Internet users are a million times too quick to jump to the conclusion that other internet users must be dishonest, shills, or spies, simply because they hold a different view. The explanation is nearly always much more mundane. Meanwhile such accusations are toxic in their own right—they have a poisonous effect on HN. That's why the guidelines rule out making these insinuations. I've posted a lot about this if you or anyone want more explanation: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

To pick just one possible explanation, sometimes people feel so strongly about a topic that they are propelled into making a new account where they had previously been lurking. I don't know which account you're referring to, so I don't know if that's the case here. However, you don't need to "call" them anything. You can respond if you want to, as long as you do so thoughtfully and substantively and without personal swipes.

On a typical 30 year mortgage you haven’t paid much principle in the first 5-10 years. So if you’re still down 10% (as some of those cities are), you could still be in the red.

Again, if you have an argument with Wikipedia, maybe you should tell _them_ instead of going onto HN and spouting incorrect and inflammatory material.

"Learn to read", "disingenuous jackoffs", "can't fucking read", "fucking privileged pussy" -- these are all your words. I call them inflammatory. You seem to disagree, but the consensus will line up with me on this one. Please realize that. Your initial post was modded down by others for a reason.

You appear hypersensitive to people who disagree with you. Dude, this is the sign of emotional problems. You need to calm down and realize there's something wrong in your head or in your life, and when you can begin to write like an emotionally secure adult, you'll be taken seriously.

I implore you, please, to analyze your life, find the things that are harming you, and rectify them. I believe, given this interaction with you, that you would benefit from this kind of introspection.

As an example of your extreme sensitivity, when you say "the maximum sentence he would have spent 35 years in jail", on this issue we are in agreement. Somehow, you turn this into an opposition. You seem to be looking for a fight, and you're trying to do it on the Internet. I will not fight you on the Internet, my friend. That would be counter-productive.
Hypothetically, a companies value should be a sum of it’s expected infinite cash flows divided by the discount rate.

If a company lost $10 one year, $5 another, and broke even the third a guess of making money the fourth year is probably more reasonable than a guess of making the average, even with a marginal book value.

Therefore, I don’t think it’s that surprising that companies losing money are still worth a lot.

This isn’t always a reasonable way to think of things, though. It’s important to consider the actual realities of the business. For Slack, I think it’s largely fine. There really shouldn’t be a hard constraint preventing them from making shit tons of money.

Uber and Lyft are a different story. I have a hard time imagining a situation in which those companies will ever be profitable, even with self-driving cars, save one buying out the other.

Scientific Research Shouldn’t Sit Behind a Paywall
I tend to think that there's some business opportunity here, especially for tech companies (although they might not be entirely a private sector). I've seen numerous companies who are specialized in surveillance and communication for the elderly. They are not yet widespread due to technical and privacy concerns, but I'd be excited to see more development in this area in future.

1. Contact information should not be just an email address. It’s better to have email, phone and any locally popular communication channels. In countries such as China, people don’t use email as often as apps like wechat. Desk clerks are less likely to register an email address to return a wallet, especially when it doesn’t have anything valuable inside.

2. The difference between money and no-money percentage may be a better indicator of civil honesty. The absolute percentage reflects more about a “I’ll wait for someone to come” or “not my business” attitude of desk clerks.

3. It is better to put something important to the owner but not everyone else in the wallet, such as a driver license or national ID card. This could reduce “not my business” factor.
Reads like a slam to me.

Sully is not given to hyperbole. When he says "not even close" you can take it as given. He doesn't need to say, "shame on them!" But you know, and he knows you know.
>Some customers would assume that since a place did repair the phone that Apple approves of them doing so, therefor putting liability on Apple.

This whole argument is that Apple should not be able to "approve" anyone from doing anything they want with the phone that they supposedly paid for and own.

>Plus people do have an unrealistic idea of which parts would ever be replaceable. Batteries sure, but individual chips would be not be.

There was a video I saw about a guy putting together his own iphone from parts in China. They can replace individual chips. But not with the DMCA.
Hot-Desking Will Kill Your Company
Different people/cultures are good at different things. The Japanese are really good at taking an existing product and making it much better in terms of quality, durability, finish, etc.

However saying that the Japanese are better at everything does injustice to western society - which incidentally has had a stellar record inventing everything from cars to planes to cameras. Sure, the finish and panache of the final product may be lacking a little, but without the fierce can-do attitude and i-dont-care-for-authority attitude that is a hallmark of western society, none of these might have come to be.

PS: I'm neither Japanese nor western.

