One thing that I think these posts always ignore is that, for a lot of us, the ambiguity over whether or not it is a date is an essential piece of the puzzle. So going in knowing it's a date takes away all of the magic necessary to fall for someone else. I always meet someone as soon as I give up on online dating.

If I were single again, I think I would like an app that deliberately makes it ambiguous whether someone likes you or just wants to hang out with you. You'd have to figure that out yourselves. So you'd choose people you genuinely enjoyed spending time with, which would increase your potential dating pool, but you wouldn't go into it without the magic of ambiguity.

Data is always cool though.
The answer is actually "probably not". I was looking at Bay Area housing ~4-5 years ago, and while I had a gut feeling of "how can it possibly go any higher?!!", when I did some research (similiar to the parent) it made sense to buy. I ended up not buying because I realized I simply don't want to live in Bay Area period, even if it was as cheap as Austin was back then :)
Last year I did the analysis again in Seattle, and it looked like it may be topping out. I figured I want to buy anyway and did, and it topped out one month later. It was dumb to buy, I could have had my house for cheaper a year later.
To be fair, sometimes small looking differences can have a huge impact over long periods of time.

> Well they tried. Shortly after the Chinese revolution, HK was receiving an influx of refugees from China. Mostly well educated and skilled people. Britain was moving to bring in democratic reforms in the 1950s. China threatened to invade to "liberate" the territory if such reforms continued.

They didn't try but abandoned any efforts due to self interest of profits and economic extraction from a colony. The article put this in a better context, I just put excerpts from the link you shared:

Brits wanted to make sure they’d protected their economic interests before they departed, much the way they did in Singapore and Malaysia.

Another one:

In fact, in 1982, when negotiations began, the Hang Seng Index was already shaky due to fears that if China took over, the Communist Party would gut Hong Kong’s rule of law or nationalize wealth, causing the market to crash and capital to flee. The Brits needed to calm markets and ensure financial stability. That meant making sure the handover agreement protected British financial interests.

Ask HN: First time CTO, having trouble juggling multiple asks from teams in org
I'm having trouble juggling emails from multiple different teams, and multiple different vectors. I forget to reply to emails, and forget timelines for deliveries on verbal communications I have with other people.

I want to solve this since it's early in my tenure and I know I can fix it, I just never had a mentor teach me these things.

How do you manage asks/comms from multiple teams in the org, and remind yourself to keep track of asks and emails from people?

Appreciate any and all help. Throwaway for obvious reasons.
People can publish whatever they want, and the only thing H1 can do about it is disinvite them from their platform. But anyone who suggests that H1 encourage people to publish NA/WONTFIX bugs probably hasn't had much contact with H1 bounty reports.

I was careless to label the response as a rebuttal. The merit and significance of the response for me was the contextualizing of the original New Yorker piece under a pattern of western MSM bias designed designed to undermine and dismiss Chinese perspectives. College Daily is the equivalent of Buzzfeed / Gawker. They don't do good reporting, I'm aware of the controversies surrounding the brand. But to portray it as some primary source of information for Chinese student diaspora while dog whistling the publication as Chinese Breitbart instead of calling it a sensationalist clickbait shitrag where _some_ Chinese kids get their culture war bonerings is disingenuous. The fact that there are many Chinese voices that dissent to the standards of the publication on Chinese social media should indicate that there is understanding of the nature of the publication and the niche that it serves. Titling the article: "The “Post-Truth” Publication Where Chinese Students in America Get Their News" is the kind of headline one would engineer to dismiss Chinese perspectives given the timing of the article to recent Chinese political activations in western societies.
wow- I didn't even have the patience to read through all of them. How does YC coach so many? At 15 min a startup, they can cursory mentor 32 startups/day or 160/wk if they do nothing else. That doesn't seem like coaching. More like a certificate school.

Except AWS does a whole lot more than just let you rent generic EC2 instances by the hour. They have sooo, sooo, sooo many custom services that their lock-in is huge.

No such lock-in exists with WeWork. In fact the entire reason for WeWork's existence is it doesn't have lock-in.

I don't understand the advice: "Use async sparingly"

It doesn't make sense. Either your complete code base is async or it is not. If you have a single blocking code point in it. It is not async anymore, since it can't handle any other schedule async tasks while waiting for the blocking call.

