In other fields of engineering no one would ever think of calling themselves engineer after a 6 months bootcamp training.

Sadly on several countries this is a thing, which also contributes to a low level of expectation, regarding the quality of delivered work.

My Informatics Engineering degree certainly did include historical perspective of previous languages, operating systems and hardware architectures.

But like some of the other comments have mentioned, it's not a general purpose tool... it's more like he open-sourced his dot files.

You can certainly make a few things work, but it would be nice to see a community of interested individuals come together to flesh out the abstractions, make sure everything is documented and works as advertised. As it is now, the class hierarchy is a little... misshapen. It's not clear what classes are responsible for what functionality, and how everything fits together in a nice, orthogonal way.
I guess there is also a (D), which would be, to make it so that most people regardless of height could do that job. There could be a simple or cheap way to enable shorter people to perform as well. In that case, you could greatly expand your available workforce. If there isn't an easy way to do that then you can fallback to (C).
Lobbying congress to pass laws so the IRS can't offer free filing is a very dark pattern indeed.
"U.S. households with any kind of debt — mortgage, credit cards, student loans, auto loans, etc. — owe an average $135,768"

So, if we exclude everyone who has no debt, and include mortgage debt as 'debt', Gen X has a scary-sounding level of debt! Whodathunkit?

I started a new job last year, and it's pretty scary to login and look at my 401k, where it says: "People My Age: Average Savings Rate: 6%. Account Balance: $29,428". Now, presumably, some/many of their account holders ALSO have other retirement accounts, but I imagine the average age of these accounts is probably more than the 1 year I have into it.

Or, go get $55 Million in VC funding from someone else.

You have a major head start. Your company is theoretically worth at least as much as theirs.

Complaining about competitors copying you might slow them down a bit. But it will probably slow you down a lot more. On the other hand, using their valuation to raise $55M+ would be a huge boost for you.
Even for people operating exclusively on wages/salary, it's amazing how fast things can snowball.

Did you work remotely for an out-of-state employer? Now you get to worry about the interplay of taxes in multiple states. Did you change health insurers mid-year? Now you're working out how to prove you were ACA-compliant at all times. Did you have some obscure deduction like rent payment deductions from state taxes? Several people I know lost hundreds of dollars this year by simply not knowing that deduction existed.

Obviously, filing with a paid service instead of simply getting a bill in the mail has a cost. But working out what one owes under the current system also has a pretty significant cost, both in hours spent and potentially in dollars.
Hard to say. We keep hearing that millennials can't afford to buy a house or have kids; OTOH savings rates went way up after the 2008 recession and have continued to fare surprisingly well.

Topics are algorithmically learned from The New York Times article archive using state of the art natural language processing, and all of the reader segments are targetable with media on NYTimes.com.

It's a Series A, serious DD doesn't usually happen this early and a jr. analyst with a finance background wouldn't catch something like this.
I’m wondering how these two statements comport:

> Just over half (53%) of Gen Xers report having three months worth of salary socked away — money that could be used as an emergency fund.
What’s more, 48% of Gen Xers said they’re living paycheck to paycheck

Since 48 + 53 > 100, either there is a rounding error or there are people who have 3 months’ savings who are also living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t see how it’s possible to be living paycheck to paycheck and have significant savings, unless this implies a sudden and relatively recent change in circumstances. It would be interesting to see if there is more detail on this in the linked MetLife study (which I haven’t got time to read right now, unfortunately).
pg_bot covered the technical side, I'll take the social side.

That's the great thing. There might be an entire market of options out there for an idea, but if they don't get something like reliability right, then that's the easiest foot in the door.
Similarly, it's often easy to miss some deductions altogether. Not only is the paperwork often confusing, but deductions are an unknown-unknowns situation where you might never even see the relevant form. Several people I know ran into that this year and overpayed by enough to wipe out 5-10 years of TurboTax fees, which really calls into doubt the cost-benefit of doing them by hand.

