Why stop at the 2nd screen ? Why don't you carry your processor, cables and monitors together everywhere.
Since you have a new account, I'll vouch for your comment to keep it alive, but please get rid of that disparaging attitude on HN.

If you're going within a city, then home->dest time is roughly equal to home->station->train->station->dest, so if you're going to use a car anyway then you might as well just drive all the way, with more comfort, privacy, and convenience. Stations within walking distance are not realistic except in very dense urban areas like NY (which already has subways).

If you're going between cities, traffic is actually not much of an issue so it's again the same equation. Once distance increases to the point of a train being faster (even with stops), air travel then starts to become a better option.

Rail requires density. American cities are very spread out and internally sparse internally. Last mile is a serious problem, and that's before considering politics, real-estate, security and defense issues, pricing models, taxes, and other factors. Meanwhile roads are cheap and give people ultimate flexibility.

We would all love better transport, but pretending it's simple just because some other country somewhere has some trains isn't very useful.
If Apple banned it _without_ Chinese pressure it would be even worse!
I honestly don't get why people use Atom or even VS code for that matter. Vim and emacs come shipped with many systems, have good plugins, and are waaaay faster; not to mention no telemetry!
> Military drones, human cloning, designer babies,

Only one of these is objectionable.

The other two ought to be pursued so we can further advance the human race and improve the quality of everyone's lives. They're totally justified.
And what will the UN do if we chose not to comply because the original intent of said convention is now being abused as an excuse for mass third-world immigration?

No, I'm serious, what will the UN, a cabal of unelected bureaucrats who I have never voted for, do to my country if we don't comply with said convention?
The actual world of super-high paid consultant would be interesting to hear about. This is either a niche-within-a-niche or a scam, depending on whether you believe the page.

The thing is, maybe there are circumstances when someone who's just quite well informed about an otherwise boring industry can get an "information download" gig as described but I'd also guess those are very occasional - only so many investors need those so often. I suspect most super high paid consultant gigs are even more boring - just super well dressed, super connected, super confident, speaking the language of the ultra rich and describing pretty dull and predictable things, mostly management/investment techniques but communicating the right way to the right people and having some level of connection to them. An alternative is a similar someone except a someone who will to tell the super-rich they're wrong and having enough prestige themselves so these rich don't feel like they've been insulted too badly.
> It’s hard to verify Summon is in use when only Tesla has access to the data

Mathematical certainty, or even criminal-style proof beyond a reasonable doubt isn't required. The insurance company writes the rule in their policy, refuses to pay if they think there is sufficient evidence that the policy allows it, and if the insured disagrees they get to sue the insurance company over it, and the case will be decided on the civil preponderance of the evidence standard.

Nice -- but I want two 15" screens, not 9", and set it down as two 15" portrait monitors for code editing, etc.
Well put, and yes that is definitely a risk. As a software developer myself though, I find these stories to be a good learning opportunity.
I worked at a place that is extremely concerned with HIPPA to the point of having many specialist lawyers. We were required to use version control.
He totally would have. In the early days of iPhone, he had a strong contempt for the idea of an app store since it would allow anyone to publish any app and he didn't want anyone other than Apple doing that.

Making it a walled garden was his idea.
Yes, but that part of the decision was overruled as noted on the page:

> The decision by the Supreme Court was effectively overturned when the United States Congress subsequently passed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, which specified that recipients of federal funds must comply with civil rights laws in all areas, not just in the particular program or activity that received federal funding.
I don’t do this anymore, due to my employer looking unfavorably towards it, but I was charging between $600-900 an hour for my industry advice on spaces I’d worked in. I could have charged less and done more hours, but I found there was a lot of cancellation and rescheduling and misunderstanding at lower rates, and charging more just limited things to high intent clients.

It was never a significant percentage of my income, but it was a nice low 5-digit uplift a year. Separately I met a guy who advised on a very narrow sector of the energy market and charged $1800/hour a couple of hours a week. The more niche your expertise, the more you are worth.
"Since the police did not have a warrant when they used the device, which was not commonly available to the public, the search was presumptively unreasonable"

As tech marches on, "not commonly available to the public" becomes a smaller space.

Separately, I'd hazard a guess that they still use FLIR in an indiscriminate way, and just conjure up a little parallel construction when needed.
I agree with your premise on the higher end but a $500 and $5000 salary are dramatically different. You won’t go hungry on 5k if you are frugal while $500 could kill you.
Doubly so, as they are heavier, and faster accelerating than ICE cars universally by class.

And probably also a lot on short fees on the securities they lend out.

