So I'm still here. Cite your sources. I am curious because I've heard that before in articles without references. Is it BoL statistics?

Again I've read flattering headlines but not sure where raw data comes from, and I also said to a parent unemployment rates do not signify a lot to me as an adult as a positive absolute measure where underemployment and real social issues are brushed under the rug as part of number shuffling to stroke political egos. Hence I want to know data points.

I think we can agree the disinterest or avoidance on both sides of the American political spectrum in analyzing factual data and not leaning on sound bites is a problem.

Please reference your sources. I am interested.
This is a good point. Given the unreliability of voice recognition, an app would be preferable. But also, even a touchscreen where you can select your order would be a better idea.
'Protections' have, throughout history, negatively impacted the workers. Minimum wage laws, which artifically inflated the cost of low skill labour, resulted in a drastic drop in teenagers being hired - with black teenagers being disproportionately affected. Americans with Disabilities Act, which forced employers to accomodate people with disabilities if they hire them, resulted in less employment for that group. Unions have resulted in MILLIONS of manufacturing jobs leaving the country. And things like this are just going to usher in automation at a faster rate.

California is, yet again, placing policies into place that will further tank their economy while, yet again, thinking its doing the right thing and happy because they can act morally superior.
It's still got nothing to do with actual feudalism...

Yes it has. Feudalism was that exactly: all society, from bottom to top was based on individual asymetrical pacts between two parts, the vassal and the lord. This kind of relation existed between peasants and lords and between lesser and greater lords.
i thought this was going to be one of those

Regular customers definitely have an air of celebrity about them.
I know very little about any of this stuff, but it occurred to me that Apple already has a few technologies in play by which devices can sense the layout of their surroundings: HomePod can determine its proximity to walls by listening to how sound reverberates in a space, and iPhones map depth by comparing data between by dual cameras as well as by dot projection. Could these technologies potentially be used to eliminate or reduce the need for multiple UWB devices?

> I'd never afford a million dollar mortgage.

Well if HN is to be believed, $350K of total compensation isn’t out of the ordinary for FAANG, so that would get you in a million dollar house.

Never seems to occur to anyone that crazy high salaries might be driving crazy high housing prices, not the other way around, though...
> due all machinery necessary to setup and start OS thread

The machinery to start an OS thread is on the order of magnitude of nanoseconds. Starting an OS thread far cheaper than printing a line to stdout, for example.

OS threads are only a problem in interpreted languages, because all of them have a global interpreter lock of some sort.

For compiled native languages OS threads are more efficient than green threads.
A stance in the middle would apply to just these ADUs specifically, because they are somewhere in the middle between;

a) renting out a room in your house (where fair housing laws already don't apply) and,

b) renting out a fully distinct dwelling unit, where fair house laws definitely apply and serve an important function.

ADUs are always going to be a small percentage of the overall housing market, so lessening housing regulations around ADUs specifically is definitely not the same as abolishing fair housing laws entirely.
I mean this is really just a substanceless metaphor that you’ve come up with. Your definition of economics is also just flat out wrong. Economies are comprised entirely of economic actors interacting with each other. Every economic agent is either a human being, or a collection of human beings. There are no non-human economic agents, and there are no human non-economic-agents.
Should software engineers be certified? (2016)
Fair point. I'd meant to add "inside the US". The warrant hypo strongly implies this, though as you note, needn't necessarily.

Though outside the US, the NSA doesn't require a FISA warrant to intercept data, nor does it face any US legal restrictions on doing so.
The project provides prebuilt images for all the common distros: https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/

Use them in one command. For example:

lxc launch images:debian/sid/amd64

Ubuntu, which I believe is the most popular image base in Docker, ships official cloud images, and you can also use these in one command:

lxc launch ubuntu:bionic
The repairability of the fairphone seems to be more a side project - the real aim of the company is to ensure a 'fair' smartphone in the sense of 'fair'trade: fair labour practices in the production, traceable raw materials that don't support slavery/war/etc. They set up whole certification processes in industries where those didn't exist yet.

The fair towards users regarding repairability is just an additional positive.
Coal's share of net electricity generation in Iowa declined from 76% in 2008 to 45% in 2018, but coal is still the state's largest source of net electricity generation. 45% is very little indeed.

Please fact check your claims next time.

California produces 28000 MW of renewables total which is way more than Iowa. California Coal power mix was about 3%, and lower in my community
It's cold calculated and willful. It's just too damn easy to sidestep the law in this matter.
The fact that you're bing down voted is beyond me.

My wife describes engineers as 'smartdumb'.

We're super smart at figuring out technical solutions that enable things like social media, ridesharing and short term rentals.

But we're either willfully ignorant or just plain dumb about the second order effects on society.

And you know what you call it when people discuss the social good? Politics.

