Yes this makes me very sad too. If you add the natural gas, iron ore, gold, etc we should be sitting on enough to run the country indefinitely. Instead the government is crying poor slashing services and selling off public assets.

We have also managed to completely hollow out the economy - there is nothing really left as all capital has flowed to the most profitable sectors (house building and resources) encouraged by public policy.
Here's a good explanation with a graphic.

Can you provide some more information instead of just muddying the waters? What are these "lot of bad calls". What are you referring to exactly?

>I don’t know why there’s an attitude of “Its philanthropic! It’s good!” Some of it is not.

Its not good just because its philanthropic, its good because they are investing money fighting diseases that nobody is interested in curing because there is no money in it (because the victims are from poor countries). A prime example is tuberculosis.
I do not disagree on any of your points in any way, shape, or form.

If something is abusable but on balance worth keeping, then it should be publicly positioned as such and the balancing factors dicussed. Ignoring the abusability of something and focusing solely on the upsides is one of the classic moves from Ye Olde Bag Of Dirty PR Tricks.

No, he would make more money using debt than selling shares. Assume he borrows at 3%, then Amazon just needs a higher return than 3% and he has made more money than just selling the shares.

What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense.
They haven't opened it up yet because of some changes with the iOS networking side of things. Last update was they were finishing that up over the past/next few weeks.
This view is too myopic. In India, for example, Coke sucks millions of litres of fresh water when surrounding areas are suffering from drought or mostly barren. There has been cases where Coke was forced to move out of a location due to outrage from people ... Personally, I'm of the view that individuals should be responsible in their decisions and how banning advertising of toxic products or the product itself will lead to a better society ...
This looks cute. Does the author expect to actually bring about any result by creating it? I see a Twitter link for various reps, but there's no link to any funded campaign to overturn recent legislation which has enshrined gerrymandering as the standard practice for districting. Perhaps if there was a donation link there it might be of more benefit.

On the other hand, a political statement in a font is a very interesting idea. I hope it helps drive a campaign to normalize legal districting in the future.
I don't agree with you. I don't consider these a loophole, and I don't consider the feds the best steward of this money if these privileges didn't exist.

I think its a shame that people don't understand the tax code and express their disdain by getting their favorite politician to "tax the rich" by raising "income" taxes, because thats all their gullible constituents know about from their personal experience, and this outcome only affects wage-workers like them.

There is almost zero benefit in accurately explaining this because it might actually change.

The suggestion I responded to about borrowing instead of selling would further reduce the fed's revenue. I don't consider that a loophole either.

A loophole for me would be using inadvertent outcomes of unclear regulatory guidance in a way that people didn't expect. Or passing a law yourself and then using it.
Wow never thought I'd see this on HN! I paid $20k to go to tech school for aviation maintenance. After doing that for 3 years I figured it just wasn't for me and I decided to go to university for computer science.

But before my last day of being an aircraft mechanic, I "accidentally" brought home a roll of high temp (non-waxed) lacing tape because I was already in the habit of using string to tie cables together (common in aviation). Figured if I paid $20k to go to school that I better at least find some other use for it. So far it is just cable lacing. I'm the only one I know that does it instead of zip ties. All kinds of random stuff in my house and on my cars is laced. Imgur proof: https://imgur.com/a/NLrJzlj

Mozilla | Operations Engineer | Remote

The team I'm on at Mozilla is preparing to hire more junior/mid and senior engineers in the USA, Canada, and Germany.

We build and maintain the infrastructure that supports Firefox’s many features. This encompasses around 70 services, ranging in scale from 2 users to 20 million concurrent connections, which are created by about a dozen different developer teams. Python is the most common language, though Nodejs, Go, Rust, and even Perl are also represented. When you take a look at the source of these services (most are publicly available in https://github.com/mozilla-services/ and https://github.com/mozilla/), you’ll notice that all are dockerized following the standards at https://github.com/mozilla-services/dockerflow.

Each service run by our team has a primary ops engineer as the main point of contact and a secondary to assist with engineering and on-call responsibilities, so no one person has to be familiar with every technology used in every service. Most services require on-call using pagerduty, but we regard pages as indicators of process problems and invest in the root cause analysis necessary changes to prevent failures from recurring. Although our top priority is keeping everything working well, you’ll often have the flexibility to balance your workload with services aligned with your skills and interests.

We standardize our infrastructure code across projects, so that your work in adding a feature to your own services’ infrastructure can easily be reused by the rest of the team. In our infrastructure Git repos, you’ll design, maintain, improve, and review automation, Python scripts, and monitoring code.

I'm told the postings should go live August 6th at https://careers.mozilla.org/listings/ . If you have any questions, contact me at bpitts+whoshiring@mozilla.com
My one reason for not agreeing with dividing the US is that most southern states (one of which I live in, happily) still have lots of black people who will lose federal protections from Jim Crow era laws that have not been enforced since the 60s. So the US staying together is a deterrent to, say, Alabama, enforcing some of its segregationist and racist laws that are just sitting there.

