That's not the point though. Having an honest relationship with your employees and treating everybody fairly doesn't prevent you from profiting.

It think this point is explained really well in the article: why should someone who lives in a city with a high cost of living be paid more than someone who lives in a low cost of living one? Effectively, what you are doing is giving the person in, say, SF, more money to be able to afford a better lifestyle than the person in rural Ohio (to use the same example of the article). Why is that fair? And also, if that is fair, then is me moving to live on a yacht in Montecarlo a reason for the company to pay me 500k a year to afford that lifestyle?

Workers should be paid fairly. And to do that you have to pay everybody the highest salary you are paying for that position. I think Stackoverflow does that now, I remember reading an article on their blog about it.
> We waited an unusually long time to decide on an exchange.

Sentences like these make skimming pretty hard. It made me re-read the entire article because I was confused about the who is the author.
Exactly. Denmark has little bargaining power compared to what a larger US state would have. But they do bulk purchases and get prices thereafter.
My best understanding is the following:

Given the proprietary model and pricing, they have not seen the adoption they were hoping for for offerings like Wolfram Cloud. As you mentioned, FOSS tooling in the meanwhile has been slowly and steadily becoming good enough, though still far behind the commercial offering from them.

The current release announcement however may not be related to the above. Wolfram Language has had natural language capabilities for quite some time now, so the said release seems to be a natural extension.

It's a great product. I just hope they are able to lower the prices drastically while still hitting their margins via increased sales.
Most people who live in big cities in the EU dont have a house (and they make up >50% of the population). They live in apartments. Isnt this the case for the USA too?
Every time we put my son onto or into a bike, I'm reminded of the impossibility of our existence.
It does look like the latest iPhone is playing catch-up with its 3 cameras. Personally I prefer the design of the Huawei P30 Pro, though, so I'd say that Huawei has out-cooled Apple.
If you're discussing "ought tos" I think it makes sense to include in that talk of externalities.
> It's not "from scratch" if it's using OpenCV, TensorFlow, and a web service to do all of the work.

To be fair, the web service (for which this article appears to be inbound marketing) is optional and presented as an alternative to building anything at all.
And the public transport bikes you can hire for a couple of euro per 24hr are very popular. This way you can do the last part of your journey easily without taking you're own bike on the train. (This is actually cheaper as well, since the price of renting the bike is lower than the price of bringing your own bike on the train)
> How could the OS predict how much to load (or wait on)?

The same way it does for every other bit of allocated memory: it allocates the physical page on a page fault in a valid mapping.
Why not just use a stock Linux distro, and maybe just change the wallpaper to something Huawei-specific? Add a desktop shortcut to some special Huawei-specific app store, if they want, but keeping the OS stock pretty much signals that they really couldn't care less about putting in bloatware, backdoors, malware or similar, which would be a very welcome change in the OEM equipment world.

I'd suggest Ubuntu, because of it's popularity and non-tech-user-friendliness, then again I'm not sure if they're allowed to do that, since Canonical Ltd. and Trump, thus, depsite open-source, possibly also requires special licenses, IDK (e.g. I once wanted to install OpenSUSE and then there was something in the licensing agreement about EAR directives from the US, so I cancelled that).

I've never heard of Deepin Linux, is it popular in mainland China?

Apart from that, there've always been a steady stream of Laptops available with Linux, it's not a novelty item... many of those that are advertised as "non-OS" often have some form of Linux bundled in, just in case.
The Prius used to have an option for a solar panel roof before (the article mentions this) - and all the tiny panel was used for was to run the cabin fan to keep the cabin a bit cooler if you ended up parking in the sun.

The difference with the cells in the article is they are 0.03mm thick so they don't weigh as much and can be curved around more car body parts.
Do you live in Europe? Schengen is only about passport control at the border, but any EU citizen had the right to work in the UK, no visa required. Eastern European workers lowering wages and quality of work for most British tradesmen and low skilled workers is probably the main reason for Brexit.
Google Makes Big Change to Nofollow Links, Introduces 2 New Link Attributes
I' guessing this is sarcasm as most private transport infrastructure is already "free". Roads, bridges, traffic lights, street lights, some car parks, snow clearing, etc...

Even in the US, the majority of education provision is free or subsidised, and 19% of Americans have free or subsidised healthcare.

