It's kinda like asking all the ICE (internal combustion engine) engineers at ford, toyota, nissan, dodge, etc... to stop working on ICE right now because of climate change. Now they can do that, and ask to be re-assigned to EVs, but you can bet they can't replace all those jobs with EV jobs. (at least immediately, maybe in 10 to 20 years)
I was freelance copywriter. I decided to switch because the dynamics of the market for writers are brutal, and I didn't have the passion for it.

I switched to software engineering because there was I good strong likelihood I have a knack for it (turns out I do), that I was going to really enjoy it (turns out I love it deeply), and that there's good money in it (confirmed).

It was a calculated decision, though not a difficult one, and maybe the best I've made in my life so far.
Are there any such regions to begin with? If they were uninhabitable, mosquitoes themselves would be absent, given that they require a blood supply.
So people or governments are not allowed to make mistakes and learn from them? If, apparently, something likewise happened in the past and caused lots of problems, the German government should just let it happen now just so that it isn't 'ironic'?

Not to mention the fact that the German government around the second world war was completely different from the current German government in terms of the actual people making it up.

Is it 'ironic' when governments try to improve equal rights for men and women just because there is oppression of either of the two in their past? What nonsense.
Because every system that needs to return a response within N ms (which is pretty much every app, service, API call, etc) ends up being implemented with synchronous calls, with messaging only used for truly offline bits. There's a good writeup of why here: https://programmingisterrible.com/post/162346490883/how-do-y... , with this great quote: "In practice, a message broker is a service that transforms network errors and machine failures into filled disks".

(I used to work at Twitter, which went through this same transformation, but if you watch tech talks from pretty much any other modern company that it building a big distributed system, you'll see the same pattern.)
A lot of it goes into inflated SF and Seattle real estate. Techies are paid near double there to afford to live there. I wonder what scenarios could dry up VC. ZIRP just seems to be driving more money that way.
From a history perspective : the hyperinflation leading up to the 3rd Reich.
The specific thing people fail to realize is how much oil money was feeding into terrorist groups. If you understand that, you are no longer surprised that they attracted talented (albeit thoroughly evil) people.
The geopolitical implications of this could put up the prices of oil more than the cost of the damage. This could actually be a net benefit for Aramco. The shorters would be better off investing in Tesla and encouraging EVs.
May I suggest that you save your post and look back upon it in 20 years time.

Personally I find swapping around the variable and re-reading things, does help to get a more 360 perspective. So say s/Gen X/Women/, s/millennial/male/ as an example. It's a tip I've learned over my many years that helps to grasp things fairly and helps with many aspects in life to get a fair perspective across to any mindset. Also when you can transpose or flip the variable and come to the same conclusion all the time, then you know that your doing things right and fairly.

That all said, when I was younger I'd laugh at older people who said "School is the best days of your life", then I grew up and appreciated its wisdom more. TAX's alone sure drives that home.

That's a little different- they just want to fly drones around, not blow things up.

Well, those events are anomalies. People usually are surprised by anomalies.
Holy cow, I was not expecting that. Thank you.

TV was/is heavily regulated. And starting a newspaper was much easier than starting a Google or FB competitor is today. IOW, big tech dominates in a way that is more complete, closer to total, than TV and newspapers did.
It is the case. You have just explained part of how that operates (you appear to be incredibly casual about a bureaucrat deciding whether your life will generate a sufficient "return"...is that because you think it can never happen to you?).

But, in addition, the NHS has a fixed policy on whether they will treat certain conditions or not (I know this because I look after a relative with one of these conditions). In the US, you can seek a second opinion (from someone who is very specialist). That doesn't and cannot occur in the UK. You can seek a private opinion but you will be seeing the same doctor (who will likely not know anything beyond NHS policy). The only solution in these cases is (usually) to go to a system that has an active private healthcare market (Germany, the US, Netherlands, etc.).
Mostly agree, definitely agree that Iran meddling was 100% our fault.

If you delete all profiles, you will be rejected on suspicion of being a liar. If you provide original account then something will be found that would displease individual agent, and if you create a new one then it'd be seen attempted deception.

