>That’s very shortsighted. First of all the spying that your own government does has to be lawful, whereas in the eyes of a foreign government you have no rights.

Do you think the Snowden leaks showed clear violations of the 4th amendment to the US constitution? If so, this whole argument is null and void. Believing that a surveillance state will follow it's own laws is just plain silly, that's not how the world works.
Not even remotely possible. None of the sources in the India explosion are energetic enough to move debris that high. By a large margin.
Buildings are movable.

It’s probably even more important to know income sources of government employees (I write this as a former employee of state and federal government). And FWIW you can lookup the salary of all federal employees, and that of government employees in certain states.

As a side note, this transparency helps expose potential corruption in handling evidence, awarding defense contracts, etc.
I think that's really short term thinking. The world doesn't need more workers (especially with automation coming), it needs better parents. Very few people will have an impact beyond their generation through work. All parents will though.

The concept here is much like if you have a workplace or social club, they might want to expel bad actors without the same standards you'd use to imprison a person. Once the group is organized or big enough, it becomes a process. It's perfectly reasonable in principle, the question is that of how it gets put into practice.

No. We use that equipment because when shit goes sideways, I want to be able to glance at a monitor and know all your vitals, not have someone take up a critical bedside spot trying to measure things, or to start attaching measurement equipment. I want that spot devoted to someone that can be involved in intubation, giving medication, performing CPR, or attaching a defibrillator.

Yes. People makes mistakes. But this is the same rationality to forbid democracy. And even in its imperfection it is a good system. Let people know and as a society we will learn how to use that information.

So, yes. Some people will want more money. But, the company still can say no to them if the rise they ask for is unreasonable.

There are several advantages for airplanes as first stages. Less air drag on the higher altitude and more efficient engines, as they are optimized for smaller external air pressure. The speed of aircraft adds to the speed of the rocket. Another plus is that with aircraft you don't need to build a launch pad, the rocket is just released in mid-air. Yet another benefit is that aircraft can fly to a more preferable point for the launch - for example, the point where it is convenient to drop the first stage of the rocket, or the point closer to the equator so the satellite won't need to spend as much fuel to change the orbital plane. The airplane first stage can potentially fly to very different launch point, in many different countries, which can make logistics simpler. Those advantages all add up economically.
That's why Rust's FFI story of being the C ABI is wonderful. I've used tons of c libraries but still get to take advantage of Rust's advantages in all the new code I write.
Because fuel and oxidizer flow in a rocket engine is an incredibly difficult affair. When you add 'piping air-intakes' as a into that requirements list, you get an engineering problem that has stumped the people working on engines like the SABRE for decades.

Running a program remotely from a database client is an awful idea. DB client is not a secure remote shell; if you need a shell access, use ssh. Postgres is making a mistake, developers will run postgres as root (because it is the easiest way to solve problem with permissions), they will write apps that connect to postgres server as root and run SQL queries made from user input.

The point is: the only reason people care about quantum algorithms is because they are faster. That's what makes quantum computers interesting.

Of course you can build quantum algorithms that are slower. Maybe there are some obscure cases where this gives deeper insights into understanding quantum computing. But overall they're just not interesting, so they won't end up in such a list.
Interesting to see this paper here, I remember reading (and citing it) in my thesis where I implemented various optimizations in an AoT LLVM compiler for a dynamic language. Largest improvements were had by “inlining” values into the address of a reference; this eased the pressure on the GC tremendously.

Was a lot of fun.

This right here. The only reason people observe tension between semantic versioning and romantic versioning is because prior to semantic versioning we spent decades conflating the version number to convey both "important new feature" and "incompatible changes". Both user marketing and technical compatibility guidance are important, but there's nothing that inherently says that both of these things need to be communicated via a single version number. Pick a nice-sounding word to market your version with big changes, and leave it unrelated to your API version.
Hrm, I dunno. It seems like a pretty good deal for the person whose rent is controlled. I can hardly imagine that they'd (on average) be better off if they were forced to move elsewhere, or forced to pay more. It seems like what you might be observing is a correlated effect. That is, people who are so dependent on rent control must have a certain amount of fragility in their financial situation. Older people in financially tenuous positions are understandably reluctant to venture forth and take risks, both because we become less neuroplastic as we get older in general, and because poverty is not conducive to risk-taking.

Now, whether rent control is good for society as a whole, I think that's a very different question with quite the opposite answer.
>It is currently illegal to build 20 story residential towers in the village...

