A few things to consider here. And this is all personal opinion from someone who's been working around the tech world for ~15 years. Your mileage may vary.

1) Is monetary compensation actually the most important thing to you? If the answer is yes, then optimize your career around that and always take the higher offer instead of beating yourself up over alternatives. If the answer is no, then recognize that you're going to be leaving money on the table and the balance of things that are important to you is going to outweigh money over the years.

2) I find that tech workers really often lack perspective on things like this. Talk to some friends in non-tech positions around the country and ask what they make (or go on Glassdoor and look). Chances are you make way more than they do for relatively less work, but are beating yourself up for not making even more. It's somewhat irrational if you take a step back and think about it.

3) To answer your question directly, no, there are other options. 1) ask for more money from your current employer while respectfully providing the business case for why you deserve more money. If they have the money to pay you there's a good chance they'll agree and you'll get more without having to jump ship. But recognize that many companies you might want to work for probably can't afford to pay you as much as well-funded company X trying to recruit you. Another option is to pursue additional income outside of your primary job as many people on this site do. A third option is to start your own business and take the risk of tying your compensation directly to the company's performance.

4) It's important to recognize that there is almost always a trade-off between money and doing things that are actually enjoyable. Park rangers and zoo keepers make shit for money, but generally love what they do. Finance guys making millions of dollars a year are often completely miserable. See point #1 above.

As an anecdote, I've turned down "more money" options several times over the years and it's almost always turned out to be a good decision because the other junk that would have come with the money would have been awful. Meanwhile, several friends who hopped on the money treadmill are so hopped up on antidepressants and therapy sessions it's a wonder they're functional.
One of Superhuman's founders previously started a company named Airseed. To users the service looked like an assistant that accessed your email account to keep track of your travel, purchases, etc., but the actual business was selling that data to third parties (presumably aggregated). I don't think Airseed ended up panning out but I wonder what he brought from that business to Superhuman.
Especially when it comes to an engineering textbook. While my university's selected electrical engineering books were all sub-$500 (usually in the $300 range), most of the "core" civil engineering books were at or over $1,000. Just insane for anyone who was not on scholarship. (And this was 20 years ago!)
They do use Google Analytics on their websites but they do have a contract with Google that explicitly states that Google cannot use any of that data for tracking ever for any reason at all. Would make Mozilla rich if Google violated that.

Incredible.
Perhaps, but can Indian expats also send money to India via this gateway? Can you use it to order something online from another country? What about the relative weakness of the Rupee vs a mix of reserve currencies?

Libra still makes sense as an "international" currency, even if it doesn't make sense nationally.
“Google’s ... has a dark side” is valid for almost everything they do.
Can they please provide a way to close all tabs instead of always having at least a blank one open. I'm probably just OCD on this but it's the most annoying thing I found about Firefox on Android compared to Chrome when I start using it.
There are no hypersonic antiship cruise missiles deployed today. Some ballistic missiles have limited antiship capability and they do travel at hypersonic speeds but there are reasonably effective defenses against them now.

Did you read the article? One of the big issues that some cities are facing is finding real-estate for installing charging stations of sufficient capacity. It specifically cites Philadelphia as having run into this problem.
> The tech exists, but isn't in wide usage.

The buses in Lausanne when I lived there were on overhead electric when in the city center and switched back to diesel when they came off the wires. The same was true in a number of other Swiss cities. So I would hardly call it "not in wide use." Just not in the USA.
You know Project Veritas is a load of shit right?
yeah, I think that simulation is the closest word that we have right now for describing it, like many other times a word tend to be overused to describe multiples related things, till a new word is invented
You took the high road and subtly left out the level of terror that should inspire. Kudos.
DRM isn't the answer. It's always been trivial to break DRM on e-books, and I wouldn't be surprised if DRM actually increases pirating. Why buy something that restricts your ability to use it and is inconvenient when you can pirate a version that doesn't do that?

> How do I work at a Silicon Valley startup that wants to hire me, if I'm an EU citizen with no degree and 5 years of work experience?

It'll be tough for sure. And depends on what the startup is prepared to do. Have you spoken to an immigration attorney? https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=proberts does AMAs on here regularly and it might be worth contacting his firm for advice (also take a look through his AMAs).

