Unclear to me why people seem to think that a major station announcing something that they got (very generally) from some official release makes the same info (obtained some other way) nefarious in nature. Could be as simple as someone at the prison who saw what happened (employee or guard) and relaying it to someone by cell phone. I would find it hard to believe that doing so would break a law that would involve a significant penalty or risk. For that matter even the ME office driver (or whatever was used) might have had early wind of what was going on and relayed it to a third party. Who cares? I am sure they don't sign NDA's for this type of thing.

It's really easy to get a good bass from the DN, with the filter and amp env you can totally get a bass similar to a more common subtractive synth.

I'd say that the A4 can give me a "deeper" bass when I need but the DN comes loaded with quite a few basses presets for you to start from while you are getting the hang of it. I'm not sure how close to bredran's basses you can get (as I don't produce DnB) but if you can try a DN from a local music store for a bit do it! It's quite fast to get inspired with it and much easier to design sounds than it first appears.

And yup, I've been carrying it around sometimes while traveling, I'm starting to consider getting an external battery capable of powering my Elektron gear as I'd love to bring the OT and the DN while off the grid.

But they lose mobility as their family needs change. New kids and need a larger home? You can sell yours, but the differential between a 2br and 4br is now outside your price range due to gentrified prices.

Also, it depends heavily on tax laws. Long time California home owners are protected from tax increases under Proposition 13, but many localities lack these protections, so ultimately higher taxes price you out.

It's not a drug discovery, it's an FDA approval of a 3 drug combination treatment of existing molecules. It's not a more deadly strain of tuberculosis, per se (to clarify: as in "more virulent", like H5N1 is compared to normally circulating strains of influenza), but it's the "XDR" designation. This is regular tuberculosis that has developed drug resistance to the prior final lines of treatments.

I'm really disappointed by this comment. I'm not sure it's as bad as the newspaper analogy but let me try another.

In the US you do not have a right to drive a car (s/car/transportation). But lack of access to a car greatly hinders you in almost every aspect of life. Time spent traveling can easily be 2x-100x without access to a car. Some places it's impossible to travel without one. This is such a problem that in America it is all but a right to drive. Drivers licenses are easy to obtain because of this need for access. Overall this low barrier provides much more production and utility that it does downfalls (crashes and fatalities from underexperienced drivers, driving while drunk, etc). Access to transportation is all but a right. In today's day and age it is an essential part of life. Without it life becomes extremely difficult in modern society.

As to your second paragraph, I'll remind everyone that this is not the first time in history that we've had these problems. They are generally rooted from other societal problems. I'm not convinced that the internet amplifies this problem. There's historical examples of rumors spreading faster than a horse could travel between cities. The difference here is really number of people. It's node connections after all that's the issue, not really speed of information between nodes.

Health – Senior Fullstack Engineer – Full Time – Onsite in SF, or Remote
Here at Incredible Health, we are building a 2-sided marketplace to help nurses easily find the permanent job they love, while also helping health systems staff up from critically low numbers.

Right now, nurses have a hard time finding jobs at the hospitals of their choice. Also, there is a gigantic nursing shortage across the country. This doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be 3 times harder to find a nurse than it is a software engineer in Silicon Valley!

This is why Iman and Rome founded Incredible. We are building the 2-sided marketplace to improve the lives of medical professionals by enabling them to find jobs they love, all the while helping to drastically improve the medical and healthcare field by providing hospitals and medical systems with a one stop platform to hire qualified nurses and medical professionals!

Reasons this could be your dream job:

The team is close, amazing, and extremely talented
This market is huge, and ripe for disruption/help
We just closed a great Series A (unannounced) from a top VC
We work on hard technical problems and all the engineers will have ownership
We value growth, flexibility, and work life balance.
We care about actually making the world a better place.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of their applications were younger than 30. Their landing page is marketed toward meme generation. Most older folks won't make it past the landing page before seeking opportunity elsewhere.
I'll start by saying that I assume you know much more about the market than me, given that you've started this company and made it into YC.

If I read your post right -- the way your insurance works is:

I'm a home buyer. I think the housing market is frothy right now, but I want to buy a home anyway. So I can use your insurance to protect myself in the event the value of my house decreases in the future.

Your company is directly responsible for the first 20% decline. After that, other companies are responsible for the rest. And even if you go out of business, I'm still covered by those other companies.

Firstly, is that correct?

Secondly, if so -- what happens if you go out of business and my house goes down exactly 20%? I assume that means I have no coverage.

Thirdly, who's insuring the houses after a 20% decline? And why should I have any reason to believe they'd still be in business if the market collapses 20%+? The last time that happened, almost every insurance company and investment bank went out of business.

Finally, how much does this cost as a percentage of the house's current value yearly? Roughly...

It's an interesting idea. Despite the fact that most home buyers anticipate house price appreciation to underperform historical averages (and a lot of buyers actually think prices will go down) -- a lot of houses are being bought. I think a lot of those people would want an option like this.

