How much of that $1300/month goes to dental and medical insurance? Because with no family to support, I don't see how you aren't paying close to half that in insurance.
yeah, i don't typically shout things in a restaurant, these days anyway. But if a dystopian world is unfolding around me, all bets are off and I will be making the rules.

Can we get this article flagged? If I wanted something like this I’d visit /news or /worldnews.

Immigration and the political climate in the US is very hot right now. It’s not the reason I read HN, if you want your rage fix read elsewhere.

> Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
I'm not all that cynical about it. I don't think that people (micro-)blogging made up stories (which this may or may not be) means there's something terribly wrong with them. It's a white lie told repeatedly with a straight face. It's worse than a white lie told once, but not as bad as a more directly harmful lie like faking an illness and collecting money from strangers on GoFundMe.
> Imagine you want to have some small hyper local group such as Memorial Park Dog Owners. Obviously, members will not pay for such a group, but the organizer is on the hook for almost $200 a year.

It is 4 big macs a month. It is 3 Starbucks coffees a months. It is 3 cans of soda bought as singe units in a super market a month.

If a group cannot afford it, then maybe stop pretending that the group needs RSVPs or other services. Use a paper and a pen and pin an announcement on the bulletin board of a park.
Just drink diet soda if you think it tastes good and drink normal soda if you think that tastes good, and don't drink soda too often in general. Constantly worrying about things like these probably takes more years off your life than the difference between normal and diet soda.
First, I think there's some trouble in your statement about irony, because you're generalizing all Americans and some perspectives on Americans and then saying they contradict each other. Contradictions aren't valid when they're based on hand-wavy generalizations.

But second, to your point, polarization is studied, and it has grown in American as well as elsewhere on the planet. I've been listening to the Argument Ninja podcast [0] about the topic, as well as reading the series by Tim Urban [1] to better understand what's happening, and hopefully learn what, if any, solutions (and hope) exist.

The bank account number is written on the card. European bank accounts make a lot more sense than in the US, your account number is a public number that can be used to receive money only and there is a transfer number for making payments.
Thanks for the feedback. While I’m sad you had a bad experience, I’m happy to report that we’ve made significant improvements to those areas. Capacitor comes with a solid push API out of the box, and we will be launching App Store submission in Appflow soon! Appflow also supports Capacitor as of this summer.
I wonder how the policy discussions looked when considering the impact on poor parents who have to be at work. Maybe the thinking was that the start time of 7:30-8AM was already too late to save these folks, so 8:30AM would not make them much worse off? Or maybe there are fewer people in these circumstances than I fear?

Very cool! I created urlpages [0] as a proof-of-concept with a similar goal. It is always interesting to read about how others try to solve the same problem.

CentOS is a community project, with Red Hat's backing. You don't go willy-nilly trample on a community. And Red Hat definitely "knows better" on dealing with open source communities more than most.

I feel a lot of it boils down to what we, as humans, know about trust: it takes aeons to build it, but you can destroy it with a single reckless action.

PS: Work for Red Hat; views expressed here are personal, of course.
You're making it worse.

Anyone can conveniently lose a wallet, but one with a bank card with no identifying info in it anywhere? A finder who went to bizarre lengths to make Faster transactions to your bank account to send you a message? Absolutely no other identifying information in the wallet? A plan to ride a jump bike around to prove you looked for it with receipts?

Before sending someone pennies with context in the transactions, hoping that person would get them before they canceled all their bank accounts because they lost their wallet, I would just take the card to the bank and have them call the owner, or take it to the police and they'd do the same.

Uhg, sorry, "I ensure you" and "jump bike receipts" is not enough to convince me.

EDIT: Removed the quotes from Faster, my point seemed to get lost because of that.

The freezing water daily is really not recommended if you did not started years ago. It is quite popular around here, I do it too and I have already seen ambulances going. It is easy to overdo it. It is all fun and endorphins until it is not.

The age plays a role in terms of more likely heart problems. Not sure how about the adaptation, how it is affected by age. Muscles matter.

Young males end in ambulances too. The emphasis on old ladies here us because frankly old ladies are supposed to be least capable species. I know they can be tough.

