this is probably going to be labeled as a naive view, but to me it's clear that no one cares about the spirit of the sharing economy (not even corps like uber or airbnb): no one should be dedicating 100% of their "work time" to ubering... nor buying up properties to rent it out as airbnb permanently... I thought it was about unused/wasted time/resources that could be shared (for some profit).

Corps likely airbnb and uber should probably go back to building their platforms to promote occasional resource assignment rather than permanent.
The funny thing is almost everyone I've walked through using find my iPhone over the past few years assumed Apple already had this capability and ended up disappointed if they were looking for a device that was not sitting out in plain sight.
I agree that the general public has basically no idea how the academic world operates and surely their trust in it would decrease if they knew. There are many sketchy practices and a lot is based on an "honor" system, which often devolves to back scratching. Lots of inflated claims for sexy publicity, mass produced PhDs etc.

People imagine science as this serious rigorous thing where everything is objective and unbiased careful "monks" investigate all the details with scrutiny. When actually it's often like a bazaar. You have to sway the reviewer with overinflated claims and "sell yourself" in a way that fully contradicts the scientific virtue of self-skepticism (finding reasons why you're wrong, not right). There's also a lot of who knows/likes who and subjective human factors. These are all obvious for people after a few months or 1-2 years as a researcher, but science has a very different image for laypeople who mostly know about it from school, mostly results that were produced in a different era. The number of scientists has exploded recently, there are tons and tons of papers written and they are all supposed to be some novel discovery and this great leap forward, which is clearly unrealistic at this scale. At the same time thorough analysis and skeptical papers are "boo"-ed down, seen as confrontational and are undervalued compared to sexy new claims.

Many institutions have become paper mills. Raw metrics like paper counts and citation counts have replaced careful consideration in many evaluations, it's basically an industrial scale mechanized process. Feels like a house of cards that can not be kept up indefinitely. The reputation of science will be hurt for sure as the public starts to find out more.

Lots of people gave warnings. I was reading warnings about it in the Economist for years.

It was a damned complex system and so is the economy. A lot of stuff is only fully obvious in hindsight.

You also have the problem of knowing who to listen to. Many people are warning about many things right now. Some are prescient, some are wrong. How to judge?

2008 could have been better predicted and better prevented, but it's false to say no one warned.

My point is that there are so many processes that fit under that characterization that it seems fairly meaningless to prefix "Darwinism". Plus, that something follows a process of variation, selection and heredity seems fairly uninformative. I still fail to see why it is considered such a breakthrough, as per all my tongue in cheek examples.

They don't see flat static images, but a continuous stream of input that changes view angle constantly as they and the object make subtle movements.

I worry a lot less about a market correction then I do a political "correction" affecting the markets. We're so polarized. You can sense a desperation among those who took out an exceptionally high amount of student debt and have no realistic way of repaying it. Risk of medical bankruptcy is also extremely high. Among other things, these types of occurrences make people desperate, and desperate people are willing to try desperate solutions, such as radical wealth redistribution, or government/centrally planned economies (socialism), or ...? Ask yourself how 50% of the country might feel if we removed from power (either constitutionally or other means) our democratically elected president?
Spreading equity across several weeks can be very misleading when you’re in the middle of a period where the stock price is shooting up.

You can work only when the platform routes a job to you, not “whenever you want”. It's on-demand temporary work with a faster “job is available, do you accept it?” cycle than most, but the general idea of such on-demand work as regular W-2 employment has been around for a long time.

It's great to hear your watch never dies on you, and you never have to worry about its battery. Surely you've worried about your phone, laptop, or headphones/earbuds batteries before -- if you want to sympathize, it's kind of like any of those. It adds to the list of devices you worry about. Subtracting from that list means less worries.

Both mobile number portability and SIM swap are stupidly insecure in the US. In every other country, you need to initiate the port with your current provider - usually by sending a text from your phone. Over here, I can do it from the receiving provider and that makes it really easy to bypass security checks. Similarly for SIM swaps - there's very little security and social engineering will do the job of bypassing it.