How do you propose law to become the gatekeeper of tech when most US laws today are written and controlled by corporations, via campaign donations and lobbyists?

How can US law understand/regulate tech, given lawmakers are woefully uninformed, especially relative to those tech companies they seek to regulate?

How do you defend looking back to the Constitution in your argument, given its authors couldn't have envisioned the Internet or all its technological brethren? Do you think that male slave-owners in 1776, "representatives" chosen in a plutocratic fashion, should define what our rights are for all time, or is it possible we may gain new rights to previously un-thought of inventions?

> "I think we're reaching a point in history where we can start looking at slavery at its true scope and scale"

But are we though? I still encounter a non trivial number of people in the real world with objectively wrong ideas about the history of slavery in the US. We all see some of those folks passing laws and talking on national television.

I am generally not convinced that Americans really understand how recent slavery was, how present its impacts are today, how directly it explains both historically and literally at the time large aspects of our legal system, society, and general inequality issues today.

I agree with you that there's way more focus on the "US antebellum period" than other aspects, and that we should spend more time on the the other aspects than we do. Especially the modern day instances we actively propagate. But that seems like it should be an "and" effort not an effort at the expense of figuring out our own history.

Also - to anyone taking nilkn in bad faith - reconsider. We need to be able to share opinions and ask questions we know aren't super popular or that skirt hot button topics. Doing so is how we learn. As long as we do it carefully, respectfully, and with an open mind. Worst case scenario is for ideas to stay unexamined in our heads or uncritically reinforced in an echo chamber.
> it doesn’t appear that anyone over 30 was hired

Not that I don't agree that age discrimination exists in tech, but this could just be an artifact of startups in the Bay Area.

North of 30 is when people tend to settle down and start a family. That's enormously expensive in San Francisco. My guess is that most over-30s in tech either A) decamp to a lower cost of living metro, B) have very high-paying FANG jobs that startups can't compete with, or C) are independently wealthy from prior ventures.

Either way they're not showing up to a relatively low-paying, very high-risk, low-security startup job based on the outside chance of their stock options hitting it big. Lottery tickets don't pay the mortgage or pre-school tuition.

I think the underlying issue isn't so much age chauvinism as geographic chauvinism. Why do blank-slate companies continuously insist on basing themselves in the Bay Area? There's no shortage of talented engineers in Columbus, Philadelphia, Huntsville, Dubuque or Boise. Certainly enough for a dozen-employee seed-round.

I think the reality is a lot less interesting than the conspiracy theory: mainstream media sources are far less likely to post dangerous, controversial or radicalising content. Given that YouTube has historically had a problem with that (and still does in countries like Brazil[1]) it's not so much a suspicious response as a very predictable business response.

Well, yes and no.

"At the outset of [Black Africans in Renaissance Europe], Kate Lowe defines the editors’ key question: how were the main stereotypes concerning black people established in this period? She provides several examples relating to the main set of prejudices: the African was generally identified as a naked person who would mutilate his/her face and body with scarification, piercings, and tattoos; he/she would be considered as carefree and characterized by immoderate laughter, unaware of his/her condition, lazy and sexually promiscuous, physically strong, a good musician or dancer. Lowe recognizes the existence of noble or ennobled black men in European courts, but she stresses the role of black people as a necessary counter-image in the construction of European whiteness and ‘civilization’ (a notion coined in the eighteenth century). This is a necessary starting point, although some of the chapters develop a more nuanced vision of race relations in this period."

FWIW, Perl 6 has rational numbers with limited precision built in: https://docs.perl6.org/type/Rat . As soon as the denominator exceeds 64bit, then the Rat will be changed to a Num (aka float).

People will always do bad things, and taking away the tools to do bad things isn't going to stop it. Without even touching privacy rights (where America has less rights than many other countries), there are many other ways the government can lawfully spy on you. Encryption technology is great; the genie is out of the bottle, and I doubt anything can really stop it.

Or German politicians being shot for their political beliefs. Or British politicians being shot for their political beliefs. Ten years ago I wasn't seeing US soldiers and their trucks almost every time I take the highway in order to visit my parents in the countryside (I live in an Eastern-European country and NATO member, a geo-political stone's thrown away from Russia).

We've kicked at dominoes and they're toppling. If we can't clamp the temperature on a non-geological timescale, we're gonna face consequences. Add to that, industrial farming practices are bad for soil and groundwater.

So we can look forward to a world full of dry, barren farms going into a hot spell. Heat of summers is getting lethal in places; expect to see more of that. I'd say human population reduction looks extremely likely, due to the ongoing climate catastrophe.

This may be our filter. Maybe we'll live on. Maybe a science-literate subset of us will live on. But devastation seems much more likely than sustainable colonization of space.
True, but the article says deadliest, not deadly. If my sister is the deadliest she's ever been, that doesn't mean she's going to kill me or even that she's even going to try. She might simply be more angry than ever before, and so the likelihood of killing me while still extremely low is higher than previous.
