The comments section on this article makes me sad to be a part of the HN community.

Show some empathy for a man who lost the best thing he ever had. He isn't asking for the world, actually in the article he didn't ask for anything. He was content to make $25 an hour forever and spend it on his family's health and happiness. That's a reasonable thing to want from life in America. Nit picking the particulars of his case isn't useful.

If you say "just move" or "get a new job" or "shoulda seen it coming" consider what you'd feel like if you lost your job of 2+ decades and that job had not helped you develop other marketable skills.

Not every person can have a high-skilled and transferable job like a software engineer.

The title (as in, the text between <title></title>) on the page served to me was:

To what extent is there such a thing as a "right not to be recognized"? If there is such a right, can it not be exercised--against machine as well as man--simply by wearing a mask?
it's a joke people.
I'm pretty sure the parent post's point isn't that raising kids or building a house is a bad thing. The bad thing is the presumption that this one job must last forever, and the eager engagement with politics that can't actually preserve that job based on soundbites from a man who contradicts himself every five minutes.

The evidence we have, of medical fields where market forces are more dominant, compared to medical fields where market forces are less prominent, suggests market forces reduce prices in medicine.

In the US, the increase in healthcare costs is directly the inverse of the percentage of the population covered by insurance. Insurance removes the market force of consumer price consciousness and bargain-hunting. Government regulations encourage the provision of healthcare through insurance. The increase in insurance coverage is an artificial outcome of government intervention.

>>Many countries make regulated healthcare markets work. Many countries make non-market healthcare work

No, they don't. The healthcare systems of all developed countries I've seen have severe problems. Case in point, Canada:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/doctor-shortage-cancer-video-...

The problems with the US healthcare system originate in regulations. There was a 3,200 percent increase in the number of healthcare administrators between 1975 and 2010, compared to a 150 percent increase in physicians, due to an increasing number of regulations:

Am I missing something or have Yodlee and Intuit account aggregation have provided this service now for more than a decade?
That's indentured labour. It's in a lot of sci fi. It's also what serfs do.
Same happens here. I believe it's a sort of Hail Mary for them - they perhaps lack the toughness requires for working in trades, lack the brains for being a doctor/engineer, so they enroll in an easy degree that still gives them non-zero chance of getting a job that's better that McDonalds.
I've never taken an Uber, but that's probably how I also would rate a good, but not exceptional, ride. Just like how I rate movies. So yeah, a star rating for this seems like a bad idea.
Totally agree. Mars seems a miserable place. I would prefer we sent probes to Europa, Enceladus and upper atmosphere of Venus first to see what’s going on there.
> I'm saying the shift from government-paid higher ed to student-loan-paid higher ed was promoted as a more market-oriented approach.

That was never the theory. The theory was that we decided we needed everyone to go to college. We realized that not everyone cold afford to go to college. Giving students loans is cheaper than paying tuition directly, because you'll get most of the money back, so the government flooded the market with no-credit-check student loans. Nobody involved was ever trying to create a functioning market, even an artificial market.

100% agree. Uber drivers should be able to tag a passenger as "do not accept requests from". Maybe they can; I'm not sure if the driver app has that functionality. But if they truly are contractors, they should be able to pick & choose their clients, so to speak.
I think in general society would be hurt by the loss to the arts, literature, pure mathematics, and other degrees that don't have high paying jobs.
> I'm getting the impression you were raised in a rather cushy life. I did not grow up in a rural area such as this...

IMO talking like this just gets into the distracting consideration of whether someone has suffered enough to talk about suffering.
I don’t understand this attack: if attacker can control CSS on the page - then they probably can also control javascript. Which means they can extract any data from it.
I would think understanding declarative code like React is much easier for beginners than procedural code like loops and switches. For example, tons of analysts and other business people can pick up SQL for reporting, but would have a lot of trouble writing code.
Read the sheltering charges. They are probably cherry-picked, but even so, they are ridiculous and never should have merited arrests. These are good people being harassed for not looking the other way while human beings needlessly die in the desert.

