Same here. If I want to watch the Mariners on TV inside Seattle, I pay a TV provider. I do, so I do.

I don’t mind it very much because I get deals on the handful of streaming services I use so the bundle rate for TV isn’t much of an added entertainment expense. The value I get is a suitable exchange and I don’t have a visceral “I will never pay a cable company one red cent ever again” feeling so it works out acceptably for me.
This sounds fascinating. I wasn’t aware this was an active field of study. Do you happen to know of any resources or literature that can give me an introduction to this or better help me understand the specifics on modelling epilepsy mathematically?
AWS are just developer tools and hosting, right? Google Cloud includes both GCP and gsuite, so it is more like Microsoft office 365 combined with Microsoft Azure.
I'd guess the door desks cost $100-150 to build, more if they had a dedicated desk builder. XD

I have a hard time believing that'd be cheaper than having a stock of ikea desks and having your new employees put them together on their first day.

Source: Someone that had to put an ikea desk together on his first day at his internship. xD

Honestly that was not the worst place I worked at either.
It's probably also because there are a lot of highly paid young guys programmers that don't know what to do with all their money.

Another thing that contributes to the mess of AWS UI is their docs. Probably a personal preference thing, but I don't like their cluttered UI for their docs either. Maybe if they had some developer advocates or pay websites/blogs to post about how to use all 300+ services of AWS (probably an exaggeration... but looking at their dropdown probably not) then it would be better for developers or even companies to come onboard a bit easier.
At some point the discounts offered to use the platform are too good to pass up. Doesn’t mean the support is good.
I disagree. Yes, you should not tell other people how to live their lives.

But if these people who make poor choices and then look for handouts, from your tax dollars, then you have right to complain about their lifestyle.

I had to support my brothers for a long time. They just stayed with my parents, played video games all day, hung out with wrong crowd at night, and complained about lack of money. My parents would guilt me into giving my brothers some handout. And then they complained about capitalism.

And I would complain about them not working and not able to do thing I wanted to with my money but my parent always shamed me for being selfish.

After a lot of nagging and many time refusing to give handouts, they slowly got decent jobs and are doing pretty good. I just wish I had nagged earlier and stopped supporting their lifestyle with my money.

So based on my personal experiences, I don't agree that we should spend our tax dollars on helping poor but don't shame them about their unhealthy lifestyle.
Nuclear has a PR problem just like airplanes because of how high profile the failures are (and to be honest, most nuclear plants are using 1960s tech). People are often irrational, like worrying about their flight while driving to the airport.

We don't : it's way cheaper to just buy them off Amazon or BestBuy, and to then _not_ rent from the cable company.
Echoing your thoughts. For me, it’s cycling. With proper suffering I’ve found the body reverts back to a more primitive form and the only thing it’s trying to do is keep providing the muscles with energy.

Not much time for your brain to wander and latch on to anxiety.
Sadly, it happens more often than you would think. I would suggest keeping your hopes up for other companies that you can apply to, taking whatever learnings you can from this process, and move on.

Definitely ask for feedback from the previous company. Most companies provide feedback as to what went wrong.
Some Quant funds like rentech and peers (quieter) are almost entirely model driven though. They also tend to be the most successful.

That's interesting about 20 years a go one of my Female friends moved away to one of the poorer parts of the UK.

She has now moved back primarly because her v smart daughter saw her career as working on the check out in a supermarket as there are not many high paying jobs out in east Anglia.

Which is the problem of moving from SV to some where cheap you could be limiting your kids opportunities.
This is utterly false. They are usually compensated 3 times the market value. Simply ask common people in China, everybody wants their houses to be torn down by the government.
Sometimes the government cannot afford it, that's why you may see a block of hutong or city-village in a fancy CBD.

I never have any luck figuring out how to do most things in GCP. The disjointed UIs, the documentation that is out of date, etc leave me just going back to AWS.
Agree with comments. Not only quant funds have been around since forever but in fact the new trend is in a hybrid approach of discretionary/fundamental & algo/quant strategy -- see DE Shaw article on their "quantamental" approach in:

Someone in the industry might just have a slightly better idea of what's really going on and that's largely what HN is about.
Hydropower has started to get a worse rep, at least. First-world countries are generally tearing down more large dams than they build, and the Green New Deal explicitly excluded large-scale hydro (i.e. dams) from its definition of "renewable" on this basis.

