a single-payer alternative.
> but I feel like you'd get less freedom in your sexual life if everybody was talking openly about it. Part of why I think that way is: people have weird fetishes for example, you could think in a society where you can talk openly about sex and you sexual life you could talk about your weird fetish, but I don't think that's the case, only "popular" fetishes / sexual preferences would be discussed, and "weird" fetishes / sexual preferences would be seen as degenerate.

In Chuck Rhoades words: "... At best, maybe on the way you tell someone who you really are. And maybe they like it. And maybe you feel just a little bit more comfortable in your own skin, as I finally do in mine!"

Presumably the card provider would aggregate everyone's latte purchases together at the end of the day and make a single transaction on behalf of all their users.

The provider could either eat the change in price over the day, or pass it back to the user by first presenting an estimated amount and then a final amount when the transaction is completed when the market next opens.
>What part of the first amendment exonerates knowingly attempting to crack NTLM keys of US military logins?

The whole First Amendment, which explicitly exists to defend the freedom of the press. What sort of person thinks that its legal, desirable, or consistent with a free society for the government to tell individuals at the point of a gun what they are allowed to do or say? What sort of sick society do we live in where a significant portion of the populace thinks that its acceptable that government claims of secrecy are sacrosanct and beyond question? The whole case against Assange is based on Wikileaks' exposure of US war crimes via the Bradley/Chelsea Manning leak almost a decade ago. None of the war criminals exposed by those leaks have been prosecuted - only those who exposed their crimes. Anyone who isn't absolutely outraged and disgusted by this is a blot on society and a moral failure in every way.

I would love to know what percent of stock market decisions are meta-decisions. In other words, most discussion of the market discuss it in idealized terms - as if it's largely made up of rational actors making long-term decisions - but it doesn't seem like that's the driving force for market swings. It seems more like it's a bunch of people trading speculatively on how a collection of rational actors should react to news.

Not true, only 3/4 of it. And it's not an explanation, otherwise they could give the same aid to any other country, but they don't.

In fact, launching a debit card now is quite simple and fast if you're using an issuer. Especially the one like Paysafe. The only question is why do that with Paysafe, who have quite a reputation as an issuer, other than speed of the launch.

With Apple Arcade - I think it is purely a coincidence, but Apple definitely wants deeper into the gaming market now - even being there for quite some time and quite some share with iPhone and iPad.
That's a can of worms unleashed that I never knew!
East-Asians usually put the last name before the first name, and most Japanese last name pronounced different, so there is no problem to them phonetically.
This is great news. I recently just found out about this and have tried a few things with ease. I can see this going as the standard game Deb for open source if you don't want to or are unable to create your own engine / libraries.
With Apple it is different due to the depth of integration with the ecosystem, and also it is a credit card, not a debit card.
Both. If a journalist gets a story on French, is it a crime if they publish it in English? Should it be a crime to decode information you possess?

I think the question is, does it stop being terrorist if a revolution happened in the past, but the actions are still recognized as having being terrorism? Are Jacobine writings terrorist in nature, for example? How about a scan of Pravda circa 1918, with headlines like "Long live the Red Terror!"?
My question to you would be why is one of Orban’s culture war stunts on Hacker News? This didn’t just happen. Porgy and Bess has been around a long time, and this has literally never been a problem before.

It would probably fall foul of hacking laws even if technically possible (which it isn't). They just don't want to say it is a camera based system for fear of... vandalism?

An image classifier with a human check doling out fixed penalties would be more effective than this. So would a warning system on phones that shamed drivers. Neither are within the resources of the police to develop (as nearly all police in the UK are local).

If I've read this correctly, the theory states that depression heralds from damaged connections between synapses in a brain region regulating mood. Fixing these connections can be induced by stimulating the synapses in that area in a specific way, which Ketamine does.
The effect appears to be transient, which means the damage returns after a while, requiring additional treatments.
If there was a way to stop the disruption of connections in that brain region permanently, you would not need repeat Ketamine treatments.
Interactive Brokers offers such a debit card to US clients, albeit not by selling assets automatically, but by using the cash balance or a margin loan backed by the assets. You can then decide which assets to sell (and when to sell them) to cover for the payments made.
1. Be a city council
2. Create an open source competitor for integrated transport management
3. Destroy profit
> You're confusing two different things

both things are true. having edge nodes cuts latency between the client and edge, but it also allows priority for longer distances if you have a private network connecting your edges.

> There is nothing to prioritize when nothing has to be dropped.

