> bay area by moving to a lower cost of living area where mid-level employees can afford to buy an actual house relatively close to work?

Stripe is not hiring "mid-level" employees. Or at the very least that is not the type of people they are compensating to run critical roles.

Good luck telling a Senior Staff Engineer who makes $500k (plus probably a couple of million in RSUs) that they have to move to Albuquerque, NM.

The other reality is that people take jobs knowing that there are other jobs available if they themselves decide to "fuck right off".

TL;DR - Network effects exists in the physical world. Too many talented people live in the bay area for "quality of life".
> This isn't a racial issue - the decline of Middle America is not the decline of white America. There is no reason to focus on race per se, much less one race in exclusion to others.

Really? Because as someone from Middle America, lack of diversity is consistently brought up in conversations about about this area in every other context. Why is the Midwest dying? Why is the Midwest an "undesirable" place to live? Why is the Midwest conservative? Why does the Midwest support Trump? Lack of racial and cultural diversity is brought up in every single one of these conversations without fail.

So it seems appropriate that, in the context of the decline of Middle America, and in in the context of exacerbated declines in health outcomes particularly for white people, we at least consider the racial aspects as well.

It still gives you an opportunity to take that income you don't actually own and make some interest on it until it's due.

You might get some accidental adblocking on some news sites through tracking protection, but with reader mode I probably wouldn't really notice.

I mostly use ublock origin to block ads in search, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or Reddit. AFAIK none of those are blocked by the current Firefox tracking protection.
I have been using f.lux for a decade, since the first version, and it has been a huge benefit to me. So far all native OS implementations simply don't compare. f.lux is doing more than just filtering blue light from the color buffer. They may take donations, but when the project started it was a far cry from the company that exists today and it began with research, as opposed to cherry-picking research after the fact as OP is sort of insinuating.

f.lux and Twilight for Android (inferior but best in class) massively contributed to the reduction of my late night migraines and insomnia.

Try an experiment: code for a few hours late at night with f.lux set to match the white temperature in your room. You can do this by holding up a piece of printing paper next to your screen and matching the color.

After a few hours, change f.lux to the default temperature. Take it as bright as it goes. Then put it back at a temperature which feels comfortable and natural to you. If this is the default color temperature, let me know.

> 3 - Why do I, as a UK resident, have to provide money so that someone in Vietnam can access our state news?

Up until a few years ago you didn't.

In the news + current affairs genre there was

1) UK output (Huw Edwards, News24, Panorama, etc) -- licence fee funded

2) World service (mainly radio, in a variety of languages) -- funded direct from the foreign office

3) World News TV (English language TV station) -- commercially funded

However the government of the time told the BBC they had to continue to fund World Service, but stopped the grant in aid. This meant that Doris in Dudley had to pay for Radio Hausa broadcasting from Abuja. Hausa is good for the UK (soft power), but it should be funded by the foreign office.

To add confusion, a couple of years ago the government then decided to invest £300m over 4 years to expand the world service reach - this money came from the foreign office.

Then there's more confusion. Many reporters for world service are expected to file into UK news too. If there's a news story in Vietnam that breaks, it will be nominally world service reporters who are on the scene reporting. Even if it's a planned event, like the Trump/Kim summit, local WS staff will be planning and often staffing that event, even if Huw Edwards is flown out to cover it, so there is still a tangential benefit

In my experience, the limiting factor is speed. Tor is not exactly the fastest protocol in the world, and while streaming video over Tor has gotten better over time, it's still not what I'd call ideal.

I'm used to it myself, but I work in architectural lighting and I can't count how many times I've had to explain that "warm white" is the low temperatures and "cool white" is the high temperatures. It's a frequent nuisance for me, but not a huge deal and we're stuck with it.

If we were going to make people put in some effort and redefine fix stupid quirks that exist out of historical convention, I'd put that effort toward adopting metric instead of switching words for shades of white :P

It's not like switching cool and hot would make sense either, 2700K (orangeish) is 4400°F and 5000K (blueish) is 8540°F. Neither of those is anything near a "cool" temperature. "Blazing white" and "inferno white"?
The CDC report[1] has data that spans the years 2006-2016, eleven years not three. However, all racial groups have greater life expectancy now that they did in 2006.

