Show HN: TrainHard – Connecting Athletes with Trainers
I don't think you need to convince anyone here that automated systems fail. I think many of us have been affected by such systems. Accounts blocked for no reason, etc. Glitch.

The problem is not the automated systems. The problem is zero recourse.

If nothing was automated then we'd have to wait hours on the phone to get to an actual human to do something trivial. Or make an appointment, travel somewhere, spend few hours to get something simple done.

In an automated world most of the time things work out.

The situation becomes despicable where there's no one to complain to and no way to seek redress.

In the tech world it became pretty common to seek support by Twitter shaming. Often there's no other route.

Still, it's not the automation that is at fault. It's the greedy humans. They could save 80% of the cost while keeping everyone happy but they'll chose to save 90% of the cost at the price of making many miserable.

Can't change the human nature?
In the long run, yes. But it doesn’t mean that on a case-by-case basis we won’t see people with trait enhancing mutations that are maladaptive in other ways — like high intelligence in combination with mental illness.
No, that's also illegal and prosecuted. It has to appear magically behind their counter in quite small amounts, or else.

The original post was talking about income tax. There are plenty of other taxes on making money by working.

But, if you're living solely off investments you don't pay those. I was surprised to see that capital gains tax is zero below a certain income. It seems rather unfair, since you can choose when to sell.
I mean, for all fairness, one side is using non-market arguments to disallow acquisition, another side uses non-market ways to get access to this technology.
Am I allowed to make such statement?
Exactly. Maybe I can take this approach with a Stephen King novel, but trying to read non-fiction which I want to remember and absorb requires longer periods of focus, for me at least.
I've owned it for 45 months. I'd like to get another 5 years out of it as a daily driver with minimal upkeep.

Also, it's not a car - it's an SUV - so it's going to cost more than a car. I bought it because I really wanted an old 4Runner, not because I wanted the cheapest car.

Words vs action have nothing to do with what I was saying, and I don't see where you've made a convincing case that they should be separated.

As for Barr and Gillis, both ABC and NBC acted immediately to get rid of them when it looked like they would hurt their bottom line. Is that "cancel culture" to you?

> If I made vile jokes about Trump and his kids, I’d get a Netflix special.

Which kids? Who is out there making fun of Bannon, or are you saying Eric/Don Jr/Ivanka/[that other one] are off limits?

I'm not aware of anyone targeting any under age Presidential children..........

Oh except when Malia was being called out for drinking under age, I guess. Or, here's former Presidential candidate John McCain making a joke about Chelsea Clinton (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/02/women.j...). So I guess if you make a joke about Trump's kids, you get a Netflix special; make a joke about a Democrat President's kid, run for President?
I've had enough mediocre experiences with MBAs and CS master's graduates alike that either puts me on my guard, these days. Not sure what the deal is with that.
I used Ionic for 2 projects a few years back. Support on GitHub was, frankly, crap. I can sympathise to some degree, because they were still trying to figure out a commercialisation model, but they were far more interested in shipping new stuff and breaking things than actually stabilising what they already had. Major bugs affecting lots of people were ignored forever or closed without comment. It made for a horrible dev experience, and I honestly can't see myself touching it again with an extra-long barge pole.
The Tor network hasn't been shut down, has it?

Dark sites of all types still continue to run uninhibited for the most part. From my readings, the major or at least known/researched security holes have been plugged already by the developers, and the rest of convictions have happened because of user error, not the technology involved.

If memory serves me correctly, one particular pedophile abuser was caught after years of being investigated because he was identified through skin marks (I want to say it was freckles on his hand, though I don't recall the exact details of the article) that led investigators to him, not anything technological.

