I has been discussed several times, including over a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16710838

I remember one thread which I can't find, which considered whether Hacker News counted as a site that should be disclosed. I also seem to remember a claim that having an account on a site with "Hacker" in the title was an automatic disqualification.

Hmm, this is the one I was thinking of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17635403

It is worth noting that there is almost literally no mention of potential health impacts; almost all the outcomes listed in the answer are regulatory.

On the one hand, that might be good regulation - we don't want workers getting harmed. On the other hand, it serves as ongoing evidence that getting worried because a situation exceeds regulatory standards is foolish.

Given how little attention he gives it the "marginally higher theoretical likelihood of later detriment such as cancer" turns out to be something trivial like less damage than done by drinking sugar water or not exercising.
That's commitment. Keep fighting the good fight.
The problem with cars is that they are great for individuals, but terrible for society.

For individuals, they greatly increase your mobility and open new possibilities.

For societies, they are loud, dirty, dangerous, and require expensive roads which take up large swaths of land.

It is this dichotomy that prevents us as humans from properly understanding the cost of the vehicles we drive. I see all over this thread people calculating the cost of their vehicle in dollars, but this grossly underestimates the cost to society as a whole.

In regards to the article, how much visibility do western analysts have into the Chinese automotive market? If domestic sales aren’t accurately monitored, this would explain why the Chinese market has dropped.
They get a bunch of the science wrong, but some of it right in that typical popsci way.

For instance, it is possible to isolate the DNA sequence that codes for the functional and variable domains of the antibody.
But, it’s not possible to just take that and ‘grow it in bacteria’ as they say.

The construction of an antibody is very complex, with lots of cross-coupling and special confirmations that need to be induced by helper proteins in order to reach the final shape.

A bacterial cell doesn’t have the requisite ‘machinery’ to use a factory analogy, to do this.

When we make humanised antibodies for immunotherapy for cancer treatments we fuze a B/Plasma cell with a cancer cell to make it immortal, and then hope that the cell will churn out copies of itself and the antibody forever.
That’s one of the reasons pharma companies can charge $50,000 per dose... its time consuming, it’s fragile... and also, once they’ve done it, no-one else can come along and build the same thing (as you might be able to do by knocking off some chemical steps to make a drug)
Execution is about how you solve the problem. Just because it’s solved well doesn’t mean the market is ready to receive it.
Or you wait for Google or you are frantically trying to move everything you got to AWS.

Ask HN: How Do You Do IE, Edge, and Safari Tests for CI?
Currently, I have dockerized Chrome and Firefox tests. Run locally, run in CI...easy.

But now I'm looking at the default browsers of the most popular desktop OS's. And it looks bleak.

How do people run IE, Edge, and Safari tests? As far as I can determine it's absolutely impossible to even run Safari in AWS (the current location of my CI infrastructure). There's other services but I hesitate because they look rather expensive when I compare them to my current setup.

Any suggestions? Third-party services, open source tools...whatever. It seems crazy it's so hard to test in web dev 2019.

I totally believe that many people no longer are enamored of owning a car. I do not believe Uber/Lyft/etc. will be the cause of "peak car". For one thing, given their cash burn rate, I don't believe that Uber/Lyft/etc. will be around in 5 years, at least in their current form. They will either merge with a conventional cab company, fold entirely, or massively downsize.
No, the poster is seriously over estimating the effectiveness of genetics testing.

Hi dang, thanks for all the work you do around here moderating. The article georgemonck linked goes into a lot of details of the case others here ignored, and yet he was banned while peisistratos is using racial slurs and mockingly refusing to discuss a single thing georgemonck's article gets wrong. It seems like peisistratos is not interested in engaging in meaningful conversation.

Thanks.

> Tomorrow it could be US citizens trying to get passports, driver licenses, or collect social security/medicare benefits.

Not really, since jurisprudence gives the executive a very wide latitude in deciding which foreigners to grant the privilege of entering the US. Much wider than it would give if it were a question of citizens applying for documents that they’re entitled to.
This is the isolationist attitude that people have a problem with.
We don't "owe" anything to anyone, but this not the behavior of the greatest country in the world.
Yeah, I think most of the people killing off the personal car live in bubbles.