But it's true that the public backlash to dams is far weaker than nuclear. And together with developing nations being free to dam rivers, but blocked from refining uranium, bulk hydro is probably going to keep outpacing nuclear for a while.
It's non-native anywhere, and so your intuition fails you. Icons change behaviour, the fit and finish is terrible (many text labels do not line up, for instance).

As I said, functionally, it is marvellous. But using it interactively is painful.
So how do you square this with the employees you recruited using the kitchen stock as part of the benefits package sold to them? If you're cutting $30k per year in food expenses, is that then given to the employees to buy the snacks they want, or is it going to your bottom line?
Assuming you discover child exploitation on Facebook, why would you report it to Facebook, rather than the police? The police can actually arrest people.
Yeah, my rate started cheap, and then even after the promotional rate, it just kept creeping up. When it hit $250, I said enough is enough, and cut the cord. At this point, I've saved thousands. Having 3 major streaming services AND the internet is expensive enough, but not as expensive, and the price is more stable.

It's their choice to spend their days watching football because there is a culture of anti-intellectualism. It's not as simple as it's their choice so don't criticize it.
You're making an emotional response to something that you think is about you. Buying a mechanical keyboard and using it without showing it to anyone isn't what anyone was talking about. There are people that buy rare and expensive mechanical keyboards just to take pictures of them and post them on the internet.

I'm not sure why you tried to turn a discussion about hobbies degrading into wealth signalling into your distaste for apple products.

> My $60 GMMK, with 20 minutes of easy modifications, a $30 set of keycaps, and a $90 set of healios switches was the smoothest linear keyboard I've ever used.

Wow. Thank you.

I flirted with the "mech" community for a while a couple of years ago, and ended up with two boards:

A KBParadise V60 with Gateron Browns that I use as my primary keyboard for my desktop. That's mostly a gaming machine for me, but I do code on it quite a bit.

A bluetooth keyboard with low-profile Gateron Blues that I used with my iPad 6th Gen for coding (I use Blink to SSH/MOSH into a VM). That was a good keyboard but the feet broke off, then I upgraded to an iPad Pro and the Apple keyboard cover. It was collecting dust, so I gave it to my 11-year-old.

The GMMK looks like exactly what I was really looking for, for desktop use. I've got some research to do :)
UI is not that bad, but the product is very complicated for startups. For example, I can create a website on Azure with just a few clicks as a single item in my account. On AWS, (even if I use Beanstalk) I have to create VPC, load balancer, security groups, S3 bucket for code and a lot of other things... not easy to manage and takes a lot of time!
An argument propping child abuse as the reason to strip everyone of their right to private conversations (which are essential in the need to balance assymetry in a government’s powers and knowledge and an important tool for activism, organizing and keeping government in check) is not made in good faith.

It creates a false dichotomy framing the argument in order to predetermine its outcome.

When made by the very powers who are known to seek to punish And remove the people seeking accountability and change, it is very suspicious.

If the government wanted to prevent sexual abuse of children, they would address such abuse everywhere, including among its own ranks. This is not the highest priority of governments. Their higher priority seems to increase their powers.

Yes, my preferred way of looking at chords is superimposed intervals. The four chord qualities (major, minor, augmented, diminished) are built like:

- Diminished: Minor Third + Minor Third

- Minor: Minor 3rd + Major Third

- Major: Major 3rd + Minor Third

- Augmented: Major Third + Major Third

With the intervals being between the tonic and third, third and fifth. So for your example, that would be A, C, Eb as a diminished triad.

I don't disagree with you, and the line between ordering and making is fuzzy.

Your examples of an Ikea Sofa and Pizza are great examples of either end of the spectrum. An Ikea sofa has finite configurations that could all be permuted into model numbers, the parts are interchangeable and swapped between models, and prefabricated. A pizza however is completely made to order on demand and if there's a mistake the components are nonrecoverable waste.

With Apple's custom SoC, they're designing a custom circuit however that specification is sent to someone else to manufacture. At it's core, it's not unlike ordering a pizza of astronomically greater complexity. So what makes a custom pizza just an order and not a make? Is it the relative simplicity/complexity of the task?

If I enlist a factory in China to manufacture custom mouse pads based on my exact specifications, did I make a mouse pad or just order it? Does it matter if the mouse pads are just press cut fabric backed neoprene in various colors and shapes?

Glasses are somewhere between an Ikea Sofa and a Pizza in terms of modularity. The lenses and frames are off the shelf but once cut the lenses are spent if an error is made. Glasses however have much more exacting specifications than a pizza or a Sofa.

Sorry I wasn't clear! What I'm getting at is when you're flexing in Discord/GeekHack/Reddit using a Alice is a very strong signal.

