>My kids are 6 and 4, so this has been our experience. We're not alone.

Everything I've read about Japan says that kids routinely walk themselves to school, take public transit all over the city by themselves, etc.

However, this is of course talking about kids who are older than 4 or 6, probably more like 7-8+. I haven't read anything about what parenting 4-year-olds is like there, just that your typical 10-year-old is quite independent, unlike here in the US where you will really get arrested in some places if your 10yo is at the local park alone, or in other places the cops will bring him back home and give you a lecture about stranger danger.

>Don't forget we're talking about a woman. Sexism is deep in Japan. Why deal with all of that when chances are so much more accessible elsewhere?

That's a pretty easy thing to answer for anyone: emigrating is hard, and it's a really hard thing to leave your home country and culture you grew up in and try to make it someplace else. This is true for any human. It's especially true if you're going to a country where the language and culture are especially alien to you. (i.e., emigrating from UK to US isn't that hard; we have the same language and similar culture. Emigrating from Japan to US is a huge, huge change.)

On top of that, other countries have their problems too. US is an extremely violent country with a 3rd-world-level murder rate, an almost non-existent public transit system, a shockingly expensive healthcare system, and a rather low ranking on any quality-of-life index compared to other industrialized nations.

>I'd bet this is usually true, but it just doesn't apply in our case.

Of course, individual experiences can be very different than national norms. It's too bad her family isn't more involved.

It /might/ be set aside to handle actual cases of identity theft. Going through the claim, there is an option to reclaim up to $20,000 if your identity had been stolen.
bootOS now has a service table and an example program counter.asm to demonstrate it :)
As a linux user, I also appreciate Electron apps over nothing at all. Of course I understand the overall disdain for them, but in my world it's a new app I would have not had the opportunity to use otherwise.
Here’s the thing: I’ve seen a few of the metrics they use to calculate credit scores, and they’re all meaningless ad-hoc rules that were obviously fabricated out of whole cloth.

It makes sense when you think about it: if you woke up in the morning and your credit score had dropped 50 points, and they told you it was because they changed the rules, you would say that it was unfair. And so the calculation method hasn’t changed since the 50’s. My guess is, some guy with a crew cut and horn rim glasses lit up a cigarette, threw back a shot of whiskey, got out his number 2 pencil and just wrote a bunch of stuff down on a piece of paper, and that’s still how credit scores are done.

But even if it was originally a useful metric, and even if it somehow remained valid after all this time, it still would be useless, because once you make a metric into a target, it stops being a useful metric.

So the question is: why do people still use credit scores?

The answer is simple: it’s a game we play. It’s like the kobyashi maru of finance: the only way to win is to cheat. There are all kinds of ways to hack your credit score, by opening up a line of credit you don’t need and paying it off really fast, whatever. And what they are looking for is the people who will play along, who will do whatever it takes to get a high score, even knowing the score is meaningless, because the kind of person who is willing to do that is also the kind of person who is likely to have a lot of money.

And that’s why we use credit scores.
Sydney is still being influenced by overseas trends right now as trams become popular again across large western cities. So do they actually make rational decisions or just follow whatever anyone is doing at the time?
Do you have an example? I don’t think they need this language legally, and I have not seen it in these agreements. Further, companies that buy debt make reports to credit agencies without having a contract with the individual.

Granted, I could just not understand what’s in the contract.
On the contrary, the modern credit scoring system has been a huge success when it comes to fighting discrimination. Previously banks left underwriting decisions to the whims of individual bankers. Unsurprisingly, many of these whims were based on things like the color of an applicants skin.

While there are certainly some arguments to be made about disparate impact under our current system basically everyone agrees that access to credit for minorities is much much better than it used to be.
A thing I recently noticed about cloudflare's DoH resolver: It is already being classified as "Anonymizing tools" and similar categories by several companies,leading to a succesful block.

Perhaps using an inconsistent IP and being able to use any cdn/cloud IP(by including it as a subject in the cert) coupled with SNI encryption might help?

I am split about the subject myself but I prefer upstream DoH resolvers to be hard to block. If I want to intercept DoH I can always provide an internal resolver.
"I’m pretty sure that Russia understands very well that other than a nuke on Tel Aviv they don’t have the logistics to have an engagement with Israel that does not end in total humiliation and the destruction of all Russian assets in the region.

At the end of the day if push comes to shove Israel can push 400 aircraft into Syria’s airspace and countless ground assets the numbers simply don’t favor Russia.

The Russian navy is also not in a shape to engage, other than their submarine fleet any naval assets they put in theater would be likely targeted and crippled if not destroyed this also includes their aircraft carrier."

This discussion has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with Russia not engaging US and ally Tomawhawk missiles, in which Israel is not involved.