Social democracies believe that our large, common problems should have common solutions which benefit everyone and society as a whole. That's nothing to do with communism.
I like your style. Mine is why is the kissing number for circles in the plane 6? Why is it even an integer? Seems totally rigged!
What's the sense that you are seeing?
I don't see value in keeping the C standard library small in this regard, since everybody is going anyway to implement this kind of code from scratch, it's like not having stdio.h for FILE* operations. However... the library you linked is surely a good pick according to me since I'm the author myself :-D
Product manager feels like he/she needs to micromanage 9-5 standing next to your desk? Sounds like someone is trying to do or justify a job that is not really needed in 2019.

You could easily manage people in distributed teams and a lot of companies are doing that. How else you manage a team in a company that is operating in 5-10-20-30 countries? :-D

No value comes from many different reasons and one of those is a new value generated from the combination of efforts of many individual contributors. The individual value which someone brings doesn't equal the end value which is being delivered to a customer. The essence of a business is generating new value to end consumers which an individual couldn't do on their own.
However, wouldn't the hydraulic + operator version be a) cheaper to develop and b) less complex to build and maintain (useful when deployed) ? I think there is a good case for KISS here.

Webinar on EV Adoption and Power Demand Challenges
Is our present electricity grid capable of supplying electricity to cater to such huge demand? Electric Mobility Forum by WRI India is continuing its mission of expanding EV knowledge base in the country, and in this latest webinar, experts from GIZ and PRDC will discuss the "Impact of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging on the Local Grid" based on a study they performed to understand this topic. The webinar is scheduled on 16th of September 2019, 3 pm to 4 pm and the registration is absolutely free for the interested participants.

That would be more like 4 hours. A car solar panel would be horizontal, and it wouldn't track the sun when it's lower on the horizon. The 200W figure is only for noon.

It absolutely can be. The reason you don’t get colonoscopies until you’re in you’re 40s isn’t because they’re not fun. It’s because the risk of a false positive times the negative consequences thereof outweighs the benefit of you finding something early. People are wierd gooey lumps of random stuff. Scan anyone and you’ll find something out of place. The vast majority is irrelevant until some break even point where it’s not. Hence the recommendations and guidelines.
So if a Taiwanese dislikes the Chinese (government policy) or does not trust software "Made in China" she or he is racist?

Mostly I agree. But: we can keep our energy curve growing for a bit longer, if we branch out into the local space around us. No worries about boiling the ocean, when the energy stays in orbit.

Accurate screen emulation is important for many retro games, and not just because of color issues. For instance the GameBoy didn't support transparency so some clever devs would make sprites blink very fast to make them appear transparent. Since the GameBoy screen had a fairly slow response time the ghosting would effectively blend the sprite with the background. If you emulate the game on a modern low-latency monitor you just get a flickering sprite. See for instance the claw's shadow in this gameplay video for Link's Awakening: https://youtu.be/UQlP9sHf5Ho?t=825 (although this video is way worse that what you'd see in an emulator because the framerate of the video doesn't line up with the GB's ~60fps display, so it doesn't even flicker all the time).

An other example is games using the blurriness of analog video signals to blend things together: https://www.retrorgb.com/hd-retrovison-shows-transparency-co...

Basically you interlace two images at a high enough frequency and let the analog artifacts blend them. Once again doing playing that on a modern LCD screen without post-processing ruins the effect.
No, Heidegger explicitly attempts to refute and attack Descartes's supposition "cogito ergo sum" (the first therefore). And one can read all of Heidegger's early philosophy as an attempt to undo the errors started by Descartes: Heidegger faults Descartes with stymieing all of modern philosophy with a false first presupposition.

Heidegger's fault with Descartes lies in the very first two words: "I think." Heidegger does not believe that the "I" (Dasein/Being) is the thing that thinks (directly at least). In Descartes' world, humans are "res cogitans" ("thinking machines"): the "I" is that which thinks. For Descartes, there is some thing that is doing the thinking. In Heidegger's world, there is not some mysterious being that thinks, but rather the "I" is the experiencing/thinking itself (the "thrown-openness"). This is why Heidegger always uses verbs/gerunds to describe Being.

For Heidegger, the simple statement "I think" cannot possibly be true because there is no "I" behind the thinking. For Heidegger, the analog basic first-claim would instead simply be: "there is thinking" (the "ego"/"I" as we think about it is the "thinking" itself for Heidegger).
Sorry but it just seemed odd I didn't see a mention for GIL (global interpreter lock).