I see plenty of people suggesting we don't give phone numbers at all. That's not very convenient for most people. I consider myself savvy and use 2FA and password managers ...etc. But by the time I realized this issue, I had given my phone number to most important services.

This and spam are two very serious issues in the US that's already solved in most countries of the world.
For me, that page doesn't show any data, just a popup saying I need to become a member. I did find this link:

https://www.perficientdigital.com/insights/our-research/mobi...

It says in 2018, mobile was 58% and desktop 42%. Optimizing for the 58% is fine, but when it comes at the expense of the 42% it is harder to justify just handwaving it away.

More interestingly, the above page indicates that while there are a greater number of mobile visits, they don't stay as long and are twice as likely to "bounce", which I infer means leave the page before spending any significant time.

So by those metrics, although desktop users are fewer, they spend more total time. Again, ignoring their scrolling preferences to optimize for mobile seems questionable.
Your life or death scenario is an edge case with its own special complexities which should not be lumped in with discussions of the vastly voluntary choices we can make. Healthcare is heavily regulated as we all know. This raises the barrier to entry to new competitors, and leads to a less dynamic market where the status quo can last a long long time. So you end up with only 1 or a very small number of medical devices (with the associated software) for a given situation.

I would expect that the greater debate on privacy will, over time, hopefully lead to some changes in how we are able to control the data generated by our bodies. Until that happens, I’m going to take the thing that saves my wife’s life with the potential for some shadiness or simple distaste at what may happen to her data, or, I might look at it as her voluntary consent which was fully given with her and my knowledge well ahead of time — helps to save others lives, and some loss of control of that data is actually quite noble.

As you might guess, I started at the abstract, but ended up at the concrete, and my wife really does have such a device, similar to your example. And I also work in big data analytics industry, and get involved in these sorts of discussions pretty often.
Wouldn't the point of running in Docker still be to guarantee version, environment, and config compatibility?

If Cachet is doing that then I'm very glad. I don't know what their legal obligations look like, but I imagine they could have said "We weren't paid to perform our service" and left the employees without a paycheck.

I wonder what'd the courts would say if Uber decided to charge a nominal fee (say $1/year) for the driver app in the App Store? That would make it more obvious that it's a piece of software that is being licensed by drivers for lead generation.

It doesn't appear to me that the parent implied that these salaries come from thin air. It seems much more obvious that this person is pointing out just how disproportionate it is compared to other very crucial professions, with no obvious labor differences for why this is.

Chalking it up to it being the "market rate" sort of ignores how the market has failed for these other professions. They have to deal with the cost of living just like people in tech. The issue with the new grads, as the parent pointed out, is the attitude. Most could care less about this. That deserves critique.

I should also add that this dynamic does play out in other parts of the country. In other states in the US with much lower costs of living, nurses and teachers for example still have an average salary that is much lower than that of those in the tech industry, especially software development.
> As a minor example, consider how cookie prompts solved nothing.

(Disclaimer: not a lawyer)

I don't know about the original cookie law, but as for the horrible GDPR prompts, the GDPR is not mandating those at all - in fact, there is language in there that could be interpreted as forbidding them (denial of consent must not make the service unusable).

However, the GDPR goes head-on against the main business model conducted on the web and I imagine for many companies, fulfilling the GDPR in good faith is simply not possible because it would threaten the core of their business. So they add the prompts as something between a loophole and a cargo-cult action.

So yes, I think the tension between the GDPR and the tech business models is real and likely leads to unnecessary prompts as a result - but it's not as is the lawmakers demanded the prompts to be there.

Typically a recession is defined by having at least 2 quarters of decreased GDP growth, so it is often a lagging indicator. By the time we definitively know we are in a recession...we've already been in it for 6 months. That is to say that I'm not sure how good of an indicator a rolling average of unemployment is, especially in a gig-economy sort of market. But I agree, using indicators to predict a recession is basically an educated guess, with little emphasis on the educated part.

Normally there is a vesting period before you can sell any equity.