"I’m pretty sure that Russia understands very well that other than a nuke on Tel Aviv they don’t have the logistics to have an engagement with Israel that does not end in total humiliation and the destruction of all Russian assets in the region."

Yea, but it can nuke Tel Aviv. And Israel can't nuke anything of consequence back, even with its illegal nukes.

It can also saturate all of Israel with conventional artillery. Even a fraction of its forces would overhwhelm the system immediately, and that's assuming it works against anything but SCUDs and slow moving toy rockets.

"and countless ground assets the numbers simply don’t favor Russia."

The last time Israel pushed "countless ground assets" into Lebanon to bomb their hospitals and destroy their tourist industry, Russian RPGs destroyed a number of Merkavas. Cry more about how those were "mobility kills."

In what magical world does an Israel vs Russia ground war "simply don’t favor Russia."?

"The Russian navy is also not in a shape to engage, other than their submarine fleet any naval assets they put in theater would be likely targeted and crippled if not destroyed this also includes their aircraft carrier."

Russia has the best ASMs in the world. This is widely accepted.

Your post is comical even before you consider that most of the technology Israel has is thanks to the USSR diaspora.
> "isn't the future that I or end users want"

End users do want it as seen by the commercial success of Electron based products, including completely free products like VSCode even when Sublime and Visual Studio exist.

Features and functionality almost always overrule performance. I'd rather wait a little longer to do something than not be able to do it at all.
Seriously. I was especially struck by this, which sounds like it is written by Equifax PR people, but it comes from the FTC:

> The free credit monitoring provides a much better value, and everyone whose information was exposed can take advantage of it. If your information was exposed in the data breach, and you file a valid claim before the deadline, you are guaranteed at least four years of free monitoring at all three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) and $1,000,000 of identity theft insurance, among other benefits. The market value of this product is hundreds of dollars per year.

The "market value" they quote is the price tag that Experian would like you to pay, but the actual marginal market price that Equifax pays Experian is $16/claimant.
There is an 'input' user group, which gives you access to raw mouse, keyboard, joystick, et c. under `/dev/input/`. (I'm sure you could configure udev to use more more granular user groups for different types of input devices, if you really wanted). Normal human users of a single-user system should be members of the 'input' group, so this "should" be a non-issue.
That depends on whether you get ADSL (6 Mbps per copper phone line, resold AT&T, but a real phone line) or Fiber Optic (gigabit fiber optic to the apartment, but you get an additional box that exposes a phone jack plugged into the ONT in the closet, so presumably VOIP).

I've seen Sonic hook up places in SF with both; they sell the ADSL to try and get the revenue to build out more Fiber.

The Sonic technician I spoke to at my last apartment said we could just leave the phone line unplugged if we didn't need it, but that setting it up was not optional for some bureaucratic reason. (Even made us pick a phone number from a list...)
"think HIV / AIDS / HEP-C"

Think viable transmission vectors for those diseases.
That's a bit of an odd comparison to make. Scrollsnapping is a useful feature in many scenarios and as the previous comment mentioned the current way of doing it is hacky.

Popups are an entirely different thing but there are legitimate uses for these too. There was never any work around for popups, it's a simple one line of code, you just need to make sure its opened in a trusted event such as a real user click to ensure the user actually wanted the pop up to show.
They do; Experian didn't lose, they made a deal, and that deal limits their potential downside on this point quite sharply.
> society has become pretty litigious and I think some of the understanding around default opt-ins during enrollment for other services and third party data sales need to be revisited

Are you saying these two ideas are related? If so, I don't quite see the connection -- can you expand a bit?
I used Sonic in Livermore because despite the relatively low speeds, I didn't have to reboot the modem every week like Comcast!
SF -> "Western" Europe and SF -> China I believe.
iOS 13, I think. Probably supported on Android, though.
> Do you have any suggestions on how to best reach these types of candidates?

Perhaps a combination of creating high quality content hyper targeted towards this audience to help them identify companies to work at, prepare for interviews and how to apply & reaching out to programming student organizations, and CS administrations at these schools to set up workshops, etc. Attending career fairs could also be fruitful (or even better, setting up great virtual career fairs for these schools)

College administrators are incentivized to work with you - the more of their students get placed at companies, the more valuable their program becomes in the eyes of future students. E.g. my college used to heavily market av. starting salary and % students placed at graduation.

> so hiring "undervalued" talent is actually a great way for them to attract and hire talent!

