Most companies (if you do business in California, which is likely considering it's the world's fifth largest economy) will need to abide by California's privacy law [California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (AB 375)] about to go into effect on January 1, 2020. No need to fret because the federal government dropped the ball.

My theory is that the people buying the energy bars prefer that they taste like shit to make themselves feel more hardcore about whatever dieting philosophy du jour they abide by.
Considering purchasing cycles are over the course of years that's not surprising. My work issued laptop is just over a year old, and I wouldn't expect a new one for another 3-4 years. Not to mention purchasing contracts that are negotiated once or twice a decade that may specify Intel.

AMD is expected to double their penetration by the end of the coming year in the server space, which is huge. I think they'll also make inroads into the laptop space as well. Given that they're the preferred APU for next gen consoles won't hurt their sales to developer channels either.

I would be surprised if they haven't captured about 1/3 of the overall x86 market by the end of 2021, which is where Intel will probably be where they want to be technology wise, until then it's AMDs game.
> "RxBar got a lot of traction well before they were sold, and so to believe he was grinding for the entire 5 years in the same way he was in the basement when they first started is a bit naive"

I would have the opposite perception. That it is naive of your part assuming that once a business gets good traction that its founders start working less hours.
you might want to check the stats for the claims in your first paragraph, unless "decent job" in this case is top 5%. Only 49% of Americans have employer sponsored health plans and most of those are not entirely paid for by the employer. and only 91% of Americans are insured.
I've heard that recent efforts by Microsoft - primarily but not solely WSL - have made it much more palatable to developers.
Probably from tetraethyl lead, which wasn’t banned in common fuels until the 70’s in the US.

Except in California, which had leaded fuel well into the 90's for rich people's collector cars. Another example of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do sorts of things that happen in California.
I disagree. But anytime I've been exposed to redis, it's always been as an ephemeral data store.
It sounds less unreasonable if you realize that "plastic" is about as specific as "crystalline" or "brittle".
I think the animations are what I miss the most, especially the WP7 animations. None of the others look remotely as nice.
I didn't claim DNSSEC was good, but it is available and serves to at least verify the communication with the root servers. That is the main reason I think using the root servers is superior to your ISPs. And I thought the context was a pi-hole with a recursive resolver (like unbound) configured to use the root servers using DNSSEC. In this case it would protect against hijacking... wouldn't it?
> But why? why can't it be an option?

Because universities have decided (rightly, IMO) that just taking the applicants with the top GPA and SAT scores and no other criteria doesn't give a very vibrant student body.

Chances are a school like Harvard already has more "top student" scorers in this fashion than they can accept.

> How do you work on something that you have no control over?

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."

There are plenty of things you can work on that colleges love to see. Volunteering, neat science projects, interesting life experiences, sports and performing arts, etc.
If an entire city lost power then the first food to spoil would be the meat. I suppose you could hunt squirrels and other small city-dwelling animals but they're not likely to last very long if millions of people suddenly turned to that.

What food doesn't require electricity to keep? Oats, wheat, beans, lentils, potatoes, rice, apples, pears, onions, etc. Notice a trend? It's all vegan food. Good luck :)

So tell me again how exactly eating meat is preparing you for survival in the (SUPER LIKELY) event of a mass power-outage and food shortage?

This is all a moot point anyways, because veganism is about not using animals "as far as is possible and practicable", so eating animals if your survival depends on it is actually fully acceptable in the definition on veganism (see https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism)
Can you really smell asbestos? I can't imagine silicate rock having a very high vapour pressure.
The comparison is between a laptop having just the one screen VS a laptop with another screen squeezed in irrespective of the angle.

As long as I can have my terminal down there or my Lightroom film strip or a Youtube podcast open, that's a lot better experience than just one screen. Yes, it's a compromise from an actual desktop environment, but still a huge step up from not having any extra screen.
Subways are one of the most effective inner-city travel systems available. I'd consider that a train system.

That could work, or you know, we could continue research and development of tires with better PM2.5 ratings and vehicles that run on sustainable energy.