>Mass transit will replace car ownership

Mass transit sucks in a lot of places. Where I'm from, the bus came every hour, stopped running before evening and covered only some of the town.

>Self-driving cars are here in a few years

I'm still waiting for the self-driving tech companies to start doing tests in the Finnish Lapland during winter.

As any US Visa applicant can attest to, the DS-160 is already some of the most annoying form you have to fill - in fact for most people it's less pleasurable than doing 1040.

In addition to asking for details of every school you went to, every job you had, every country you've been to, they ask you questions like this:

>> Have you ever violated, or engaged in a conspiracy to violate, any law relating to controlled substances?

>> Are you coming to the United States to engage in prostitution or unlawful commercialized vice or have you been engaged in prostitution or procuring prostitutes within the past 10 years?

>> Have you ever been involved in, or do you seek to engage in, money laundering?

>> Have you ever committed or conspired to commit a human trafficking offense in the United States or outside the United States?

>> Are you the spouse, son, or daughter of an individual who has committed or conspired to commit a human trafficking offense in the United States or outside the United States and have you within the last five years, knowingly benefited from the trafficking activities?

>> Have you knowingly aided, abetted, assisted or colluded with an individual who has committed or conspired to commit a severe human trafficking offense in the United States or outside the United States?

>> Do you seek to engage in espionage, sabotage, export control violations, or any other illegal activity while in the United States?

>> Do you seek to engage in terrorist activities while in the United States or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities?

>> Have you ever or do you intend to provide financial assistance or other support to terrorists or terrorist organizations?

>> Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization?

>> Have you ever ordered, incited, committed, assisted, or otherwise participated in genocide?

>> Have you ever committed, ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in torture?

>> Have you committed, ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in extrajudicial killings, political killings, or other acts of violence?

>> Have you ever engaged in the recruitment or the use of the child soldiers?

>> Have you, while serving as a government official, been responsible for or directly carried out, at any time, particularly severe violations of religious freedom?

>> Have you ever been directly involved in the establishment or enforcement of the population controls forcing a woman to undergo an abortion against her free choice or a man or a woman to undergo sterilization against his or her free will?

>> Have you ever been directly involved in the coercive transplantation of human organs or bodily tissue?

And now, this.

And don't get me started on the stupid fact that you cannot renew your US visa within the US, and in the end people on student/work visas have to take the pointless trip to Canada/Mexico just to get a new visa.

I hope someone eventually realizes visa applicants are people too.
This is terrible for the us. It's just another invasive thing and other countries will now use this opportunity to spy on me in return. It's idiotic. Your comment sets up a pointless argument in that of course no country is required to admit anyone, but reasonable policies invite good reciprocal treatment.
It's been an optional question for people unless they had been to certain areas recently in the middle east.
> Does that include depreciation? Even if you own the car outright, it seems to me that a proper cost accounting should include the cost of eventual replacement of the car.

I did a similar calculation and found it cost me ~$2k, and this includes depreciation, car insurance, opportunity cost (funds would be invested @ ~8% return if they weren't locked in a car - this accounted for ~40% of the cost), registration, regular repairs, and depreciation.

If you have to pay for parking and tickets, this math changes pretty dramatically.
Another factor to watch as this plays out is that electric cars have the potential of a 50 year useful life. The drive train of some makes is purported to be 500,000 in the current shipping battery technology and advances are expected to take that to 1,000,000 miles on the drive train. Compare that to ICE cars that wear out pretty reliably in the 200,000 - 250,000 range.

For a typical US buyer who drives 12,500 miles per year, 1,000,000 means they can drive the car for 80 years. They could skip buying the next 4 cars.
> There are tons of wrongs with mutating arguments. The fact that it is possible to mutate arguments in JavaScript does not make it a good idea. Such functions cannot be trusted (how can you know what happens when you call it?), and they are hard to test.

I know what happens by reading the function. Pretty much any function that calls a method on some object mutates its argument. It makes little difference if you abstract this mutation behind the method, or do it directly, or do it via a helper function that takes the object as an argument.

> There is _always_ a better alternative to mutating arguments in a function.