Just using it as your personal keyboard in normal day-to-day settings isn't nearly the same. Because you're not actively showing it off.
How is this different than closed source?
A few years ago I was in a T-mobile store (making the switch from AT&T) and the sales guy kept trying to get me to include add-ons to my base contract (e.g. unlimited international calls).

He kept trying to convince me, and I kept saying “no I don’t want that”. At the (final?) step when reviewing the contract I saw he’d still included some of the add ons.

I asked him to remove them, and he started the spiel about why I should include them again.

This is the rudest I’ve ever been to a salesperson, but I didn’t even say goodbye: I just walked out, went home and ordered a sim online.

I’ve often wondered if he was just new/poorly trained or actually intentionally trying to trick me.
Did it ever occur to you that people buy Apple stuff because it’s just good/better?
Doesn't do what?
Because there isn't enough space. 4 or 5 parking spaces is the same footprint that a 1 bedroom apartment would consume, then multiply that by the number of floors which is often between 4 or 8 in the outer parts of "central" London.

So 4 to 5x25000 for parking spaces, or 4 to 8x650000.

Underground parking is possible but rare - you see it more these days, but then it costs significantly more than just a tarmac lot outside both to construct and to purchase a space in. Multistorey aboveground would take up space that would be used by apartments and would never get past planning approval in a residential area.
I've been writing C and C++ for thirty years and I've made many mistakes but never that one. I suspect it's far more common if an always-uses-braces programmer edits an optional-braces code base. I'm not religious about it though. If the Romans are wearing braces I'll wear braces.
Haskell's type system is unsound? I don't know about this and if it's true then it is some rarely used case. Don't throw away types altogether because of some rarely used case... Types are very very useful.
Ew. Isopods are gross. Questionable naming here...
" think their usual rationale of being "environmentally friendly" is really wake-washing/cover for wanting to fit in more apartments that sell for £650,000-1,000,000+ each, vs parking spaces which only sell for £25,000 each."

...and?

The fact that apartments cost more than homes means that the market values that area more highly for human habitation than for car habitation. Perhaps you simply can't afford to store your car there.

Also, what are you talking about? Lying? Please support your statement before leveling this accusation.
I use split keyboards, and for me I can't go back.

I'm able to reposition them so that I sit up straight and no longer have my wrists cocked at a weird angle. The ability to move them throughout the day means I can change where each half is and how angled they are depending on how i'm sitting (leaning back i'll move them more parallel, sitting forward i'll angle them more "outward", etc...) I also "tent" my split keyboards, so they are at like a 15 degree angle with the inside being the "tallest".

That alone have stopped the carpel tunnel pain I was starting to get while using "traditional keyboards".

But aside from that, the crazier "custom built" keyboards tend to run firmware that allows pretty insane customization to the keyboards which I genuinely can't see myself ever going back. Things like being able to make a dedicated key to commit my work in my editor, what I call "physical bookmarks" which are keybindings that will open websites or apps on my PC, and being able to move around the keys and add layers for various things (my left-alt key acts as left-alt when held down, but presses escape when tapped).

It does come with it's drawbacks though. I have a hard time transitioning back to a normal qwerty keyboard now, and that means I take my split keyboard with me when I travel if I'm expecting to use the laptop significantly. It's not that I can't, but that my muscle memory is really ingrained now and I end up making a lot of mistakes.

$30 is going to be really hard to find a split keyboard for, but if you are willing to get your hands dirty and do some soldering and flashing of components, you can pickup the parts for a "DIY" keyboard kit for probably around $100 if you do your homework. Something like [1] is about $20 for the PCBs and diodes, $20 for the mounting plates, and then you'd need to find some cheap-er switches and keycaps as well as 2 ~$9 controller chips. It's not off-the-shelf for that cheap, but it's doable.

Why people keep saying that GCP UI/UX is good. Is it because of Firebase? Because granted, that's a very nice UX. But when you log in to the GCP console that thing is a fucking mess. Way more complicated than AWS, with a very subpar UX...

And don't get me started with their documentation. What a piece of crap. It's like nobody thought that things of this nature require a clear hierarchy. It's just a blob of concepts organized in no meaningful way... Not saying that AWS is perfect, but at least with their documentation, you just gotta keep reading until you find what you need. With Google Cloud sometimes you hit these walls that take you out of context and the only solution is to close that tab and start again.

Ohh. And just to be fair with everyone crappiness in this space, Azure is even worse. Their console is another horrible experience.