I'm a proponent of total anonymity online because it allows for whistleblowers to leak information that is untraceable to them (again, without consideration of human error). In the case of Wikileaks, for example, even though they weren't on an anonymous network, it still led to the largest classified information leaks known, from NSA tools to national and international communications between heads of states, diplomats and everyone in between. The general consensus was that it was a good thing. I don't necessarily agree with that, but one can't discount its value.
You are aware that it is publicly known that the US government has been practicing a "collect anything you can get your hands on about everyone" approach for a while now, right?
> maybe a sensor goes bad, and all of a sudden you're spamming your logs at 10,000x the normal rate.

Sure, but sensor error reporting frequency should also be documented and calculated somewhere. Embedded requires more planning, this stuff isn't like AWS instances where the worst case is a larger bill.

And from the sound of it just general usage is causing problems.
I have a hard time believing PostgreSQL performance is better than Oracle, can you give an example? How big is your database and how much did migrating cost you?
I agree it's the right call, my remark is only about the communication style (e.g. "frankly, I don't care") and how it comes off to an outsider to the community.
I'm not so sure. .onion sites are already close to anonymous and uncensorable. the people who do illegal stuff on the darknet seem to get caught because of personal mistakes much more often than a vulnerability of the medium itself.

even if you had some perfectly anonymous, uncensorable medium with zero security flaws, people would still make mistakes and get caught. it's never impossible for the state to catch someone, but it can certainly be too expensive to be worth it. this is a feature imo, not a bug. it should be expensive to investigate people.
That argument is inconsistent. You say that that humans don't have capacity for 200 books, yet have capacity for the equivalent of social media?

I read on average a little short of 200 books a year. I don't feel rushed. It works out a bit more than a book every other day. And you can fit more than that over the weekend.

I don't understand the hostility here. I read books because I enjoy it. Nothing beats a book for information density. Do you watch TV series? You can read Song of Ice and Fire faster than you can watch a season of Game of thrones.

All $Dollar values are 2013 Census values taken in 2017 dollars.

* NYC median household income is $57k

* Philadelphia median household income is $40k

* Washington DC median household income is $77k

* San Francisco median household income is $96k

* Austin Texas is $63k.

Stats from: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/austincitytexas...

So even in San Francisco, the most expensive city I'm aware of, the average HOUSE brings in $96k. A single man (or woman) bringing $100k working in San Francisco is decidedly well-above average.

Bring in $100k in San Francisco, and your wife (or husband) doesn't even need to work to live like the median.

Other cities, a $100k job (with a stay-at-home wife / hosband) will be 30% to 100% higher than the median. $100k is a lot.

It's not the best idea to always unconditionally use .array because you might want to preserve the laziness of a Result type. By using .array you're saying you want all of the results into memory right now! Depending on what you're doing, you might not want that.
...not while Jeff Bezos (the founder) is in charge, because he knows he will only have one Amazon in his life. Sears and JCPenney probably did well while their founders were in charge, as well.

But, once it's run by somebody who could move on to somewhere else next and has no particular attachment to this particular CEO job, it can go downhill no matter how high the hilltop you're on.

We haven't seen what Facebook, Amazon, or Google look like when a non-founder is in charge, but we know Apple nearly got run into the ground after they kicked out the founder. They are doing better now, but I notice that it took the return of the founder to put them back on track.

When it's just about the money, and you can move on to another company to loot it later, the company has very little protection from its own CEO.

Kipchoge's Sub-Two-Hour Marathon: How Legitimate Is It?
"Memories" is an interesting way of spelling "nightmares".

The Dynamo part of it, the pure application server part, had a few genuinely decent features. I've never seen a dependency injection framework like Nucleus, despite the fact that it makes an awful lot of sense. And you got /dyn/admin!

The whole publishing thing - derive a versioned dual of your database schema, edit data in it using a reflective CMS, then automatically publish changes to your production database - is kind of amazing. Source control for databases. I haven't seen anything else like that. Apart from just putting databases in source control, i guess. It occasionally got absolutely screwed up, but the idea was cool!