Even if it weren't illegal, it'd be nearly impossible to make a profit doing it. Land acquisition alone would just sink that kind of a project. Say, 40000 sq ft plates, less luxury but moderate common, less mechanical, less safety. You're talking what, maybe 25 or 30 thousand sq ft? And you have to divide that up into profitable spaces with only 20 or 30 floors worth of them to pay off your investment. (And those numbers are all wildly optimistic.)

I don't know man? Maybe it can be done? But I'm just not so sure.

Well, maybe I should walk that statement back a bit? I'm positive it can be done, but I'm not sure anyone other than more rich people would be able to afford the prices required to support the development. Only thing that law really does is keep more rich people from being able to find spaces in the Village.

Had me curious if you could put the NYC rent-controlled apartment rate in a will. Apparently not. But, you can pass control to a family member if they live with you for 2 years. So, technically, it could go on forever.

> "It's not a hotel, and it's not vacation!"

A surprising number of nurses take patients' conditions personally. I can't say I've never been irritated by a patient asking me to do something trivial and "below my station" (e.g., that time I was rounding and a patient high-handedly told me to get him oreos from his closet), but... I consider that irritation something to be worked at and put away, not a valid feeling towards my patients. But yes, being sick makes people feel helpless, and being cared for - sometimes in an infantilizing ways - makes a lot of people feel significantly reassured. I don't have a drug in my armamentarium as effective at relieving hospitalization anxiety as a loved one showering you with attention. And the loved ones generally feel better for it as well, because they're otherwise helpless to help.

So, yeah, I fetch oreos. And don't have much love for the nurse that thinks it's beneath her to do the same.
There is ssh which is secure and encrypted. There is no need to invent new unencrypted and insecure remote shell protocol thus increasing attack surface without getting any noticeable benefits.

Absolutely agreed.

When evaluating a major lifestyle change for financial benefit with a job shift, I asked a coworker who'd been doing the job awhile. He gave me the best advice I've ever received when moving into a high-stress / high-paying job.

"It's good money. But make sure you set up your finances so that when you decide to stop, you can. Even when they say 'What if we paid you twice as much to keep doing the job?' Otherwise, you'll still be doing the job when you're 60."

The corollary is probably: don't take a job you don't want to do, unless the pay's good enough that you can reach the above point in a reasonable amount of time.

I listened, and it gave me the opportunity to quit a well paying consulting job to be with my mother while she was going through cancer surgery. (Thankfully, it and her recovery went well)

And ultimately, led me to finding a job that was a much happier fit.

Who cares about where artists (in particular) live? Are they somehow more entitled to particular areas compared to people in other occupations?

In fact, if we're talking about the kind of artist who works from home and does not need to commute, one would think that it's less important where they live (compared to people who actually need to get to their workplace every day).
Decoupling feature releases from API changes is the best option. Your API follows strict semver, but your new features can use whatever versioning scheme you want, this date-based scheme is fine.

So the new version is 19.1 [API 2.2].

Most of this thread is debating the relative value of using a single number to communicate feature additions vs breaking changes, but these two things are (mostly) orthogonal. So use two numbers. This even allows releases where there are awesome new features but no API changes at all!
Others have reported just the opposite -- it helps them develop the confidence to speak without it.

Consider that risk aversion is not a bad trait — google “three fund portfolio” and the theory behind it. Stock speculation is time consuming and akin to betting. Know when to appreciate your aversion to risk.

Another way of phrasing self-confidence is “self-validating.” Social confidence is essentially not looking to others for validation. It starts with rewiring how you perceive the world (see: CBT). Isn’t it odd that you construct stories of your failure that link back to your physical attributes? What if you told different stories? This one is hard to grok until you start to realize how much your brain filters out information to fit your core beliefs about yourself. I didn’t believe this until I realized that my negative self stories kept popping up while talking to people with strabismus (eye misalignment). I was literally looking them in the damn wrong eye, and telling myself how disengaged they were and how uninteresting I was because they “weren’t looking at me.” Most of what we perceive is what we already believe. It is unnerving, but valuable to know.

You mention the word “feeling” a few times. Is this in reference to anxiety? We’re all templated to feel social anxiety, but some more than others — especially those running negative self-talk reels in their head. Try to first start seeing that anxiety when it happens, even if you can’t halt it. Foster the skill of emotional self-observation.

Just trying to offer some new starting points. No easy answers here. Try loving-kindness meditation for a start — you’re going to have to come to love and respect your 5’5 balding self in the end.
C++ makes it really easy to corrupt the heap or stack which depending on tooling can take days or weeks to track down. I don't mind trading a bit of flexibility with and optional escape hatch (unsafe).

