COL is a terrible indicator. 1/3rd COL isn't really 1/3rd. If you have a large family the requirement of a large house/apartment will make your cost of living much worse in SF than 3x - while if you sleep in your car and cook on a camp stove your COL is the nearly the same in both places (car registration might be slightly more in CA). Both are extreme cases, but they get the point across.

While I would expect a somewhat lower salary outside of SF, it wouldn't be 1/3.
I am soo glad, that I cancelled my interview with WeWork. I feel bad who bought into the hype recently and joined the company.
The mind might be largely collocated with the brain, but I did specifically say mind :D Where the device goes is irrelevant to my concern; what it might be reading, and what I'd trust them to do with it, is not.

To be fair this concern is not only about Facebook, I'd have similar concerns now about anyone, but Facebook have already shown themselves to be bad actors. Fool me once, etc.

The A8X also has a substantially faster CPU than the A8 (3 vs. 2 cores and 1.5GHz vs. 1.1GHz) and a much faster GPU (2-3 times faster). This would make a visible difference in day to day usage even without the RAM limitation. This is probably also what made the difference when implementing the multitasking features.
Can you give me some money? you seem comfortable. $40k ought to do it. Thanks.

Of course that's not a coincidence, hence the ellipses of omission. I left out the bits that weren't factual. Even then your "Asking female coworkers to lay down topless on a mattress in his office" comes out of nowhere.

"He kept the door open to proudly showcase" could have easily been "He kept to door shut to hide his actions", that is: both cases would be equally damning from the writer's perspective, and hinges only on their "implications that went with it" which are their invention alone.

Facts remaining, he had a mattress in his office. He left his door open. Sometimes people were sitting on the bed.

> "it happened long ago, so it isn't true"

No. It happened a long time ago. People, over time, remember the emotional impact of something on them, but no longer the precise wording. She remembers the gist of someone talking about suicide, because that's what she thought he meant. Without the exact wording and cirumstances, it can be very difficult to figure out what transpired. So it's not "it isn't true" or "she must be lying", but the account is unsubstantiated, likely irretrievably so, because "it happened a long time ago."

> completely disregarding the fact

I don't disregard them, I check them one by one, and so far I found them lacking.

Why are you angry at me for reading what other people said before believing them at face value?

> that all these accusations have been corroborated by witnesses, ranging from people interviewed on several media and dozens of reports and online comments from people who claim to have worked with him over the years, let alone the several unrelated victims of his "urban legends", and most of all, the fact that people repeatedly let him know about his attitude and he didn't give a damn.

Please provide links outside of twitter. So far most accusations lead back to the initial article on medium by Salem G.

I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. I read the allegations, try to find the various sources, and try to put them into a logical context. I guess I'm simply a Knight for Justice (also: old weirdos)
I think it's interesting that out of 120+ comments on opioids, nobody mentions the elephant in the room:

Some studies find NSAIDs are as effective in the treatment of pain [1]. You can find several other studies with a quick search, though most of the ones I've found were short-term.

An additional issue is that opioids are not a treatment for the causes of pain. Pain is generally a symptom, not the underlying pathology. Physical therapy and other reliefs (nonsurgical) can treat the causes of pain and eliminate the need for any pain treatments.

And as for an anecdote - my stepfather went from large doses of opioids after back surgery and severe pain (for an issue they wouldn't recommend surgery for anymore, but would instead recommend physical therapy) for years, to a reasonable level of prescribed marijuana consumption.

Just some things to think about, since most of voices in the room seem to be pro-opioid.

> Do you happen to have an S3 bucket with that data live?

No. However, I'm helping start the Data Curation Core at the AIPHI here (https://aiphi.shepherdresearchlab.org/). Our intent is to be a one stop shop for all medical data in Hawaii. We don't yet have a plan on where we will actually store the public datasets (have solutions for private data), but it sounds like from what you folks are saying S3 is the place, and we should link to it via Quilt. That sounds like a good plan to me.

On a related topic, we just had a paper accepted ("Maternal Cardiovascular-Related Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, Genes and Pathways Associated with Early-Onset Preeclampsia") with a smaller dataset (in the low TB IIRC) where we were unable to put the data live online publically for privacy reasons, so instead created a strongly typed schema for the data and wrote a method "synthesizeProgram()" to generate fake but correctly typed data so we could publish working code, and other researchers could just swap out the CSVs to get real results. Perhaps that might be a good thing to integrate into Quilt.
I know you could technically say that Mastodon is a decentralized network, but I like to say that it just distributes the kind of power associated with centralisation. What I mean is this: each server in Mastodon is governed by a small group of people that decides upon the kind of content they will either host or ban; they will determine which other servers can communicate with them, as well, so your vision of the "fediverse" won't be exhaustive or complete. They also own your unencrypted data. That's not the case with most XMPP servers, for instance--to name another federated communication protocol.
> Finnish and Estonian are also agglutinative

Finnish and Estonian are synthetic languages now. While the Proto-Uralic language ancestral to them both was more agglutinative, the system of consonant gradation (and subsequent loss of consonants) as it developed in these languages means they are no longer very agglutinative.

