My experience is exactly the opposite. In the market I've prospected (France) the applicants have leverage because there is more positions than candidates. Even if there is a lot of candidates, there is a lot more positions. There is even more discrepancies beetween available positions and qualified candidates.

Even if there was not, once a company has eliminated 99% of the candidates and put their mind to hiring you there is a good chance you have a little leverage at negotiating your salary.

I don't think the author work the same jobs than I do.

Ironically, living in Germany makes me scared that I won't be able to pay for a therapy by someone like Dr. Nagourney as our governmental health insurance providers are very eccentric when it comes to paying for treatments.

That combined with my high tax-rate and only slightly above average salary means I won't be able to save enough money to afford it to send a loved one to him when it becomes necessary. That is crazy scary to me.

A programmer from close to my area had to publicly raise funds (~350k iirc) to send his 2 year old son to the US for a surgery that saved his life, but which no hospital in Germany dared to perform.[1]

Agreed.

Similarly, perhaps its oversaturated in London, but other UK cities don't have this problem.

What did you just call me?!
So, you made me realise I'd been ambiguous here, sorry.

I'll have to name companies to explain: Uber have undermined workers' rights in a systematic way, through the development of their concept of contract employees and the gig economy.

I have heard plenty of stories about SpaceX (not Tesla, but I'll assume similar stories exist) not treating their employees well. So yes, they've hurt workers rights too, so I accept your point. It's different kind of issue though, because it's particular to one company and not systemic, which is what I originally meant to say.

Disagree strongly about the climate change/greenwashing argument. I believe Tesla is a net positive in tackling climate change, which is what matters.
What is the point of this comment ? Humans doing anything cause preventable deaths.

That has nothing to do with whether or not a new, potentially life threatening technology should be on the market.

> because the market is oversaturated

lol but no. In London, anyway, the market has a tiny number of devs, and mid-level NodeJS devs are asking for £100,000, which is definitely a sign of the apocalypse.
That's a valid criticism, but I still think it's the best analysis with the available data.

FWIW, and this is completely anecdotal, I find Tesla drivers to be the most obnoxious on the road - which would lend credence to your argument that it attracts a certain kind of person and is not the car itself. That's ignoring the entire Autopilot X factor though, which is a whole separate conversation with even more missing data.

Live-in housekeeping is around £50k a year for a couple - not bad for living rent-free on a nice estate - although I used to know someone who provided house-keeping for much less in return for not having to pay for rent and food. So cheaper options are possible.

Gardening is maybe £25-30k/yr, unless the estate is absolutely huge.

Heating will cost a lot in the UK. So will maintenance, especially if there's significant land involved. Roads, fences, walls, drains, sewers, and so on are all more expensive than most people realise, and large estates are usually listed, so there are expensive restrictions and maintenance obligations.

But I'm not quite seeing how that would add to up £500k for a £1.5m estate - which would be fairly small, even with the way prices were back then. I'd have expected something closer to £100k to £200k.
I love lifting for exactly this reason. It's meditative.

I agree it seems likely that other car companies are against Tesla.

But why are geeks against Tesla? Why is there so much hate for them on Hacker News on Twitter, from tech people working for big tech companies? That's my question.

Really depends on the kind of "streetwear". Bespoke jeans, leather jackets, tees and boots will be easy to come by.

Anything more "exotic" will depend on the specific garment. Lots of adventurous tailors around there, but some items are just fundamentally better suited for mass production.

I don't think you'll need six figure spends unless you want something particularly difficult to make. Everything weird is going to be expensive though, developing a whole new pattern takes a while.

vnapersona bespoke by Maurizio Altieri looks fascinating, I'm not sure how attainable it is though.

Really? Because the Tesla fanboys consider Tesla a tech company. OTA updates amirite?
Yes it’s great to start at the gym and get used to that environment. But yes form is very important and you should not progress in weight if all your reps are not 100% ok.

Anecdotal evidence suggests to me that European spruce stores more CO2 than it sheds way over 80 years old as a spruce grows in mass significantly decades after reaching that age.

I think the question doesn't make sense, because if you take it further something interesting appears. If you do have tiny solid magnets in a liquid, why don't they rotate and cancel out?

