In Charts: China's Reliance on US Technology
Just remove the tax penalty from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income-based_repayment and student loans won’t hold anyone back. (You pay only up to 10-15% of your discretionary income. After 30 years the remaining balance is forgiven, but the IRS considers the forgiven balance income and will try to tax you on it)

Also, this should be the default payment plan instead of the 10-year repayment which is currently the default. For some reason people don’t seem to be aware of income-based repayment and are always talking about how their student loans are holding them back, i’m not sure why but I’d guess like any program, the default settings are what most people stick with.
The role of the shop you are shopping at is to get filthy rich peddling shoddy junk made with effectively slave labor, while degrading both the manufacturer and consumer societies at the same time.
He is proposing taxing all stock transactions .5%. I’d pay that and .5% I move my nest egg around adds up.

And his projections are pants-on-Fire stupid because he doesn’t account for the fact all high freq trading would move offshore if they taxed trades .5%.

Sanders is either an idiot or a bullshitter.
> they forgot that it's about telling the computer to do something, as clearly as possible

Or alternatively, it's to explain to the next reader of the code, as clearly as possible, how the problem was solved (in such a way that it can also be executed by the computer).
So they'd still be against giving people who recklessly took $200k in loans to study oil painting a free ride.
Yes, but LLVM is not very suitable in general for FPGA/ASIC design. FIRRTL[1][2] looks much more complete and fit among various alternatives.

The housing crisis that the government bailed out?
>By the numbers: Sanders plans to pay for the action by hitting Wall Street with a tax his campaign says will raise $2.2 trillion over 10 years, according Vox.
This is how I see it, too. Colleges at this point are just siphoning money out of the federal government by jacking up tuition by rates several times the rate of inflation every year, and it doesn't take much effort to realize that the next generation of students will have to take on insane amounts of debt to gain even the opportunity of entry to the professional class. Even nowadays I have a hard time believing the pseudonymous internet bootstrappers who somehow paid for a bachelor's degree in 2012 by waiting tables between classes.
I think older workers are wise to work fewer hours and demand more holiday. Still, companies exploit the flexibility of young people.
As someone with $40k in student loans remaining from my econ degree(after paying off $10k+), I'm fully in support of this. I don't know what "we" you're appealing to, but I certainly consider this "fair" in the sense that I'm more than happy to give back to my community, fellow students, and younger generations so that they don't have to struggle through the same things I did. It sounds like this position is that others be punished for/with student loans because they decided to get an education.

1. According to the article Bernie is proposing a 0.5% tax on trades, and a 1% tax on bonds. Given that ~half of all Americans invest in the stock market[0] (and given how Wall Street has acted) this doesn't seem to be a big issue in my opinion (obviously others will disagree with me).

2. I do have empathy for those who have taken on such debt, because such debt should not in aggregate be so large as to impact the economy adversely (which it has, and will continue to do via consumer spending etc...). Additionally, I know very few, if any teens who are able to understand the intricacies of debts/loans, let alone adults(I'm sure this argument will be mis-characterized).

It may sound grandstanding, but I genuinely believe that we should care more about the medical, financial, and social/political well being of others in this country, and I think this is a good first step for that.

Tricks and Tips: Debugging Your Website from Android Devices Productivity
I was working on running Image Classifications on Browser. While it was working fine on my PC, the expected output was not coming when I was running it from Mobile.. I had to inspect and debug it with the Browser's Dev tool! But on mobile device? How? That's when I learned this Trick and thought of doing a small write-up on it,

>I grew up in a country that doesn't charge money for education.

Your country almost certainly does charge for education, you're just shielded from the immediate cost.

>The system of being unable to discharge student loan debt via bankruptcy seems brazenly corrupt, though, such that demolishing the whole thing may be an appropriate response.

Alternatively, going forward we could allow the discharging of student debt in bankruptcy with the knowledge that this would prevent many useless degrees from being funded and correspondingly would result in a large decrease in higher education spending. I'm fully in favor. For far too many people college is merely an extended adolescence and creates perverse signaling issues when it comes to getting a good job. As a nation, we should be more mindful of the degrees we decide to fund and the amounts dedicated to such degrees. Your nation, which "doesn't charge money for education," is almost certainly doing this.
Jesus Singularity: a H+ short story
Not a DaaS startup, but I've managed millions of dollars worth of data acquisition and sales before.

Having seen both the selling and acquisition side of the table, the only concrete advice I can give you is to pay handsomely for experienced sales staff. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to data pricing, and no matter what you do you will invariably price out specific market segments while underpricing for other market segments. And as the article mentioned, there are a lot of potential licensing and usage covenants involved in data sales, which are all possible factors in pricing. Without a good sales team to do client and market discovery, it's really hard to understand what to settle on for norms as far as both pricing and licensing go.