No. Most of those are usually more wasteful, because if you can't mutate objects, you'll have to throw them away at every mutation.

Pretty much all issues I ever had with mutation was when object was shared between multiple users, and some users were incorrectly muttating it during some operation that was meant to be temporary.

For example you store params for a AJAX call in some object and for some AJAX calls you just want to modify one of the params for some AJAX call and instead of {...params, prop: 'newval'} you just do params.newval.

But that is a mistake you do a few times, and then learn to recognize when you're doing temporary changes to use copies of objects. Anyway, it is harmful to avoid mutation at all costs.
(you can tell I've looked into this too much :p)

you're right about the wet-nurse history, so in some places breast feeding is taken to be culturally lower class (and many of the WHO type materials and studies imo on breast feeding are effectively predicated not on the benefits of breast feeding per se, but on the avoidance of not- breast-feeding substitute risks in a particular context).

but then there was a 'formula movement' just as large scale manufacturing of formula was invented and became viable, focusing on the 'sciencism' and benefits of formula (i.e. you can measure and ensure exactly how much baby is drinking, which can't be done as easily with breast).

then there was a counter- counter: a movement away from the cold/corporate providers and the science of formula to the warm/maternal side of breast feeding and a new science of breast feeding.

breast feeding then became associated in those places with the upper class, typically sharing some aspects/ popularity of attachment parenting, because in those cultures a woman being able to stop work (and spend their entire day breast feeding) is a sign of class.

which of these aspects one experiences depends on where one lives, and honestly there's probably even more breast feeding and nursing narratives out there...
The article is what I said, but the paper isn't great either. Are those names supposed to mean something? The chair of the conference that the study is presented at is absolutely irrelevant, and I don't need to conduct my own experiments to discuss flaws in the process.

This wasn't a scientific study, nor is it well-conducted, because they looked at a single publisher over the course of a week in 2016 and are drawing conclusions for the entire market when they don't understand how big the market is and how the programmatic supply chain works. People in adtech deal with petabytes of data everyday. The fact that publishers don't see much revenue lift from behavioral targeting isn't a surprise, the whole industry knows it. So the study isn't completely wrong, but just looking at small picture that ends up aligning with the larger truth.

Why the rev is low isn't covered by the study, but the article tries to come up with an explanation. This is incorrect, which is what I cover in my first comment.
Ideally, yes, but that's not how it works in general.

It's not unusual for some departments (like HR) to operate at a loss, with the costs covered by other parts of the business, or for one product to be a loss leader that guides customers to more profitable products and services.

In any case, the problem of covering those costs doesn't go away by making the employee a contractor, but it pushes the cost off to the worker.
I have 0 expertise on my own country's law, let alone US law or some specific cases in your (?) country. But that's not what Wikipedia says:

"Speech rules as to deportation, on the other hand, are unclear. Lower courts are divided on the question, while the leading cases on the subject are from the Red Scare."

It refers to multiple cases, not just the one you cherry picked. And it says the courts are divided, which implies that some judges did not agree with your narrative. Now I don't know it's about amendments or laws or some footnote or whatever you call it in legalese. The bottom line is (and that's what would matter to a foreigner), this doesn't sound like foreigners have the same level of free speech protections as citizens do at the border or within the country, and implies that they can be punished in one way or another for what they say. It won't matter to people who get deported or rejected entry whether they were rejected based on nth amendment or mth law, so your point is entirely irrelevant.

Now you can argue that this is probably the case in other nations, and it could well be. But I don't see other people here trying to portray it's all roses in their country.

Again, this isn't about whether some amendment or footnote extends to non-citizens, or some particular case. Those are just details, which won't matter if there's even just one piece of law or regulation (such as this new social media details requirement) that discriminates foreigners. So try to remember what this whole topic is about, and look at the bigger picture, from the perspective of a foreigner.

Edit You apparently prefer to double down on details which don't matter (for people who'll be negatively affected by such regulations), which is fine, but I don't really care enough to write another reply. Maybe if you travel abroad someday in the future, you can try asking how people who got their US visa application denied because of their social media postings "enjoyed" their rights.

