Metro Atlanta GA.

My commute is 30-40 minutes depending on traffic and we just bought a 3000 square foot 5 bedroom/3.5 bath house + a large office, new build in a great school system for $335K with 5% down. Our mortgage all in is a little less than $2100/month.

The most senior hands on developers/individual contributors/team leads can make between $130K-$160K. Even with that, it leaves more than enough to max out a 401K, and have enough fun money to do most of the things we want.

But like I said, just from talking to hiring managers over “informal lunches”, there are positions for overpriced “digital transformation consultants”, “enterprise architects”, etc. where you can get $200K and live in a lower cost of living area as long as you live near a major airport.
Back in college over a decade ago they had threatened us that they could detect when students copied work from each other and other sources, the consequences ranging from failing that assignment to expulsion.

So under one dire circumstance, I switched sentences around even at the expense of grammar. Getting points marked off for grammatical issues was a lower consequence.

I've never worked for less than six figures a day out of college.

I think the same techniques would work against this state-of-the-art defense a decade later. Introduce intentional grammatical errors and inconsistency and it will think it is written by a human which passes that test.
iPhone Debate: I’m a Mac vs. Bill Gates (2007)
I dunno, I’ve never seen a positive example of “compulsive frugality”. Obviously it’s not good to live beyond one’s means, but everyone I’ve ever known with money who would brag about their own cheapness was an utterly miserable bastard to be around. Obsessively saving money isn’t any more of a virtue than obsessively spending it, it’s just less explicitly self-destructive. Everyone I’ve ever known with money who valued their own extreme frugality or cheapness seemed like they were just feeding some sort of anxiety, or feeding their materialism and ego in a very roundabout way.
Borders still affect the positioning of things even with box-sizing set to border-box. For example, here "Block 1" is still two pixels taller than "Block 2":

<div style="padding: 8px; border: 1px solid black">
Block 1
</div>

<div style="padding: 8px;">
Block 2
</div>

> The author is arguing for semantic markup, but prior to HTML5 the concept barely existed

Not really. The concept existed and was well known in many developer circles (e.g. List Apart Issue 268 from 2008 http://alistapart.com/issue/268/).
> this is definitely not about self improvement.

Well, even when we learn to read and write, and learn maths, is that not self-improvement? Do we learn this things because they are beneficial and useful in our lives; or is it just a matter of achieving the highest score?

When you write things on this forum; is your only motivation to receive the most upvotes and get the highest score?

Just because something is useful to society, doesn't mean that it will have no use for ourselves, does it?
Generally yes, I prefer titles that are descriptive rather than "this is a clever title and you'll find out why later"
If I'm in the market for a product, if a company makes a decent product chances are I'll find out about it by reading reviews, etc. I don't need ads for that.

Because if you file a lawsuit with a signed contract, you probably get a summary judgement and can put a lien on the income of the other party. If you file a lawsuit without one you get to testify in court about what each party said and who knows where it ends.
Found the article very interesting and read some articles on the referenced blogs. More about her husband for those interested:

https://www.thefrugalgene.com/husband-became-rich-young-no-m...
This. Her brand is called "Merry for Money" (intentional pun?).

I'm disappointed and feel slightly bait and switched. Her husband's income enables her take on ephemeral gigs and run a blog full-time instead of working at a regular 9-5 job. Also, her extreme frugality is just a fun thought experiment, blog topic and hobby for her. It is impractical and an ineffective use of time for non-hobbyists --- if she had to work a full-time job, she would be better off spending more time developing her career and less time being extremely frugal.

Additionally, I like reading about 1st/2nd generation immigrant stories but she appears to also solve the integration and cultural challenges of her immigrant background by marrying an all-american rich white guy.

Really interesting company, and I'm surprised there's not more traffic on this post. They seem to provide a large amount of the physical and closed-system banking services as-a-service, from accounts to cards to loans.

I think the biggest problem I see is that, like AWS, a lot of other companies have all the same infra in place (even more so in banking) and the margins are going to vanish.

Their pricing is also opaque and it's difficult to see how the actual model of partnering with them works.

On the bright side, I think this potentially unlocks a whole new era of fintech, especially around consumer banking.
Why would wages follow productivity? Arn’t there a ton of counteracting factors, like productivity decreasing demand for labor?
Gooood bless you sir!
You need to take into account the added value of productivity gains: who’s getting it?

If I have a better yield for a given task, then I will provide exactly what my employer asked me for the price we agreed.
Eg. That means that if we agreed for 8h * 5d for a given task, and manage to do it in 8h * 3d, I obviously won’t work more.

At least not before discussing the share of my productivity gains added value.

Being zealous is the best way to get fooled.

Another thing, these 40h or even 35h in France won’t limit your freedom, you can obviously work more: it’s a disguised pay raise.

I think also that’s not ideal if applied uniformly.
The price of some goods and services will mechanically rise, and you might end up “richer” but everything got expensive at the same time.

It should be bound to the marginal cost of production or the derivative of the price wrt quantity.