Prioritization is absolutely required for any safety critical application (remote control in a bunch of different fields). No matter how over-provisioned a network is it can always be flooded, and for a safety critical applications that is unacceptable.

For the high value applications of the future guaranteed low latency delivery is an absolute requirement. You cannot get that with "net neutrality" rules.

The only reason to impose rules that make next gen applications impossible on public networks is to decrease competition for private networks.
I'm one of tech leads for a company that doesn't really deal with anything that sensitive but routinely drug tests, I'm convinced it's just a way to get rid of employees they don't want. I have failed the drug tests 5 out of 5 times with substances significantly more frowned upon than cannabis and have yet to receive anything more than a chuckle when being handed the results while at the same time I've seen multiple others fired on their first offence. Go figure.

I can't tell if you are trolling me, or just willfully being contrary. Nothing you are saying here holds up under even the most basic logical scrutiny.

If your justification is that regardless of his actions the net result was "good" for the people. You run into an undefended slippery slope.

If we murder everyone in the US, that has deadly communicable diseases, or hereditary genetic disorder and we wipe the diseases out, that's "good" for the people, and the harm when compared to the whole is trivial as long as you kill less than say 30 million people. We can never hold ourselves to this sort of standard and claim we have any form of justice.

On the other hand, the law is far to ridge without the human factor, and hence the jury, a jury can nullify a case if they so choose, and simply agree that this person violated the law, but did it for a reason that his peers felt they deserved no punishment.

I'm not saying that Assange, so go to jail, I'm simply suggesting that he has to have his day in court, if what the state is saying is to be show through evidence to be true, or false. And that if his group of peers feels that after hearing all the specific details of the case from both sides, determine if what he did is right or wrong.
I share your thoughts right down to the point about physically beautiful and carefully considered products. For example - I don't care how good a Razer mouse is, I would hate to stare at that aesthetic all day. It would really get to me.

It looks like it's true.

Use a dog. Pretend it's reasonable grounds.

Yes it is and that's how you use a dog to discriminate and maintain the legal fiction.
I dunno, I think you're more likely to find drug addict "employers" in some of the most sought-after businesses -- movies, music, fashion, sports -- compared to normal, boring jobs...
This is anecdotal, but I think the common perception is that voting just doesn't matter - politicians make promises to get votes and don't follow through after the elections. And it's the same politicians cycling in and out, year after year. Clearly people are voting for them, but just as clearly there is a large portion of the population that feels like their concerns aren't being addressed.
What's interesting is that the people I know personally who've more or less given up on politics can't be clearly identified as belonging to a specific demographic. Some of them are students, some are male knowledge workers in their 20's and 30's, some are female medical professionals and administrators in their 50's and 60's. My father, who is an academic, has the most faith in the political process among the people I know.

> That's what the author called "alt" and I don't understand why the author objects to it.

His "neutral pseudocode" is Go, which lacks good support for parameterized types. As a result there would be quite a bit of boilerplate code in doing things this way.

This is also why the author remarks "For trivial examples this works well, but for more complicated types with complex keys, it may require creating new types."

This post is a nice example of why it is important to eliminate friction from a a language if you want to get people to use a particular feature. However, the goal of removing friction interacts poorly with an observation Bjarne Stroustrup once made, that:

* For new features, people insist on LOUD explicit syntax.

* For established features, people want terse notation.

That is, when a feature is new to a programmer, they want it to be loud to remind them that something unexpected is happening, and once it is known to them they want it to disappear so they can focus on their problem -- and if it doesn't disappear, the solution using it will be so noisy they won't do it that way.

I expect the ultimate solution to this problem involves IDE design, rather than language design....

Equating taking a dump to the strongest social bond we form in our lives, and for most defines us and our lives more than anything else is... poor choice of words to be polite, very very polite.

Christianity had caused a millenia-lasting trauma on western civilization due to its views on sexuality as something sinful and necessary evil, and those views are unfortunately still part of our society to large extent. It will still take a few more generations to undo what has been done, if we keep the current course.

By no mean I do advocate for some extroverty discussion about everything with everybody, I don't get why people immediately get this knee-jerk reactions and think only in extremes, but some healthy middle ground would benefit us all. Actually I get it, it comes from our messed-up legacy from religions.

Discussion about healthy sex life, what it means to live good life, about death etc. should be definitely part of upbringing. There wouldn't be these clueless masses of teenagers/young adults most of us were part of sometime in our lives.