These immigrants are breaking your laws and it's understandable if they aren't accepted, but waiting for them to die crosses the line into evil. Sometimes the moral alternative is illegal, but that doesn't make it wrong.
Helping to educate young people about their options and inoculate them against mainstream marketing (overt and covert), would help give people other routes than taking on massive debt. That in itself is a massive business transaction so it's probably best for people to understand how the labor market works before committing so much time and money to a decision they may later regret.
Why is this concerning? The public school system has a lot of issues. My son went to public school until 6th grade and I about pulled my hair out with issue after issue. We put him in a hybrid charter school program (3 days homeschool, 2 days in class) for 7th and 8th and started my youngest in this same program from kindergarten. Both are well ahead academically of their peers and grade level.

There are a ton of homeschool groups in our area too that organize activities where all of the kids get together. It is very active giving kids plenty of opportunity to socialize.

We don't homeschool for religious reasons. We do it because we want our kids to get the best possible education without all of the indoctrination and other crap that is pushed through the public education system. This is pretty much the reason most of the other homeschoolers that I engage with do it too. I think homeschooling has a bad rap because of the media and a few bad apples but at least from my experience, that portrayal is not the norm.
Does the webRequest API deprecation also impact Chromium, and therefore Brave as well? Brave seems like it's willing to backfill in changes to Chromium, but I'm wondering how this impacts the browser overall.

I use Brave as my daily driver (with Shields Up and uBlock Origin), but I'm not sure what the actual impact will be when it comes.

it seems like it used to be much easier to get Google to return exact matches. Just my subjective experience of course, but as accuracy for word-sense-disambiguation significantly improved it seems like Google has become much more comfortable returning what it believes are close or related matches. Overall it's probably better search, but I find myself having to put things in quotes more than I used to when looking for a very precise result.
I'd argue this is a consequence of a lack of competition. Since there's no where else for you to go, what incentive do they have to fix search? Devs may complain a bit, but Apple still controls enough of the phone market that people are going to continue to make apps out of necessity and Apple will still get paid. As long as people can still find the "big" apps (uber, netflix, tinder, spotify, etc.), there won't be a meaningful outcry from users. It's not like someone is going to switch OS's over this.
> I always took Lord of the Flies as an allegory to adult society rather than a book about children.

It certainly is, the book even beats you over the head with it when (spoiler warning I guess?) the warship shows up to rescue them at the end.

I do think the K-12 school doesn't particularly resemble adult life, and is a lot worse in most ways. For one thing, leaving bad situations isn't really an option, while at the same time anti-social behavior is more tolerated. Meanwhile you're doing a bunch of work on things that are quickly round-filed when you're done with them, year after year, and operating under a system that's strangely strict and dehumanizing considering how much shittiness it allows to go on. And I had a pretty good school experience, so this isn't coming from some place of special bitterness.
WTF Is Terraform

What I've always found interesting about Uber is that if you have one bad night in San Francisco, it could adversely affect your ability to get a ride in Bahrain several years later.

Sure big companies create efficiencies, but they also create Orwellian situations like one above.
Thanks for posting the link, I haven't seen it before. It says pretty much the same thing:

"Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT."
Tailgating is a problem when you must keep a log of employee entries (and possibly exits).

If you’re just trying to ensure only employees are on-site, tailgating is less of an issue (unless somebody got fired but their colleagues were never told).
A wave of graduate programs drop the GRE application requirement
Do you have an actual point you are trying to articulate, or is it just trolling?

• Spotify pays 15% after a year, not 30% forever.

• 15% isn't unreasonable at all. Many industries, from physical goods to digital subscriptions, work on a similar fee schedule.

• For example, you pay 15% forever for selling physical books, no matter how few chargebacks you get.

• The rates for digital goods are often higher. For example, Amazon takes 30-65% for Kindle sales.

• Spotify can use Stripe if they want (and they do), at the lower rate.