That depends on the actual security.

Currently at Schwab it is free to short a very liquid stock or ETF, because Schwab has access to a very large supply. Which means Schwab only passes along a very de minimis amount to the lender. I assume they eat this amount out of their commission.

They do of course charge appropriate fees for hard-to-borrow stocks. Every stock has a different fee.

This will probably change once Schwab stops charging commissions. Their fine print on that announcement says "Stock Borrow fees still apply". So those fees will apply to more/all stocks going forward?
Maybe in part this is due to many men not considering it as a desirable human capability. If one considers reason to be much more important than emotion, strives to hide all displays of emotion, being emotionally stunted feels more like a compliment than offence.

Could the fact that the Spain/Portugal border is influenced by geography also be a major factor? Both the border and the birds' flight patterns are likely heavily influenced by geography
> I don't think you can pin the rise of nationalism solely on migration - non-European countries are also experiencing sharp increase in (right-wing) nationalism - including the US which you noted hasn't bourne the social cost.

Hold on. The US has also seen massive demographic change due to migration (just not from migrations from the Middle East). Indeed there have been US politicians and other mainstream figures openly celebrating the "end of white America".
Respect Your Emotion: Human-Multi-Robot Teaming Based on Regret Decision Model
It's not about one side arbitrarily adjusting the terms; it's about both sides realizing that they have a shared interest in keeping the organization running. It's just not feasible to write an employment contract that fully encompasses the work needing to get done.
Damn, what segments did you work in? The firm I'm working with maxes out at like $100 an hour.
$4.99 upfront to try the app, which has a rating of 3.9/5

Tempted to try it but think the use cases I have for OCR are covered by Google Photos.

Perhaps if Memos offered a freemium version with in app purchases I would slowly build a case for unlocking all the functionality it offers.
Holy cow. From the videos I watched it seems like the materialization of what I was thinking. I will give it a shot. Thank you very much!

Are there more tools like this?
That's coming to an end too, the web will be google's "app/play store" someday.

How exactly would a smaller company stop China from forcing them to remove content easier than Apple?
Another problem - it is common for HN users (myself included) to have their account expressly linked to their own name. Obviously it would be disastrous if one's current employer found out about a rant like those in this thread.

Even if the user can't trivially be linked to their name, these stories can get so specific that if someone else from the company read it, they would know the writer.
Perhaps the concept is not fine, but we should be careful to distinguish knowledge gained from hindsight vs. criticism of those who at least had the bravery to try.

So how many times do you have to fail before being brave is just a bad business decision. The "concept" wasn't fine for Multiflow or the i860 (I used both, and would call it terrible for the i860). It didn't work for Cydrome. Trimedia is gone. Transmeta flamed out. There's, what, a couple of DSP VLIW chips that are actually still sold?

But, hey, let's bet the company on Itanium and compilers that will be here Real Soon Now. I remember the development Merced boxes we got.

The general feeling at the time among people who had very relevant knowledge or experience was that compilers were close to being able to deal with something like Itanium sufficiently well.

That's revisionism. There was a general feeling we were getting good at building optimizing compilers, but I don't recall any consensus that VLIW was the way forward. The reaction to Itanium was much less than universally positive, and not just from the press.

Turns out they were wrong.

Very, very wrong. Again.
this.

side-loading ... the term itself is ridiculous. You cannot just load an app on your phone unless Apple approves it.
My apple account terminated for unknown reason
I am being independent apple eco programmer for last 4 years. Recently apple terminated my developer account and on holding my new account request for 1 year from termination. Politely, I explained many way in emails but They just sent system generated emails rather than answers for my question. Seems, Blindly I am talking with Apple's noob bots. I felt being pissed by Apple and they stoled my 99$ and terminated my account without any simple reasons.

I like to leave apple eco system completely. But strongly I have skills in iOS development only. I like to get your advice to get business ideas that related to programming for earn money.
This article is great!
I don't want to start the argument either and you are also right. They would do exactly as Google has they been in the same situation.

Like so many here, I also wonder, why they don't become more like Apple in terms of privacy.Google would have no answer if Microsoft was a privacy-first company.
Don't forget the mandatory 2 hour delay to answer though, you still don't want them learning that it's quicker to ask than to look.
> security versus freedom

With the app store you're still vulnerable to state actors and zero day vulns. And on Android you're vulnerable to permissions scope creep. The app stores contain malware.

You're never truly safe.