Things I've seen work:

- Work remote, visit SV regularly for work. To be frank, I think that can be the best of both worlds. But YMMV.

- If you work for an overseas subsidiary for over a year, you can try for L-1 to transfer to the US. Generally the "startup" needs to be big (big) for this to be practical. You don't outright need a degree, but 5-years experience is probably on the lower end. If SV is your dream, it might be a case of finding a bigco startup that is prepared to do this. A stepping stone might be working for one of them in the EU first (e.g. Dublin in particular has plenty of satellite offices for SV companies).

- There are other options like the O-1 and H1-B, but these are extremely competitive. Again, immigration lawyer would have a better idea.

In all cases I'd probably give Peter a try first.
Hello! I'm wondering if you came across our suite of libraries and tools for doing Genomics on Spark?

We've fallen off the first Google hit the past few years but are still quite relevant (e.g. Databricks' commercial offering uses ADAM under the hood). Drop in our Gitter some time!

It's unfair? Sounds like a dream come true to me, I'd love for my work to have such incredible reach. Is your friend starving, or living on the street or something?
I'm not sure if it is specifically Electron, but it does have Chrome Dev Tools in it.
Ask HN: Sleep Tracker Recommendations?
Getting an accurate time of when I went to bed is pretty hard. Are fitbits and Apple watches good enough to have a good estimate for:

when you started sleeping (not when you went to bed),

how long you slept for and

when you woke up (also in the middle of the night)?

I don't care about sleep stages.

Did anyone do research into this?

I was also thinking of migrating the backend to GraphQL ...
But then it doesnt have an option to store images and auth still requires another server ...

Hasura GraphQl seemed like a good option ... because they also used PostgreSQL ...

What are your thoughts about migrating to graphql ...
If you set a master password for saved logins in Firefox then passwords won't be available with a simple click, and they will be encrypted on disk.

In browsers that use the OS' password storage then they will normally be stored in encrypted form, although the browser integration is seamless so you won't notice the difference.

In both cases, there is a significant security advantage in cases where the data on disk is leaked (say, if someone steals your computer and you don't have full-disk encryption.

You’re projecting Ben.
Most of the fans so far seem to be VCs.

It's very clever for Superhuman to target that group. They're wealthy, influential, and will come in handy when its time to raise.

Outside of the VC segment, seems like most first-hand accounts I've read -- startup CEOs and journalists -- report that they've ended the subscription because the $30/mo. fee wasn't worth it, given the number of free alternatives.

This makes me wonder: does Superhuman have a target demographic outside of the ultra-rich?
Yet, I can't visit websites because I don't want be tracked. What's worse is this stupid thing even shows up on government, university websites ect...
Wait what. They bought 6 of them before doing a test ride???
Mozilla should do a deal with Huawei now when the trade war is raging. Hard Chinese money, desperate for a high quality Chrome alternative browser, might be better than wishing Google keeps paying for the default search engine spot.

Maybe that's because these sob stories were already accounted for by the _original_ copyright length of 28 years? The vast majority of DRM is protecting some corporation's right to profit off of the work of content creators almost indefinitely.

The British Library would like to have a word with you:

And we're paying for it now, because they're too sparse for the tax base to support urban services and too dense to have self sufficient services like deeply rural areas.
I considered doing something like this in the past with crypto and arrived to the conclusion that to do it right I would need critical mass and my very own exchange. Before critical mass, the fees would still have to be higher if you want to make the system self-sustainable. If you don't mind investing your own money upfront then you could start with the low fees hoping that critical mass will be reached before you run out of the money subsidizing the operation.

Definitely sounds like something that VC money could be used for given how ride-share companies low prices are just subsidies from VC money with the hopes that they'll reach profitability in the future with a dominant market share.
I would be interested in a version of this extension that shows me the HN comments of the page I am on, if it has previously been posted.

reCAPTCHA is often used at sign-up time. Unless I'm paying a parking ticket or something, if I can't get through your sign up process in a few seconds, then you've already lost my interest.