First you thought the rate was higher than it was. Then you thought that rate was unreasonable when compared to physical goods and it wasn't. What are you actually trying to say? 15% is too much… because it's possible to get that service somewhere cheaper, which they do, and that's how most customers pay?
I was trying to remember why his name sounded familiar. 12 years ago, when I was an 18 year old with mediocre math grades trying to figure out what to do with my life, I went to a guest lecture he was doing down the street at Dalhousie University. It was the first time I remember being excited about math, which became my major.
It would mean only pushing updates to some users and not others, which would have to be supported by the App Store. Unless you jerry-rigged some way of separating your "updates" from the actual binary updates distributed by the app store, which, yes, would probably be more work than it's worth.
If I’m curious I’ll open the link off the company network. Easiest way I can think of is just opening with a browser on my private iPhone while on a 4G connection.
Some rules are better than none at all. Just because there are edge cases doesn’t mean the rules won’t work for 99% of cases. Same thing goes for “certified” sustainable forestry or fishing. Could some people cheat? Sure. But that doesn’t mean that having processes in place and rules to follow won’t work.
> Law enforcement is general is not good at self-accountability. That accountability has to be rigorously enforced from the outside.

Absolutely. One major positive outcome of the OJ Simpson trial was how Simpson's attorneys completely trashed the police handling of forensic evidence on a national stage, forcing law enforcement across the country to raise their game.
Ask HN: AWS refuses to stop billing me for a compromised account
Around about a year ago, I had my AWS account get fully taken over by a successful social-engineering attack. Prior to a full-take over, the screw-ups by their customer-support were bad enough that in response to a viral blog post ( https://medium.com/@espringe/amazon-s-customer-service-backdoor-be375b3428c4 ) they upgraded me to "executive support" for free.

Regardless, it was all for nothing when they gave my account to someone else. Besides compromising sensitive information, the attacker was able to change the account information and email address to the point I am unable to authenticate.

At this point, I do not care about recovering my account, as I have fully switched to Google cloud and have been extremely impressed by Google's Advanced Protection Program. However, my credit card keeps getting billed by Amazon. When ever I phone Amazon, I can't get through to a reasonable human being as despite having the credit-card in my hands, I can not authenticate against the account with changed details. Nor will Amazon simply remove the credit card number that I can provide them.

I've even requested a new credit card from the bank, however the bank continues to forward AWS charges to me. So I have been going through a kafkaesque ritual of disputing the Amazon charge with my bank only to win and have Amazon bill me for the next month.

However the last dispute I've made, the bank (of America) has now ruled in Amazon's favor and rebilled my account. My bank has replied: "We've thoroughly reviewed the details of your dispute(s), and based on the information we received, we're unable to pursue your dispute(s) future."

At this point, I'm stonewalled between my Bank siding with Amazon, and Amazon not speaking to me. I feel like I'm out of options. What are my options now?

If any human at Amazon sees this, my account number is: 326156978341 and dispute case number is: 92919033. Please for the love of God, stop billing me.
For Uber the drivers are also their customers. So, agree that protecting the drivers from hostile/bad riders is important also. Uber is just like a marketplace in many ways.
The city of Toronto would like to hear from you. Our Subway turnstiles keep breaking.

And since they’re entry and exit, there’s many methods to enter by triggering the exit side, from umbrellas to a small dog.
You simply shouldn't believe the talk about automation. Most people don't even know what they are talking about. What do people think Chinese workers do? Mr. Marsh is right, it is about trade. If you can make something where workers are paid peanuts and have little, throughout the entire supply chain, without any penalties why wouldn't you? (except the obvious moral implications and long term effects).

What people really don't get is that hyper-automation, when you barely need workers at all, isn't going to come from the West. As we soon don't have anything to automate anymore. Most people here, including most engineers, are in the service sector.
I think the advantage of type systems isn't something trivial like ensuring a function receives an integer instead of a string. It's that (in powerful type systems) you can encode your own domain constructs into types, which reduces cognitive overhead.
What's an example of a standard Firefox supports that Safari/webkit doesn't?