But daily freezing water swim without prior training is bad idea. The processes in your body are supposed to run changed for multiple days and if you do it daily it is not getting recovery. Just like with weight lifting every day, beginners risk injury for doing so.
Olathe (Southern Suburbia). Yeah, Topeka and Wichita are off the menu for me, but I'd gladly be anywhere between Lawrence and Lees Summit (on the Missouri Side) South of I-70 and North of Gardner. And while Downtown KC isn't going to stack up to the non-stop adventure of a "Big City", there's still plenty to do, and the other quality of life bonuses add up.
It’s a kind of idiocy that you find in ideologues of all stripes. “My ideology says this thing is axiomatically good, therefore more of this thing must axiomatically be better!”

It’s just the nature of ideologues to think this way; you don’t become an ideologue by practicing pragmatism.
It's a pity that such a powerful drug has been demonized.

Nice hack.

The "official" way of dealing with lost property in the UK is to take it to your local police station. If no-one claims it within 6 weeks, you might be able to keep the item. I certainly remember doing this a few times when younger. Not so sure many people know this nowadays.

Anyway, my mother lost her purse a few months back in the small town in Scotland where she lives. Someone suggested she try her local police station (actually not so local any more thanks to the current government having closed over 600 police stations[0]) and lo and behold someone had handed it in there!

> We were told <...>

Yeah. Say no more... If only you would have looked.
Anyhow, Oracle does the following:

- Contributes pretty much all of the closed source technologies (or what was originally to become closed source) of the Oracle JDK to OpenJDK, for example giving the community: JDK Flight Recorder; JDK Mission Control; ZGC; …and probably more stuff I can’t think of right now;

- Ensures the Oracle JDK and the OpenJDK builds are virtually indistinguishable;

- Starts providing a free OpenJDK build (which includes all these donated technologies);

- Provides uncountable man hours of maintaining and innovating the Java platform;

- Ensures that the community knows where to find the free bits by linking to them, and slaps on a bright yellow warning sign, so that everyone can see that the licensing has changed;

And how does the community react, you wonder? Yep, that’s right. “Oracle is the Devil”, “This is a bait and switch operation” etc. Ad nauseum.

ONCE AGAIN. You do not need to use OracleJDK. Just use OpenJDK from AdoptOpenJDK.
>Even if you trust the American government, people in repressive regimes can still make use of this.

I think an important point to make is that just because you trust the American government now, doesn't mean that this won't change in the future. Which is why the core tenets of free speech and privacy should be protected at all costs.

If I'm going to take a piss or dump in the WC I'd like to think I can leave my suitcase for a few minutes without people deciding I'm a terrorist.

Deciding I might be a terrorist because I went to the bathroom? That's what is absolutely batshit insane.
I'd agree with you if it were just the first message. But they then explained exactly what they meant and why, and that's what I offered them feedback on.

They apologized to the person they said it to, and it all seems settled from my perspective.
Second biggest mistake I did for my startup; creating a c-corp and the major headaches that came with it. First mistake was reading startup glories and successes and pitching to investors and killing my time. I heard the term "toxic positivity" to describe this. And also the blog that was posted here about not focusing on revenue but making software "bigger" and "better". No offense but it's wrong: focus on the revenue. If people are not paying, your software is worthless.
Glad to hear that! And while creator.ionic.io likely won't get more love, our new Ionic Studio product is quickly catching up to the simplicity of the drag and drop experience in Creator and will quickly be surpassing it, so I hope you check that out! https://ionicframework.com/studio

Would you please stop breaking the site guidelines with accusations about astroturfing and shilling? These perceptions are overwhelmingly in the eye of the beholder, and posting them casually without evidence is one of the worst discussion-degraders. Moreover you did it in another context recently too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20882548. Not cool.

A wealth tax encourages spending, for example on private school tuition, SAT tutors, and other things that can help your kids. It only hits the money/assets you have left at the end of the year. It's also likely unconstitutional in the US (despite being backed by an HLS professor, who you'd think would know better). Andrew Yang is backing a heavy consumption tax, which would be used to give cash to all adult Americans. This would have the opposite effect, since it would encourage savings over spending.
We see that sometimes and it's almost universally apps that are just websites wrapped up, or more "brochure" apps. Apple doesn't like those, but it has nothing to do with Ionic/Cordova/Capacitor.