Also, you're claiming in your reply that the Wikipedia page is wrong and implying the reference therein is unreliable, maybe you can fix it if you're sure there was no case in the history which makes it unclear, and cite a better reference?
> Wanting to raise money is an ideology?

it most certainly is. with all the startups i was involved in the decision whether to raise money from VC or to bootstrap ourselves in other ways always came down to the believes of the founders. practical considerations hardly ever mattered.
> But an increasing number of people are finding ways to commute in other ways.

Outside of LA/SF & NYC and maybe Chicago are I wonder what other ways people are looking to commute. Mass transportation even in my own city doesn't service enough areas to be in any way convenient. Biking in most cities (there are a few good ones for it) is just right out in most places due other traffic. I just feel that the people who write these kind of articles can't see beyond where they are, which is probably in one of the aforementioned cities and think the rest of the US is similar.
I don't think Title IX is discriminatory. Rather, it has been applied in discriminatory ways.
That's hardly equivalent at all, but okay. Asking for more stringent visa requirements that does not apply to US citizens is not even close to denying train passes to dissenting citizens.
Cocaine was much cheaper back in the 80s at least than now. And much purer too.
I think it is fantastic our beloved government is making these admirable changes to protect us!
This seems isolationist. Why would we want to isolate ourselves? For a country that was founded upon immigrants, that extremely benefited (and continues to) from diversity of thought and ideas, why would we want to stop that? I'm just under 30 and I still remember growing up how I was told that a major part of what made America great was the melting pot. In academia and at labs I've seen this be a huge benefit. But I don't really hear how great the melting pot is anymore (I can only think of a few times in the last decade). Maybe it was just childhood naivety. But it also seems to me that it isn't just the US that is becoming isolationist. So I have to imagine that there's something, at least in western culture, that is changing.
this looks very interesting. can you add some details how that actually looks in practice? how do you evaluate what each person contributes?
I think you're proving the parent comment's point. The number of businesses willing to pay a 500x markup is exceedingly small (potentially less than 1), and at that point the cost is high enough where it's probably cheaper to just build the redundancy yourself using multiple cloud providers (and, to emphasize, that option tends to be horribly expensive).

Reyes's testimony was after he spent a year in prison with one of the men originally convicted.

Further, his testimony was not consistent with the physical evidence:

> Reyes, 31, doesn’t mention using a knife, and a law-enforcement source said that when he was interviewed by prosecutors, he never mentioned using a knife or a razor. The medical source said this makes it doubtful Reyes acted alone because the scalp wounds that made her lose 75 to 85 percent of her blood volume were caused by a sharp object.

If you want the wrong things, for the wrong reasons, to the wrong degree, etc, then duh, of course you'll be unhappy. We are the heirs of thousands of years of thought on the subject and yet we walk around oblivious to millennia of wisdom. WE know better, of course, because we came later.

An obnoxious dogma of liberalism (as in Lockean philosophy, not as in liberal institutions -- a VERY important distinction as the latter does not require the former) seems to be that any desire is an axiomatically and unquestionable good always, with no reference to human nature and what human nature tells us is good. (I won't name the recent manifestations of the late stage liberal freak show.) Human nature is what allows us to determine whether a desire is disordered or not such a pica, pedophilia, or zoophilia, though as the full consequences of liberalism manifest, I would not be surprised if these will eventually be "discredited" as bigoted, narrow-minded, and hateful cultural and social constructions. Ideology, as always, is impervious and blind to reason, so I will no doubt be downvoted given how deeply the poison of Lockean thought has penetrated into our culture. When hedonism has possessed a man, there is not even the slightest willingness to consider the truth, and if he were to witness it, he would likely fail to recognize it because of how blinded he's become by the mindless pursuit of pleasure.

If you want to learn something about happiness, we have to look to insights of the classical tradition and not the lunacy that seized the world not 20 minutes ago. Pieper, for example, has written an excellent book on the four cardinal virtues. He's very lucid and speaks directly to the understanding. That's just the beginning.
I feel like you're talking about executing on the product, which I actually consider to be significantly smaller than executing on the market. Bringing a product to market is almost always a larger task than creating the product in the first place. I consider both of those to be execution.