Because of this mechanism that ensures concurrency safety Python does not support parallel execution of threads.
I am wondering if the rest of the HN community finds it as a major disadvantage.
Salaries are based on supply and demand. Think this one through with that in mind and it'll make more sense.
The extra value generated from the combination of efforts is still generated by the workers who combined their effort to generate it. Why are the owners more deserving of that "extra value" than the workers?
I've always felt that the lesson in the Halting Problem was that you should write programs that a theoretical P would be able to take in as data and calculate an answer. It's easy to make computers blow up but hard to make them useful. That's why we have well paying jobs managing them.
“The workplaces that will pay for surrogacy”
A reason I was told is that if you pay the same rate everywhere then someone in a 3rd world country could hate the job and be not very motivated but won't quit because it pays more than any other job.
> I don't think there's anything dark about games being addictive. They should be, otherwise they're boring.

I don't think that's the case at all, since you'd be playing the game because you're addicted, not because you're having fun.

Why couldn't you enjoy a game without being addicted to it?
So, how do you calculate value for developer?
I've no problem consuming Chinese consumables, but software is another issue.

If some software from the US or EU was up to no good, I can use the law to bring them to court. In China, I'd first need to ask myself, if not maybe the lawmakers themselves requested the software to do no good.

EDIT: The same could also be said for US/EU governments, yes, but it is more subtle here (i.e. they label you a criminal/terrorist to legitimate installing e.g. a trojan on your PC, whereas, if I'm not mistaken, in China they could just make it a law to have trojans installed on every PC), so I still feel like the law somewhat protects my rights.
I wish more people would respond to this comment rather than debate the benefits of putting solar on a ferry. Is there data on the avg commute distance in different cities? 50km seems like a significant distance and could cover a large number of commuters.
But the IPhone is better though because it's Apple! /s
If, on the other hand the solar panel would unfold during parking over the parking space (like spacecraft unfold their solar panels in orbit), you could get about 5 times more power... and you car would always be in the shade.
But that's the point. Ratios are really hard to reason about.

Your mind sees the 5% going to 1% (or the 95% going to 99%) and thinks it's a small difference. When in actuality it's a big change.
Ask HN: What are some of your recent failures?
After asking this question at indie hackers, I would like to know if anyone over here would like to share recent lessons from failures.

Let's celebrate failures & grow.
I think the American culture of "being tough on crime" was a reaction to the insanity of the 70s counter-revolutionary movements. In 1972 there were over 1900 domestic bombings in the US alone (https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/).
In the United States, the media has done a great job in portraying China as a thief of secrets. Over the years, there's been numerous stories of Chinese hackers stealing government info, spyware on Lenovo laptops, or Huawei employees attempting to steal samples and prototypes. I'm sure we do stuff just as bad, but I'm ashamed to admit that I'm hesitant to adopt a device that came from a Chinese company now.. which is what I think that statement is referring to.
The author keep using the word "easy". I don't think we have the same definition of that word.

A cursory read of the article is enough to gather a main point, which should be a disclaimer: it's aimed at medium/big companies that have significant security threat model and have a dedicated sysadmin team.

If you have neither, this is adding operational complexity for no real gain. When your threat model is small, potential attackers are not sophisticated enough to target SSH access. And configuring this and properly using it is a big waste of time. You might even lock yourself out of your servers because of a mistake or lost keys (that's my biggest fear which prevents me from ever switching to certificates unless I get a dedicated sysadmin).

Yeah there are benefits, but they are just too abstract to bother for small companies.
That's psychologically fascinating, it's like your subconscious needed the escapism. You just needed something that wasn't day to day life for just a few hours a day. There's something in that, for sure.
In-phony-tesimal, I like that word.
It's not like they don't have the ingredients.. and I'm expressly asking them to give me less of them, not adding any.

It's not like being pissed off because something isn't in the color I want. Product colors and manufacturing are hard problems... getting a fast food order right isn't.

The problem is the younger generations don't give a damn about their quality of work.
On technical origins of F-35 - https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Lockheed-Martin-fund-Yak-141/a... . Many people don't know the story and thus are naturally puzzled where such a piece of wonder for a fighter as F-35 is coming from.
Note that the solar panels are not necessarily the primary energy source, they can do trickle-charging, range extension and/or emergency recharge / supply (e.g. when you've run out).

These are roughly the use cases lightyear one tends to cover, under a somewhat ideal 12km/h WLTP (that is in good sun the panels can charge 12km worth of WLTP range per hour, which can extend the range during a drive, recharge a parked car or let you drive at 10~12km/h when the batteries have run out).
But as an employer, why I should strive for honestness? Does it bring me more profit? To me it sounds like paying too much. I pay market rates which doesnt consider cost of living or value produced, but the the average salary for the skillset/experience.
Chinese or Chinese government policy? That's not the same. Also there is no need to try to come up with contrived examples or straw man arguments.