That very thing that coincidentally we're not supposed to talk about on this site.
I'm not suggesting that we don't address the giant disaster of millions dying from malaria. There is another solution right now: mass produce malaria drugs. How far down would that drive the death toll I wonder.
Is .Net better regarded than Java in Europe?
Good news! The "C" means you can have the final word.
I know right? Runescape back in the day was the perfect sandbox to learn these lessons. I remember lending out my expensive sword to an online "friend" who promptly logged off and blocked me. Lesson learned.

Nowadays all these sorts of transactions have been shifted into auction house-like marketplaces to prevent abuse. I think taking out this human interaction component does more harm than good, especially bundled with the new ability to (legitimately) buy game money for real cash. The adversary moved from other players taking your ingame stuff, to the game's maintainer itself taking real world money.
> The only motivation your ISP has for logging this is making money; if getting the information is too tedious and expensive why would they bother?

I used to work at an ISP.

We configured (wrote policy language for) our DPI platforms to do header inspection of all HTTPS traffic to measure customer experience to different websites, to improve the customer experience.

The raw data was (theoretically) accessible to ~4 people and deleted as soon as ETL had succeeded, and the anonymised results (aggregated only by region, product etc.) were available to the operations team (another ~8) and product management (~4).

This complies with our countries personal information regulations.

Mozilla proponents seem to be quite anti-ISP.

Why is that?

>> What happens if they get a FISA warrant?

> They have to follow the law? Wrong threat model.

If this happens for non-US citizens, this is violation of privacy laws of the affected user.

If this is rolled out, I will either ensure my distro switches this off by default, or have to consider changing browsers (away from Firefox).
A fun read! Instead of actually designing the pipeline for detection one can just throw up a ML model (or many) and see what happens very quickly. The virtue signaling was pretty annoying though.

More or less the only benefit you got from Edison was being x86.

...and Intel missed the point that x86 without the rest of the PC isn't that great. I suspect if the Edison was actually PC-compatible (to the point of e.g. being able to boot DOS and older Windows and run their applications) it would've had far more popularity (retro-gaming, etc.) than yet-another-maker-toy.
If people learnt not to gamble by gambling there would be nobody with gambling problems. Teaching kids how not to gamble by gambling can be pretty bad for people who have addictive personalities, getting that gambling high and wanting to replicate that again and again.

Teaching your kid it is a waste of money and not to endorse that practice might be a better choice.

I know that this sounds unfair/bad - but it brings up something I never thought about with EVs. With many states a huge portion of the taxes that support the road infrastucture comes from the gas taxes. With EVs not filling up at the pump - how can states ensure they pay their share to keep the roads maintained?

Gas taxes are nice because they ensure that even people travelling into your state help pay for the roads they are using. If you just charge higher tax at registration you can't capture any of that revenue.
SVD has been used for dimensionality reduction of co-occurrence matrices for ages [1], but the resulting word embeddings aren't as performant as those of word2vec/etc. The same is probably true of using PCA.

Word2vec's popularity is the result of people valuing performance (i.e. accuracy) more than interpretability.

I'm working on this to add TOTP support, I will publish it when it's ready, you may be able to reuse some parts of the implementation.
I think ultimately, we'll have to tax the electricity used for electric vehicles, as at least over here(UK) roads are almost entirely maintained from fuel taxes and those will keep shrinking with every year. I imagine that the car will have its own meter and you will have to report it every now and then, just like we already do with gas and electricity at home already. Or maybe all chargers will be required to know that this electricity is charged at a different tariff than the rest. We already do it with regular diesel and diesel for non-motoring use after all.

If someone called a haircut feudalistic because it was bad then that’s dumbing down words to just good or bad.

Calling a type of employment relationship feudalistic because of the amount of power the employer has is at least somewhat descriptive.
Least concerned with? Have you already forgotten about Snowden? Do you know about Five Eyes (or even Fourteen Eyes)? In Canada they outsource surveillance of Canadians to overseas Five Eyes partner agencies so they evade their own privacy laws. It's reasonable to assume that other Five Eyes countries do the same.
There are numbers in the article.

So pay up front on the more expensive phone is $149 for 24 months or $7.99 monthly. 24 x $7.99 = $191.76 (42.76 more than up front). But what for the American Express customer, buying the phone. He or she gets the Apple 2 years plus 2 years from Amex so 48 months of coverage for the original $149 vs $383.52 paid via subscription (a $234.52 savings).

Someone keeping the phone the full 60 months it receives support from Apple would pay a total of $479.40 in AppleCare+ premiums. They did get an extra year of support from Apple vs that of the American Express customer paying up front at an effective aggregate cost of (479.4−149)/12 = $27.53 per month in the final year for coverage.

The American Express customer must of course also be saving for the replacement of his or her iPhone in 48 - 60 months. Presuming he or she wants to have the cash ready if the phone dies in month 49, they must be setting aside (999 × 1.08) ÷ 48 = $22.48/month for 48 months and then can coast for the final 12 months maybe earning a little interest before buying the new phone released in September 2024.