The web at that time didn't need full browsers to be enjoyable. Most websites were like what Hacker News is right now: just simple HTML, little to no JavaScript, and easy on bandwidth.
Those small classes are pretty common though. See also things like small chunks of rock when climbing. There are a lot of opportunities for small, fast moving, hard objects to hit your head in a lot of situations. On a job site it’s also easy to hit your head hard on low objects and stun or cut yourself.
That's not what 'professional' means in this context, and I'm sure you know that.

Most public-sector jobs for university educated people include shares of some form or another for employees. Some times it's a very large proportion of the compensation, or even essentially all of it, for some management.
Sure, lots of the big tech companies used tech invented elsewhere, but still, they were bringing new technologies to market that hadn't been seen before. Internet access through browsers was big and new. Google was a huge step over the competition. Apple iPods and iPhones big and new. Lower down: databases, network hardware, and so on.

Now it seems like a bunch of micro-optimizations, ways to avoid legislation, or lifestyle products. Not new forms of technology entering the market that really do change everything. The 'change everything' technologies, like Musks' ventures, seem to be a bunch of moonshots (or marshots).
Well, let's break it down:

healthcare costs, lifespan estimates, mass shootings, addiction rates, and cost of housecare are all basically just the same thing from different angles: the healthcare industry

The healthcare industry is extremely successful if your goal is to maximize shareholder profit. It's a complete failure if your goal is to maximize consumer value, however.

Have you lived in a city with a subway? Give it a few years, and all the stuff is nearer the trains stops anyways. The train is rarely out of the way.
I'd argue the 'easy' inventions are easy in hindsight. It's part of what makes an idea so brilliant is that everyone considers it so obvious once it's been created. However, before that point, it is not even a glimmer on anyone's radar.
Perhaps, but I believe that not being able to install one or two crucial apps (e.g. banking) would be a deal-breaker for a good portion of those people.
Normalization on a per-mile basis misses the point. You build dense, transit-oriented cities specifically to reduce that denominator. Moving a person one mile has no intrinsic value whatsoever.
To be fair, this isn't solely a problem from the current administration.

Privacy laws in the US have not ever been updated for the computer age. It's still safer to send secret info in a paper letter than in an e-mail, because the laws have never been re-written.

This is not surprising given the generation that's been in power since the 1970s. They didn't grow up with computers, and they don't understand them.

>There is no scenario where Zuckerberg's net worth is reduced to an amount that one person is capable of spending in a lifetime. In terms of acting as an accountability mechanism, what is the difference between $100M and $65B?

This is the problem of your own making when you want to decide for others the amount of money you can steal/take from them for whatever reason (don't really need that much, must be punished an arbitrary number because you think it's fair etc...). Whether it is this topic or another, the conclusion is that people will never be satisfied as long as the person is not homeless. Even if he is reduced to 1 million of net worth, you will say: "but he is still a millionaire while people from the millions of lives he has destroyed earn minimum wages"

As someone else said in this thread, with 50 billion you can invest (angel investment etc..) and live very differently than with 100 million. Most people cannot understand that but they do not need to, and shouldn't feel entitled to understand because this is not their life. The most important thing is that market dynamics truly keep a private entrepreneur/corporation accountable.

I am not saying regulations is never needed, I am strictly strictly speaking about the topic of keeping people in check in the context of this discussion. And net worth is a shortcut to say many other things: trust, reputation, ability to raise money for ventures etc... what I'm saying is that corporations face this type of pressure so there is a line they can't cross (unless the government granted them a monopoly, like in telecoms, but then this is the government's fault).

> What was the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 about then? And did the CEOs of any of the banks that were bailed out by TARP end up suffering any material deprivation as a result?

I do not disagree but these systemic banks are largely extensions of the government, 99.99% of corporations are not banks.

Because a lot of HN readers are located near San Francisco, I thought it would be worth mentioning that this tree is not as tall as the tallest tree in the bay area! There is a 328-foot redwood tree in Big Basin.

https://blog.sfgate.com/stienstra/2013/09/18/328-foot-redwoo...

There are hundreds of amazing, huge trees in Big Basin and I would recommend it to anyone. It is humbling to think that these organisms may outlive you by a thousand years. Even if you aren't into hiking for long distances, or if you are bringing along small children, the one-mile loop trail near the entrance is very nice. So many people come to SF for the tech industry and don't take advantage of the world-class parks that are also in the area.
Given the ability to actually buy an r9-3900x anywhere close to list price, I'm not sure it really matters either way at the moment.