People applying for green card, or even citizenship, all are going to be soon required to do this.

- Suppresses free speech

- Orwellian / slippery slope

- Dependent on subjective judgement of agent

- Suppression of minorities

- Massive false positives
Just guessing by reports that some of them get both lost wildly of course and do strikes wildly off target, and some ran into the ground, which is consistent with, say, few of them being hit by gusts of strong wind which overwhelmed the INS, or some of them getting a freak barometric input.

And unlike with early ICBMs, precise accelerometer and airspeed inputs can provide quite good measure of lateral forces.

Were they had a satellite, or used HF comms, somebody would've either timed the satellite, or spotted the HF signal long ago. And there were no sign of a huge satellite dish one needs to communicate to satellites in high orbit in found drone remainings.

The problem is the chain of truth. Maybe you can prove that someone said something, but not that they believe it or even if it's objectively true.

Then you have disputes of validation. A party wanting to retract reality can present their own convincing fake and chain of custody of validation. It only take a few smart attacks on a central validator for the "attacker" to seed reasonable doubt.

The real solution is to trust nothing and always be ready to admit that you may be incorrect (given sufficient rational evidence to your contrary).
Yeah... been spending most of a lazy day reading random HN comment threads and the article if it seemed interesting enough, and then read this one. Powerful stuff.
Ideally yes. However, that's assuming a lot of privilege that the average consumer wouldn't have at all in this case.

I've been using upwork.com for a few months now and I'm getting regular projects as a mobile developer. Interesting ones too, sometimes to patch up an existing project, sometimes to start a new one. It took roughly a month though until the first clients started responding to my applications. Create a sexy profile and be patient.
We have our first 5 doors, we keep $12K a year. Financed with 25% down. We are targeting our next 5-8 doors purchase in the next 3 months. Typical expectation (when we buy right) we keep about $200 per door per month.

Buying right is a large caveat - There are many bad deals out there, but still some good ones. Timing can be a large part of it, so patience is required. We will be independently wealthy in roughly 7 more years, if we can continue to get the timing right.

So I posted a representative of our plan, we are working that plan.

ymmv :)

Autonomous RVs will change everything. I'll definitely be buying one when they are available. I like RVs but they are a challenge to drive. Take that downside away, and you have my ideal travel situation.
Ask HN: Why aren't civics skills tested on exams like the SAT or GRE?
Serious question: Why aren't civics skills tested on the SAT or GRE? Is it because they're irrelevant or is it something else?
it is all about rms being rms. When an act of illegal copying copyrighted material is called piracy, he pedantically says that it is a wrong term, because piracy is a penal crime that involves violence and forcible property theft.

Well, the areas we were in weren't actually skewed female. They were just not crazily skewed male.
The only distinctive quality I could find was that one has sovereign immunity and “non-state enemy combatants” don’t.

Its just the same 4,000 year old story of nomads wandering the middle east wishing they had a nation, “as it was foretold”.
Germany is notoriously anti credit cards so no surprise when it comes to them. Its a stupid move of course but my guess is that they are worried it will be successful and threaten the EURO.
I'm surprised at the amount of hate that libra seems to be getting, even on the tech-startup forum of HN. Are we all becoming a bunch of Luddite conservatives? When I look my own life an experiences, I can't really say I feel any of the alleged horrors cast down upon us by big tech. I get that privacy is an issue, but ... it is avoidable. I host my own cloud(nextcloud), use tracking blockers, avoid signups...etc.

Personally, I think its an interesting project, with both interesting technical, monetary, and political problems that will be encountered. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

"Most people I know appear to happily use it..."
Of course not, but since Saudi Arabia is the ally of the USA, in the eyes of many the enemy of Saudi Arabia must be a bunch of terrorists instead of liberation fighters who want to get rid of a president that was appointed by Saudi Arabia.
Is there any sign of a crypto currency that people want to use? Libra is an unregulated, centralized bank account that hides behind a blockchain. I still think it might succeed on social effects if it allows e.g. organizing betting pools and paying out without Libra backers getting their hands dirty—if anyone can sell that it’s Facebook, a reliable social institution, for better or worse. But generally there’s no strategy for luring people into the market and away from cash or cards.
This is Blizzard. They're still running the "Battle.net" servers for games they released over 20 years ago.
Today it's basically a week-long project to train a neural network to fly towards a jet engine in a 3D simulation. Then you just need to hook that to the drone control software.