Claiming that "it's not against the Chinese but against their government" is also sometimes a convenient and not completely honest way to deflect claims of racism. The same happens with Israel and it can be quite insiduous.

When people have to notice and discuss the Chinese origin of everything, all the time, "but just because of the Chinese government's policies" in my view they complain too much...

And when it's not the government, it's pollution, or IP theft, or because they eat dogs (in some part of the country), or whatnot.

I got it wrong the first time, then got it at the second take, thought I had it wrong again reading your comment and turned around again. The writing was weirdly misleading.

> Solar panels, even at high noon, usually only produce about 200 watt-hours per square meter.

> The most efficient production electric vehicles today (probably the Hyundai Ioniq and the Tesla Mod 3) would only be able to travel 2–4 miles on that amount of electricity…in an hour. Most people could walk faster.

From what I get:

- in the best conditions the panels could produce 200W in an hour

- 200W would allow for 2-4miles on the most efficient cars

The author's point seems to be that if the solar panel was the only source of energy the car would be slower that walking. It's different from seeing it as an additional source of electricity, just like regenerative braking is for instance.
correct.. the dip cups are ~1g carbs per cup, the salad dressing packets are around 12g (mostly sugars) iirc.
> Why ?

Because you don't get to decide whether you think it's worth it or not.

If the bus is too expensive, you can walk, or cycle, or use a car, or just not go on the journey. If the tax is too expensive, you have no recourse, you have to pay it anyway.

And "if the tax is too expensive then write to your local politician" is not an answer. Even if I'm the only person in the world who thinks the bus is too expensive, I still have the option not to use the bus. But if I'm the only person in the world who thinks the tax is too expensive, too bad, I just have to pay it.
I can tell you these unhappy unmotivated overpaid people are everywhere. It is fairly easy to overcompensate and it can be quite a problem.
Thanks for confirming my point. A personal vehicle capable of effortlessly transporting you, four passengers and ample luggage across thousands of miles at 70mph+ isn't even luxury!
Both remote employers I've had so far have paid me a monthly lump sum for my internet connection (covering more than the actual costs). And I've always had a company PC. You're right about rent etc. though.
I thought of that example, too, but thought that it had been cancelled as unsuccessful.

Turns out it was cancelled for mainly other reasons. Quoting [1]: "By late 2015, the Marines had put the LS3 into storage because of limitations with the robot including loud noise, challenges in repairing it if it breaks, and how to integrate it into a traditional Marine patrol"

"Could you elaborate on this or add a link to an article that explores this under-mentioned reason as one of the contributing factors for the UK's decision to pull out of the EU?"

I did not make this statement. But

1. I once saw a graph that showed that the re-rise of the UK strongly correlated with oil production. The correlation does not imply causation but it was quite stunning. I looked several times for the article but did not find it again. But it made me always doubt that it was only Thatchers reforms the reinvented the UK.

2. I did not say that the UK is pulling out of the EU because of sinking oil revenues. But please consider the article that I already posted:
https://hbr.org/2019/08/did-austerity-in-the-uk-lead-to-the-...

So there may be a connection (less social services, less income from oil, frustrated people). London voted to stay, it was poor areas that voted "leave".
The estimates of externalities related to CO2 emissions range between $0.10-0.50 per gallon, so they can hardly make much of a difference here. Cars cause more congestion, but the cost of congestion is mostly in time wasted in traffic, and if we actually grade cars vs public transit on time wasted, cars win easily because public transit is slow.
Workers should not be expected to be paid "fairly" or according to some broader social expectation. The company is not your friend and you are not the company's friend. They are paying you for sacrificing your time for their benefit. You are worth exactly the minimum that you're willing to accept in payment based on your individual circumstances.

U.S. English native.

This ("a female") sounds just fine to me. My friends or I might talk this way amongst ourselves(and no, I'm not talking about an all-male, socially mal-adjusted circle of friends).

It's not what you'd call 100% standard mainstream English, but it's no so far outside the norm that I'd think twice about it either. While it's probably not how I'd teach a non-native to speak, I definitely wouldn't read anything into its use here, either.

Chalk it up to subculture, I suppose, as suggested earlier.
Even if this were true, the only reason to pay remote workers less would be if they directly paid the difference to the PM as compensation.