This is interesting. I buy that startups without a recruiting brand want to hire undervalued candidates, but I'm skeptical of their demand to hire undervalued AND entry-level candidates / interns, given their stage where they likely need more execution power with less time spent on mentorship / ramping up. Curious to see how targeting this segment pans out in the long-term, but I'm sure with effective sourcing and screening, you can shift the company segment if need be.
Ask HN: How much would you pay for adblock in real life?
It seems to me that the "killer app" for AR is adblock in real life. I would personally pay about as much as I would for a laptop(so 400 to 2000 usd). Are there startups working in this space?
Currently, backcountry permits are voluntary.

> I've had credit card companies call me and straight up say "If you pay this right now over the phone with me and pay the $15 telephone transaction fee, this won't hit your credit report"

Does that not qualify as extortion?
> you are guaranteed at least four years of free monitoring at all three credit bureaus

Does this mean that credit thieves will just wait until after the free monitoring period ends and start opening up accounts with their stolen identities then?
Asia isn't just China or Japan. India, and other peripheral countries don't have high Mac penetration.
I've had both. I had the Beyond Burger at a burger/beer joint and it was legit good. But I was surprised and very satisfied with it, as was the buddy I was with who is also not a vegetarian.

I had the Impossible Burger at Burger King, and it's now my go-to for when I want a fast food burger. It won't fool you, but it's about equally satisfying and it makes me feel less bad about the environmental and ethical impacts of a beef burger.

I will say that I've mostly eliminated red meat from my diet due to ethical/environmental/health concerns, so convincing me to try and continue eating one of these is much easier than convincing a die-hard carnivore, or even a middle of the road meat eater.
The best thing that I can think of is to reach out to all the different colleges and universities and see if and when they hold any sort of career fairs / career information sessions for their about-to-graduate students. There are also career fairs that are more general (not associated with an educational institution, but a city or a state/province).

This is already a widely accepted theory usually called the "Social Contract".
FWIW Credit Karma just sent out an email that they qualify as a credit monitoring service for this purpose.

I would guess the kind of person who is paying enough attention and was willing to spend the few minutes it takes to sign up for this settlement right away, is also using some kind of service like Credit Karma (or Mint might qualify now as well). So a lot of these people might actually have it covered.
Glad you're working on this!

I'm an experienced developer from a more traditional background - do you ever foresee the internship serving as a _mutual_ vetting process? I'd love to be able to experience a company from the inside before jumping from candidate to full-time employee.
So... no where? Where I live you either live in an apartment or in a house that is 5 feet away from neighboring houses in all directions. What percentage of the population is rich enough to own empty land that they can plants trees on?
> 1GBPS internet at $40 a month" and only a year later realize that you're paying $75 a month instead

I don’t feel you realize how good you have it. There are even more annoying hidden charges from Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. Moreover, for only 400 mbps I pay $200 a month while you only pay $75 for fiber internet. To be clear my cost is only a temporary discount that will shoot up to nearly $400 in a few months. At which time I will be forced to downgrade

You’re being too picky given the state of the ISP duopoly market. I would gladly switch ISP providers with you if it were possible
It sounds like you're buying their DSL service. DSL is delivered over the telephone network's copper. A copper pair is necessary to deliver DSL.

In the 90s, legislation was passed that forced the ILECs to open up their copper networks to anyone. This allowed companies like Covad and Sonic to sell DSL over copper that was owned by the phone company, but the phone company got to charge for access. (I believe this legislation was recently reversed or modified in the phone companies' favor but don't know any details.)

So when you buy DSL you're buying both a few copper wires from the phone company and internet service from the guys on the other end of those wires.

As for who needs a landline... wires can be more reliable than radio waves under certain circumstances.
If you're just going to copy another language there really isn't much of a point in making a new language. Go is not java, or c# or rust.

Part of the explicit goal stated by the go team is that generics must still feel like go. If you slapped java generics onto go it would not feel like go.
Seeds are better. More genetic biodiversity.
The sensor you linked is limited to SEAD missions in most occasions.

I am going to admit to moving the bar - but at this point you have MIG-31s in the air looking for SEAD and taking down any AWACS.
to be fair, thats how it seems the 'constitionality' of most laws is determined..
The settlement is quite ridiculous actually.

$200 million in fines to the states and federal government. $300-$500 million to reimburse consumers for actual expenses they incurred. And $31 million to anyone otherwise affected.

They could have reduced the fines by 10% and doubled the pool for the general public. lol
But in the design industry? I don’t know many Indian designers, but the few I’ve met in Bangalore have all had Macs.
it's a ring without (i)dentity. makes perfect sense to me. Besides this is a mathematical object not a programming thing - math has its own culture and conventions and pronunciation isn't a cultural value.
Second this. If it has exercises, even better. About to undertake my MSc Comp Sci and would like to learn Discrete Math as I'm coming from a non-math background (did B.IT at school and only took two math courses).
Once we have electric buses (battery powered) I think this makes sense.