No amount of jamming helps you here, this is radio control off, GPS off, entirely visual "guided missile" approach.

And this approach scales, with 20 drones, 2 drones assigned to each engine, you can engage 5 taking off planes in a row off a busy airport. And you can pick the direction which will make the planes crash in the nearby city.

With a "hire people to do stuff for bitcoin" project (there are several) you can prepare this in a bunch of countries (you just tell them you need some drones setup for an aerial shooting/light show or something).

The future is scary.
If you are using a fixed withdrawal rate, you don't know what you are doing. Sorry, it is just that simple.
For fun I do this: I ask them how much it'll cost upfront. (they can rarely even give bounds). Ask about refund policy (?!?!?!). Tho must be done nicely as the person handling the questions is no way responsible for the absurdity.

I know these won't actually succeed in adding a bit of capitalism but it does succeed in highlighting the absurdity.
No, of course I am not saying that. I'm saying it's a complicated issue that's currently playing out in public and you can read about it from many well-articulated points of view if you do a bit of Googling.

Humiliating machine disguised as a freelance platform
It is the Saudi's that are killing innocents in Yemen. Saudi Arabia started the war in Yemen simply because they wanted to impose a hated dictator on Yemen. If the Saudis let the Yemeni choose their own leader, or even imposed a dictator that is not as hated, or had the basic decency to force dictator on Yemen that is the same religion as most Yemenis this would not have happened.

The Saudis are blockading Yemen, a nation that needs to import most of its food to survive. They are directly and intentionally causing a humanitarian catastrophe there. There is not need to blame Iran for this.

The Yemeni rebels are cornered and as any cornered people they will take any help they can, including Iran. But this is not the cause of this. The cause is the Saudi led war and blockade.
"We will review your profile and ask you to submit a short video to ensure that you have good fit with working remotely."

Why is a video needed? Seems counter-intuitive; someone's age, appearance, and presentability are probably less important in full time remote work (should never be a factor in any job, but the reality of course is that there is a likability factor for on-site workers).

The only thing I can think of is if some of the employers need to video conference a lot, and want people who don't look like hideous monsters, or some such thing. What am I missing here?

Linking is isomorphic to tracing, moving GC. Effectively, the linker relocates objects in memory and writes a freeze-dried "heap" for the OS loader (another linker) to page in later.

Linker slowness ~= GC pause. The cost is approximately proportional to the size of the traced graph.
The Houthis are genuinely fighting for their own country. Iran may help them but Iran is not commanding them, so I do not see this as a proxy war but an internal affair to Yemen.

I'm not sure that moral responsibility for investigating the legality of instructions should rest with the employee, in cases where the instructions aren't clearly repugnant.

Consider the example of engineers getting the details of tax compliance in a payroll system wrong because their boss provided the wrong instructions. To my mind, they should not be at fault for this unless they demonstrably knew what they had been asked to do was illegal.
The two other species are the species the released mosquitoes were hybridized from. They didn't move in, they were brought in as part of the experiment.
Correct in my experience! :)

And we rarely sell, instead we retain cash flow. We will "flip" a Single Family door via 1031 (US Tax Code) into our next 5-8 doors (after owning it for 4 or so years). But we expect to hold onto the other building, and those we acquire as we go, as this again is a subscription model - Cash flow.

"The market" (i.e. real estate appreciation) does not affect us so much over time, only when we do buy/sell.

And right now, US rates are again low...

Compare: the most recent war before WW I between the "major powers" (if Spain was "industrial" is another question, and also how major is also) was

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War

1898, lasted for 4 months, less then 4000 wounded and killed.

Compare that just with the US sanctions against Venezuela (again, not too major, but the US definitely is the only remaining superpower) at this very moment:

http://cepr.net/publications/reports/economic-sanctions-as-c...

