Most people want to work

You grossly underestimate how many people would be content watching cheap entertainment, copulating without concern for consequences, and otherwise enjoying a life of mundane leisure.

The US poverty line is 80th percentile of world income. That’s pretty comfortable for most.
Honestly it is very strange to me that this is being downvoted. The level of outrage that I see is not at all proportional to the number of people affected. This is a very strange phenomenon. I seriously feel that the most heated carriers of torches in this scenario are people who gravitate towards "power play" moments and have happily found a niche where they can be ruthless in their assault.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your point, haven't you just rephrased Karl Popper's "paradox of tolerance?" Advocating freedom to create walled gardens in mainstream computing is what's self-defeating.

I'm curious about the KitchenAid you got: Which one? Looks like the current Sunbeam mixers are fairly "cheap", compared to the KitchenAid "bowl lift" ones.

We have a bowl lift and I love it, though that's with an asterisk... Ours is a ~7 year old one (maybe 10), and the drivetrain is pretty crappy. The accessory port is driven by some really nasty looking sintered metal gears, and some teeth on ours broke, despite never having used the accessory ("PTO"?) port. I ended up taking it apart, I could get replacements for everything but I ended up disabling the accessory port because that part of the drivetrain was so sketchy. The rest of it was just fine.

The newer ones, as far as I can tell from a disassembly video I watched, are vastly superior in the drivetrain. Ours, has been a real workhorse since I did this fix. I used grease with a lot of molybdenum content, but should have used something rated for high temp, because at one point a few months ago my wife had it smoking.
The bug is scaringly easy to trigger. It just takes four system calls, none of which are niche or take unusual arguments.

> Have you ever met someone who changes their gender identity weekly

Isn't that what "gender-fluid" is?

> or asks people to use a derivation-free nonsense word to refer to them?

Isn't that what pronouns like "xir" are all about?

You seem more hung up on "have you personally met someone like that?" than "do these people really exist?" The answer to the latter question is yes, they do.

Excess sugar consumption is widely thought to be one of the worst dietary choices we can make. Impacts insulin resistance, our energy levels, gut flora, etc. You should feel a difference just by sticking to natural sources such as the occasional fruit (some are low in the glycemic index e.g. blueberries, while most at least have fiber which reduces the insulin response).

In a word: bad.

Sunday: Nehemiah Receives Bad News
The way I read it, he says he eats a whole cake a day.
I don’t disagree that Robinhood has a better UI for casual users, but the rest of their UX is awful.

Trades take considerably longer to execute than on other platforms. They tend to hide things that are “advanced”, even when it’s important for a trader to learn to use them (for example, the default Buy type is a Market Order instead of a Limit).

Most brokers have protections in place so you don’t shoot yourself in the foot. For example, say you placed a sell order on Robinhood, but want to cancel it. You have to go through 3-4 clicks to get to the order record and cancel it. Oh, and that horrible UX is a chatbot.

Robinhood strikes me as an app that was designed by folks that have limited trading experience. On the mobile app, you can’t select to view your positions by Total Return and simultaneously view your watchlist by Last Price; you must select one or the other. The watchlist of stocks is of course not going to have a total return, so the app just displays “N/A”.

What Robinhood has actually managed to capture is the “bro trader” mentality of the Trump era bull market, and for that they deserve some credit. Check out /r/wallstreetbets for examples. I think a lot of people associate millennials with being broke and having no concept of financial security, however Robinhood is making a name for themselves as the broker of millennials. It’s just a shame RH is so terrible.

Ask HN: What's your project management setup?

I suspect that Oppenheimer found, in 'following your duty for the good of your tribe', some justification for his moral dilemma. But the mass destruction of cities full of innocents is not, I think, the intended meaning of this Gita passage. Else, what is the whole point of spirituality? So it ends up as yet another expedient distortion.

(Just as the Bible quote 'I came not to introduce peace, but a sword' is -not- about battlefield murders.)