There is typically a significant UX impact on identifying the authenticator, some of which is effectively baked into the spec.

This is partially because it serves as a fingerprinting vector for authenticating users, and limits functionality (such as reusing the authenticator to access multiple accounts on the same site). This UX penalty will most likely dissuade people from limiting authenticators in cases where they aren't trying to meet AAL3 or rough equivalent.

Once you have an authenticator attestation, you can tie it to metadata on features, certification, and security incidents.

However, I actually don't suspect that real-world policy will rely on such dynamic metadata. Instead, organizations will limit the allowed authenticators to a static set of models, most likely models they issue to users.

So you'll see things such as banks allowing large money transfers only when you use the bank-issued authenticator, or having government contractors only able to authenticate into systems using the key fob they were issued.
> My point is that propaganda is happening everywhere. Yes, it's happening in China blatantly and fragrantly. But everyone needs to be wary and alert that it might be happening even in seemingly "safe" countries.

Yes, I totally agree. To scapegoat the CCP as "the" evil power center would not only be unfair and hypocritical, it would be dangerous.

For me as a German, I a lot of beef with "my" country, "the West" etc. But that doesn't make me like Putin or the CCP, etc. If anything, the more corruption or tyranny there already is, the worse any additional "amount" of it becomes, if you know what I mean.

Of course that also means I cannot excuse "our" crimes with that of the CCP. For me that'd be like using the misdeeds of others to excuse one's own, which is actually worse than just doing the misdeed. And criticizing elsewhere is easy.

But so is looking the other way, and I also must not do that, I can't. If I want to secure and deserve what freedom I have, I have to support that of others, at least in principle, always.

> But this was seemingly mistranslated in the videographer's favor? I point this out, not to argue with the message of the video, but to show that there is nuance/spin happening everywhere.

No disagreement here either. And it really disheartens me when causes with legitimate grievances "give it a little extra". I wish people were more strict about that, it's a real problem. And making such small corrections, no matter how benign or factual, gets people labeled as "being in the other camp" so quickly, which is the worst part, apart from people thinking in terms of "sides" alll the time in the first place. So thanks for pointing this out.

And thank you for taking the time as well :)

Well, you have forgone rent you could have collected from a different tenant and reduced the quality of the tenant you have accepted.

So for an investor who looks at your rent roll, they will see that you have an increased rent arrears and they will value your asset at a reduced rate.

And as the sibling comment has mentioned, if you discount up front you haven't received any money.

Or worse still you provide a rent incentive in the case of a capex fitout and are now left with an office fit out a future tenant may or may not want but you have spent significant amounts of money on.
On one hand, I agree with you that the impact of states with high voting power is somewhat mitigated by the fact that they're small, and the effect of the electoral college only comes into play in elections that are relatively close to begin with.

But on the other hand:

a) All recent presidential elections have been close in popular vote. And as the article points out, two of the last three presidents have won the electoral college while losing the popular vote.

b) Everyone would be appalled by any other large systematic difference in voting power, even if the overall impact was limited. Can you imagine if instead of going by state, we decided to go by income and the top 0.2% of people were given 3.6 votes each? People would lose their minds.

As for the math, I was using electoral votes divided by the voting-age population of each state in the 2010 Census. So, Wyoming is 3 EV / 0.428M = 7.0 EV/M and New York is 29 EV / 15.053M = 1.9 EV/M. If you use total population instead, you get the basically the same ratio (3.55x vs 3.64x).
A lot of people think the changes Trump is making are radically different, and the system has turned out to be a gentleman's agreement that doesn't prevent anything.
In my opinion, you have as much right to fire them as they do for you. Sometimes an immediate termination is the right decision, especially if the situation is an on-going cost on your mental well-being. You can just walk away, if that's what you need to do.

As others have noted, there are financial, legal, perhaps moral and reputational aspects to consider. If the estimate of total "loss" you may incur is less than what it costs you to stay, well, you owe it to yourself to fire them.

Speculatively, one gets to burn bridges like this only a handful of times in their life/career, even if it's for a reasonable cause.

It would be ideal if you can do it "politely", as in, give the minimum required notice (2 weeks?). That would remove/reduce any guilt you may feel about the decision.