If you’re sublinear then you’re good to go. Otherwise it’s simply a no no.

Sorry if there’s some mistakes, I’m typing on my phone.
> If he's not paid, what validity does the contract have?

What does this mean? The contract is valid absent payment.

A contract has to have consideration for both parties to be a valid contract, but a promise of payment is a perfectly valid consideration and would make the contract valid.

This assumes that weekly productivity scales evenly with hours worked. It doesn’t. It will vary per person, profession, etc. but four day work weeks can be surprisingly effective even before considering the effects of potential mental health improvements.

You could also consider 10 hour four day weeks, though I guess at 10 hours many would see fatigue affecting their work.

Europe's agriculture sector is strong largely because of tariff and political protections that keep out competition. The EU's agriculture tariffs are about 100% higher than the US.

The US and Australia have the lowest agriculture tariffs of any major economies or groups such as the EU. Drastically lower in fact. Russia for example - a wheat juggernaut now - has agriculture tariffs over 3x that of the US.
You would be surprised how many people care deeply about this. And they can tell a lot about the purses and their owners. Those that care put in a lot of time to research them - like some people do cars.

I think this is done systematically in Reddit, for example, where typos are inserted in reposts to bypass detection. A lot of the frontpage is riddled with creative typos and grammatical errors.

Reminds me of a story I read once about a woman who had finally gotten the purse she wanted.

She was walking down the sidewalk an a woman coming the other way had an even more expensive purse which she turned toward her.

The expensive purse woman took a subtlety diagonal path to gradually force her to the side until she had to step behind a light post to avoid a collision.

Quite the power move hahaha.

Humanity has been having this debate for thousands of years, e.g. the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper. It's a virtue to work hard and plan for the future. Delayed gratification is a foundational building block of civilization. There's a balance that each person must strike but I'm hesitate to criticize unless someone has parked at one extreme end of the spectrum or the other. The secret may be to more carefully measure and unnderstand experiential ROI from money spent which our traditionally materialistic focused consumer culture does not make very transparent.

Diversity is important because Grover anti-fake news Neural Network would have never reared its head to the public if they had some people who also skirted through university undetected merely point out "hey you can trick this thing"
Not to take away from these findings, but in general, individual genetics can radically change the way many drugs work, and even doctors seem blissfully unaware of this. Caffeine, for example, has a different elimination half-life based on your genetics. There are also genetic polymorphisms in adenosine and dopamine receptors that can change its effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4242593/. Another obvious example is how some people can't process alcohol.

If you think about this for a minute, it sheds some light into how primitive medical research is. We generally assess the effectiveness of a drug based on how it affects one metric on average for a large group of people. It could well be that a drug is helpful to some and detrimental to others based on genetics, microbiome, etc. It follows that we are very likely to be giving people drugs that are harmful to them, and rejecting drugs in medical studies that could be helpful to some but are unhelpful to most.
Clickbait headline warning for that, btw.
You're talking about prediction and classification, not inference.

Why was I denied car insurance? How come I didn't get past the initial algorithmic screening phase of that job application? If you can't answer those questions properly you're in legal trouble in many jurisdictions.

So going back to the original comment, that's why people are trying to understand neural networks, and why statistical inference and not just raw predictive power is important.
Anecdote: My dad (finance/accounting guy) lost his job in his 40's and was never able to find another one.

Thankfully my mom makes enough for things to work out, and they own a piece of rental property, and my dad stashed away a lot of money for retirement while he worked (to the dismay of my mother).

Additionally, the company I work at is half (or more) people hired straight out of college which kinda makes me feel weird. It's a small company that has been around ~15 years or so, and I feel like their hiring practices would lead to their ass getting handed to them in court.

I like the people I work with, but something definitely feels wrong.

Seeing an ad with the same actor as the show I'm currently watching, and its like yes I did want to know about that.

So running a business and requiring your employees to work 5 days, 35-40 hours a week like the rest of the western world (excluding 966 and other countries that work even more), suddenly my business should not exist because you believe everyone working there is now miserable because they have to show up at work 5 times a week instead of 4? Are you ok?
I heard a great quote once: Local news exists to scare the elderly.
That's fair. Semantic markup did exist pre-HTML5. I guess I should say that HTML5 emphasized it and drove adoption.

My own commentary on this:

I've been consulting the last few months, mostly brought in to coach CTO's. I'm (somewhat unwillingly) coming to the conclusion that nobody really feels like they know how to manage programmers.

This leads to mismanagement, and nobody likes being mismanaged, (also it usually means you're being underpaid), so devs eventually wise up and get out. If you think about it, this is a natural extension of the "the best code is no code" ethos.

The best situations I've seen are programmers-managing-programmers. I've been lucky in my career to work for multiple "engineer-turned-founder" types, and these have felt the most "aligned."