Now, I know the first answer to this is for black people to just pack it up and move somewhere else, and the guy in the interview glossed over it by saying people should "self sort". However large migrations almost always bring with them instability and sometimes war. I think of India and Pakistan as the most egregious example of what happens when populations are told to "self-sort" into separate countries that were once unified.
Yes: all connections. Both those from public WiFi and from secure wired connections and anything else. Point still stands: there is no extra risk form using a public WiFi as long as your traffic is encrypted.

I _think_ this whole thread is about "purity", whatever that means.
I've had the impression that Haskell usage has been growing. Also, development in Ruby still seems very active.
That seems like a stronger argument for Excel than for Perl.
It's tongue-in-cheek. And also a little bit of jealousy; I wish Common Lisp felt a little less fragile around binding generation and package distribution - then I could have a high-level language that's almost as fast as C (when using SBCL implementation), that could still interface with even faster C code.
Mir Protocol | San Francisco, CA | Remote OK | https://mirprotocol.org/

We're an early stage startup building a new blockchain protocol. Each state transition in this protocol is accompanied by a cryptographic proof, so users can verify blockchain state without downloading and re-executing transactions. We see this as the key to scaling blockchains and making them viable for broad adoption.

A lot of our work will involve programming in R1CS (similar to arithmetic circuits), which presents unique challenges. We're looking for engineers with a strong math and/or cryptography background. Rust experience would also be a plus.

It is good for sure, but a white paper isn’t exactly approachable for total beginners.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White

The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and arbitrary relation. It began among the Colonies, and grew out of common origin, mutual sympathies, kindred principles, similar interests, and geographical relations. It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form and character and sanction from the Articles of Confederation.

By these, the Union was solemnly declared to "be perpetual". And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "to form a more perfect Union".

It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not?

...

When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final.

The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.

...

The ordinance of secession...and all the acts of legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law.

America’s Achilles’ Heel: The Mississippi River’s Old River Control Structure
I agree. I used my iPhone 6 since 2015 till a few months ago. Androids do not last that long.

The problem is that during that time my iPhone suffered damage, despite a case (some of the damage was acknowledged as inherent flaws, but some were just my fault). And being a 6 I was able to get it repaired for a reasonable price.

That is increasingly less true for newer iPhones. It's $50 more to buy a new iPad than it is to repair the iPhone X screen. You can buy an iPad Air ($499) for less than the cost of any other iPhone X damage ($549).

And if you lose your iPhone, and would like to buy something cheap to keep you going until you splurge for the next generation a few months or a year from now, then your cheapest entry point is north of $500 again.

The economics of owning an iPhone are getting pretty rough, compared to what you get on the Android side.
The Apple watch is the only other device with the popularity to kind of sell Apple services. People aren't buying Apple's smart home solutions. I really wish Apple services were more broadly sold over other platforms.
I have a similar opinion of iPhones.

It's sad that people only really look at the flagship models and go "WOWZER IPHONES COST 1200$?!" The iPhone 8+ is 700$ which is still inline with "Previous Generation Pricing", heck a iPhone 7 starts at 450$ and is an incredible device.

I have a 7 Plus, it's going to be 2 years old this year, still going strong, no desire to upgrade - which is odd for me, I'm the kind of person who has a 1080ti, etc. - but my phone does EVERYTHING I ask of it, and Apple is happily supplying it with updates for at least another few years.

This idea that people have to spend $1200+ dollars on a phone every year needs to die.
The state of web page performance is pretty bad and could be so much better.

In 275 tests of 75 news articles the average page size was 3.6MB, made 345 requests, and took 46 seconds to load (on a ‘3G’ connection using WebPageTest.org)

More info and date: https://webperf.xyz/

Some publishers can load in seconds (with advertising etc) so there is little excuse. We know how to fix this.

And the watch is still tethered to the phone. We are a looooong ways from the iPhone not being Apple's most important product.
Obviously this is something that's impractical, would leave a lot of people in poverty and won't happen, but I've thought about this a number of times myself, and I've always wondered if it would rock regions so hard, their entire ideals would be shaken up. For example if a hyper individualistic population would slowly lose that trait because poverty forces them into a more empathetic, community focused view.
FreightFlows | Data/backend Engineer. Also Sales/Marketing and Product roles | Boston, MA USA | ONSITE or REMOTE

We're a new startup from Boston focused on the $20 Trillion dollar global seaborne trade market.

FreightFlows provides aggregated, predictive analytics for global trade. While maritime data continues to grow in volume and complexity, actionable insights continue to be elusive. The industry instead deals with inaccurate, stale and biased data from many fragmented sources. The complexity of bringing together trusted, timely information means companies have had to rely on dubious, incomplete market insight and therefore make decisions on anecdotal evidence. FreightFlows uses proprietary data science algorithms to synthesize data into trade truth, predictive analytics and actionable intelligence for traders, shippers, owners and brokers.