Nobody in this industry thought about the UX of these things. They are all disastrous...

And believe me that I have studied this from multiple angles. I worked at AWS for two years trying to solve UX issues and it's just an endless battle. Developers deserve better user experiences... Nobody is thinking about this with the intensity and focus that it deserves.

> they're now an ethnic minority in Tibet, practice of their spiritual beliefs is either outright banned or strictly controlled.

Not according to Wikipedia:

"In 2011 the Tibetan population was three million.[33] The ethnic Tibetans, comprising 90.48% of the population,[34] mainly adhere to Tibetan Buddhism and Bön, although there is an ethnic Tibetan Muslim community."

Also not according to my personal experience. I've never been to the Tibetan Autonomous Region, but I have been to an ethnically Tibetan part of Sichuan, and you certainly see a majority of people who look Tibetan, people speak the Tibetan language, taxi drivers ask if you don't mind if they stop and pray at Tibetan Buddhist shrines along the road, restaurants serve yak butter tea, and so on. There's simply no way to claim that Tibetan culture is gone or even endangered.
It's actually consistent. The point here is that Google Cloud is undervalued, hence the high buy rating with a target of $1.6k. That would imply a market cap of $~1.1 trillion, meaning that the worth of the rest of Alphabet (sans Cloud/Waymo valued @ $335B) would be $775B.
But the list is growing and constantly updating internal firewall can quickly get exhausting.

I definitely agree that a lot of previously unaware people took notice.
Yes, they could. The state was formed by people from non aristocratic backgrounds and it is undeniable there was upward mobility compared to the rigid caste system of the Russian Empire.

You can argue that it was a totalitarian government ruled by dictators, but you cannot argue that it was ruled by an aristocracy or that a peasant couldn't rise up to rule the country.

A well connected Party member or apparatchik could live relatively decently regardless of his ancestry, on "merit" (connectedness) alone. Yes, he could also get shot or imprisoned, but the same was true with the Empire, where he'd never rule.

Stalin was born in a poor family. Lenin's was wealthy middle class, but not aristocratic. Trotsky was born to (wealthy) farmers. Kruschev was the son of peasants
and Brezhnev the son of workers. Just to name a few...
“ If for some people in power this mean I'm either a murderer, a rapist, a drug dealer, a pedophile, a terrorist, or whatever, they're free to spend taxpayers money to find out how wrong their assumptions were, then get voted out of their seats. ”

You don't have to, but most people do.

I supplied my own modem. I see no fee. I haven't had TV service since 2007.

I have Comcast and my bill is $60/mo (total) for 250Mbps down, 10Mbps up (and get that reliably). When it's about to go back to $90-100/mo in May (promotional price expires), I will give them a 15-minute call to get back down to that $60/mo for another year.

My parents on the other hand have a TV package, internet, and phone through them, while renting a set top box and their modem. They pay somewhere around $200/mo. I've informed them of their options (and offered to set it up for them), but they elect to not care.

I keep seeing the word "homestead" lately. Is that a thing now?
Sure, but the focus of the report is that we now have an idea of who faked the comments. Since the FCC shrugged and declined to investigate, that's taken a long time to arrive.

Granted, "small media firms deniably hired by an industry lobby group" is basically what everyone expected, but it's still interesting to see how it panned out.
For anyone near a Warby Parker, they'll happily measure your PD in about 30 seconds. Measurements can vary slightly so you might want to do it a few times and average them.
Erm. Not having used (nor heard) the term "status signaling" before, I'd suggest that "status signaling" is a status signal that you (and now me) is trying to impress someone. ;-)
Yes, sadly. ....b/c Comcast, ATT, and a few others have been allowed to control all the pipes (including access to the internet). Most places only have two options. Where I live it is either Comcast or ATT. So if you want to "cut-the-cord" on cable guess what...you are still going to pay one of those two companies for the internet. ...And guess what if you don't buy a bundled (tv+internet) package? then the individual price of internet only goes up ...and comes with bandwidth limits (ie overage fees). Solution? Buy the fast internet option, bundled with lowest TV package (literally emergency services level tv). Cost $70 month @100mps with unlimited bandwith (b/c you now have a bundle). Then add a SlingTV package. Couldn't be happier with this setup. The Sling package is even better than the cable package I had before. Still....all the hoops to jump through is ABSURD.

I wonder if security might be a reason. Hidden areas are also areas where you can be mugged, attacked, etc. without witnesses. Maybe on some level people are intentionally designing things to avoid that.