On the flip side of that: if you're ever purchasing data at any amount of volume, ignore listed pricing. It's absolutely fungible, and well worth the tedious dance of traditional sales. In addition to better financial terms, you can usually get adjustments to the licensing and usage covenants to better accommodate your use case. Doubly so if your use case is nonstandard for that vendor - plenty of data-oriented services are tailored for specific industries and uses, and their pricing sheets and tiers are designed around the use cases and marginal value of the data within that industry. When sourcing data, I could get pretty incredibly deals from these companies, as their sales teams basically used the transaction as a form of market discovery and saw the relationship as a way to feel out a particular market segment they hadn't been going after previously.

“Spam” is unwanted mail, plenty of people opt into marketing emails for whatever reason. Just because you personally don’t like it doesn’t mean no one does.
> While I can understand that, the root issue is that this “hacking” is in fact a public service—whistleblowing.

How do you establish that a given act of hacking is or is not a public service? Especially in cases where there isn't a bright line like "someone broke law XYZ".

It seems like going to court & having a jury decide that is not obviously the wrong solution. So even if one supports your position, it seems like the issue would still end up in court with a jury deciding whether someone spends years in jail or goes free.
Intel Quark has some catastrophic errata which make it unable to run any stock Linux distribution. In particular, there's an issue with its implementation of the LOCK instruction prefix which can cause unpredictable crashes -- and the CPU has no microcode update facility, so there's no way to patch it.
I have spent more time than I'm comfortable with over the last couple of years railing against microservices. But this seems like a classic case where microservices are needed. Each team can handle their own writing/validation and expose them to themselves and other services(including the global service). Of course you run into issues with transaction occurring across multiple databases but these problems are hard but solvable.

> All incoming writes need to go into a centralized log, such as Kafka, and then from there the various databases can pull what they need, with each team making its own decisions about what it needs from that central log.

This sounds crazy. I don't know any large companies that have successfully implemented it. This is basically arguing for a giant central database across the entire company. Good luck getting the 300 people necessary into a room and agreeing on a schema.

P.S. I don't know if he's using database as a shorthand for a service. If he is then you can ignore everything I've written.
It's still supported on 18.04 LTS etc, they just don't want to support it in 20.04 LTS, so this is a preparation move.

Honest question: With so many alternatives to Amazon (direct brand retail, Walmart, Target, regional competitors) probably offering lesser fake products and still failing, doesn't it mean that the overall consumer base is not as concerned about the fake product issue?

It could be because:

1) Fake product issue is not as widespread (per user, seller or per transaction)

2) Fake product cases are usually resolved in a satisfactory enough way to dissuade the consumer/seller from seeking alternatives

3) The annoyance of getting a fake product is outweighed by other conveniences offered

If any of the above is true, well, there is not a real problem for Amazon to address.

Of course, the assumption is that there are theoretical alternatives to Amazon for getting stuff you need, minus the convenience perhaps, but with higher degree of trust in product quality.
Why? They are massive objects that has zero camouflage against the ocean. How hard could it be?
I mean, of course you support a proposal to wipe off 80% of your entire student debt. I don't think you get to call it "giving back to the community" when you're a net taker under the proposal.
The message and comments actually raise more questions. While they might not completely remove the i386 libraries, they will be marked as "legacy" and will not see any updates (frozen 18.04 versions). But what about security fixes? The thread is an interesting read, but also feels like this was made as a uninformed decision; were the consequences realized? And if they were, why is this not properly communicated? Their userbase and 'partners'
need to know and understand what this means to them. Reading the response from Valve, this clearly isn't the case.
As they should be it's concering that reporting the truth can get you arrested and have this much bullshit be brought up against you the government always gets bad when anything negative comes out about them it's disgusting, imo this is more of a freedom of the press issue rather than an espionage issue.
Consumerism is a cornerstone of economic growth. If there wasn't a demand for the various goods and services that we all produce our collective standard of living would be quite low. I agree that a balance should be struck and at our current pace we are turning our planet into a dumpster fire, but 'not spending' is political kryptonite - how are we going to deal with the people who will (inevitably) lose their jobs?

How do you make a living?

It's nice tool!

My experience is that the actual power wielded by a high level executive is usually inversely proportional to the size of the organization they manage. Such executives are typically more effective at guiding strategic direction, not prescribing tactics.

Large, mature organizations have a lot of inertia, and that inertia is difficult to overcome except by perhaps the most charismatic individuals. I’ve rarely seen a leader dictate or bully their way to effective, positive change. Resistance is extremely likely for various reasons, and it’s not likely to be in the form of vocal mutiny. Instead, it typically appears in the form of excuses or lethargy. A waiting game is played, usually with success, until the musical chairs shift the management once again.
The logic of this "not being fair" sounds more to me like "if I couldn't have it, no one else can!" I for one would be happy even if they just made college tuition free without canceling the debt. I'd be happy if younger people could get an education without having to worry about things I had to. I want to see others succeed, I don't want to hold them back because they have to suffer like I did.
Seems you try using mail for a purpose it was not invented for? I think mail should be what it is: an electronic analogon for real mails. If you send "real" mail you have no control how/when/if I am going to reply or even read it. If you want this type of control, use another tool. I guess this is why Jehovah's Witness ring the door but do not send mail;)

>> Plaintext mail should not just continue to function. A plain text mail should be default.

