If your model is that there is a fixed number of jobs, then bringing in one immigrant deprives one American of a job. The obvious consequence of this model is that if a country has a 5% unemployment rate, then it should simply expel 5% of its population, and suddenly the number of people will perfectly match the number of jobs.

Of course, that's not how things work. It's not true that adding one person to the economy adds one person to the ranks of the unemployed, because adding an additional person also increases demand for goods and services, thus increasing the demand for labor.
You intend to leave the first 4 years.. Then someone applies for a green card on your behalf and you believe there's a path to permanence - and you see folks getting green cards all the time.. Then 5 years later you find out, because you were born in the wrong country, you get to wait 70 years instead of 1. But by then you have a wife, kids and a dog.
Then you kinda resign yourself to have to leaving someday but stay and make the TC you can while you can
Couldn't you just take whatever image you want to convert to a RAW file, make a really large high quality print out of it, and then take a picture of that? I would imagine that with the right lighting setup (and a really high quality printout) it would be pretty hard to tell that it is a picture of a picture.
Hi everyone!

Journyal is a travel journal app I made during my free time as both a conscript and intern. I released it back in March to the iOS App Store.

Journyal keeps track of where you go, where you stop, and what you see, helping you to automatically record your travels, be it backpacking trips, hikes, overseas travel, or even food trails. Simply press start and take photos as you would along the way, and Journyal will help you compile everything into a photo journal that you can save to document your trips. I also made a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO9DAVahvIk) back when I was still conceptualizing this as a student so people could see how it works (although the UI of the app has changed since then)!

I appreciate any and all feedback, no matter how harsh! Building and releasing my own app to the app store has been an incredible learning experience, but I 'm beginning to truly understand that building something people actually want to use is a beast in and of itself, and this is something I want to learn about.

Thank you for the kind words :)

We're interested in platforms like Fundrise but really focused on the initial sales process and proving this model with 10 units. The hope is this will make it easier to go to real estate investment platforms and other sites like it.

We have a lot of good info on appreciation in the emails we send to people who are interested in learning more about the product. As we've gone through the launch process, I think this is the thing we've fumbled most. We've been focused on the initial value prop, but the long tail is really valuable too. As we build the website and other public-facing content out, this will be something we prioritize.

We're really thankful for the Hacker News community pushing us hard on this and other points, and bearing with us as we focus on getting the messaging right :)
My understanding is that yes, you have a controller listening for CRDs which essentially stands in for the CLI/API step.

To be fair, OSBAPI is a bigger upfront effort for a service author than fiddling with kubebuilder and sorta-kinda doing some basic service-y stuff yourself. Plus CRDs are the cool thing right now and I expect they will continue to build in momentum.

Where it will come back to bite everyone is that every service will have its own Operator and its own CRDs and these will often be different in shape, behaviour and conventions than other Operators and CRDs. It'll be like the bad old days of every piece of software shipping with its own pile of bash scripts for management and twenty different process managers. You know: the sort of thing Red Hat helped to bring an end to.

After we reach the point where you're spinning up whole clusters because the PostgreSQL operator doesn't play nice with the Kafka operator on Tuesdays when the breeze is too strong, someone wise and brave and famous on twitter will yell "this is insanity! Surely we can rationalise this into a single API, a single mechanism!"

And then OSBAPI will be reinvented (but ... declarative!) while I stand at a safe distance, teeth audibly grinding down to bone.
Yeah - I've seen and worked with (very talented!) people like Brad, and I feel for them. They're good at working with this presentational stuff, but it's never been necessary to learn that when they're creating an <input> they're secretly creating an HTMLInputElement. And then one day, they're expected to learn this framework that fits so nicely with the frontend because they try to emulate that hierarchy of objects on the frontend and deal with them in code.

It would be weird to go from a DSL and realize that to move forward you have to get good at general programming. I'm not sure that I would handle that transition very well.