And it would also make environmental sense in some cases to build a new road over a new train route. Because you can then run electric buses (maybe self-driving eventually) which can then easily open up new routes where trains would be unpractical for commuters.
> Debts don't simply "disappear" because a company goes out of business

Yes, they basically do, if it's a limited liability entity (LLC, Corp, etc.) absent the special conditions being met for piercing the corporate veil.

> And there already exist nondischargeable debts

That effects bankruptcy, not termination of the entity with exhaustion of assets leaving unresolved debt. Just like death or individual whose estate is entirely consumed leaving unpaid debt, if no one else is legally liable for the specific debt, it dies with the debtor.
I am glad that my offer to take you up on your bet has lead you to clarify your position into something less hyperbolic.

Precision is important.
If China's Muslim population amounts to 24 million thus they represent about 1.7% of the whole country'pop; not much maybe.

This doesn't solve the problem that already happened, but I would take this as a sign that it might not be a bad idea to just opt into e-statements and avoid snail mail. The world is electronic now. If nothing else, you'll at least save some carbon, paper, etc. from being consumed along the way.
> “London has resolved its traffic problem by replacing trams with buses, and Sydney should do the same,” he advised.

Interestingly enough, London has not seen it fit to reinstall trams, instead choosing to continually expand the Underground (subway) network and apply congestion charges to the inner-city traffic. And as it happens, one of the more valid criticisms levied against Sydney's new line is that its capacity will be insufficient from Day 1, and it really should have been built as heavy rail instead.
Normally you wouldn't write that since the compiler will be able to infer the baz type based on buzz (assuming this is a call to a generic function).
I hope the CEO fires every one their worthless asses.
Collecting and sharing such data as these companies do should be illegal. Applying for credit, signing up for websites, etc should never imply consent and consent shouldn't be required for such things. We need laws to regulate these out of control data industries before they destroy our society completely as these breaches and the election hacks have already started.
What's the reason to not like Comcast? For me it was Sonic at $90/mo for 3 maybe 4mbps (not a lie), or Comcast at $80 for 300mbps. It's a no-brainer there.

I'm not doing anything illegal so I don't care about Comcast cracking down on torrents. The data caps are high enough that I can't hit them in my max-2 simultaneous Netflix streams. Comcast let me buy my own modem instead of using theirs. The only time I lost Comcast service was when all of San Francisco lost power.

Comcast is pretty bad/predatory as a cable TV operator. But we're talking about Internet service, and they're pretty straightforward there.

If you're in SF, can't get Sonic fiber, and really hate Comcast, then you should look into Monkeybrains.
Sydney suffers IMO from it's harbour topology (topography?). There are a lot of points where the only way to get from A to B is over a specific bridge. But I'll take the awesome views :-)
Neat! I'd love to see the rise of a high end clothing brand centered on making clothes with kevlar and other novel materials to create a comfortable washable clothing with a higher protection factor.
According to the New York Times:

"Almost half the settlement — $300 million — will go toward American consumers who were harmed by the breach, according to settlement documents filed in federal court in Atlanta. The company also agreed to pay $275 million in fines to end investigations by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission and 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico."

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/business/equifax-settleme...

According to Equifax's FAQ:

"the total amount available for these alternative payments is $31 million"

So I'm wondering the same thing: what happened to the rest of the amount set aside for the victims, about $270 million?

---

EDIT: Interesting note in the article linked above:

If all 147 million victims of the breach were to take part, the monitoring services would cost Equifax more than $2 billion.

“If people want Equifax to pay more, sign up for credit monitoring,” said Norman E. Siegel, a lawyer representing consumers in the settlement.
> it is certain that Epstein is not related to the US intelligence agencies.

what about the dreaded possibility that our intelligence agencies are somehow fighting domestic wars for/against specific political interests? In that case, whatever agency "owned him" would want him to ensnare as many powerful people as possible.
Because if you want to have a meeting during working hours, the work day is about 9 hours long. So at worst someone may have to stay an hour longer than usual or come in an hour early. Anything beyond that means that someone is working well outside normal working hours.

It's a rule of thumb, not a hard limit. If you have someone in a time zone 12 hours away who likes to work at odd hours all the time, then great, go for it!
The only sane way I can map the problem in question onto your analogy is by subletting rent controlled units, thereby increasing their value and decreasing the value of the uncontrolled unit. I don’t think it’s a good analogy because people have all sorts of subjective bias based on experience. Also real estate is inherently sparse and illiquid. The drug market isn’t sparse and has more liquidity.

I think explaining the economic dynamics directly leads to a self evident conclusion: internationally drug prices would increase as US consumers add to demand on foreign markets. Domestic prices would fall for the same reason