It's a matter of ecosystem of packages. R has a huge number of packages for many fields. Python has fewer, but might work for particular use cases. I was excited for Julia, and played around with it since 0.2, but it really hasn't generated very many packages of note in my particular field (bioinformatics).
Step1: Write pages in pure html
Step2: Organize your html into folders that are similar
Step3: Write some scripts to generate more folders easily
Step4: Write some sed scripts to make changes across files
Step5: Release your scripts as your own site generator

Or you could just spend 15 minutes trying to patch your existing site generator to suite your needs. This article sucks. Downvote.
Open Plan Offices Kill Productivity. Here's What to Do Instead.
I whole heartedly agree. Python is garbage for data science. If an industrial grade NN library was written for it, plus some quant libraries, I think most people would switch.

I work in finance doing data science-y things and have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t think that Python is a pile of garbage.

People used to make the easy to learn argument, but Julia is even easier. And more elegant, extensible, and faster.
This could be important. Where can we find out more?
Area 51 is a bit of a unique case in how incredibly mythologized it is. I've never been, so I can't speak from firsthand experience, but my understanding is that it's not so much that the boundary is ambiguous as that the people guarding the facility are sometimes overzealous. In any case, those guards, like the signs, are declaring the presence of a military facility. While the Air Force might prefer that no one really knows what they do there, there's no doubt that it's a military facility. It's a perfect example of why the phrase "undeclared military facility" doesn't make any sense at all.
I think we all look back fondly to the early days of HTML sites where everything was pure, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking it was the best setup for things like blogs. If you want to be a purist, do so by leveraging newer advancements like web components. Suggesting people copy and paste HTML/CSS for every post is a really bad suggestion for anything that isn't a weekend project that you will never touch again.

And also, isn't a HTML IDE the equivalent of a static site generator except lacking any of the actual features that make generators appealing?

A very reasonable stance -- congratulations on getting lucky (unless it was the result of tons of research) and picking Mithril after jumping from Backbone (+Marionette I assume). There were a lot of wrong, but good-looking choices to make there.

In case it wasn't clear, I still think Vue is the best minimal component library all things considered -- simple syntax, simple and mostly clear usage, support for typescript, not too much overbearing tooling (they're trying to "fix" this with vue-cli though), and a large community & ecosystem. I'm just scared they're going to blow it and start putting in , but I'm well aware I'm just a hanger-on to the project (I don't contribute to it).

Mithril[0], on the other hand is almost allergic to change, in the linux kernel way, which is great until you have a problem with how it works or think it should work differently. Mithril is also the most complete though -- it has routing, AJAX, all that stuff built in (context: normally when people say "vue/react" they mean "vue/react + vue/react-router + vuex/flux"). I also particularly like how Mithril uses the hyperscript syntax and just calls it a day -- full "single file components" without the transpilation hassle. Mithril also passes one of the key indicators for high quality software, a comparisons page[1].

Shameless plug -- I wrote a short guide[2] on how to get started with mithril & parcelJS (ignore the link URL, I started with rollup and then quit because it was too inconvenient to use, I write about it in Step 5):

Yeah, Google needs to make this move on Android. If they're just say "okay, if you want Android 10, you need to provide your drivers in this exact ABI way, no more custom software crap, we push the updates", that'd be awesome - basically, use the Windows model.

I believe the only reason they didn't do this out of the gate is because device manufacturers wouldn't have signed on for it. Android is establish enough at this point that it's not like many device manufacturers could really step back from it at this point.

Treble is a strong step in this direction - but they need to take it farther, open up customization APIs and drop the garbage manufacturers pump into devices. The way Treble is right now it only benefits power users who have their devices rooted - who could update without the manufacturers permission anyways.

I wonder if their only hesitation at this point is the mess they're making with ChromeOS and all their other garbage... I think the Android roof was the right one to bet on, massive numbers of users with primary devices running it, but I fear they've done significant damage with their other offerings.
Looks like lots of good progress.

But who says we don't want the date on the lock screen, and what are they smoking?

julia has really good interop with both of python and R as well as cpp, matlab, mathematica and others.

I might rest my eyes for a few minutes, but avoid napping.

Keeping a steady waking time is the main thing. Rather than limiting myself to 6 or 7 hours I'll stay up reading to a low warm light until sufficient sleep pressure has built up (easy enough to identify). A preceding relaxation routine helps, and time away from electronics. I do a quick yoga stretching thing. If it so happens I hit the sack and can't fall asleep, I'll sit up for a couple of minutes, then try again.
At one point my company moved offices and the technical support team sat next to some of the HR people.

It was a culture clash that never ended. The HR folks complained that the support team never left their desks and we're downright unfriendly, and we're "always on the phone". (That was their job...)

The support team hated the constant noise and drama (such as crying, yes crying, and petty infighting going on in HR land).

Eventually support was moved "because it was closer to the lab".

I can't imagine the results of hot desking.

The cost is incredibly high and, if it becomes a bridge to nowhere, that incredibly high cost is paying for a terrible quality of life that will only get worse.

One of the patients in the story was a 17 year old with cystic fibrosis. Iirc, CF accounts for a third of all adult lung transplants in the US and half of all pediatric lung transplants in the US.