There are so many SAAS products now, and it doesn't take much to lose out on potential users. It doesn't really impact my life much because, as you said, I probably don't have much investment in it in the first place.
Thanks a lot! I did talk with lawyers but somehow adam already helped me via Twitter DMs a lot more :D

Remote work with visits is a great option in the meantime. L-1 I'm not too comfortable with as I'd be entirely tied to that company. O-1 seems like the easiest path, I'll try to find a book deal to start out with.
How (and why) to roll your own frameworks in consulting engagements
Anybody who uses VISA or PayPal but then wouldn't use Libra because of "privacy concerns" probably doesn't realize how invasive these other companies are.

Libra will not require a Facebook account and will supposedly not be tied to a Facebook account, so the danger should be about the same.

Doing so at traffic light is probably better place.
GitHub is always at your disposal. NV doesn’t sell the consumer cards to enterprises. So on AWS a multi-GPU box will cost you about 12 dollars an hour. If you can disambiguate, let’s just say 85% of profiles absent IP or cookies, well I think you just broke the academic SOTA and I’d love to make some calls.

Cheat sheet: you can’t.
I think we very much ignore the massive negative impact noise makes on our society. ICE vehicles create lots of noise that is massively disrupting our sleep in cities. Quieter cities should have a good increase in health as our citizens sleep more soundly.
I use Brave on mobile (also has built in ad blocker). Is this version of Firefox for Android on par with Brave regarding ad blocking?
I was asking somewhat rhetorically but am glad to see that there’s some serious efforts going into weak supervision. At the risk of goalpost moving, I am curious who besides those in the Bay Area at the cutting edge are working on this pervasive problem? My more substantive point is that given the massive data quality problem among the ML community I would expect these researchers to be superhero class but why aren’t they?
I don't know how they got that data and how many shortcuts they had to take, but getting this to run smoothly (with load times) on a mobile device is already a serious feat of engineering. It does make the population densities very obvious, when you compare france to India for example.
I don't mean to suggest that power generation modernization isn't important but... it's pretty beside the point, investing in diesel buses is locking that usage in for a great many years while an electric bus may be eventually powered by coal initially then transitioned over to an alternative energy source.

Existing conventional munitions are absolutely used against surface and air targets.
Of course there are no physical restrictions with books, but legal restrictions can be created at any time.

Just imagine physical books suddenly having EULA-like first pages that would forbid you from loaning them out. In fact, this has been tried before: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/2059/why-were-books-...
Today libraries would be decried as socialist, when in fact they are a public good. The idea of a public good is malleable, so perhaps the way for left leaning policy makers to advance certain types of legislation is through re-branding as a public good.
Thats different kind of discussions than debates. Of course you should share links that delight. I am talking about arguments not sharing a graph or a specific piece of data. I am referring to when the argument is the link, not when the link offers facts :)
I feel like my mental model of email is good, I understand well how it works and is basically never surprising. So I'm not really looking to upend all that.

Besides that, for people who spend literally hours in their inbox every day, I can imagine wanting a tool to help. But I definitely don't spend hours in there.
A Fashion Photographer Who Duped Drug Lords and the DEA
Yes, it's inflated. Looking up a selection of my engineering textbooks from junior and senior year at my alma mater, where I remember new list prices of $150-200 and used prices of $100-150 per course in books they now add up to a typical $250 list new.

However, there are a lot of ebook options now for $50-100 per course. Books that can stop working, as crazy as the linked tweet thread acknowledges. Books that will not be available on my bookshelf if I want to keep them for reference in the future.

And there's still piracy. I expect the ebooks will make this more and not less popular; a lot of pirated textbooks were...allegedly....low-quality scans when I was in college.
If the original poster had managed to somehow record their original childhood playthrough and get the recording through to the present day with sufficient quality to convince the speedrun.com moderators to accept it, they'd actually only be able to claim spot 12 on the leaderboard out of 14. You need to look at the in-game time column, not real time.

25 minutes is a decently skillful playthrough, don't get me wrong, but it's not surprising that someone on here would have completed it in that time when you think about how many people would've played it back in the day and how few are speedrunning it now.
the only reason they exist now is because they're grandfathered in. We could have the exact same thing, just digitally, but due to copyright that will never happen.