In a purely agglutinative language you only have to memorize one stem for a word and then you can add all case endings to that one stem. In Finnish, you have to memorize at least two stems (strong and weak stems). In Estonian, things are even more complicated.
Since re-joining the iOS world last year, I've been amazed at how many (often nifty!) features are the exact opposite of intuitive. I was still discovering new features either on accident or via articles, multiple months into ownership of my iPhone. Once I learned about the features many of them were great, but it's very surprising given Apple's focus on intuitiveness.

> especially women and couples.

You're making this seem misogynistic, but indeed, typically female monasteries were not (and are still not) open to men.

You're not wrong I was incomplete in my previous statement. Monasteries would often try to render assistance to the exceptionally needy, but have historically operated as regular inns only for those who could stay within the convent walls. This was basically restricted by sex. Even today, if you're going to do a retreat at a monastery, couples typically would have to stay away from the cloister (many monasteries - but not all - offering retreats typically have a separate house for these individuals, a short distance from the main cloister). Only single men would be permitted into a male monastery (behind the cloister for the night) and single women to a female one.

Re the paying stuff. As far as I'm aware (and I've researched a few monasteries in my area and know several monks), the payment is a suggested donation, not a requirement. Of course, that's my own anecdata. I would be interested in knowing if there is a monastery charging for the actual stay, because typically they're not supposed to.

Really? It seems like one of the most insane parts of the Australian voting system. Forcing people that don't know enough to vote under their own motivation doesn't suddenly impart them knowledge or wisdom, it just introduces a huge number of low information voters into the system.

NZ's approach seems safer; compulsory enrolment, so that come voting day everyone should be able to vote if they so choose. Voter turnout is still very high.
Hm? Isn't this article just proof that privilege hierarchies exist and that those with power are perpetuating them? After all it's not that the professors writing articles like "Romancing the Subject: The Interplay of Race and Gender..." are the people choosing to admit lots of legacies, it's a totally separate part of the university where those decisions get made.
I don't even think they'll even rise 50% in the long term. Gasoline ICEs are trivially convertible to natural gas, of which the US has a darn near inexhaustible supply. Natural gas is cheaper even today, but not cheaper enough for drivers to bother. If gasoline is $6 and natural gas is $2 per equivalent gallon, people with longer commutes will reconsider. Current price in the US is between $0.79 and $1.50 per equivalent gallon btw.

I recall that the oil price was 100% higher for several years at the start of the decade. And it was considered normal. There was no crisis at all.
In fact small firms may be more efficient. If they make a bad bet on some real estate they fold while WeWork has to spread that cost to all of its users and keep on moving.
2011-2015 the price was around $100, peaking at $110

2015-present the price has been around $50-60 with some points below 30 and above 70

Has that 50% drop been some kind of miracle?

We would just be returning to prices of the previous decade.

Ask HN: Billing for non-customer specific tool usage
Hey folks,

I've a customer that brought me on as primarily a systems and compliance consultant and my responsibilities look to expand into helping manage and update their Terraform managed infrastructure. I've not yet used Terraform and will need to get up to speed on it. Should I bill all of my time learning it or eat some of the cost? If it was something they designed in-house I would bill all of it as the skills don't directly translate to skills for other customers but this makes it a bit of a grey area.

There are plenty of games "for girls" (the hidden-object and life-simulation genres are almost exclusively consumed by women, regardless of theming) but they're not marketed with quite the high-budget superbowl ad-campaign effort that games "for boys" are.

I've encountered the situation many times where I'll find out one of my female friends doesn't play video games. I'll ask why, and—disregarding the people who just don't like to spend time cooped up indoors—it'll usually end out that she's just never been introduced to a game she's enjoyed. Upon introducing her to a game or two in the genres more traditionally targeted at women, she'll be just about as likely as any of my male friends to gradually evolve from there into an avid gamer: one for whom "gaming" is now counted among their serious hobbies; one who might be excited to dedicate a weekend to full "hardcore" engagement with a new game.

In other words, for these ladies, it was 100% a market education problem: the companies making these products weren't managing to make their target audience aware of them.

“Hopefully, the professor will be able to seriously take the work on which I am presently engaged, which is, I believe, rather unique.”