I'm sure that, put into a like position, Einstein would not have agreed to 'serve' in the same way. Nor would he have been the only 'refusnik'.
Because life isn't that simple. To one group "misgendering" people is harassment and therefore not nice. To another group being forced to speak as if someone is a gender you do not believe them to be is patronizing and not nice. No one is intentionally being unkind, other than the people who like to wade into the culture war
Not bad advice from GP when you get to the "see also" section in your linked wikipedia article (pretty much immediately there with one scroll on mobile).
Yes, they proudly call themselves gender-fluid and state that they change pronouns frequently.

And many state to use non-existing words as pronouns such as xhy, requiring a mental effort to remember a new word they invented and also to remember to whom that word is associated, so the satire of using blerg as pronoun is spot-on while also offensive to some.
Agreed. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading most of the commentary here on HN or elsewhere about this.

I get that there's some details about this case that are a bit ambiguous, but it doesn't seem obviously worth a witchhunt of SO. If it seemed to SO like a moderator was looking for loopholes for not enforcing a CoC, then I don't think it's wrong for them to consider the moderator as working in bad faith and not moderator material.
> The debbie-downer perspective would be that for each additional qubit you add, you effectively double the cost of isolation from the environment, quantum error correction schemes, etc.

This is exactly my concern with quantum computing. Not only might it get more expensive but it may simply be limited by the laws of our universe. If the difficulty of entangling and isolating qbits increases exponentially with the number of bits then quantum computing could be a dead end. You may still get some nice results of you can decrease the exponent. I'd love to be proven wrong.
I am personally seeing more and more electric skateboards here in the Bay Area. Not sure if they got cheaper or enough people bought and stuck with it so now I see more. Or Baeder-Meinhof.

I think they are stupid, but people queue for an escalator while a perfectly fine stair is empty right next to it. And while e-scooter as an industry like Lime and Bird is getting regulation all around the world, not sure about these skateboards, maybe with the exception of top speed.
> Would you be okay if the government forced software producers to sell their software anywhere.

yes - i hate that there are platform exclusives (and not just on PC, but on phones).

Things being a commodity is how competition occurs, and how the average consumer reaps the benefits of improvement. Imagine if computer CPUs were not commoditized, and you had to buy into a particular instruction-set. It would cost so much more to do any computing than today, that i think we won't see the explosion of internet till another decade.

Companies that want monopolies know this, and want to delay it as much as possible to maximize a product's profitability without adding extra work. Gov't should try to combat that, while keeping the playing field fair for all.
Well, you can't run a human trial without IRB approval, you can't run an animal study without IACUC approval, and you can't introduce a therapeutic without FDA approval so I'd say that's pretty tightly regulated.
Although you are de-facto right, limitations on the dictatorial power do apply. Both by the international law that guarantees the "freedom" and regulations set by the flag it waves.
These exceptions and limitations do not exist in outerspace, thus only the spaceship captain is totally free/unregulated.
That is weird- I checked bigquery and see the same thing. Note that’s the p95 - maybe more mobile users for google.com than bing?
I agree with you. I had similar experiences of an unexplained smooth euphoria and finding new angles as a useful tool for progress.

I do not buy the distrust of negative emotion. There are keys to the kingdom hidden inside fear and anger. Talking those feelings out and getting to the driving principle underneath them has been worth it's weight in gold.

The relevance realization pathway you describe is important, the successive eurakas are valuable. But when you go off into the unknown that is not structured like a language or a school topic, the Eurekas are several or more steps apart. You need to cope with the overload to grow your output. You are learning to deal with a character challenge.

I think the balance between being vulnerable with your limitations and fears whilst stimulated enough to push to the limit of your competence and minimize flaw in your output and the sword and shield to performance.

High speed learning is different to performance. It is to live on the boundary between being a fool and wise. Struggle is no issue, only credibility matters for truth seeking.
Well, the longer that vulnerabilities are kept secret, the longer that users are unable to take any action to protect themselves, and the less incentive that vendors have to roll out fixes quickly and to prevent vulnerabilities in the first place.