React is more than JSX. I don't think the author is lazy. Some relevant points from the blog,

> I’ve done a CodeAcademy class, completed Wes Bos‘s React for Beginners course, bought books, listened to podcasts, and read tutorials. Hell, I even paid someone to build a side-project app I designed in React so I could learn how it works

> I’ve written elsewhere how I’ve never had a computer science course in my life, and I call myself a frontend designer,

> Tooling and build step stuff are tough to get my head around
Hi there, thanks so much for the kind words! Actually, the video is kind of outdated because I made it a few years ago when I was still conceptualizing this app. The main gist of the app is still conveyed by the video, but since then, I've decided not to include any social features into the app, because I think that travelling is something personal that we should focus on and enjoy, and we shouldn't get caught up in the social aspect of sharing and worrying over taking that 'perfect Instagram shot'.
The problem is that anyone can pick up design and web dev and get up and running fairly quickly, but very few intro tutorials even touch accessibility or get into it. Therefore beginners easily wind up doing things like using links or divs instead of buttons because buttons look bad by default, instead of overriding button css.

And then usually you pile up thousands of kludges before someone blows a whistle and says “Hey, none of this is accessible!”, and then you look back at a mountain of inaccessible garbage you wrote and claim it’s too hard.

So long as design and webdev are learned informally, this will always be an issue. Especially because unless you yourself need the assistance of accessibility software, it’s not obvious that things are broken, because they look good.

As an aside, I also feel like this is because webdev and design are taken less seriously by the world of programming. My college offered only one course on webdev and it mostly involved teaching PHP and jQuery. So no one takes it seriously and then they half-ass learning it.
That couldn't do OCR at all, right? It had no camera. It could do handwriting recognition on stylus input (where it has full perfect stroke data, not just pixelated images of strokes), which is a very different and easier problem.
It takes 2 years and a lot of lawyers and maybe you might get it.. (it's not guaranteed at all) but if you've earned the 500k the hard way you're not very inclined to gamble it on the slim chance.
Besides.. there's better places to retire on 500k
What happened to the “more advanced than any other living animal today” species?

Based on my very limited understanding, it seems like some members of that advanced species would have diverged and eventually become Homo sapiens. But others would have remained members of that species and continued living today, or become some other advanced species that wasn’t homo sapien. Did something cause them to go extinct? Or am I understanding it wrong?
Also, even on 64 bit machines, conservative GCs often just do a naive scan of the stack. And of uninitialized values on the heap. This means that garbage may be treated as live.
Garbage often includes pointers that should no longer be live.

git commit --amend changes author time.

git commit --amend --reset-author changes both author time and commit time.

git rebase changes commit time.

All three commands can be used just before a merge and push to clean things up. So there is no guarantee that the author time or commit time we see in the final commit history accurately represents the actual time at which the work was done.
> i assume the primary use case is to speed up compilation and create smaller binary sizes?

LLVM is going to be much slower than the Go toolchain. It may produce smaller binaries, but mainly through dropping the bulk of the runtime on the floor. The main thing that LLVM does is (apparently) reduce the stack usage.

But it does support the CPUs that the author wants to target out of the box.

Great points! Your whole comment is worth reading.

PS. I had no idea Elastic open sources its internal React UI components. Interesting. (found this via your HN profile). Should I be using this if I want to provide an interface to an API that exposes an Elastic Search DB?

Wanted to chime in that I think you are conflating working in the office as being higher on the ladder than working in the warehouse. They are two different departments. The warehouse is definitely blue-collar, and the office white-collar, but that doesn't mean the warehouse workers are inferior to the office workers.

Further I checked and Stanley is a sales rep, not middle management.

I really enjoyed reading through that article series last year when I first came across it. I spent a good amount of time wondering where I fit in the hierarchy relative to my coworkers. Ended up deciding that like all models, it's useful but incomplete. Still an interesting thing to know about.

Sort of similar to learning about personality types like Myers-Briggs or Enneagram.
When few women are working, it’s attractive to some because it adds an incredible amount of disposable income. When most women are working, it becomes a necessity in order to get by (because the cost of housing, which is the single largest household expense, depends on what other households are willing to pay). It’s a ratchet that only goes in one direction.

When the upper incomes begin to see affordability issues, you have an unhealthy market. I like life with minimal use of a car. Urban areas areas are far friendlier to a car-free lifestyle. Also, homes in the surrounding suburbs aren't that much cheaper to meaningfully change the numbers. Another 5 years of savings should do it. So, 10 years to come up with just a 20% down payment. I'd rather not compromise my future by foregoing retirement contributions.

If you actually want to help, rather than chasing funding, you'd have to use common hardware.

You are not going to afford to build product's for a limited market and use a hardware device that has no (=expensive) programmers and a limited, expensive life.