And as you said - those people were formula-happy programmers with simple W-2 income from one job. It's the absolute lowest level of complexity available, and it's still easy to get wrong.

Do you have any evidence to support this? It could be true, but any cash business owner (low income or not) is likely to cheat precisely because it's not feasible for the IRS to prove exactly how much cash income you made.

You're right; however, people (NYT subscribers and the general public) have the right to press the advertising department regarding the information and viewpoint presented by the newsroom.

If the advertising department is the entity responsible for the private-browsing situation, when a reader says "The New York Times" in this context, it should be read as "The New York Times' advertising department".

Ideally, the public editor (which the NYT no longer has) would do so, prompted by readers.
The proposals I've seen for having the IRS prefill returns are that they'd just do the equivalent of the 1040EZ for you. If you want something more comprehensive than that, then you'd still have to do your own taxes.

I think that's a very reasonable approach.
The problem with making statements on tangential points on a charged topic is that everyone will reinterpret it to apply specifically towards points it wasn't intended to. :/

I wasn't using "simply" to say that explains all objections, I was saying of the objections we should be wary of ones that might be because of confirmation bias, and how that can sometimes lead to apparent lack of consensus where there is one.

That is, if you take the calls for additional scrutiny and filter them to account for confirmation bias, we should consider that outcome as well as how thorough the study was when deciding how much additional confirming reports are required to start considering the results worth mentioning. Surely, if it goes against the common knowledge of a large percentage of the population, that's reason enough to follow up in detail, but we should not shy away from the truth because it is inconvenient, whatever it may be. At to be perfectly clear, this isn't some veiled statement about topics here, it's a general statement about the utility of science and how we can use it effectively to better ourselves.

Cloverly – An API for Carbon Offsets
Well, "we" don't have authority to decide those things, do we?

It looks like API copying violates copyrights on the US, so go for it. In a democracy crazy laws can't be crazy just for the bad.
That's completely false
Damn that was a sneaky way to get baby shark stuck in my head.
So... Fiverr or Upwork?
Today we launched a new startup (earth day!) called Cloverly, an API for carbon offsets. Our team has been working on this project for over a year. It was born out of our frustration around ecommerce shipments. We're all buying more and more online, and those deliveries come with a heavy carbon footprint.

People have been purchasing offsets for cars and homes for a while, but they haven’t been easily accessible to the digital economy. Offsets can also lack transparency, which is something we're trying to improve.

Right now we've built out a few endpoints that you can use to create offsets. If you ping /shipping and send us shipping information, we can calculate the carbon impact and purchase a corresponding offset from a wind or solar facility. Or ping our /vehicle endpoint with miles driven and information about your vehicle, and we'll do the offset. Or just tell us how many pounds of carbon you want to offset at /carbon. More info in the docs!

All of our offsets are done using wind or solar renewable energy certificates. They're a mainstream mechanism for offsets. Best of all, the API returns the exact renewable energy being purchased. That lets us localize. If you want to offset a 50-mile drive through Dallas, we'll offset it with, for example, a purchase of Texas wind energy. We'll have many new renewable energy sources coming online over the coming months, and always aim to match impact to energy as closely as possible.

We’re really proud of this project, and excited to launch on Earth Day!

> it's hard to extend

This is actually a feature, considering what Svelte does. I know of more than a few efforts to implement similar compile-time production of low level procedural code from React components, but so far nobody's been quite able to do it. And this is despite these efforts coming from some very smart people. The reason this is so hard to do for React is precisely because Javascript is a huge target with a ton of bizarre quirks and edge cases.

> To be clear by similar API I mean just pure JSX components, where you plugin reactive data,

I think Solid.js is the closest thing to this atm. Not React-based though.
So many social science papers rely on MTurk which is concerning given the poor compensation. With such low payment structures, MTurk is incentivizing people to rush through responses and give responses that they anticipate the researchers want to see.
"Your company is theoretically worth at least as much as theirs."

Maybe.