I work with cross-platform client-side JS libraries, though admittedly sticking to pretty vanilla/backwards compatible functionality, and the main thing I've seen that's wonky with Safari is the postMessage API. A few years ago, Firefox finally added the innerText API that many others had already adopted.

What other examples are there (this isn't a challenge, I am sure there are issues, just curious for my own knowledge!)
>You provided anecdata, so I used anecdata.

Homeschooling is exclusively American because American schools are almost completely shit like most government provided services here and saying because German schools are good, American kids shouldn't homeschool is ignoring all the data that says US public schools are in trouble, on a steep decline and home schooling has for many, become their only viable alternative. Look at the colleges complaining about kids coming in who can't do basic problem solving or critical thinking. Anyway, I've linked this stuff so many times.

If a school in someone's area is crap and not addressing their child's needs a parent ABSOLUTELY should have the RIGHT to pull their kid out and seek a better alternative. Saying home schools are bad because public schools should be good and use data that has nothing to do with test scores, performance later in life. The social thing has been debunked multiple times. Sending a kid to school to learn to socialize has the Lord of the Flies effect, learning to socialize in a school, not from adults. Home schoolers are typically seen as more mature than their peers.

https://reason.com/2019/01/22/homeschooling-produces-better-...

You're defending a dumpster fire with doctored data when their are news articles every day about how much trouble public schools and outdated the education system is, and using anecdotal out liars to prove home schooling is terrible. For every home schooler you show that had issues, I can show you an article about a kid who committed suicide because of bullying, who had a learning disability that can't be addressed in large classroom settings, who experience severe social anxiety because of the social hierarchy high school taught them about.
Enough people like that along with enough underemployed young people saddled with crushing debt, and you have everything you need for a revolution.

People can talk about what others can or should have done, but eventually it’s going to be better and easier for them to burn this system down than try to work within it. Trump was a warning shot. What comes next after he fails to accomplish anything is going to be worse.
No, what he is describing should directly lead to people carefully considering what they share online. I remember 15 years ago everybody knew that, now it's "oh, I get internet points for sharing every bar/restaurant/venue I go to?! let's do that!" (this was in reference to foursquare, apparently they are not a thing anymore?)

Not posting your porn online because you're afraid someone will find out surely isn't a dystopian future.

Yeah, I can't imagine most if any developer believing, "You don’t need to monitor search queries, results, and clicks"

This is less what programmers believe, and more a "Things to keep in mind" sort of list. But I suppose the less accurate title is a bit more click-baity.
Agreed. If Elixir had static typing then Phoenix would be my dream framework!
Phishing is frankly an embarrassment for the mainstream security community. The temptation is to "blame the stupid users" -- but the truth is that even a script kiddie can take a real email from a mainstream brand, "Save As HTML...", change one link, and resend... and snare even sophisticated victims. This BlackHat talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z20XNp-luNA) shows just how easy it is to phish even users who think they are too good to be fooled.

At Inky (https://inky.com) we're using a combination of computer vision, anomaly detection, and domain-specific hacks to identify zero-day phishing emails "from first principles" (as I like to say). And it works! But the pushback from the security establishment is impressive. I like to say that there are two widely-held but false beliefs about phishing: 1) phishing is solved; 2) phishing is unsolvable.

The truth is that we can already see clearly that within 3-5 years machines will be good enough at identifying phishing emails that attackers will move to another vector... but you'd never know it listening to "Security Thought Leaders."

Yikes, dude. I'm sorry, but Elon Musk is just a guy with money. He's not a demigod. He's not a genius. He's not even a captain of industry. He's just a rich guy playing with money and and building a personal brand.

I'm not saying that he doesn't have ideas, and that some of those ideas aren't the totally self-serving delusions of a rich dickhead, but a good many of them are, and I certainly don't want any part of "the path toward the Big Vision" of some rich dickhead. Seriously, buddy. Listen to yourself. You just described "the path toward the Big Vision" of some unelected billionaire as if it were some form of spiritual revelation or ideological telos.