There's even an exceptionally good German movie about this entire phenomenon (it was discovered first in Germany): Die Welle (The Wave)
As you said, race, religions, genders and so on are all about identity. And people are defined by their identities.

If you know the person you're talking about is a cisgender woman, using the gender-neutral pronoun will feel insulting, because by assuming she may or may not be a woman, you look like you're not accepting her as a woman.

It gets yet more offending if you're doing this for a transitioning person. The change of pronoun is their first way to make their transition known, well before having expensive surgery or getting a court order for having their name changed. Refusing the use of their preferred pronoun means you don't accept their transition nor their new gender.

Whether these people are here to see your messages or to hear you talk doesn't matter.

You could be as insulting when talking about ethnicity or religion, in some way. But gender is special because it finds its way in every conversation at some point. Pronouns are used everywhere and every time, you cannot escape it.

Finally, it all boils down to what it costs you not using the preferred pronoun of someone, when you know it. What are you winning for doing this? What's the expected outcome of this "active and voluntary refusal" for you?

I don't think you assume all people you encounter on HN are bald and blind just because you don't know the color of their hair or their eyes. Why would you be so adamant doing this specifically for their gender?

Would it still be legal to produce a model-T? I imagine it would run afoul of all sorts of quality and safety regulations.

That might be linked to the lack of price reductions. I selling a model-T were still legal it would be likely be laughably cheap.

A lot of technology improvements that would have reduced prices are eaten by increased government regulation. The consensus position is that that is a good outcome.
You need to be making an apples or apples comparison for different numbers to be meaningful.

The base golf gets 25 city / 34 highway a Golf R gets 22 city / 29 highway. With a mid tune that golf R gets even worse mileage. These numbers drop further when you talk about a larger car with more wind resistance or weight. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=noform...

Meanwhile the larger Honda Accord is getting 30 city, and 38 highway. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=noform...

Taking a 25+% cut to fuel economy to use a lighter engine is a really bad tradeoff for most people. Especially when the point of this discussion was talking about fuel density comparisons.

On top of this IC’s also need a much larger and more complex transmission among other things which should be included in the weight comparison.
I'll just say, VTOLs are just so stupidly cool. Seeing a plane just sort of pick up and climb into the air like this will never cease to just be 'woah' inducing.

> If you’re joining an early stage venture backed startup and demanding only a salary and no equity, you’ll feel much worse

... because no startup is willing to pay competitive total comp fully in salary. Bigcos mostly aren't either, FWIW, although RSUs of a public company have a lot more liquidity and lower volatility than startup options.
> 10% above poverty level

that is not what the comment is about - you added the above poverty bit yourself.

The idea that labour is a commodity is something _companies_ created when industrialization occured, and even though it sucked for artisans who previously commanded high wages, commodity workers were the reason products became cheaper (as well as machines & industrialization).

Just because you're a commodity worker, doesn't mean you have to be poor. If your skill is in demand, you can still command high prices for it (which is what programmers of today are). I don't doubt that one day, the needs of skills of programming are going to fall off a cliff (i.e., due to AI). But programming as a skill today is still a commodity, and that is a good outcome.
I suppose so. I don't know how much the US spends, or how that compares to other countries, but I do know that from where I'm standing (Canada) it sure does not look like much of a safety net. e.g. gap in employment + health crisis = homeless? yikes!

I'm at least somewhat with you. My in laws have this toaster, and my mother in law loves it dearly. And her beloved Sunbeam toaster is the reason I make do with un-toasted bread for breakfast when we're visiting them.

My experience is very similar to what you describe: The switch that gets it going is finicky, and will frequently play games with you for several minutes before letting you have toast. The darkness seems to be controlled by a random number generator rather than the darkness dial. Aborting toast that's getting a bit too toasty is a non-obvious procedure that tends to involve singing your fingers. I suspect that the thing is a fire hazard.

The reason I stop short of saying it's a bad toaster with a bad design is, the thing is half again as old as I am, and it's probably just that it's starting to wear out.

After half a century.