"the sanctions have inflicted, and increasingly inflict, very serious harm to human life and health, including an estimated more than 40,000 deaths from 2017 to 2018; and that these sanctions would fit the definition of collective punishment of the civilian population as described in both the Geneva and Hague international conventions, to which the US is a signatory."

Just in one year.

As I understand it, current gene editing is less scalpel and more hammer. Is there therefore a risk of more mutations?
Why is Germany (the state) "anti credit card"? It is accepted everywhere.

You might mean that some Germans don't like CC and prefer cash for privacy reasons. But that is a personal decision.
> not with an explicit military goal in mind, but rather for the purpose of economic strangulation.

In the context of a military conflict, which is what is going on, this was a bone fide target.
I have noticed in articles and blogs advocating for early retirement, a general sentiment that work is bad and actively reduces quality of life and is therefore something that should be avoided at all costs. While I do think working 60-70+ hours a week at a job you hate in order to spend money on convenience items isn't a great formula for a meaningful life, I am also not convinced that the only solution is to grind it out until one no longer has to work. Perhaps working toward a more meaningful career could be part of the equation as well, and wouldn't therefore require a scorched earth approach to finances
First off, I'm referring to significantly more unethical stuff than making an ICE.

But even then, the programmers working on ICEs can find a different job in a heartbeat.

I'm not asking the other people working at these, or any, companies to do the same. I'm asking people with top in-demand skills to start considering the ethics of their jobs.
I could say it's hard to assume good faith from you. You're making ridiculous leaps. We'd be stuck still riding horses and buggies if people had your mindset in the early 1900's.
You’ve stopped working. Now go out and make money
Island Troll Tribes was one of my favorites. I wonder if this will also create a DotA 1 scene (though IceFrog will not work on it).
The united states does not promote democracy for the simple reason that the US is not a democracy and is foundationally opposed to demos.

The united states is a republic whos purpose (in contrast) is "protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. "

As for externally the US does not have a track recorded of democracy promotion. My primary source is of course Noam chomsky but you can find research on this pretty much everywhere.

"While the U.S. claims to have a
tradition of “promoting democracy” in Latin America, justification for U.S. intervention has been
questionable and inconsistent. U.S. support for Latin American regimes has coincided with favorable
economic policies rather than with the strength of democracy within a country"

EDIT: clarification.
Why are you so convinced that everyone would immediately want to use Libra? Do you think the Euro is such a mess? If that’s really the case, wouldn’t some people using an alternate currency be a step forward?

If Libra is going to be more economically than a typical bank, that will take many years and give plenty of time to react in case of problems. Also, it should first be up to the people for themselves to decide what means of payment they are using. The government should only intervene when the market fails.

I stated already in a previous comment: the Houthis are fighting for their own country. The Houthis may be helped by Iran but Iran is not commanding them. Since the Houthis fight for a Yemen without the appointed president, they fight for their own country. Saudi Arabia choose to have a war with the Houthis (not with Iran!) so this is not a proxy war at all.
I think a lot of Show HNs are experiments. Which is perfectly fine!

Also, a job board is a very low barrier to entry business with high margins if you succeed, so I'd expect there to be a lot of failed attempts.

We also don't know what kind of winddown the ones who shut down had, hopefully it was graceful.
You don’t refute “the Middle East is a violent place” with “there has been violence in the west in the last 20 years”. Violence is a spectrum, not a binary, and there is a chasm between the Middle East and the West with respect to how violent each place is.

We can find non-racist explanations for the violence disparity without forsaking reason.
That is 100% the wrong view.

Investing for retirement is about robustness. You are taking a view that is deliberately non-robust (and is, therefore, exposed to significant risk).

Compounded returns don't matter.

The stuff on dividends is just completely wrong too (for example: your yield doesn't go up, it stays the same if your payments stay the same because the price you paid doesn't change...that is basic). I will say though that when I said income, I wasn't talking about dividends. In most cases (i.e. with most tax systems), you are going to prefer taking income as capital gains. Even in a tax system that isn't tilted towards capital gains, I would prefer companies that can retain earnings and invest your capital at a high rate (I am in the UK, the companies that are returning capital at a high rate are fundamentally weak...maybe this doesn't generalise though).