Having worked in the auto industry (albeit well over a decade ago), it is one of those industries where connections, and knowing how to navigate the relationships, goes a long way. I don't know much about either of these companies, or their founders, but in B2B scenarios like this, the value is often related to much more than just the underlying technology.

If I were Smartcar, I would look closely at relationships, physical and virtual proximity to major automotive players, and how their suppliers prefer to do business. And, perhaps they already have...
> Lower income people with cash business are far more likely to cheat than wealthy people.

The statistics I've seen indicate the opposite. But I suppose it depends on how you measure. Perhaps on a per-incident basis, you may be correct. But I don't think you're correct if you measure by the amount of money.
Interesting.

> Almost half of Gen X respondents, defined as ages 38 to 53, said they have no money saved in a retirement account.

> Curiously, the Gen Xers were the least likely generation to say they would save or invest an extra $1,000, instead using it to pay outstanding bills and debt.

How is this “curiously”? The fact that GenX has high debt balances is why their marginal income is more likely to go to paying (high-interest) debt rather than going into (low-yield) retirement savings, which is also why they don't have retirement savings since their money has instead been going to debt repayment.
It's hard to compete when you're not competitive.

Amazon still runs AWS in China with a Chinese partner. This is just Amazon.cn being unable to compete with local alternatives like Taobao.

What you're saying isn't wrong but I don't think it's particularly relevant to this situation.
The only comparison made in the article between Gen X and other generations was the subjective statement of being spoiled by their parents. If this article meant to be useful, it would compare other statements, like how many of the previous generation had funded retirement accounts at this age. Instead, it's doom and gloom scare tactics but I feel it lacks substantial information to provide value.
Honestly, "useless and entitled" kind of hurt my feelings. The title says it's 3Blue1Brown's "animation engine." I'm just relaying my experience with the thing to let people know that working with it won't be all sunshine and roses, if they want to use it, and that it might be nice to put some effort into it if we really want it to be a community tool.

I think we have similar opinions about what the tool is, and what it's not. I just must have not expressed myself in a very clear way. I did spend about two days hacking on this, just to get a basic POC working. But in the end, I couldn't figure out how to put right angle markers on my vectors. I also submitted an issue about vectors getting smaller when the norm was less than 1.

I'm just saying, the title makes it seem like it's a general purpose tool, but it's not.
Are you claiming that the emotional, political and philosophical interactions of humans can not be evaluated scientifically?

If the scientific process does not apply to Gender Studies, that's fine I suppose, it can be considered part of the arts. However, it would be an error to then consider forming policy based on it - similar to forming policy based on music or painting.

In order for us to make policy decisions or recommendations, there needs to be academic rigor, otherwise we may as well be a theocracy.

I know you didn't directly bring up anything about forming policy, so those points aren't necessarily directed at you. I bring them up because I see a lot of material from the field of Gender Studies being used to form policy, law and social expectations.

That's bad for sure.

However, most "Oauth2 flow" documentation pages look like that. They all have a table that's basically copied out of the Oauth2 spec. They all have very similar language.

This is a good thing. Oauth2 is a well defined spec, and there just isn't a lot of ambiguity there.

If it weren't for the copied random state, I'd shrug this off.
In other areas human hunting is what's holding the deer population density down. Hunting has become a lot less popular since the 1950s and 1960s and the available places to do it has also dwindled so once CWD gets in it rapidly expands among the local population.

In that case, legislation which seems primarily crafted to annoy and alienate gun owners might have the unexpected consequence of increasing the spread of CWD.

Probably a combination of a few things: 1) Western audience of HN that have only witnessed the dominance of Amazon so have a hard time imagining a better competitor. 2) Ongoing negativity towards china in this area. Put the two together, and China must be cheating for Amazon to not win.

I think most people underestimate how difficult it is to compete on local turf (even without political handicaps). In fact it may very well be that Alibaba and JD are in fact the better services and would be dominating in the west if not for the same home turf advantage.