I really dislike that the saying is "money doesn't buy happiness." In German it is much more sensible: "Money alone doesn't make you happy." Which emphasizes the role of money as part of the formula.

One of the reasons for a control group is to provide opportunities for blindness and double-blindness. Placebo effects are (hopefully) very well-known, but that's not the only common cause of systematic error. Allegiance effect also exists--a doctor may score the same patient with the same symptoms differently if there is a reason to favor one interpretation over another, and it need not even be a fully conscious effect.

Denmark has a law that you can't be taxed more than 56% of your income. Then there is 25% VAT (sales tax), so if you're in the top bracket and spend your entire income you can theoretically be taxed 67%. Cars have a special 160% tax (you pay 260% of base price). And there's no capital gains loopholes. There's no payroll tax per se, but the employer contributes to a maternity/paternity fund in addition to some other small items.

It's very true that the Danes receive good free health care and have good universities, but the longer I live here the more I see that a huge amount of tax revenue is squandered on administration. I'm pro taxation, but it's hard to be exposed to such waste.

Don't underestimate what one person can spend. If your reference point is a billionaire lifestyle with a giant yacht, half a dozen estates on multiple continents with staff to manage them, and a private jet capable of crossing oceans to ferry you between them, then with $65B all that is a drop in the bucket and you've got plenty left to spend on whatever political or philanthropic causes you wish, and with $100M you actually have to economize.

> In at least one location, Del Toro Estrada installed a repeater on the roof of a Mexican police station, either a brazen display of the cartel’s impunity or a signal of the department’s corruption.

Definitely the latter. In Tamaulipas, border of Texas, the city and state police is in the narc payroll. They don't pay them a fortune, just roughly what their legal salary is, but understandably elicit more loyalty from them.

This also happens in other Mexican states, but not to such a blatant degree.

Thats not at all how any of the mechanism you're talking about works. The alternative OP speaks of is having no money. Everything gets more difficult if you lack any of this resource.
My comment is not an assumption or a blanket statement, it's the simple reality.

There is never a single company working on the bleeding edge. Those who are take a lot of precautions to keep their secrets and are keen to learn their competitors' secrets.

If you work on the cutting edge in tech just send your CV to your company's main competitor. They'll be quick to invite you for interview... To buy your competitor's product to take it apart and study it is also a time-honoured classic. These are just basic examples.
Nobody is asking you to trust Google more than you already do (if you don't run Chrome, this doesn't impact you at all). But the real question is: do you trust your European ISP more than anybody else that might ever run DNS for you? That seems like an extraordinary amount of trust. What DoH allows you to do is trust someone, anyone else to safely run DNS for you, without exposing anything to your ISP. That's a capability you think Europeans shouldn't want?

The list only uses their last valuation, so YC just acknowledges it's not a perfect metric and publishes the list by last valuation.
That is not why trains are not viable in America.

Trains are far more heavily subsidized than autos, for example, on a per-passenger mile basis. Studies that account for the full bore of taxes which apply to personal vehicles (sales tax, excise tax, gas tax, registration fees) show that cars provide significant net income to government far exceeding infrastructure outlays.

I think that trains being less fuel efficient than cars with 2 occupants also is a good reason why “non-internalized negative externalities” have a hard time helping trains catch up in the final accounting.

If you can cite a study which supports your claim I would be very interested to read it. However, I don’t think the science of accounting for PM2.5 tire and brake dust is at the point where we can calculate the economic cost.

I've been doing ETL-heavy work as (async) Python microservices.

The most important thing is to separate your infrastructure layer from your business logic, and have the infrastructure layer satisfy interfaces that are defines in business logic layer.

That way, when my datastore switches from FTP to S3 or MySQL to Postgres, I can swap out the datastore client, make sure the new one satisfies the interface, and the rest of the application works just the same.

The microservice's database to track and schedule runs is in Postgres, with SELECT FOR UPDATE providing an easy way to treat a Postgres table as a work queue.