They clearly cannot do so because macro sample would lose its properties. It simply cannot be tiny magnets suspended in a liquid. You gotta provide finer definition of a liquid because it typically does not have a structure. In your example there are constraints to movement and position of tiny magnets.
Biggest stand out in this article is the stats about declining free time for play - as has been said quite a few times on HN, humans need to be bored and to play in order to be creative. Stagnation awaits otherwise I fear.
I mean, the current state of science isn't that far from your description either.

Instead of "shut up it's magic" we have "shut up it's quantum physics", the experts in the field are the first ones to admit that they don't understand what they're doing/finding. "See that thing here, that's black matter", 10 years later: "Well actually that's some dark matter mixed with black matter, what is black matter your ask ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯".

Science is too busy describing and analyzing every minute details that it doesn't offer anything useable in the real world / daily life (on a personal level), that's where beliefs/philosophy intervene imho.

It sounds like you've taken the aphorism to be all-encompassing.

I didn't mean "pursue meaning and forget happiness", rather that it is better to weight your goals in life to the former, as it is more sustainable.

In general I think aphorisms are rules of thumb. All such observations require careful interpretation/application to enact them usefully.
Not sure where this is supposed to be. Definitely not my experience in western europe (Ireland, Spain and Germany). Companies are _desperate_ to find competent developers, markets like Dublin or Berlin are complete saturated with demand and little offer. Companies are now embracing remote developers out of desperation, the talent pools are depleted. It's definitely a GREAT time to be a developer and if you're decent you have leverage. Tons of leverage.
Not a generator, but maybe inspiring nonetheless:

The part that doesn't make sense to me is how people find this hard to understand. It's purely supply and demand. Game developers are willing to work for less than their peers in other industries, and game companies will do everything they can do minimise input costs, as all companies do.

You don't need a conspiracy to explain this effect.
I am sure that is the goal, on some level. But it is not good at that goal.
gizmodo.com.au still shows "You Might Want To Uninstall VLC. Right Now. Immediately." in their title. This highlights the untrustworthiness of most "news" today, be it software, politics or business related. It's unbelievable how poorly researched articles can damage people and businesses alike. I think is this is one of the biggest pain points of today's world, and it needs solving fast.
"The shoe, which is being unveiled today, has been designed as a trainer that's intended to help runners recover faster from their runs and at the same time try to minimise the impact caused by a person's feet slamming into the ground thousands of times during a run. It’s claimed to be Nike’s most cushioned shoe."

I'm sorry, but if your feet are slamming into the ground during a run, you are running wrong.

All this shoe will do is make even more people running incorrectly, and suffering injuries because of that later in life. (Oh, and it will also transfer money from suckers' wallets to Nike's coffers.)
I had thought about buying some consols for my ISA (tax free investment account) the year or so before - my ISA was/is a bit stock heavy.

Æternity Developers Update Week 29 [video]
Building datasets up via migration sets, not manual updates, and storing source data will solve both of those issues. If you also need fresh data, store snapshots which you should be doing anyway. Shortly put, with a thought out approach I don't see this as a bigger issue than anything else on the list.
This could do with a location attached to it. It's not true everywhere.

This is addressed in the article (in passing). You split the changes up -

First make sure your code handles both old and new schemas

Then introduce the schema change

Then introduce the code which depends on the schema

Each of these steps is performed separately and monitored for problems, with rollback possible at each stage. The most painful thing to rollback is the database, but it is possible, though rarely necessary if done in isolation and tested against the old code first.

There may be a few more steps after if you want to tidy up the schema by removing old data etc. It's trading off complexity in development/deploy for reliability.
Could someone please recommend a fast video editor?

I have been on the lookout for one for quite some time now. I'm looking for something a little more user-friendly than say FFmpeg, but all the very feature-light and also feature-rich alternatives seem incredibly clunky and slow, even on my fast machine.

Thus far I've tried Shotcut, Premiere and Sony Vegas. I would be very grateful for any suggestions!

You could always spend wealth on land, building a manor, hiring staff to maintain the land/manor, arts, crafts, travel, even science.

Also, how much would Darcy pay for an electricity generator, an old CRT television with a PSX and all the PSX games ever made? That makes comparisons in discretionary spending difficult.

But comparing basic spending could be doable. It is, of course, easier to compare such spending for a median person than for an outlier.
ML algorithms per se are in theory neutral on this subject, sure, but a trained model acquires and can amplify the biases of its source data-set.