But a lot of it was absolute garbage. Repositories, where database entities are mapped to these crappy dictionary things that you need to either wrap or go mad trying to customise to actually use. Form handlers, whole classes for what would be a single handler method in a modern framework. The wacky build and packaging stuff.

And then whole commerce layer of it. Pipelines where the majority of the steps are about doing cleanup and normalisation that's only necessary because of how weak ATG's data model is, and the real commerce value could have been a single 20-line function, and adding your own stages becomes and exercise in boilerplate-smithing. Catalogue maintenance, which you have to run sometimes, because apparently it's too hard to just keep the database consistent. Scenarios, the businessperson-usable customisation tool that isn't, in practice, usable by businesspeople!
Every business needs money. Why we are so bitter every time a business charging for service fees? the society is so familiar with free stuff and ads.
On the other hand if Oracle started charging more that would allow Amazon to justify spending more on internal investment to speed up the migration.
I'm glad I can share the opposite experience. We developed a B2B app which featured a maps module and some fancy visualizations. It was well received and a pleasure to work on. No porting issues and the Android performance was fine with the webview plugin.
I have no beef in this fight. But seeing how the author exaggerates (to a point some would term lying) the license update makes me suspicious.

It seems any company or platform at some point sees an inflection of the public opinion, followed by an endless series of negative articles making the front pages on social media.

That could be consistent with good companies suddenly turning bad. But I suspect it's just as consistent with peoples' tendency to enjoy drama, tearing down the previous generation's idols, and being adored for speaking in one voice with the hive.

FWIW I have seen no change in SO's usefulness over the years. I also still remember everything that came before, even though I would like to forget. And I'll continue to post answers when the opportunity presents itself.

Genuine question, what would putting StackOverflow first improve compared to running "!so query", redirecting to SO's own search? These bang notation commands are often easy to guess, similarly !gi (I use it often, maybe should try more of DDG Images after reading the OP), !gscholar etc.

I do like having an alternative general search engine, for one. So imposing a "coding" restriction would be a little sad.

Maybe bangs could also indicate topics inside normal search. (edit: sorry, already suggested by a sibling!)
It may work for that query but it doesn't work for the query in general, especially with multiple words.

I run into this frequently when searching error messages. Quoting the error is useless, it still returns pages that contain parts of the quoted string.

I'm going to be a little petty here, so sorry in advance:

It's common for Tesla fans to mock other automotive manufacturers for being "old and slow" - as if they're incompetent because they take so long to develop new features and adapt to changes in technology. It's like a "why does it take 5 years for BMW to update their infotainment system when I can do the same thing with a Raspberry Pi in 5 minutes?" mentality.

What I think goes unappreciated by some is the level of testing that normally goes into automotive grade development.

That's not to say that modern ICE cars are more reliable than a Tesla, but their electronics are usually designed for a higher level of robustness.

Here are my issues:

- Why is the car rendered useless if the infotainment system fails? This should be a non-critical component. If it is critical and the critical part can't be isolated, then the system as a whole should have been tested more extensively.

- Why does the infotainment system fail if a log message write fails, and why was this failure mode not tested? It is very common knowledge that flash wears out, and log messages aren't critical.

- Why were they not using automotive grade flash?

This, coupled with the recent story about the non-automotive-grade displays failing really demonstrates that maybe, just maybe, the rest of the automotive industry isn't totally clueless. Maybe they're just more scared of a failure.

Who knows - it's probably a mixture of both.
It's a lot weirder than you're making it out to be:

> "Officers visited the remote farmhouse and carried out a search. They discovered a hidden staircase behind a cupboard in the living room that led down to a basement room where the family were housed."

My parents have a fully furnished basement. That's not weird. Even having a bedroom in a basement is slightly weird but not terribly so. But when you throw in the context of the hidden staircase it all becomes much much weirder.
I read 200 books a year (some years) due to reading lightning fast and not driving, but reading books using my algorithm of picking the most appealing at the library is not really more edifying than social media. Like I sometimes pick up graphic novels, weird poetry, handbooks with pictures of mushrooms or whatever.

