Thanks :)

The first commit was Jan 2014, when it between 50-80% of my time until 2018 I think where I mostly developed it myself. After that, it is more difficult to say how much time was spend on it, and it wasn't only my time. Although I do most of the development, ideas and discussions with data scientists can be more important than just pure dev time. But it took some time :)
This doesn't seem much different from Spain, where I need to scan my passport to buy a SIM, and they already have my face on record?
You work on whatever problem you like. I simply pointed out that the US has a singular problem with school shootings. You appear to agree with that assessment.

You have no idea what would happen if Hong Kong had "2A rights".
Always roam when in China for short trips. The way cellular networks work is that roaming plans tend to route back home, so that your access is unfiltered.

The plan could affect foreigners but it was hard for years already, in that most cellular stores require a Chinese ID to register monthly service (not all take passports). I used to get the salesperson or security guard to lend their ID in my stead, and this is exactly what this policy seems designed to prevent. Hotels and train stations have operated under facial authentication for a couple of years too for Chinese nationals. This seems to be along the same vein, to ensure the person is who the ID says they are. In other words, it's handing over the ID-checking from a person to an awkward police-sanctioned box.

I consult for Bay Area startups. The perception of risk with a remote worker is still there. I battle that.

Offer up an initial short term contract to mitigate risk. Make it a liberal termination clause for both parties - if either is unhappy you just walk away.

It'll put your client/employer's mind at ease.

And it allows you to demonstrate your value without having to discount upfront.

Wow,about time they started taking down those sites. No only if other places would as well.
> While from the earliest days some forms of speech have been assumed to be subject to potential restrictions (i.e. the risk of immediate danger by shouting “fire in a crowded movie house”) the remaining expression of political ideas went unregulated, no matter how hateful. This led to “expressions” such as burning crosses, flags, or effigies, often accompanied by hateful written materials. All in all, it was a lot of work to express a lot of hate. Still the Supreme Court upheld the right to do so, so long as the speech did not violate other laws such as fire codes, arson, or safety regulations.

Utterly false. The "fire in a crowded theater" quote comes from a (later overturned) Supreme Court decision that banned opposing the draft. I guess the authors point would be somewhat diminished if he had to include anti-war protests as things that tend to be banned when speech gets moderated, not just the catch-all 'hate'.
As a big proponent of F# it annoys me how much one still needs to fight "but M$" arguments if I point out a thing that F# does well. The same thing seems to happen when discussing Haskell with people who know just enough to recognise the influence MSR employees have on it.

It almost makes me wonder how they/we can work around that sentiment now. Either hope for generational shift to eventually kill it, or perhaps have them make a point of landing projects outside of MS and hoping nobody notices(GitHub R++ or whatever).

Tips on how others approach these discussions with Microsoft haters greatly appreciated!
On a freestanding environment, the signature of main doesn't have to be the standard "int main(int argc, char argv)". Oh, and on Linux the the arguments to main are put on the stack, which you can see is handled by _start: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/x86...
Two solutions:

A) Clerk warehouse model:

Stores can allow shoppers to browse through aisles of display items, sample items, boxes, or whatever else causes them to feel like a consumer, take tickets for what they want, then bring them to a counter.

After payment is received, someone else comes out from a secured, monitored area with all your items in a cart.

It wouldn't be too difficult to develop a system to allow people to visually browse for and select meat and produce items.

B) Strict club model:

Store is not open to the general public, but club members only.

You can't be club member if you are under 18 or don't have a provable source of income. If you violate the club's code of conduct, your access is revoked.

Entry is strictly controlled. You can't enter the facility without proof of membership. All purchases verified upon exit.
Wouldn't be hard to hook them all up to the government's backend, if it one day became mandated. For safety.
Not to be dramatic, but it would be nice if this domain/"enterprise" were not allowed here based on the reporting from Vox[0].

I'm from belgium and I'm considered as having complementary insurance beside regular free insurance. The complementary insurance is part of the same package as regular insurance and is not even optional. I pay 40€ every 3 month. According to the study you posted, I have a complementary insurance. It has to be taken with a grain of salt...
AFAIK developers have not formed a cabal that is trying to manipulate local real estate pricing.

Developers will build as long as it seems profitable to do so. Presumably this means that when the prices do go down, a few projects will end up in the red when they're done.

I looked at dozens of corn cob light bulbs on eBay and AliExpress and found none with a CRI of 90 Ra or better.
In Germany you can buy cheap 13W E27 LED light bulbs at Aldi every January with 95+Ra.
Not that there's any moral equivalence, but when I'm in Australia visiting in-laws, I have to provide my passport or similar ID to get my PAYG SIM activated. I just have them swipe it at the airport and my SIM is on in 10 minutes. My wife admits it's a lot easier in the States to get a PAYG SIM; AT&T doesn't care who she is as long as there's money in the account.

I'm not sure why Australia does that, but it's really annoying.

I'm with you 100%. One thing that people don't realize is that nuclear technology is the only fuel technology that has nuclear regulations. If coal has a little radioactivity in it, there's no limit to what radiation can be exposed to the atmosphere in burning it. I believe the same applies to oil, gasoline, and diesel.

