Well labour prices (for whatever the industry is) is driven by market forces. The Salary / Rate has to match the market expectations.

If the market rate is artificially inflated (minimum hourly wage) then companies will find a way to automate those jobs away. I am sure people will say that this would have happened anyway with certain unskilled labour jobs but you could argue that this only further incentivises them.

I would argue that the UK fast food chains and supermarkets are a good case study to illustrate this. In the UK most of the cashier staff are slowly being removed. Now they normally have 6 - 10 checkouts that are automated and have the customer scan their own items. Tesco (that where I normally go) instead of having 10 checkout staff you can buy 10 machines that are managed by one or two people at most. All the machines in the major supermarkets are using the same vendor for their machines and the software appears to the same for each supermarket but skinned, with the only exception being the german supermarkets.

Similarly at the other end of the scale in the UK. A C# .NET + MVC + JS with some SQL Server experience contract rate is about £350-400 a day. In London because developers expect higher rates (and the higher cost of living pushed the rate up by about £100-200 a day.
Just because an EULA is well written, doesn't mean that more than %0.1 of their customers will still read it. If they put this document inside their EULA, nobody will still read it, and I would argue it's more hidden than a EULA because you have to think about looking it up on the internet. If people look it up, they will do it after their watch breaks, and by then it's too late.

They also don't disclose that they have water damage carve outs, which shows they know their water resistance wears out quickly enough that they need the carve out for financial reasons.

"Swim proof" the watch is not. Apple's advertising, whats in the box & paper manual, what copy is shown on the store, and what text that shows up on the watch when you set it up does not warn of any of this.

Also go ask a cross section of the population what water resistant to 50 meters means and they probably will give you the more common understanding of waterproof.
You should probably not fly any 737, then, because it's had just as many bad, bad design flaws that killed people. Oh, and it's also the most successful commercial aircraft in history.

Yes anyone can post links/facts assuming they have an account with at least one credit.

When you submit a story you can specify an initial seed source which will be summarized using the gensim summarization module and used to prepopulate the facts section. If gensim isn't able to generate a summary then we just use the headline of the linked article as the first fact.

After that, facts can be added manually by adding some text (max 160 chars) with an accompanied source URL.

> Do you agree with my belief that it is significantly less likely the borrow checker would've been invented if programming-languages researchers hadn't paid a lot of attention to linear and affine types?

As I mentioned in another comment, the concept of borrowing was already present in the earliest applications of linear types to programming languages. There was contemporaneous research into region systems for ML. Later languages like Vault and Cyclone combined these two ideas, using substructural types to manage regions.

From a language feature perspective, the biggest innovation of Rust was integrating the ideas from Cyclone and other research languages with the emerging C++11 style of programming with implicit destructors, move semantics, and smart pointers.
I will distill your post to: most user builds are bad balanced to begin with and they wont see a difference and would had a better price / more cores. Valid point, i agree with it. Still could be argued about a need for a better memory for Ryzen. This equalizes total build cost and you need to be informed about this platform trait beforehand, which will results in even worse average build balance. Imagine prebuilt PCs from wallmart with 2400 leftovers.

But my point is more about advanced user builds and press benchmarks.

[0] - 2400 cl16. It's much worse than 3600 cl16, used in referenced Ryzen 3000 test. It would be interesting to see how Ryzen would perform with it. May be zen2 comparison with 2400 vs 3400 (3600 is very rarely achievable there as IMC trait of the platform) would be a good illustration.

[1] - 3200 C16. But it performs way bellow expectations. Modern Intel chip should have ~55ns with it. With 3600 cl16 intel will have ~40ns.
Well, if only that energy some people spend shaming their peers into limiting their lifestyle and forgoing the idea of raising kids was actually spent on legislative framework dealing with the actual biggest polluters, we would be living in a much more enjoyable world.
That's a great analysis
The benefit to rural areas comes from Low-band FDD. It will come maybe a year later because current 5G chipsets don't support low-band FDD spectrum yet. Low-band FDD 5G is cheaper to deploy and more energy efficient and yet provides more bandwith than existing 4G. 5G home modems will become very popular in rural areas.