Name another electric toaster that will make toast at all, however jankily, after that many years of service. The fact that the thing is the bane of my breakfast is kind of a testament to what a great product it was. A lesser toaster would never have survived long enough to torment me so.

(p.s. - I will say that that silent smooth rise out of the toaster, while impressive at first sight, is objectively a nuisance in practice, since it puts it on you to keep track of the time and an eye on the toaster so that you can get your toast when it's done, before it's had time to dry out and become unappetizing becuase you left it bathing in the toaster's residual heat for too long. Which is just way too much to be putting on me in the early morning, when the coffee has yet to take effect and I haven't had a chance to get so much as a slice of toast into my stomach yet.)
It depends a lot on the person and how they prefer to learn.

For people who are very analytical and self-motivated, i think it's fine to suggest reading books fairly early on in their development and just be there to answer questions or indicate how those theories are applied in the company's processes and tooling.

In this case the challenge is more around finding a book to suggest that suits the work. Coaching can end up being more around where to focus or how to skill up on one topic at a time.

Some people find it tough to digest knowledge in written form. In my workplaces this is often compounded by many good tech resources only being available in English and many developers not being native English speakers.

In these cases i have found it helps to start with pair programming (best case) or detailed code review (at minimum). After each "learning session" you can then provide links to references (book, article etc) for more info or background on the comments. This helps contextualize the theory upfront and shows the value of the source.

Sometimes when a certain source is referenced frequently, people take the initiative to read it to better understand the fundamentals for future work. Sometimes they don't.

That's where management comes in, i think. Regardless of whether a person chooses to learn with a book or some other source, at some point they are going to have to be able to solve challenging problems on their own. Managers are able to facilitate growth by allocating tasks that are at the right level of complexity for the dev.

I think the point is that it's not the job of a mentor to step in and solve the mentee's task, but to provide support and explain what sort of techniques and resources may be helpful to solve it. It's still up to the mentee to do the work.
This looks very interesting and addresses a very common use-case - thanks for showing.
I thought about that (and watched a few examples) but these would have a much less powerful motor, so I was curious how it handles it.
Naively I would say cybernetics. To my knowledge I don't think there are many regulations governing the types of things that people can implant in themselves. If you try to market a device as a cybernetic or make health claims about it then the FDA will come after you, but self implantation of hardware is likely not regulated much.

I'm impressed.

Installing on my Mac to test this out was very straight-forward:

cd /tmp
mkdir streamlit
cd streamlit
pipenv shell
pip install streamlit

Then I could play with the built-in demos by running:

streamlit hello

So that was a slick intro - next step was I followed this tutorial: https://streamlit.io/docs/tutorial/create_a_data_explorer_ap...

And a few minutes later I had an interactive notebook-style interface for playing with Uber pickup data in New York.

This is a really interesting product.

I had several teachers in high school and college who would do things like homework could give you about a 10% boost in your grade (eg, from a C to a B), or you could just take your test scores. One class I vividly remember after every quiz/test the teacher would say something like "OK people, I'd like to tell you that you need to do your homework, so you can do well on the quizes, but [toast0] got the best score in the class, and didn't turn in any homework, so I can't; the rest of you, should do your homework though." That was high school chem; I did read the assigned texts, but I didn't bother to do most of the homework, because it was very repetitive, and I was doing just fine as-is; I can't remember if I would turn in the couple of problems I did do, or not even bother to write them down.
Might I suggest that most people who insist on using pronouns derived from one's biological sex (rather than gender) are not attempting to engage in harassment, but are simply refusing to concede a currently unsettled political and societal question?

All should last, Audis are notorious for both sucking and breaking and being extra expensive. I had an a3 for a while and had the transmission replaced three times in 140k miles. The first was under warranty, the other two were $8k. Transmission on my corolla was $3k.

Consumer reports publishes repair costs. Audis are much more than Honda/Toyota/Hyundai.

You can purchase an extended warranty for your Audi, it will cost 3x what it would cost on a Lexus or Toyota.

It’s a fun car to drive, but it costs much more to maintain.