You say “ideological”, but it is also sound science. Machine learning models of this kind are based on observational data and thus find correlations without knowing anything about causation, and so you need to put in a lot of effort to find and avoid problematic correlations. Of course, then the magic disappears, because an ML algorithm can't actually tell you if someone is a criminal.

If I know my_dict doesn't hold values that that are false-like, e.g. 0 or [], I use `or` to lazily alternate between options. This works because in python, `or` returns the first value that has a truthy value. In this case it would be

my_dict.get('existing_key') or foo()

This would also easily let you do multiple alternations (much more annoying with the ternary operator).

> No real proof of any of these claims here.

The proof is my own personal experience. If programmers were truly scarce, then every time a programmer passes a programming puzzle interview, then they'd be offered a job. I can't tell you how many interviews I've aced over the years only to be ghosted afterwards. If ghosting existed (which is very much does, and is quite common), then that means the market is oversaturated.
> Please don't. We don't need more concrete excuses for the central government to claim that there is foreign meddling.

Would that mean China takes a different stance in HK? Like this is an international PR chess game and China must follow the rules? Because surely that is not true.

HK is both valuable and dangerous to China, and the US can't seriously effect any narrative within the Chinese media. China, on the other hand, can create any narrative it wishes to.
Yeah to echo others in the Denver area it’s extremely hard to hire and devs can bounce around between places every year or so getting a decent raise each time as employers compete for labor.
the author is a tesla short and proud of it . Now the matter of data he sites its his blog which has no published paper or peer review. He quotes IIHS stats but says that they dont have enough data on Tesla ?? and he extrapolates tesla accident rates with correlation with news articles ?? and claims all death rates are not reported cause there may be data entry issues not realizing that it goes both ways?? . Being Short on tesla is different than being short on reality , the apples to apples comparison should be made with driver assist features . If its a matter of structural safety i believe that there should be no doubt that tesla make the safest cars by any standard euro NCAP / us NTHS .
To be honest it really disturbs why people hate Tesla so much. Citing your reason for them being over-optimistic or over-promising, how else do people change the world? I don't mean this message as an attack but something to think about. These guys are working on something No one has EVER done in the history of mankind and we require them to stick to timetables and if they don't the punishment is we wish them failure and celebrate it? If Tesla is to succeed all our lives will be better for it, why are their mistakes and obstacles celebrated? Why do we care if the company is overvalued? This is the same sentiment towards Apple when the iPhone first came out till it no longer could be ignored. Tesla is far from a perfect company, but their mission is true and the real question we should be asking ourselves rather than if we like Elon, or if the company is overvalued or if they over promise and under deliver. the real question is, Is this company really trying to fulfill its mission statement, If yes, would we want such a mission to succeed?

The airline industry is heavily regulated and the software industry isn't. Will Boeing be punished if they're found to have made a mistake - politically it's an absolute certainty, legally I presume it'd depend on whether there was an element of knowing to it, or whether all parties genuinely believed they were doing the best thing for safety.

But despite how tempting it is to punish people who make mistakes, it's generally understood that incompetence is not illegal and should not be. Criminalising incompetence just makes everyone a criminal and hands absolute power to prosecutors and regulators: a scenario warned against many times by students of history.

Every time I clean a yogurt container I feel torn. What is a better environmental trade-off: not running water for 90 seconds or recycling the plastic? I think it would be really helpful if there was some kind of universal unit that would describe the real environmental impact of producing, trashing, recycling of goods and materials.
The unit would appear on packagings of goods, specs of materials, landfill/recycling bins etc. I created a pdf to visualize the idea (all values in the pdf are made up): https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdi51serx6hwn8e/EarthHarm.pdf?dl=0 I realize how complex such a project would be. Inherently, the choice of how the unit works would be a political one. How to compare and calculate the different environmental challenges and wrap them up in one unit? What institution would have enough authority and expertise to deploy it? Setting this all aside, I think unit like this would be a really helpful tool letting people have some baseline they can refer to. It could inform people what is the impact of their actions and where to seek for a real change. (a simpler version of this project would be a well-researched website that compares these environmental factors with each other)

Its an obvious tautology to me.

If you allow decomposition then obvioisly net must be zero. If you createa object and destroy it, it pretty much has to release its source material in some form.

If tree stops growing it obviously has to have zero net. Anything absorbing anything has either to store it - grow, or release it in some form. Carbon is element, what are the options? Store it permanently, transform chemically and release, or transform it atomically and change the element but tree is not a nuclear plant.