”I've read all of the founders' blog posts now and I'm convinced they've packed every anti-pattern they could find into this startup .... they [list their values] ... yet there’s essentially nothing about what the product is.”

Imagine you and your friends excitedly announcing on your personal homepages that you are setting out to build your passion project into a going concern “not driven by power or greed, but by accomplishment and self-fulfillment” [1] and being flooded in a community of supposed hackers with derision that your post wasn’t a good enough press release.

For some people, the actual human excitement of friends earnestly getting together to build something new primarily because they want to see it in the world is so foreign that they can only snark about it.

Hopefully that kind of response vindicates their values more than it demoralizes.

Vetspire | Full Stack Software Engineer | Austin, TX | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to help bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' and veterinary staff needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. To do this, you’ll be working at every stage of patient care from the exam room to back-end analytics. Some examples of what your weeks may look like: creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time, designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders, or building a secure messaging platform for client and doctor communications.

You'll be working directly with our clients (the veterinarians and staff) using Vetspire, and talking with them almost every day to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. As such, this is more than just an engineering role, as, although you can code and develop remotely, you'll be expected to go into the hospitals every now and then to talk with the users directly, understand their needs, design solutions with them, and iterate on the results.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our front end is a React SPA using the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject).
Corbalt | Software Engineer | Remote | Full Time or Contract | https://jobs.lever.co/corbalt/

Corbalt is a small startup working to build better software infrastructure for government.

Corbalt was born out of the problematic launch of healthcare.gov. We were part of the tech team that came in to help fix healthcare.gov and were inspired by how much everyone cared and worked hard to fix the site (from tech team members, to government contractors, and government employees), and how much progress we all made in a short time.

We're a small team with experience at Google, Palantir, Bell Labs, and Silicon Valley startups. We work remotely (currently USA only) by default and are spread across New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and California.

We build software in Go and Python (but it's not important that you already know these languages).

Among other things, we value kindness and growth-oriented mindsets on our teams.

Tokyo is an 845 mi² megacity. Is population growth of 100k/yr something a city should aspire to? At a certain point I feel like some kind of family planning makes sense at larger levels of society just like it does with the family unit.

Much like a conflict of interest, appearance of mistrust is akin to mistrust. You are associating with groups that have demonstrated minimal trust and ethics and allowed abuse of their platform. Worse than that, you are passing you business, product, and any existing or future data to a mistrusted group. I won't be part of that transition.

You intentionally placed your product in the hands of this group knocking your own reputation down several pegs below competitors if not out of the picture entirely. Lip service won't win me back.
Traveling to Germany I had to provide my passport to get a SIM card. When I was going through customs stateside I had a photo taken with my passport. Not sure if this is the new standard but other countries are implementing the same laws/procedures and while I disagree with china we shouldn't hold them to a different standard than other nations.
There's no reason your side-project needs to do anything that hasn't been done before; not every new business needs to be a unicorn.

In fact, if you consider that someone else aims to "solve" these media access problems as a thing you can learn from and tweak (perhaps adding some value, or shortening the delivery chain for someone else), then perhaps you can be freed up from having to feel like you have to do everything yourself.

One of the hardest things to learn to do well is to create and run a business, and in my experience it takes more hard work than good ideas to be successful.

> Maybe because I don’t believe that people can randomly make up definitions instead of citing precedent?

While you're trying to frame my argument as "make up definitions", the reality is not; this is a standard practice since 1982. Spend your time on searching and studying the topic, not mine. This is an area of vast complexities and I don't think it's effective to spend my time to enlighten you.

> where was the government intervention? Where were the consent decrees? Lawsuits?

Your ignorant in the topic doesn't necessarily mean an actual lack of a prior. In Nintendo v. Atari case, there was not much arguments on the market definition, but its practice was illegal or not. Yes, I've been talking only about the market definition and you're intentionally conflating the concept of the relevant market definition and antitrust violation. Don't do that. And please don't even try to say "come up with evidence". You can spend your time on studying this.

Yes, 'we' are very objectively very different. The motivations, objectives and operational realities of DL's and Passports are all fundamentally different. Even the DMV's sale of data, however unseemly, is in a different category of 'questionable'.

That wasn't a simple question. It was a sarcastic lashing-out. You've omitted your own punch line ("Thanks for clearing that up") in order to make it sound more neutral than it was.

The difference is that the GP was not primarily bilious and was making a point about something else, even if it crossed into personal territory slightly. Your comment was only about how pissed off you were about that. When threads get to this nasty meta place ("so your foo is nothing less than a bar while my baz is simply a bing. thanks for clearing that up"), conversation is dead. Letting downvotes and flags trigger you into adding indignant edits is another tell-tale sign.

I know that it smarts to get burned by another comment and yes, the GP should have been more thoughtful, but users here need to work on metabolizing such feelings rather than just pumping them back into the thread. Otherwise we just end up with nastiness. Anyone who wants to work on themselves in that way is welcome here, but if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

That’s what scares me. As far as I know Japan is pretty good at running infrastructure. If even they can’t get it right what will happen if we push nuclear as solution to climate change and less well run countries get a lot of nuclear plants? It’s pretty much guaranteed that some will blow up.