I'm really skeptical of backporting Rust's wins to C++. The concept of mutability cuts across the language and I don't see how you do it without bifrucating an already complicated language.
> The government provides no bodyguards. The police investigates only after the crime. Anonymity is the most important defense. Don't take it away.

Does people that make more money keep it private thou? I see what cars people have, what neighborhood they live in, what clothes they wear, ... The tax returns mainly show how fare people is taxed and gives you information on how are your skills valued in the system.

Your arguments can also be used to not show public prices for cars, houses, clothes... but, we do it. It is just salaries that are hidden. But my manager knows my salary. And big corporations know the salary of hundred of thousands of employees. So, it is hidden only of part of the population.

This seems an appeal to fear without much justification.

> 2. People jump in front of your car, knowing you can pay when sued.

People drives Ferraris. I do not need to know your economic situation to know that your Ferrari has a good insurance. Is people constantly jumping in front of Ferraries?

> 3. People break into your house, knowing you have things worth stealing.

Thieves know which neighborhoods are richer than the others.

> 4. People hack into your private photos, knowing you can pay blackmail.

This has been done to rich and poor alike.

> The government provides no bodyguards. The police investigates only after the crime. Anonymity is the most important defense. Don't take it away.

I cannot understand how a comment with false information is the top comment. Of course police investigates suspicious activities even before there is a crime. What are you talking about?

I think that your fear is real. But it is not justified. The goal of letting others see the salaries is to get a more efficient job market. I can know if my salary is 30% below the average, or if I should change industry. It is a very useful information for the general population.

Personally, I believe so, yes. When you have two competing powers, neither can abuse their power as much. Ideally, it wouldn't be just two, but two are better than one. If the EU could emancipate itself from the US, that would be a very welcome addition, but I don't see that happening anytime soon because the EU is made up of many interests and has no single government (and I'd love to have less EU, but for other reasons) so it's not able to compete at the same level.

When the soviets were still a credible threat, the West needed to give their lower classes a piece of the pie because of the sweet promises the soviets spoke of (it doesn't matter whether they ever fulfilled them). Now that that's gone, they don't, and my country hasn't seen net wage increases for workers for multiple decades despite huge increases in productivity. We have seen a drop on corporate taxes and more tax evasion for the ultra rich, though.
As an anecdote:

We attended a renaissance/medieval dance event. This event would bring 150-200 people together. In years past, it was understood that you treated people with respect.

Turns out last year, a teacher was grabbing a transgender female dancer and forced them to the man's position for the dance, along with chastising them for dancing on the woman's side. The teacher was warned that this was completely unacceptable. (Be aware, that this is a private event, and she could be ejected for, you know, battery of forcefully moving student.)Ok. Fast forward to this year....

All the past teachers are invited to propose a class to teach. My wife usually teaches the beginner dances. During that, the event steward, then says to sign this paper that was a code of conduct in the form of a loyalty oath. She refused to sign it immediately and opened dialog as to why this is being put to teachers - it felt like it was a "you have been horrible in the past and this tries to fix it". It had the shame and insulting tone that we familiarly see with CoC's.

In the end, my wife chose not to sign, and chose not to teach the beginner's class. And when we showed up at the event, we saw some striking things. We had ~95 people attend the event, as opposed to 150-200. We had at 12 classes (normal is 4 tracks from 10-4, minus lunch, for 20 classes normally). Now, obviously correlation != causation... But the only factor that was significantly changed was demanding a CoC signed as a loyalty oath.

> I honestly feel like hospitals (and other similar facilities) need to be designed to encourage this.

I agree. But hospitals are also ridiculously expensive on a per-sq-foot basis. Outside of very high-end hospitals that can try to make some of that money back from cash patients and very well insured patients, most hospitals simply don't carry the funds for that, even if they wanted to.

Discussions about healthcare are always rich in "hospitals need" or "hospitals should," and people never stop and ask "why don't they?"

The answer is usually "because we don't pay for it." Most of our healthcare dollars don't end up in the hands of hospitals or doctors, though a good chunk go through the hospitals. Most dollars ultimately end up with insurers, device manufacturers, or pharmaceutical companies. What money does go to the hospitals, doesn't go towards the things people say they want.

Unsurprisingly, as with every entrepreneurial discussion on HN, there's a difference between what customers say they want and what they're willing to pay for.

Realistically, in general, no. In at least one specific hypothetical case relevant to this discussion, yes: if I were convinced that there was a cellphone provider that was forwarding my data to China but not the US, I'd pick them over the US provider. I don't think that's what's going with Huawei phones (the US still gets that data), and I don't think it's a reasonably likely scenario, but I would make that trade-off in lieu of better options.