Besides, roughly 80 percent of Americans live in urban areas. Why should 5G deployment wait for the rest.
The fact that there are only O(10^3) satellites in geostationary orbit is (I believe) mostly a limitation of ground antenna pointing accuracy than collision risk. There are many, many miles between each satellite along the arc.

Not knowing the details around this, but if they haven't done so, Github could add something to indicate whether particular commits were signed by the PGP key Github knows to belong to the user the commit claims it was authored by. A user could have a setting to enable Github warnings where there are commits supposedly authored by user but not signed. They could also always warn where there are commits authored by a user but signed by a key the user didn't inform Github of.

Likewise, I wonder if git differentiates signatures where the keys are set as trusted in gnupg, and those that are not.
That’s what I imagined, and what I get with Cygwin gcc, the result is 1. I thought that the post-increment was supposed to always only happen after the “statement”, but I was wrong. Other compilers, like gcc on Ubuntu return 2.

In my personal opinion we should always answer, because (scientific) curiosity trumps all reasons not to. However, we should carefully analyze the message before replying and be careful about what we say.

As a hobby sci-fi author with a long-term interest in the topic, I'd like to point out one thing in the debate that is often forgotten. When it comes to aliens and their motivations, all bets are off. Even if the aliens were capable of FTL traveling, this does not indicate that they are far more advanced than us, that they are probably benevolent, that they would consider us inferior, or anything like that. They could be like us. They could be totally different. They could be more intelligent than us, but they could also be more stupid than us. Technological advances are unpredictable and on the cosmic scale occur in a ridiculously short time span. So they might just be a hundred years advanced in comparison to us, for example, and judging from our own development this does not indicate any major advance in society or biological evolution.

Unfortunately, that also means that seemingly highly advanced aliens might seek out to destroy all other life in the galaxy for religious reasons, for instance. Or they might want to do the opposite. We don't know. Therefore, unless there were specific reasons to distrust them, we should reply, just as we tend to reply phone calls from unknown numbers.

So if my ancestors building America means nothing to you then why do you say I should care if we start selling it off in part or in full? Our rulers are importing a new voter base so politicians can continue to target legacy Americans for tax extraction, businesen can suppress our wages while raising the cost of schooling and housing, without giving nearly as much back.
Ask HN: How do you manage to break into non web dev fields?
I've been daydreaming recently about escaping the web / app development field as it just isn't appealing to me. I've been interested in other subfields for years, but it seems that web development is the only real accessible field for people without a formal education. Recently, I've been looking at various things like FPGA development, etc., and I understand if I wanted to get into, I pretty much have to go back for at least a bachelors and likely a masters, but I don't understand is how you actually land a job.

Doing application development was easy. There are a number of entry level or junior web / mobile / etc app development jobs, and I was even able to help make up for some things with th fact that I had done freelance / hobbyist work for a couple years.

But I look at jobs in more niche fields and I see very few entry level jobs, most wanting experience with the relate tech. There isn't really going to be a freelance market for a lot of this stuff nor really an accessibility for hobbyists (or if there is, it seems that you aren't going to get the same type of exposure as working with said tech professionally)

Is it all about connections? Do you have to know numerous people in these fields before you can even consider working in them? I'm a bit lost as of right now as to how to escape spending the next x decades doing something I'm not very enthusiastic about.
But Zen 2 has HUGE L3 cache. I think that this cache would compensate for that latency.
I would love to have higher bandwidth as would most IT related professionals. Thats been true since the days of analog modems.
The longer they spent since last HL2 episode the more DNF the case became, and after few years it was certainly better to not make HL3 because it would fail horribly.

I've started learning Pony recently and I definitely recommend checking it out.