> Well, I just do not agree with that.

I referred to the fact that you mean it "should" work for a foreseeable future. I mean it should work with plaintext for ever without require a user to parse $scriptLanguageOfTheYear relying on framework $fancyShitOfTheYear. We have been there - remember IE6.
This could easily be remedied by our editors offering a keystroke to inline the function definition in a smaller font and different colour so that we may read it, in order, as though it were one big file. Once the gist of the function has been understood, another keypress could take it away.

Visual Studio has this and it's called "Peek at function".
The integrity of B&H over my years of ordering from them is literally unparalleled in my experience. Only if I can’t find an item from them will I check elsewhere at this point. If Amazon wants inspiration as to how to do things right...
As we learned in 2008, taking $2.2 trillion from "Wall Street" will have major effects on "Main Street" (we nearly had a total economic meltdown over Wall Street holding a "mere" $0.5T in toxic assets). Wall Street is not some wholly separate entity from the rest of the economy.
Maybe. That'd still put the distribution in the strange position of shipping old 32-bit versions of libraries alongside newer 64-bit ones. I'd be concerned that using two different versions "side by side" could cause problems.
I think the bidding war is actually a sign of a pretty efficient market in that tier of jobs. The only thing that would really increase engineer pay significantly would be killing the H-1B program, but that would probably be devastating to the industry. Especially smaller companies.

EDIT: also devastating of course to the tens of thousands of people who would have to abandon the lives they've built in America.
I suspect a lot of people just have no idea they received a fake item.

I have a lobsters account. I don't spend much time there. I was collaborating with someone on an HN clone when I joined lobsters.

We talked a bit about some of the features on lobsters and whether or not to incorporate them into our site.

We had already added a tagging system.

The fact that you like lobsters better than HN is not some kind of objective measurement.

I'm not adequately knowledgeable to give my own list or rebut your opinion, nor am I trying to start drama. I'm genuinely curious as to how the two compare in some meaningful way, beyond your short blurb, which boils down being to your opinion.

Thanks.
I might just have bad luck, but I've bought many electronics products from Amazon, and more often than not it's unsatisfactory in some major way: obviously opened box with broken/missing items or fake.

If this hit rate is normal across electronics on Amazon I have to imagine it's just plain ignorance on the part of the customer. Because there's no way Amazon could live with a return rate > 50%, which is what I'm at right now.
Fraud is one of those issues that takes time to build momentum against.
Sadly, this was LookSmart back in 1998. It was an in-house edited directory, but I told the CEO we should build a pagerank that diffuses to unlisted sites as well.

A pretty good web directory at the time was cheap, about $12 million a year for editors, but Google had 10+ years where it did better with unsupervised algorithms, so nobody spent any time on integrating human curators.
It's off-topic but I just wanted to say that I love that their entire screen header simply states an easy-to-read definition of postmarketOS because I literally read the headline and said "Just what is postmarketOS? I see it come up from time to time."

I don't know all the myths, but to me it appears that heroes before Holmes were praised for bravery, physicality, devotion to country/god, or another dimension. I'd love to know of any that were truly cerebral heroes -- maybe Loki is the closest, although at chaotic neutral it's a stretch to consider him a hero.

(Also mostly familiar with Western myths. Odysseus was praised for his cleverness, which is a kissing cousin... but it was his cleverness in war, which makes it more of a 3rd cousin IMO.)

I’m glad people agree with me though. Though I f that were the case wouldn’t there be an enormous push back against stuff like this in most circumstances? I know hacker news isn’t all web developers but it would echo a wider sentiment. Surely?
Methamphetamine, which is what I think you mean by "abuse of drugs based on over the counter pseudoephedrine", does not get the same sympathy as opioids. The reason is because people aren't getting addicted to methamphetamine via the actions of trusted medical professionals. Methamphetamine is a long way from being over-the-counter, requiring a reaction with either anhydrous cryogenic ammonia or with phosphorous and iodine.

I don't believe that penalties for crack and cocaine are evidence for racial discrimination. (crack being largely black, and cocaine being largely hispanic) When a new drug appears and rapidly becomes popular with lots of resulting violence, we legislate in a panic. The resulting legislation is unlikely to be well-thought-out or consistent with anything else. In the years since then we have made adjustments, most recently in 2018 when Trump helped 2,600 people imprisoned for crack by signing the First Step Act.

In any case, people of all races have a very simple and reliable way to avoid getting in trouble for the non-opioid drugs. Just say no.
I think because consumers don’t usually notice/care and you can’t just walk into an Amazon store and inspect their inventory like a B&M retailer.