You can't point to the old days of Windows in the 90s and early 2000s as a case for app stores, either. Installers and downloaded executables were great, but Windows had a broken, unsandboxed model that made it easy to break. History would have played out much better if Windows itself weren't so permissible and was more hermetic back then.

If we invested the same billions of research and development dollars that Apple and Google did into their walled garden platforms, an open web with truly cross platform native wasm apps would work just as well or better than anything on the app stores, and it'd be just as "secure". And cross platform. And couldn't be shut down by Apple, Google, or an angry government.

Imagine going to Netflix.com and getting the native app experience. On any mobile device. Windows Phone. Ubuntu Phone. That's how it should have worked.

Walled gardens must die.
There are self hosted Azure products also.
Honestly, I've done a lot of jobs, some manual, some not, went to university, all of it. Anything that pays well is easy compared to a job that pays shit. The possibility that a missed shift means missing rent and potentially being homeless is far more stressful than any amount of mental 'abuse' or physical strain.
I think we should be able to suggest either thing without backlash, as long as you don't say it's certain until it's proven.
Fortune 500/50 companies should be able to absorb the cost, no? If you have a lot of money, you can afford to make mistakes as long as the expected value (of many acquisitions) is positive in the long run.

I’m not sure what the point of this comment was, so apologies if I’ve assumed incorrectly.
I'm not convinced smaller companies would make different decisions.
You're right, neuroscience these days is too primitive.
> If you introduce a technology into the world, you have to consider the possibilities every type of person

You can't.. the human mind simply can't understand every type of person or even 90% of every type of person. If this is a requirement for advancement nothing would ever get done due to the complexity of this part of the problem alone.

> with every possible aim

Again, we are limited beings this is not possible.

> having control of that technology. Not doing this is simply not scientific.

I'm going to disagree with your use of the term 'scientific in this case. The creation and use cases are entirely different steps in development.

The onus is not on the creator but the user. This is basis for modern law in the society we live in, we collectively choose to put this on the ' scientific community ' development will happen elsewhere and the moral civilization while nicer will remain in the stone age where it belongs.
Can confirm. Been working as a SWE full time and trying to finish my degree since 19. I would not take this pile of stress if I had a pile of money.
I interviewed a guy who's masters work was in the field I did my doctoral work in. I think I'm the only one in the company who knows anything about the particular topic, and considering that the role was far removed from that topic, it was a very unlikely coincidence. However, when discussing his research, he mostly missed the mark. It wasn't enough to sink his application as at the masters level I wouldn't expect him to know it nearly as well as I do, and he was ultimately hired. But, you never know who you're talking to.
Apparently (according to a carpenter friend) - if the carpenter uses a hammer on a modern build it means something has gone wrong - they're normally using nailguns or similar to put things together - hammers are to bash them back apart again or knock them into alignment if they weren't done right the first time.
I think there is room to recognize that line cooks don’t get treated as well as software engineers while also discussing unfair treatment of workers in any field. Abuse of software engineers is not unimportant simply because other workers have it worse. We as wage workers can work in solidarity with others to fight abusive labor conditions in all fields. Absolutely the service workers need representation and fair treatment and the situation for service workers is far more urgent, but that doesn’t mean we should not discuss the plight of software engineers as well. All workers should be free from exploitation.
Arg, good point. Unfortunately, it's too late to edit or delete the comment now.

Shouldn't comment right before lunch; I get grumpy apparently. :(
$100/hr is really low in the bay area; most SWE generalist contractors can walk in and get $150 no questions asked, anywhere. $200 if you're more experienced in the specific area and $250+ if you "have a name for yourself" online.

Rule of thumb at least around here is take your base salary in thousands per year, and that's your hourly rate. If you're getting $200K base, charge $200/hr for your contracting time. The extra that yields is to help you offset the fact you won't always have work and the extra you have to do to keep your pipeline full. Many startups pay $150K for senior engineers so have no problem paying $150/hr for contractors.
>if you have insufficient funds they'll take out a margin loan

That's not my experience with them. I've had them as a checking/brokerage account for 10+ years. I tend not to keep much money in checking so I run into timing issues once a year or so - where a check I wrote will present before the funds to cover it arrive in my account. I've definitely had them pull from the brokerage cash, but not from savings. They have never opened a margin loan to cover it.
I know, it was totally counterintuitive until I coded it. Same kind of deal with the Monte Hall problem.
I don't know ME but China has a policy of not meddling other's internal fare. It didn't bomb Libya while Europa did.