One drug for CF costs $250k to $300k annually. Patients who get a transplant go through around a million dollars worth of medical care in the year of the transplant. Following transplant, they have to add antirejection meds to their typically long list of other drugs.

Some years ago, some estimates put the treatment for CF at $100k to $250k annually. Some members of CF discussion groups would then wonder out loud "Where did they get these figures? They sound crazy low."

At the time, life expectancy for CF was 36 years old.

Around that time, one mom said "My child with CF just turned 18. When they were born, life expectancy for CF was 18. Now, it's 36."

People who get transplants can also go into rejection, which sound like a pretty gruesome death from what I have read.

The ethics of who get these kinds of treatments is really complicated. It does everyone a disservice to view it through rose tinted glasses. It's just not that simple.
Plus a good package manager, insanely good interop, one good ide, etc etc.

> But how can I then keep the style and layout of all my posts and pages in sync?

I love his answer to this one. Just don't and you end up with blog posts that are like a time capsule. This is a benefit in my books and something that might actually shift the scale in favor of writing my blog in HTML next.
I feel like a happier medium would be to use a Makefile or something to automatically concatenate a shared header + content + shared footer. Addresses the concerns about maintaining the bits and pieces shared among multiple pages, while at the same time avoiding a lot of the complexity of a full-blown static site generator.
I mean, if it's a give-a-can-take-a-can for when a neighbor doesn't have some black beans and needs them for a recipe, but sometimes those darn homeless people just happen to "rob" it? Or is food not under lock and key illegal?
Wrong. In medium to large cities, the homeless are everywhere. They're in our neighborhoods, they're on our way to work, they're outside our office.
They do cover this in the FAQ:

> Who is the Little Free Pantry for? The LFP is for neighbors helping neighbors. In high poverty areas, the LFP is most often for those who are not easily able to meet everyday food and personal needs. In middle class neighborhoods, the LFP might stock after-school snacks for neighborhood kids or that "cup of sugar" you never have when you need it. (In my case it's an onion.) In all places, the Little Free Pantry is for those who want and/or need to give.

They also go into how it differs from a traditional food pantry which already exists:

> How does the Little Free Pantry differ from other food pantries? ...

All that said, I do think this is won't turn out well for a few other reasons:

- wild animals

- liability

- the elements

Food is very different from books, books have relatively low value, and are easier to protect from the elements (they don't get literally baked by excessive heat/humidity).

While it's nice to see the effort (I'm glad people are trying to make things better for each other) this might be a feel-good local thing to do, but it's not the way to fix societal problems sustainably. If you want to get rid of high poverty areas pay people living wages (in my opinion this is more than enough to pay the rent), and stop funding an already over-budgeted military in favor of funding school programs.
I’d argue that no company bigger than 1 person is capable of such a thing.

Alright - the term "overtime" here was confusing me. In America, overtime means getting paid 1.5x your normal hourly rate. I have a lineman friend who eventually gets paid 2x his normal rate over some number of hours.

I don't know of a better term to use, but "overtime" is certainly a tricky one to use here.

And? If you sell a product, you don't own it anymore. The owner owns it and should be able to do whatever they want with it.

If someone is selling exploding batteries that fit an iphone, it's up to the government to shut them down for being unsafe, or the burn victims to sue the exploding battery repair shops.

Despite their marketing, Apple is not the only company in the world that is capable of making a non-exploding battery.

The FUD about iphones being some magical object carried down on the wings of angels and suddenly becoming unclean and flammable because a third-party battery was inserted is ridiculous.

Laptops have had replaceable batteries for decades without the sky falling down - until the Apple reality-distortion field was successfully engaged to disable people's rational thinking.

The other part to this is that you have regular 1:1 meetings with your leadership (like, every two weeks or so), and you’re not terrified out of your gourd when it comes time again for your next 1:1.

If you feel like you’re being sent to the Principals Office every time you get called in for a 1:1, that’s a bad sign.

I misread this for a minute and thought the 5.4” iPhone was coming out THIS year. Immediately started thinking sell vs trade-in, stand in line on launch day vs order it shipped, etc.

Nope, my mistake. Smaller iPhone coming in 2020. Ok, I’ll wait. My SE will be fine until then.

Type checking isn’t really related to typing “int.” Many languages infer types. In fact, Hindley Milner type systems should be able to infer all types without explicitly specifying any of them.
This comes up every so often, but is unfortunately not really true: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/railroad-gauge-chariots/

Rail gauges are an interesting topic and there are a variety of gauges and many were experimented with over the years. Russia and Eastern Europe mostly runs on 1,520mm broad gauge. New Zealand and non-high-speed Japanese rails are 3'6". Wider gauges make trains more stable at high speed but require much larger corners, and vice versa.

Homeless people mostly don't want or need items like flour and sugar. They typically lack a means to cook.

They generally need hot meals and snacks that can be consumed promptly. They have little to no storage capacity and carrying things everywhere is exhausting.