I was specifically addressing the comment's statement that "The decline in U.S. life expectancy has disproportionately affected whites". The CDC report seems to disagree.

Specifically looking at declines: the highest white life expectancy is in 2012 and the highest black life expectancy occurred in 2014:

2012 white 78.9 years

2014 black 75.3 years

2016 white 78.5 (-0.4, a 0.51% decline)

2016 black 74.8 (-0.5, a 0.67% decline)

Black life expectancy appears to have declined more (an even bigger concern to me is the absolute disparity between white and black life expectancy).

I think better than a book is just being curious about the world around you. Why does only my front car window have frost on it? Why does my granola bar wrapper emit light when I open it under my covers? You are guarenteed to learn relevant things that change your worldview instead of relying on whatever you are told to be curious about. Think for yourself, but you should also be curious for yourself.
This book provides an introduction to the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of data science, including machine learning, high-dimensional geometry, and analysis of large networks. Topics include the counterintuitive nature of data in high dimensions, important linear algebraic techniques such as singular value decomposition, the theory of random walks and Markov chains, the fundamentals of and important algorithms for machine learning, algorithms and analysis for clustering, probabilistic models for large networks, representation learning including topic modelling and non-negative matrix factorization, wavelets and compressed sensing. Important probabilistic techniques are developed including the law of large numbers, tail inequalities, analysis of random projections, generalization guarantees in machine learning, and moment methods for analysis of phase transitions in large random graphs. Additionally, important structural and complexity measures are discussed such as matrix norms and VC-dimension. This book is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses in the design and analysis of algorithms for data.

As far as this type of tool goes Grafana is pretty solid. It might be easy to conflate it with the datasource it is pulling from.
It’s not just the very wealthy. The middle class in America also enjoy a much nicer standard of living than in Europe. Have a gander at the cost of living indices and there are very few categories where the US doesn’t fare better (and often dramatically better). Not to mention the takehome pay (post-pension, post-healthcare) are quite often 30-40% larger for working professionals. I think we still need a stronger social safety net, but Europe is not so dramatically better than the US as this thread makes it out to be.

Adware will continue to be able to legally circumvent extension signing when it has root access and consent by the user. This only makes it prohibitive for users to customize their own browsers.

It's also possible to make this setting configurable only from the browser UI, where you get a chance to educate and properly warn your users.

They also want to restrict the config option on Linux, where the adware problem you describe is not really present.
Google Lighthouse do use the standards that we have to follow as a baseline though, which makes the suggestions bear weight.

More concretely, WCAG 2.0 [1] requires a contrast for 4.5:1 for text, and hacker news with it's #F6F6EF background and #828282 has a contrast of 3.54:1, quite far below the WCAG treshold.

This would result in a fine for situations where you are bound by law to follow the WCAG standard.

I agree, but I don't really use Tridactyl to replace the mouse - I use it for operations that would otherwise not be easy or possible (e.g. `b` and `B` to search through the titles of open tabs) or a favourite of mine, cloning a repository from Git{Hub,Lab} and opening a terminal in that folder.

Some of this lack of concern for using the cursor is probably because all of the keyboards I use have trackpoints.

As of a year or two ago when I worked at a authorized att dealer, manager logins can access any account without a pin and any employee can access prepaid accounts without a pin.

Edit:for whatever its worth att does keep a record of what employees accessed an account and when, and notes when managers bypass the pin, so doing this an an employee seems really stupid to me.