They also compare prices to Milan with Rome. Milan is about 600 km more north than Rome, its about a 6 hour drive if everything works out. Nobody who wants to go to Rome would fly to Milan.
And portable , but if it doesn't have enough resources to face the web securely, what is the point. Running your operating system from SD is just terrible, even USB is more reliable. x86 means getting a bluetooth keyboard to work doesn't involve a long walkthrough that doesn't always work.

> You claimed to be thankful for not being "double-taxed", from which I inferred you're a Canadian

It's not "double-taxed", it's double-taxed. The U.S. system in fact makes it possible for the same income to be taxed twice at the full rate. And you didn't need to infer that I'm Canadian, I said it right in my comment.

I'm thankful I'm covered by the Canadian agreements, which allow me to credit my Canadian tax payments against (most of) my U.S. tax liability. I still have to file taxes in the U.S. like every other U.S. citizen, I still have to file FBARs with FinCEN like every U.S. citizen. I still have to pay Canadian taxes like everyone else who makes Canadian-source income, I still must pay the OHP like every Ontarian, I still must pay into CPP even though I may never be able to take it. Even if I didn't make Canadian-source income I would still be paying property taxes either directly or indirectly, paying sales taxes every time I bought something other than groceries, and that's where the roads and the schools get their money; though because of some combination of my personality and the quality of the schools I never did get more than primary school out of the system here before I left to work and began paying net taxes in my second year of full time employment.

I don't know why you're being so hostile. If somehow this arrangement allowed me to not pay taxes lawfully, how would that be my fault? It would be all of ours.

Frankly it's appalling that they manage to make things cost enough to justify these taxes, especially as every Canadian sees these obscene transfers of wealth from every taxpayer to Bombardier, the leniency extended to SNC Lavalin, the "equalization" process by which unproductive Canadians feast on productive ones for the privilege of living in equal comfort without ever considering moving for work; but I do pay them, you're welcome.
Saying "7% on top of that is still a quite sizable increase" is not a fact, it's an opinion. Furthermore it's like my employer telling me "you should take this 7% raise and be happy even if the market dictates a 20% raise. It's still a quite sizable increase".

Then you make an ad-hominem argument about landlords being hypocrites which isn't relevant. Landlords act in the best interest of landlords.

I don't yet know what I think about the bill so I'm reading the HN comments to form an opinion. The points you're making aren't very convincing.

One possible scenario is if a landlord purchased property at a price factoring in assuming certain increases in rent, then they’re constrained by the debt payments.

For most people, if you can't trust your ISP, you have bigger problems.

For people who can trust their ISP, why should we all by default be affected by the fact that the Mozilla developers seem to all live in a non-free or non-democratic country.

Maybe they should instead focus on fixing the US political system that results in their current situation, rather than trying to use technical means to solve political problems.

How to identify the successful subject between two subjects by using the net?
Hi! An idea of question which popped up on my mind got me wondering how to find the correct answer. We all know ofcourse that there is always a success and a failure so this question which is probably about identifying success when the those two subjects comes our way has got me very curious about finding a perfect answer. That is because the subject of failure always comes in disguise to rob you of the more success you want to become. How do i obviously identify the right one, especially using the internet?

I welcome input from even very junior people on my team. But important advice: if your idea is (respectfully) rejected by your team lead, then let it go. Don't try to passive aggressively (or openly) push for your idea after that time.
You want to tax the amount of electricity used though. 1 mile travelled accelerator to the floor vs 1 mile travelled gently at 5mph will use very different amounts of energy. And I mean it would be trivial for the car to keep track of the number of kWh used.
Yep. Basically these flights are legs of flights with a stopover at intermediate destinations, and airlines will sell tickets all the way or for both individual legs at whatever price they think will maximise their revenue. For example I once flew London to Bangkok with EVA Airways of Taiwan, whilst most of the other passengers on the flight continued to Taipei (and some other passengers would have bought Bangkok to Taipei tickets). You can fly London-Taipei nonstopThe stopping route probably suited the airline as they had some demand from London and Bangkok to Taipei but not necessarily enough to fill separate aircraft from both destinations with the same frequency. Same goes for a Madrid to Quito flight stopping over at Bogota I once took - the aircraft could definitely have flown nonstop to Quito, but the airline would have found the more convoluted route easier to make a profit on due to relatively low demand to get to Ecuador.

Sometimes this means a better deal than shorter haul flights so the airline can fill seats on their less popular leg, sometimes it's actually worse (especially if you're a frequent flyer more likely to have miles or offers with your local carrier). As the article points out, stopping flights also getting rarer as aircraft range increases and passenger demand increases because most people would prefer to fly London to Sydney without an hour in Singapore, and airlines find it much easier to fill flights to individual international destinations.