Pros:

- Checked exceptions are pretty awesome

- Built in object capability system means you are forced to be explicit about granting access to files, sockets, etc

- Supports both structural and nominal subtyping

- Generates very fast code as far as I can tell (it uses LLVM on the backend)

- Actor model combined with reference capabilities means you don't have to worry about a huge class of concurrency bugs that the type system just rules out.

- Very good C FFI support so if something isn't available you can easily create C bindings

- Very helpful community on Zulip. You are pretty much guaranteed someone will give you a high quality answer to any of your questions.

Cons:

- Steep learning curve for reference capabilities

- It can be tricky to find the right stdlib functions/types for what you want to do. It wasn't clear to me at first how some things worked, e.g. the relationship between Array and Iter. This is no fault of the API design, just a lack of tutorials on some things.

- Missing a lot of things you might expect to find in other languages like all kinds of built in libraries to do HTTP stuff, etc.
It's really not. If you spent 10 minutes on HN Algolia and looked through all threads that reference China in the title (e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=china&sort=byPopularity&prefix...), and then visited the comment section of any thread that had no relation to USA (e.g. "WeChat is Watching: Living in China with the app that knows everything about me", "Report on forced organ harvesting in China", etc.) then you'll always find Chinese nationalists/shills resorting to US whataboutism.. You can try to do the same with any other country, and you won't see this trend.

It's also very common for threads that are negative towards China to quickly disappear from the frontpage for no reason despite just recently appearing, or even being at the first position. An example from a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20336543. I really don't understand how you can deny this.
5G doesn't solve a bandwidth problem, it solves a latency problem. 4G has a latency of ~50ms, 5G is more like 1ms. 50ms is noticeable in areas like remote robot control, video conferencing, remote surgery etc.
Those memes could be reduced by an equally conscious awareness of the value of the other parts of life. Health relies on good sleep, good diet, good social interactions, etc. work often hinders those.
The US saying "we don't need it" is basically signing away hundreds of billions of dollars of economic value and wealth transfer.

The U.S. isn't saying "we don't need it." The U.S. is saying, "We're a massively large country with a lot of currently underserved areas. How about we concentrate on finishing the 2G, 3G, and 4G rollouts; and we'll do 5G when and where it makes sense?"

The United States isn't Luxembourg. We're not going to cover entire nation with a few dozen base stations. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of stations.

Plus, how far "behind" can any country be since the first large scale deployment (according to Wikipedia) was only three months ago?

> you'll always find Chinese nationalists/shills resorting to US whataboutism

You've broken the site guidelines again with this. That's not cool. I'm not sure what to do besides repeat the explanation and links I just gave you.

> You can try to do the same with any other country, and you won't see this trend

Of course. That's the geopolitical battle of the moment. It was the same with Russia a year ago. All this shows is what controversy is hot right now.

> It's also very common for threads that are negative towards China to quickly disappear from the frontpage

Moderators routinely downweight hot controversies and political battles, as well as articles that repeat what has already been discussed recently. If we didn't, the front page would consist of nothing but that. Your mistake is in jumping to the conclusion that this has anything to do with our own political views or some secret bias about China. It does not. Our job is to protect HN from (a) mind-numbing repetition, and (b) earth-scorching flamewars. Why? Because those things kill intellectual curiosity, which is the point of this site. Everything we do as mods follows from that principle.

By the way, that last bit can be inverted to get a reliable test for moderator action on HN. If moderators do X, can you find a path from the principle of intellectual curiosity to X? If so, that's probably why we did it. If not, you can always ask us what the path is. We're happy to answer questions, but (again) as the guidelines say, it's better to send them to hn@ycombinator.com.
My tip. Plan less. I used to be in the same situation and I would meticulously plan out each day and fit all the things I wanted to do in neat little boxes in the calendar.