Stupidity and validity being decided by whom? If you believe someone's opinion is stupid, you may not consider it valid, but that changes nothing about the actual opinion. Remember, Newton had a series of "stupid, invalid" opinions about physics and astronomy, and now look at us.
As long as we are speculating, I wonder if sleep deprivation is another. I have no data, but my hunch is that the rise of smartphones, never ending feeds of infotainment on the internet, on-demand streaming services, and the decline of the "9-5" work culture in favor of the gig-economy and startup "hustle porn" mean people aren't getting nearly as much sleep as they used to, which leads to all kinds of disastrous health outcomes.
I tried it 2 years ago. It was easy to get started, but not quite straightforward to extend it and use custom panels.

Also, it didn't support image uploads, you'd need to host them somewhere else if you wanted them to show up in a panel. rather inconvenient.

I don't regard them as serious news service now. On the normal national news slots they present a dumbed-down precis of what the Government would like you to hear. For serious new coverage we watch Channel 4 News which isn't afraid to cover controversial and government-critical topics.
That is a iPhone X like device, which only has Face ID or a PIN.

A PIN is more secure than a fingerprint and Face ID. But at least use a combination of either one with a PIN to make it more secure.

Since the device was already on and it directly showed the PIN screen, Face ID is disabled and instead he chooses to only use a very very weak PIN.

Oh dear.
I don't think that's really relevant to the question of "how much" $1900 is, really.

I'd say most people "choose not to" save $1k than "cannot". I saved up a reasonable amount of money on $14/hr in Boston after graduation by living with roommates, not having a car, living frugally, etc. And conversely, I know plenty of people (developers even, who make lots of money!) who don't have that much saved.
Thank you for sharing those kind words! I wonder from time to time if anybody found that interview valuable. :)

I remember when Stripe emailed me as a job candidate. At the time, I was sitting in the bar directly behind their office, and basically replied that they (one of the Collison brothers) could come right now and have a beer with me. (I was sitting in the Rose and Crown, and they were in the office behind the Wine Room on the same block.) *

> why wouldn't established companies like Stripe just ... off to another city entirely?

Because the employees they want to hire live and work in Silicon Valley. There's a lot of advantages to the area: Good weather, good cultural actives, good jobs...

Keep in mind that companies loose people when they move within the same geographic area. (For example, someone commuting over the Golden Gate bridge might decide to leave because now the commute is much longer.)

* By the time I screened with them, I had a job offer in hand that I really wanted. (This was long before Stripe became successful.) I lived a few blocks away, so I asked to screen in person, and then decided to take the job with the other company. I don't even know if they would have hired me!

So many reasons:

- That effectively means those employees tied to the old location have to quit or be let go. Stripe isn't a public company, so that causes major issues for those with options who suddenly need to exercise into an expensive illiquid holding. For those w/o vested options in a company as successful as Stripe, you're leaving a lot of money on the table. What are the odds you find another Stripe with options deep in the money?

- If your spouse is working in SF, if you move, now they have to quit their job and look for another one. If your spouse works in a non-public tech startup, see point 1.

- Moving isn't easy in the US if you own a home - the taxes, fees, expenses, commissions, etc alone will cost you ~8 or 9% of your sale. If you have 20% down you just lost half your equity. Easier of course if you have more equity in the home, but still -- fees/etc are a total loss to you.

- If the company re-locates you, they might cover some of the home change expenses, but those are often capped. It becomes quite expensive to the company to re-lo folks with homes (see above)

- Changing homes (and thus school districts) is a big issue for employees with children. Many school districts are not guaranteed by home ownership / lease, but rather by tenure in the district. You end up buying/leasing an expensive property in a new area and busing your child to a far off, possibly much less performant, school.

- I totally agree with SF being epensive, but for other cities, moving to suburbs isn't that much less expensive for young workers. Now you suddenly have to buy a car, pay for gas, pay tolls, registrations, etc. Also, for those early career w/o children, being in a one-company-town suburb is a career-killer. There isnt an ecosystem and it becomes harder to switch jobs. I had an employer move their office from Manhattan to suburban Connecticut with the argument that is was less expensive (yes, less expensive for the company -- but absolutely not less expensive for the employee)

As a newish dad this is relatable but not as much as for my wife. There is so much pressure and she is constantly telling me she feels like a bad mom.