Most cards have a business name or person's name. Taking the card to the police or the bank would get a call directly to them.

Who would think, I'm going to start a chain of 1 penny transaction to contact this person at this bank account, and hope they get them before they cancel their bank account because they lost their wallet.

And is this a wallet with cash and a single card with no identifiable information on it? NOTHING else?

EDIT: Because I can't reply below: because they have access to that bank account now. Pretty simple. The card in question is said to have their banking info right on the card, so you close that account and start a new one.
For what it is worth, I saw this story and thought "Oh, I love this; creative use of metadata in the payments system", principally because I am professionally involved with payments. All the "coincidences" here are explainable by "people who geek out on X will tend to see a lot more X in their daily lives than civilians and will become focal points for other people who geek out on X, who see a lot more X in their daily lives than civilians." You can trivially reproduce "OMG banks!" on any social media feed you control; just kvetch in public about a banking story.

Also, there are people on HN who do marketing for a living (checks business cards including me?), and to the extent that you model someone as going into their planning meeting with "OK guys I have this great idea for how to hit our Q4 numbers: lets do stealthmarketing on our personal Twitter accounts", you should know that that would not receive the reply "Genius Bob, why do we employ teams of expensive professionals to do this when you come up with such pearls of wisdom for free."

Mentioning this half because excessive cynicism is a failure mode for geeks and half because many people on HN will, at some point in their life, actually have to get good at causing people to adopt a product or service, and HNers should correct the mental model that would suggest that this is in any way aimed at or effective at causing adoption of a product or service.
This is cool. I wonder about the hardware. Why does the mount for the hand have a fan? Does it contain the inference computer? Power transformers?
From what I understood, video calls are not mandatory for getting selected. I am not sure how much it affects your chances of getting in, but decisions for on-site interviews should be out tomorrow.
Mid 20s guy here; I lived in San Antonio a few years back for a year and spent every other night driving up to Austin, because there is basically nothing to do in downtown SA unless your only interests are drinking and food trucks.
By "truly inactive" I mean voters who can't vote because they're dead, no longer live in that voting district, never actually existed, or are ineligible to vote. If these names appear as having voted, those are invalid and might be an indication of fraud.

There's the another type of fraud, of course, where people use the names of active voters. A lot of people don't vote, so yeah, it could happen that someone else just takes their place.

Whatever the case, both of these "fraud" scenarios are insignificantly small compared to the ham-fisted improper purging of thousands of names, and other suppression tactics such as gerrymandering.

A very good point and nobody has any clue whatsoever because GDPR is a huge mess and it wasn't created with everyday realities of users in mind. That being said GDPR is probably better than nothing in terms of data rights and privacy but only marginally better.
Anecdotal: a friend (filipina) was married to a Dentist in Switzerland. She was generally assumed to be a prostitute or mail order bride.

Needless to say she's struggled to integrate and make friends and the country has forever tainted their experience for the worst.
Weird, a lot of meetups that I see have fees set up and say that you get into the meetup free if instead you register on Meet More You www.meetmoreyou.com

So they are trying to get people on the platform by putting up a paywall on meetup so that nobody that is tech literate would actually sign up on meetup.

I am surprised that this site hasn't been mentioned once. It seems pretty decent.
It's an ATM card.
It's not Apple's job to parent your kids, and "smart phone addiction" is an over-hyped fad scare. If someone is super concerned about their teen watching minecraft videos at 2am on vacation, they should take their kid's phone away at night. But also, they're on vacation, and it's not like they're watching porn, so is it even that bad?