I suspect that MBA programs should start including a CS component.
Ask HN: Are you aware of any banks that offer a consumer API
I’m looking for a place to put my money that offers an API that I can consume with my own scripts. I don’t want to make a scalable app with something like Plaid. I just want to be able to pull down current balances and transaction history; I don’t want my API key to be able to transfer money external. Bonus points if I can open unlimited sub-accounts and make internal transfers between them. I’m happy to pay a modest fee for this service. Double bonus for existing mobile UI. Does something like that exist?
I agree. But I mean it in the sense that they are a very low % of users and you have to ponder if it makes sense to spend the money to support them.
When you fork a repository on Github, the website retains the association between the original and forked repos. But there are also artificial limitations e.g. Github forks can't be private when there's no technical reason that couldn't be the case. A forked repo is fundamentally just a clone with a different origin (i.e. changes get committed to a new place). What we think of as "forking" is the user experience that services like Github provide. If you clone a repository and then make a new project on Github with it, Github has no way of identifying that what you've done is technically a fork. It could obviously, but it doesn't.

Templating is basically the same thing, but it's more like clone a repository, delete the .git folder, run git init, and then associate the repo with your account. Except this all happens transparently on Github's servers and what you end up with is a clean new project with an "initial commit".

So in a sense whether you fork or template, you're still cloning a repo, but what happens after you clone is different in each case (and is also different from "just" cloning).
Glyphosate is absolutely a pesticide. It's an herbicide, which is a type of pesticide.

And AFAICT, glyphosate doesn't pose a significant risk to humans in the amounts people would normally be exposed to. It's really quite harmless. However, it can become more harmful when mixed with other chemicals, but honestly, the other chemicals are probably more harmful than it.

Most of the birds were not even infected yet, so they were not in any painful condition.

I guess the word 'euthanized' was used because typically those birds are gassed with CO2, which is a relatively humane way of killing them.
> Killing a non-suffering animal is never euthanasia

These animals were exposed to a fatal virus. I suppose it would be more humane to let them live until they exhibit sings of the disease, but this would lead to faster spread of the virus because infected birds have more time to transmit it. Testing every individual bird is logistically impossible, so culling those populations in infected areas is the only feasible way to stop the spread of disease.

> it is eu because it is “sweet”. Otherwise it is just thanatos: death.

My point is that drawing a distinction between these things is nonsensical.

Executed. Put down. Murdered. Euthanized. Slaughtered. All these words fall under the umbrella of meaning "to kill" but they all have distinct meanings about the circumstances of the killing. Since this is an intentional killing for medical reasons, euthanasia is the most accurate word to use. You could say "slaughtered" but that would incorrectly indicate that these animals were killed for meat consumption. You could say "executed" but that would incorrectly imply that these animals were killed as some sort of punishment. You could just say "killed" but that is less specific and does not indicate that this killing was done deliberately for medical reasons.

> No ned to sweeten something which is not bitter.

It doesn't "sweeten" anything, the article makes it clear that the owners of these birds are not happy to have them euthanized.
Also, as my username combined with what else I've said might imply, I'm a transgender woman. I really thought dating women as a woman would be harder after transitioned, because most women are straight.

But the confidence benefits were huge enough that my dating life is actually a lot better. I only online dated before then, and after, I can go to (queer) bars and pick up girls and bring them home. I still have the problem that I mentioned in my other reply, that it's really hard to get people to stay (I say "people will go to bed with me, but they won't wake up with me")

I don't think you're transgender (and if you are, that's a separate discussion), but the lesson I draw from this is that you are better off if you maximize the things that naturally interest you rather than trying to be someone you're not. Snowboarding and rock climbing are both great contexts to meet people in. If you are confident and in your element there, you'll probably attract people much better than if you put a lot of effort into trying to be someone you're not.

I also have the somewhat receding hairline which is a lot more unsightly on a woman than a man. I had a couple consults over the last couple weeks about hair transplants, actually. Usually I wear berets. But nobody else is as bothered about it as I am; the hat always comes off when I bring someone home.

If you put a certain energy and intensity into the world, people will see it and not the other more minor things. If you're reserved and unconfident then they'll see more of the rough details. If you feel "aimless" as you've said you are, people won't see the energy you put towards the things you love, they'll see that instead.

Some people are born confident and attractive and never had much reason to question it. Some of us really had to work for it. But the answer wasn't PUA stuff (I spent a decade trying that), but transitioning and really embracing who I am.
China is commuting mass genocide against the Uighur people, has a surveillance state beyond that of any other nation, it is clearly intending on annexing Taiwan in 5 years whether Taiwan likes it or not, massacred protestors in Tiananmen Square, has a dictator for life, and it didn’t need a democracy or populism to achieve any of that.

Yes. A democratic China would be better for the world.

I see your point, but I also don't think it's crazy to calculate effective savings as net wealth contribution over net wage income, which seems to be how she's thinking about it.

Actually, to me, savings percentage isn't important as a bottom line number. It's just a helpful intermediate number for understanding cash flow. I'm much more interested in net wealth contribution and how that dials up to future plans involving large sums of money (e.g. moving or expanding house, education, letting go of wage income, major philanthropy, estate plans, risk management).