Get $50k in equity ($100 per share), but you can only sell 1/3 each of the next 3 years. Stock price drops to $50 means you now have $25k of equity.

If it’s options it may mean you get $0.

MailGirl – A RESTful service for sending templated emails upon request
I worked in that industry during that time period and its just not true that no one came forward. As early as 2003 Warren Buffett straight up called them “weapons of financial destruction”. In 2005, the World Bank released a report suggesting that the derivatives the banks were holding could cause a financial crisis.

I remember the day the yield curve inverted in 2005 because I was working for a company that made risk assessment software for MBS. Our call center blew up as the reports started showing how risky balance sheets were.

It’s a nice story that Michael Lewis writes in “The Big Short” about how only a few people made money shorting the crisis but a) its largely not true and b) its more the fact that shorting isn’t nearly as easy as HN seems to think it is.

Yes, which is why Ray Dalio has done just that
"The indicator has both correctly signaled a recession 4–5 months following the beginning of the recession and has virtually never called a recession incorrectly since 1970.'

This is more like "how will we know when a recession has already started without waiting for a down GDP for two quarters." That's 6 months in. This signal lets you know 4-5 months in. Not exactly a leading indicator.
4-Star Admiral Says UFO Sightings Occurred over a “Finite Period”
FX trader here. I do trade daily for the last 18 months, mostly algo, and it IS possible to make profit every single day. Just aim for 0.1% per day and you are set for life. You aim for the 0.1% of your capital, so when the market goes against you, you got enough margin to keep the account alive.

Anton Kreil has a good video (I will add it later - walking now) that tells the tale how the markets are set up to rip you off/apart. He mentions the 90-90-90 rule.

90% of retail traders lose 90% of their capital every 90 days. I have seen this happening so many times to retail traders who want to get rich in a week that I just stopped talking to other traders because they never learn their lesson.

Edit: Anton Kreil's video on how the system is stacked up against 'you'. He of course also sells the 'secret recipe' to win!!

Shooting up? Dude works at Pinterest, and Pinterest stock has actually been falling recently.

Five thousand dollars a month is rolling in cash for anywhere. This is the type of attitude I'm talking about in my other comment in this thread. There's an incredible loss of perception when it comes to SVers and what constitutes a lot of money and what doesn't. An extra $5k a month is more than the entire salary of the average American household. Hell, it's almost more than the average SF income!
As regards to the hour claim, if the law goes into effects, what would happen to those drivers who can't drive 40 hours per week?
I calculate it to take about a year, with 1 g acceleration, but don't take my word for it, am curious to compare with a more authoritative answer.
Unlocked bootloaders everywhere would be nice but there are already manufacturers that give you that across the range. The big issue is that none of the drivers are upstream so even with LineageOS you're stuck on and old and often unpatched kernel. When a new Android version comes around it's common for support to be dropped for devices. Right now there's no Ubuntu-like experience with Android. Get a Pixel or an Android One phone if you care at all about security and access to new Android versions.
It's always kindof annoyed me they don't offer a u2f auth mechanism. Can't be that hard for a company of that size.
If you're vesting enough equity, your brokerage is only holding on to 22% and you don't have enough of your salary withheld, it's very possible to end up with a marginal rate that is in the high 20s or low 30s, and not enough tax paid.

This can happen without triggering the 110% of previous year portion if you're regularly vesting a lot of equity - the more you vest, the farther 22% is going to be from your actual marginal tax rate.

I used single quotes instead of double quotes around "just handled" to quote the idea and summary of what you were saying - that it would be handled automatically by the brokerage - and not as a direct quote

It adequately demonstrates that “dis-” does not necessarily imply anything more than “not”, which is all the weight it needs to carry in this discussion about whether “dischuffed” must, because of the prefix, mean “formerly chuffed but no longer”, instead of merely “not chuffed”.
There's no disagreement between your post and the one you're replying to. You charge your pencil often, and you have never run out of battery. That says nothing about whether you'd have lots of issue if you couldn't snap it to the side to charge, and had to put intentional effort into charging it.