This is a bit of an inflammatory comparison, but I stayed up reading with a flashlight a lot as a kid. Was that terrible for me? Should my flashlight have had a setting to limit the times I can use it? Would anyone say I had an unhealthy book addiction, and that publishers should do something about it?
You can, Red Epic does it with what they call HDRx, Magic Lantern does it with Dual ISO,
zcam E2 do it with WDR - all more or less the same things - you take two exposures for every frame. Doesn't always work for fast action, but for some shots it really helps. This is a really good blog post on the topic - https://medium.com/@jasonzhang_22759/wdr-of-e2-369a12d39a7f

Also, if your image bit depth is high enough, you can create "virtual" multiple exposures from a single image and do exposure fusion. Google already do this with HDR+ on stills.

The bit depth stored from the sensor could be a lot higher than the current 8bits most mobile phones use for video, if you have full control of the ISP. Cinema cameras can process and store 12-16bit video (Red, Blackmagic, Arri).

Even Apple does this to some degree with their "extended dynamic range" video on newer iPhones, though the saved files are still 8bit.
You don't seem to actually understand how Redux works.

All interactions revolve around "dispatching" an action to the store. The root reducer function is called as part of that `dispatch()` sequence. This gives a central point that allows tracing the resulting state changes:

store.dispatch({type: "INCREMENT"})

The store can be configured on app startup to enable the Redux DevTools browser extension to automatically log all dispatched actions, including showing the action types and viewing the results of each dispatched actions (action contents, resulting state, and state diff vs the previous state).

This isn't "fixing a problem" with Redux, this is a core designed capability to allow you to understand how your app is behaving.
...it's a card that you use to pay for things in store, taking money from your bank and giving it to the store, and to get money from ATMs, taking money from your bank and giving it to you in cash.

I know for a fact you have them in the US. A 'debit card' maybe?

It uses the Visa or Mastercard payment networks, supports chip, contactless, swipe, or you can enter the numbers online, and also has useful information like your bank account number and routing number on. If you give other people that information they can pay you money even though you're not a store. Which is what happened here.
Did you find your MBA valuable?
It's cool that this exists. I might even try to port a program to it, for my own amusement. But I don't see the big draw.

VMS had its pros and cons as compared to Unix/Linux. VMS' help system is really nice. However, VMS filenames are baroquely complex (yes, automatic versioning can be nice, but the rest of it was insane). Even at its height, VMS lost to Unix, and Unix plus Linux are now completely dominant in the areas VMS once filled and has had decades to fill in missing capabilities. I don't see what the big draw of VMS would be over Unix/Linux, at least enough to justify it. The world doesn't need another proprietary operating system, especially one incompatible with what people have now been doing for decades.
Looting a company is hardly "right."

Plus the looting started before retail began to collapse.
I used TruCluster (late 90s thru 2006) which was Tru64 UNIX (from DEC UNIX), I think it shared a lot of tech with VMS clustering. Many interesting ideas, such as being able to write to the filesystem with a guaranteed IO rate from any cluster node (100MB/s at a tiime when that was a lot) and many other things that are less interesting after you rewrite your software around not needing clustering.
What does that article have to do with comment fields on transactions?
The largest benefit as far as I can see is to lower the barrier of entry to mathematics for young people. Well known mathematicians have already passed this barrier so perhaps it's not as relatable a problem to them. I for one would have loved to learn Tau instead of Pi, and I believe educators would love to have a more engaged classroom as well.
Sometimes it happens, and sometimes not. I lost my wallet 4 times in total, 3 in Brazil (which is $HOME), 1 in Germany. Got it back 3 out of 4 times. Guess where.
This looks the best! I'm considering moving my community here now.
It's a combo. While we offer support and advisory services to medium-to-large enterprises, increasingly companies are deploying our native solutions for local app security (https://ionicframework.com/identity-vault) or our Mobile DevOps service that has seen a lot of growth recently (https://ionicframework.com/appflow). Finally, our new Studio product has been growing very quickly and will be getting a lot more "low code" dev features in 2020 (https://ionicframework.com/studio). Those products are sold on a subscription basis, either yearly w/ multi-year contracts for bigger companies, or on a self-service basis.

If you're curious I did a 2019 business update with more details: https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/

At a high level we are generating real revenue, growing > 100% y/y (and our enterprise business is ~1.5 yrs old), and nearing profitability.
I would say those are not comparable cities. Way more to do in KC (but not as much as like Chicago).