THe problem was that going through that neatly planned schedule took the fun out of all of it. I wasn’t enjoying the things that I had planned, even though they where things that I wanted to do. I was just going through the motions, checking things
off.

Today. I try to keep a clear schedule, I don’t try to think of all the things I want to do. I don’t plan too much. Instead I just do the things that I want to do whenever they occur to me.

Keeping a clear schedule makes it more likely that I will actually have the time to do those things.

I don't that is neccesarily a zero-sum mentality. It's an observation on how policy and the economy as a whole did NOT benefit the poorer class as much as it did the rich class. The rich making more money should not translate to the poor making less money but increase in economic quality of life should more proportional between rich and poor.

The rich making a trillion dollars does not translate into the poor losing a trillion dollars (zero sum). But the wealth of the rich increasing by 300% and the wealth of the poor remaining the same indicates the economic policies and conditions are not benefiting the poor as much as they benefit the rich.

Often,the argument is that policies are not fairly applied to allow the poor to maintain an increasingly better economic living conditions.

I'm thinking of a structure similar to https://reactjs.org/blog/2015/12/18/react-components-element...

There may be some limitations and some things may need to be done differently because of C++, but from a brief look it should be basically possible. The UI library doesn't need to iterate through props, those can be a single opaque structure from its point of view.

I tried doing something similar in Kotlin a few years back and from what I remember there wasn't any reflection used for that part. https://github.com/peterholak/mogul

4G can too, but it's a very niche option and will remain so with 5G and beyond until mobile operators stop thinking of themselves as mobile operators.
Why do these things have to be on YouTube specifically? PeerTube exists.
Well, I care, my friends care, it's something that many, many, many people care. Literally all of my friends that went to 5G (about ~20 or so?̊̈) all moved partially because of Youtube. (I and my friends hate to see any video in Youtube in 720p or lower.)

There are a lot of people unlike you, and please don't assume that they all have the same patience that you can give to Youtube.
You could pretend with a flag and treat yearly taxes as a bribe to protect yourself against a foreign power. I guess you would have to pick a EU country and get them on board. Easier to make your own and try to get EU membership. You would need to sign a treaty for it to be real.
Your comment is accurate, but I would add some extra clarifications, since we run very much like a start-up, you can imagine things have changed a little over the three years!

True, you can use the Nexus 9000 switches to generate flow telemetry, however, neither are they the recommended or most popular data gathering point, that would be the software agent which has no hardware dependency.

This interestingly links to other discussions in the thread re: keeping the run-rate business strong while growing an innovative business in parallel. In Cisco, everything pays tribute to the switch, but that does not mean we are dictated by it ;) - a reasonable compromise to foster innovation.

Also true, you can buy Tetration in a physical appliance format (many customers want this for their reasons), but the majority of customers actually go for the Tetration-as-a-Service option which has no hardware dependency.

Agent based is always an interesting topic. For us, it is about getting as close as possible to the application we are to protect, and being agent based is about as close as you can go before getting into the code path, in a cross-platform, cross-infrastructure way. What this allows us to do is apply proper security controls like zero-trust that we take for granted in newer environments (like Kubernetes, which also often uses agents, they just named them sidecars) to legacy environments, where the bulk of today’s business applications still run.

+ Yes, Elastic is part of our stack, alongside a lot of other interesting technology. We process millions of events per second from all sorts of sources, like campus user logons, process executions, and new flows all in short order, detect how we should mutate the state of the "data centre" security based on the new information, then take actions like dynamically updating ACLs across tens of thousands of workloads to allow a new administrator SSH access since they logged onto a desktop in the London branch, while at the same time updating rules on the shared databases due to an application that just failed over to the secondary DC in Ashburn. I could talk on this topic for a long time as I find it highly interesting, but I'll hold on for another post.
Commercial failure, perhaps. I'd suggest not delivering Half Life 3 (or even HL2: Episode 3) is their biggest failing. All the resources in the world, and they're happy resting on their laurels. It's such a shame.