The state I'm from has its libraries funded by the county (not sure if that's true elsewhere in the US). the more people in a county, the greater property tax base, and thus the greater (potential) for public library funding. So theoretically there's no reason they can't cut or reduce their physical presence and publish their entire library online. Except instead of knowledge, it's now "content", and instead of readers, its now "consumers". Everything is a "market" that needs to be "captured" and libraries are a threat to this corporate model. From a purely informational standpoint, pages-bound-with-glue are just low-tech forms of hardware dongles.
Of course some crimes are committed by soldiers who are actively disobeying orders. An autonomous weapon is not going to feel any of the emotions that lead soldiers to do terrible things.
I am a Superhuman user and really enjoy using it.

Having tried and used almost all email clients that have been around, the best thing about Superhuman, until now, was that it made money by charging me a monthly fee, so I knew they can stay alive and continue without being sold to a bigger company and killed like many others before them.

Taking money from a VC is a bad sign for me. Call me old fashioned, but I would like to pay for what I use so they can build a business that lasts. VCs change the trajectory of businesses and usually what it means is getting bought by someone like Google and then being killed 18 months after that, leaving me holding the can.

How do you mean? I wasn't aware the assistant really did anything with Chrome. Certainly it renders some search results using the android webview. But otherwise, it launches any pages you click in whatever browser you want. Inside of Chrome, what assistant features are there? The voice recognition is part of the keyboard so all apps have that. Genuinely not sure what you're referring to.
I have done that more than once. I often end up with a solution that works on the test set but which breaks after 10 TB just because <" "@example.com> is a valid email address according RFC-822 (Who the f* thought it was a good idea to allow spaces in email addresses?). Or some other exception that was not part of the test set, and that was not identified before starting.

Dealing with exceptions is extremely error prone if these exceptions are not mapped beforehand. Thus it can be very costly.

Similarly doing stuff in parallel is extremely error prone due to race conditions: What does not happen when running on your 1 GB test set, may very well happen when running on your 25 TB production data.
There's an active Apache Incubator group on annotation: https://annotator.apache.org/

It's focused on several related specs, like making timestamped copies of pages (like archive.org), selecting ranges in pages, making selections that are resilient to page changes, and maybe more I'm not aware of.

They have a GitHub repo that has some other work as well: https://github.com/apache/incubator-annotator/

I don't have insight to the testing process, but ya, I assume they drove one around before buying 6 of them...

It's like the difference between using the trial period for some new SaaS product, vs. actually buying it and putting it into limited production - you'll find all sorts of things you didn't run into before.

You must also consider the scale they operate at - buying 6 for testing probably isn't too big of a deal if they don't work out long term.
I wonder if you could get away with charging most of the buses by having overhead lines in heavy bus traffic areas to power and charge the buses during a portion of the route before having them return to full battery usage. This might also simplify overhead line deployment as there are some areas that are poorly suited for lines - line deployment could be focused on easy to service and deploy areas.

If you've not been to Bebelplatz in Berlin to see Micha Ullman's sunken library installation[0], do try and get there.

It's one of the most upsetting art installations I've ever seen, but it absolutely should be on everyone's list.

All true. Debian and Debian-derived distributions invariably manage their Debian build rules separately from upstream. In that sense there's little difference between RPM and Debian.

However, if as a developer you want to include packaging support inside the project (for your own or your users' convenience), this is infinitely easier to accomplish with Debian than RPM packages. Various aspects of RPM--e.g. spec file template semantics, source and build directory locations--not only assume that packaging is done separately, but make violating those assumptions costly. Whereas Debian package build tools rarely make such assumptions.

If I want to add "deb" and "rpm" targets to my Makefile, the deb target is a one-liner that directly invokes a dpkg tool using standard options. Whereas the rpm target may require generating a specfile (because some specfile variables aren't trivial to dynamically evaluate inline, if at all) and source tarball, or to go through additional contrivances to avoid either of those two things.
Would you mind publishing it? I'm in the same situation
I think accepting the case and establishing precedence that is it not the role of the court to solve this problem is better than letting it fester.

California was gerrymandered to the extreme and it took two ballots directly to the people to move to an independent commission, the last only in 2010. Both were opposed by lawmakers, so it’ll be slow going state by state.