At this point I'm wondering if this idea that reading books is always more valuable than any other entertainment activity is a kind of cultural brainwashing we're going through to make sure our kids stay literate.
I wonder, do the DDG people use the `!g` things as a way to further-refine their search algorithm?

For example, if someone does the !g thing, after searching for the same thing without !g, that implies the DDG search didn't give them what they wanted. Conceivably then DDG could run that search themselves and use that for training their algorithm a bit more, mooching off of Google's results.

There's probably some kind of horrible implication there that I'm not thinking of.

Each situation is different and depends on an infinity of parameters (for exemple do not forget that a married couple pays more taxes than two individuals).

Income city+state+federal (30%), VAT (7,6%), AHV (11%) + all the rest I have lost count of.

For exemple, I pay 2,7% for PCI (Family allowance tax).

I have a very good revenue by Swiss standard. Everything from work, nothing from capital gain.

- I work in Romandie where personal tax a waaaay higher than in Swiss Germany and I am not in the best city...

- I do not count 2nd pilier as it is a "capitalisation" system and not "redistribution" (AHV). But are also mandatory insurances. Also, the revenue you will get at retirement is shrinking (due to life expectancy and negative rates) and is forecasted to even decrease in the future.

- Do not forget that Federal tax is not linear...

PS: Fun fact. Almost all successful French tennis players have lived in Switzerland a few years because they could negociate their taxes. Roger Federer or Wawrinka who have done a lot for a positive image of Switzerland had to pay full rate...

PS2: Company tax system is under total renovation now (because of pressure from Europe). I can imaging that personal tax will follow in the coming decades.

I always had the impression Google is pretty good at guessing what you want even if you try your best to enter crappy search terms, whereas you have to tell DDG more 'exactly' what you want, pre-Google era-style. But if you do the results are usually spot on. But I've been on DDG for years so I'm not sure if this distinction is still there.

Debts owed to the government don't usually expire, whether via statue of limitations or otherwise. This is fairly universal.

They view it just the same as if you owe taxes from 20 years ago.
Yep. Because the tooling is stronger. The developer ergonomics are better. The performance is better, meaning you'll be able to do more with fewer servers. MSSQL has a boatload of useful features that PostgreSQL lacks. (Clustered indexes and table-valued parameters are the ones I like to fixate on.) And so on. I can only personally speak to the developer story, but my experience has been that the productivity difference is huge. There's a night and day difference in the information you can get out of an EXPLAIN on each of them, for example, and I would get detailed emails warning me if a MSSQL query plan unexpectedly changed in production. With PostgreSQL you're more likely to need to build your own tooling for that sort of stuff, or just wait for a user to complain. On the DBA side, I'm hazier on the details, but I've seen PostgreSQL DBA's sinking hours' or sometimes even days' worth of effort into grinding through tasks tasks that an MSSQL DBA can bang out by spending a couple minutes clicking through a wizard dialog.

If you're a tiny startup, the differences won't amount to all that much, and it will be hard to justify MSSQL's price tag, which is fine, because, yeah, you can't afford it, anyway. If you're an enterprise or otherwise have large database needs, the differences can very quickly become apparent, and easily worth the money.

I can’t help but notice the similarity between the “MBA is useless because it doesn’t teach you everything you need to know about how to run a business” viewpoint and the (also popular here) “CS degree is useless because it doesn’t teach you everything you need to know about programming” viewpoint. If somebody spent a few years reading about and attending lectures about a topic, they necessarily know at least a few things they wouldn’t have otherwise known.

Seems like you're both disagreeing that religion has an influence on modern American government, and arguing that religion isn't exclusive to the right-wing of American politics.

I don't think anyone was suggesting that religion only influences the right-wing, but rather that dispensationalism and dominionism have a greater influence on politics than you're accounting for, and that those movements have a much greater influence on the right-wing than you're accounting for.