> The advantage of a standard library is that you only need to learn one API instead of a dozen different APIs for doing the same thing, which means you can develop a degree of mastery over it.

The rust ecosystem has done well to converge on certain crates as sort of replacement for missing std features.

In practice (at least in the rust ecosystem), I only need to learn one interface for:

* regex (regex)

* serialization (serde)

* network requests (request)

There are de-facto base crates in the ecosystem.

The red and blue on electoral college maps is a lie. About 40% of Californians supported Trump in 2016, and vice versa for Alabama.
The consequence of continuing would have been far worse than abandoning. The fact remains that they were moving to put in place democratic reforms. Prior to the Chinese revolution HK was an economic backwater - most of its population being related to the transhipment port and military presence. Kowloon and New Territories were only added as buffer zone for the port. Growth was nearly all post Chinese revolution.

In the post-war decolonisation period GB had a policy of no independence before majority rule. They were putting in place democratic reforms elsewhere, and ensuring minority rule (ie South Africa) didn't continue after independence.

> we the people get to decide which candidate will do the better job. Or we should. But because of the electoral college, we don't.

If we accept that we the people should get to directly decide, then of course the decision should be made by popular vote. But that's just assuming your conclusion.

Also, this is a different argument from the one you gave before: now you're accepting that the President's job is not to take care of everyone's concerns.
I feel like the role of a standard library has become kind of overloaded. Back when you had to manage all your dependencies yourself, having that baseline of functionality bundled with the language and maintained by its authors was a logistical necessity. You just don't have time to chase deps for every little thing.

But in the modern world, I agree with the small language people: the logistical problem is dead. Almost every modern language has push-button dependency management, so the difficulty overhead of using a third-party library is basically zero. And, as you pointed out, this means that the stdlib now competes with third-party libraries, and the third-party libraries proliferate wildly. So there's still a problem, it's just not logistical anymore.

The other problem a stdlib solves is making decisions. This is the npm nightmare: which of these fifty libraries do I use? They're easy to install, but hard to evaluate. This compounds because every library is also making those decisions with their dependencies and so on, so you can end up with 8 different implementations of basically the same thing. You don't have this problem with a stdlib because if there's a std::string, everyone expects your code to work with std::string.

So perhaps the modern stdlib is better off as a standards library: no code, just a mapping from name (ie "option_parser") to package@version (ie "clap@1.1.0"). The work of the stdlib would then be to curate this mapping in a cohesive way, so the packages are high quality individually, but also work well together and reflect the general direction of the language and its community. Whether or not these packages are actually bundled with the compiler is really just an implementation detail. The library isn't code; it's decisions.

Updates would be pinned to release versions, so backwards-incompatible changes coincide with a major version/edition/etc of the language. This would be an expected process, because, as with urllib{n+1}, the first answer isn't always the best. Third-party packages are just as available as ever, of course, and a destandardised package is only a (trivially automated) rename away.

Aside from providing a layer of simplicity and stability over the third-party ecosystem, the standardised libraries would serve as reference implementations for a common interface, like Node's express/connect, or Rust's tokio/futures. In other words, it could help concentrate community effort around emerging standards.

I grant that this is a very, uh, political approach to what has historically been a code problem, but if anything I think the current situation owes itself largely to treating community problems ("how do we agree on a foundational layer of library code?") with technical solutions (package registry + sort by stars).

>what leads you to believe that everyone in a race has an equal chance of winning it?

I made no such assumption.

If you pull runner speeds from any distribution, and label 90% of those numbers "male" and 10% "female", 90% of the time the highest speed will be labelled "male".

Even if you are pulling the female runner speeds from a slightly faster distribution, if most of the people running are men then men will still win most of the time.

Failing to normalize by the population sizes at the start of the race is a blatant mathematical error. Until you fix it your argument is flawed and if you don't fix it you're willfully wrong.

I would rather suggest that H1 discourage (or even prohibit) their partners from dis-inviting reporters for publicizing NA/WONTFIX bugs.

In this particular case, is sounds like H1 (or an employee thereof) actively discouraged disclosure, which seems like a problem.

There can clearly be more than one problem. I still fail to see the relevance of the "bug report quality" problem to this discussion (beyond explaining why automatic disclosure of NA/WONTFIX reports is not helpful.)