This seems like the classic case of common law against civil law.
This article in German [1] and this source in Hungarian [2] demonstrate the concept with very clear charts you can likely understand without having to read the labels. The distance-time graphs show that different trains move at different speeds: faster trains have a steeper slope, slower trains have a gentler slope and more spots where they dwell for a few minutes before advancing.

You want your graph symmetric around various point-in-time axes, so that the scheduling is predictable.

On the distance-time graph, if you've upgraded a line and can run faster trains, you can plot the train with an even steeper slope in the graph. But by doing so, you may miss more of the knots where many different lines in the graph come together. These knots in the graph are moments in space and time when several trains are at the same station around the same time: the time to change trains and make connections.

The system works best when major hubs are roughly 1 hour apart, so you begin optimizing for that fact systemwide, instead of small, few-minute travel time reductions on individual lines. It may be the case that small improvements in travel time on one line don't outweigh the reduction in connection opportunities, so small improvements become harder to justify. You'd have to run certain trains much faster (and spend more money on faster tracks) to maintain the same level of connections in the network.

Hi everyone, my name is Spencer and I’m one of the co-founders of Rent the Backyard.

Rent the Backyard was founded to help homeowners who want to earn extra income from their underused backyards but don’t want to spend a ton of time or money to make it happen. Rent the Backyard provides a turnkey solution — we handle all the logistics of putting a studio apartment in your backyard — helping you earn $10-$20k per year in rental income with as little loss of privacy for you as possible.

We’re focused on the Bay Area (particularly San Jose) to start. California has passed a lot of laws in recent years that make these “accessory dwelling units” or ADU easier to build because they believe these units can help play a role in solving the affordable housing crisis. 4,300 ADU were built last year in California and we’re hoping to help more homeowners access this new type of housing without needing to borrow money and become a part-time construction manager.

We’re building this business not only to help homeowners make more money from their underutilized space but also to help communities increase their supply of housing. We want to be sensitive to the communities we serve and as we build, we’re committed to listening to stakeholders and exceeding California’s requirements when it’s the right thing to do.

Excited to answer your questions here and by email: hi@rentthebackyard.com !
This is a silly argument. You might as well say that Firefox should include an option to silently submit all your keystrokes to a designated endpoint, because after all if you have access to set that option you have access to install a keylogger.

So what if they could, in theory, work around the indicator by asking users to install some dubious live-patching executable? Firstly, the users wouldn't have to do so - the enforcement mechanism here is ultimately the MITM itself, so as long as the users just installed the certificate they could continue to access sites (they would have to make the certificate available separately, for installation on iOS / Android / ChromeOS etc). Secondly, the security implications of live-patching the executable are mostly irrelevant, because the only people installing this have already lost the security game. Thirdly, there is a benefit in making the bastards work for it - keeping that live-patcher up-to-date and working against a range of target executable versions is going to be bitter work.
I'm surprised how under reported this has been. There were basically three scenarios:

1. They knew about the malicious code in 2015 and chose to misrepresent the breach, effectively lie to customers. (note that they didn’t reset passwords in 2015, take that how you will)

2. They didn’t know about the malicious code until somewhat later, and they chose not to inform anyone.

3. They only discovered it recently and they were muddying the water as much as possible to make it look like it was part of the 2015 breach

It turns out it was somewhere between (1) and (2). They've since revealed the did know about the issue soon after that notification, but chose only to disclose it to small number of users who they believed to be effected.

> We initially believed those credentials to be the result of malware or password re-use between services and took immediate action to protect accounts. However, we later concluded the majority of credentials were from accounts that logged in to Slack during the 2015 incident.

But it turns out it effected a much wider pool of people, and they continue to misrepresent the nature of the breach and it's impact. Their communications are very carefully crafted to downplay the situation or muddy the timelines. Even the title of this piece "New Information...". The information is 4 years old, they're only coming clean now!

Slack had an adversary capturing plain text passwords in 2015 and didn't disclose this to potentially effected users. This is a massive trust issue.
They could perfectly well do it themselves.
I found the statements about PII uploaded by advertisers confusing. The authors say “PII uploaded by advertisers to target customers via custom audiences” was NOT found “being used for advertising” but the whole point of uploading PII into custom audiences is to target them for advertising.

You have to read the details later, where they uploaded 2 different pieces of PII for a customer - one already associated with a FB user, and therefore targetable. The other was brand new PII. Only the latter was not found to be targetable.

So yay - Facebook doesn’t use rainbow table lookups to extract plaintext PII from hashes that advertisers upload. Gold star for them.