But it's more than that: Even China didn't cause the refugee disaster of ME but since the disaster was caused by good intention of Europeans with the naive human rights view,and it's already happened, China still should share some responsibility from humanity point of view. However there's another reason at the opposite side that is always misunderstood as selfishness by westerners : Accept a lot of refugee will definitely cause the internal turmoil because of the collision between bastards and non-bastards. That would be a bigger concern by government. Direct cost of settling refugee should be trivial given the size and wealth of China.

The same situation is applicable in Europa. The direct social cost of settling refugees is a relatively smaller problem. The internal conflicts and political polarization is a high-order problem.
You don't have to circumvent anything and that's the crux of it.

Android lets you install applications without having to jailbreak your phone or do any other trickery. This should be a prerequisite for any OS (with all the necessary warnings).
Really hard to believe that Apple is the "privacy oriented company we can trust", that the company constantly touts in their advertising as a reason to buy their products mind you, when at the same time, you have news like this constantly coming out.

If you really wanted me to believe that you were serious about this Apple, you would do what Google has done and completely remove yourself from China until issues of blatant censorship and oppression like these improve. Of course, this will never happen, because too much money comes from the revenue stream that Chinese citizens represent.
It was just various software spaces where I had first hand knowledge. I just kept asking for more money, and they kept trying to talk me down, and then I would offer to walk away, and we would negotiate something. I also made it very clear to a few platforms where I was unwilling to work with them due to price.

In general, in my very limited experience, if you have experience in spaces they are getting inquiries about, you can make a strong case.
> really want to highlight all the favors they are doing for the world by employing so many people

Um, well, yes, in a democracy, jobs created is the most interesting metric for politicians, particularly if those jobs are in their district. Those are their constituents. Do you want policies that are friendly toward tech companies and tech workers alike? Because connecting the jobs with the companies is how you do that.
> Would a bullet in a foot have enough stopping power, without being so short of lethal outcome?

Not reliably, which is why every organization that carries and trains with guns trains center of mass shots except for specialized marksmen training for specialized circumstances, who tend to train harder but even more lethal shots.

When you are using a gun, the choices for reliable stopping are nearly identical to those for maximum fatality. If you aren't justified in killing someone, you have no business firing a gun at them, and if you are justified in firing a gun at someone, aiming anywhere in the limbs doesn't make it nonlethal, it just raises the risk to yourself and bystanders by making the outcome less certain.
Sounds like you are the expert. Will have to take your word on it.

It's interesting phenomena though, isn't it? Those who praise diversity and immigration the loudest are often those most insulated from it. Why is that? Why don't those people move to those diverse, ethnic neighborhoods they claim to love so much?

They seem to only care for the abstract idea of it all, not the reality.
Companies are going to have to decide how important the Chinese market is or risk eroding the trust and good will for all of their other customers. You can’t stand on the boat of democracy and the boat of a dictatorship t the same time.
designer babies are objectionable?
Oh my, have we met? I don’t recall commenting on this particular topic previously, let alone often.

I don’t see how my comment would be misunderstood as trolling, to be honest. I’m also far from right wing. My conservative friends, of which I do have a few, give me a hard time for being a lefty, so being called a Nazi is rather perplexing.

I do have a bit more exposure to this issue than most Americans, and admittedly, my experience has caused my view to shift heavily over the past several years.

Not so long ago, I would be calling people out for their lack of compassion on this issue. It turns out that real life is a lot more complicated.

I can be honest with myself. I do have sympathy, but I’m not going to open my home to a refugee. I am not going to sponsor one. I am not xenophobic. Hell, I wouldn’t want my sister-in-law to live with me either.

Unless you’re willing to do those things, then respectfully, I must declare that it is you who is full of BS. Much like I once was. You see, I wanted to see these people helped, and I thought that someone should help them, but it was only an abstract concept. I wanted someone else to do it. Now I realize I have no right or moral high ground to criticize anybody else unless I’m willing to do it myself.

If you in fact are willing and helping, then I will gladly accept criticism from you. And some people are. And I have great respect for them. But personally, I find it difficult enough to take care of my own family.

The backlash in places like Germany, Canada and the UK are very real. All of them poll left-leaning, yet recent polls indicate that the majority of the population feels that they have taken in too many immigrants. That isn’t because they all started reading the Daily Stormer, it’s because unlike you over there calling people out from the cheap seats, they have been faced with complexities that go along with mass immigration of people who are not able to easily integrate with their new society and be self-sufficient.

It's not apparent from the article if phone calls are blocked. It's probably not cheap, and it's certainly easy to track, but you can run data over international voice calls. Probably works better on a real landline, but should work a bit over mobile too.
