The safety number is essentially equivalent to a self-signed certificate. You can use it to consistently identify a key holder, but it doesn’t offer you any way to identify who that key holder is. If you want to trust a self-signed cert, then figuring up whether you should or not is entirely up to you. This is the problem that CAs address with CA signed X.509 certificates.

If you want to validate identity as a service, then the only options you really have available are a central authority, or a web of trust. Both of which have serious downsides, and neither of which are offered by Signal.

Yes, but not the way you're thinking. :)
Why do men choose to and why are they allowed to do all those things differently? The reason is gender roles, that’s part of the equal pay discussion. Probably the biggest part, in fact.

The “multi-variable” is no answer at all. Each of those variables is part of the discussion.

Seems like everybody has a comical view of the pay gap: a big fat cigar chomping man conspiring with his cronies to set low wages for women. It’s far more broad than that, so please get serious about those variables before trying to blow the whole thing off.

Starting point: how do we better make care work less gendered and pay appropriately?
I have no opinions about DHH in general, but he's just wrong here. He tweets:

> Hilarious how much mansplaining is flowing in this thread. Every single poster questioning my wife’s credit score, a man. Every single defense of Apple blaming GS, a man. Almost like men are over represented in the defense/justification of discrimination that doesn’t affect them?

which immediately costs him all credibility in this specific case. Factually, it is GS making the decision. It's Apple's problem to address because they're contracting to GS, but it was GS's algorithms (oh no, he calls that out too!) that rendered the credit decision. And he glosses over that credit score pretty issue quickly, which is kind of sexist and bullshitty in itself. Without saying whether her score is decent, he says she should get the same credit he does because she's married to him, as though her creditworthiness derives from their relationship. What the...? Does the have income of her own? A credit history of her own? If DHH isn't co-signing, his existence even involved in the decision.

There are plenty of things to protest in the credit score game. You can fairly criticize it in many, many ways. But I saw nothing in his complaint that was unique to Apple or GS, and DHH's complaint seems to come down a non sequitur complaint against Apple and GS for their use of industry-standard credit ratings.

Edit: he does say her credit score was higher than his. My bad. He still doesn't mention their relative income.
I recommend setting a regular schedule for yourself (such as 10am - 11am on Tuesdays and Thursdays) where you just sit down and do paperwork for the business, and if there is no paperwork to do then organize receipts.

It's not uncommon in the Audio production world to rack your machine in another room and use Fiber between the two to control it. If I upgrade the iMac Pro in my studio, i'd probably still grab the rack mount model as well and keep it in the studio. Assuming the noise profiles advertised are accurate.
It could even be the driving cause behind the cycle of homelessness, mental and physical health problems and addiction are often the result of or severely aggravated by living in such deprivation. It's nearly impossible to get a job without a fixed address and proper facilities for daily hygiene. I'd imagine that a communal living environment would also have pro-social effects since there is an expectation to keep yourself and your space clean and meals would take place in a shared eating area.

As others have pointed out, rooming houses weren't only for the dispossessed. They were a low rung on the ladder for young people trying to make a start, for people between jobs or starting over in a new city, for the vulnerable escaping bad marriages, for new immigrants and the elderly without support systems. It's interesting that this list closely mirrors the precarious stages and situations in life that can often lead to homelessness.
If a 20 year old succeeds. They got lucky. There are no special skills needed.

Even if they are serial entrepreneurs. Once you have the right social network, it doesn't really matter what you do, you will succeed.

Heck, the artist who painted their wall made hundreds of millions.
IANAL, but I think the US presidency is the only job that requires one to be a natural born US citizen. For any other job, you may need to be a citizen (e.g., to hold a clearance), but basing eligibility on the country of birth is likely illegal.
The iMac Pro clearly fits the needs of 99.9% of people who need some horsepower in their work - video editing, pro photographers and coders who want a ton of VMs or whatever.

I'd be interested to hear of a workload that is unsuitable for the iMac Pro that is suitable for the new Mac Pro, but for which you think a $5k machine should be capable of doing. Then let me know what $5k machine exists on the market you can buy that can do that workload.

No way! The training after high school for day care professionals in my country takes 4 years and is much better paid than minimum wage.

There are Nordic countries where a minimum of one day of day care a week is actually government mandated because it's been proven to be good for the kids.

A lot of times the yard is rented as part of the ground-flour unit ($$$) so only ~1/4th of the people in the building have access.
Not true. We build our own desktop machines for computational work, lately using the 32-core Threadripper 2990wx and 64 GB ECC RAM, a couple 1TB M.2 SSDs and liquid cooling. Even increasing the amount of RAM to 1 TB, the total BOM for that comes to below $9k, and the performance is about the same as the $50k computers listed here.

It takes you at most two days to fully assemble this machine. The breakeven then becomes an hourly rate of $2.5k.
Same thing anyone uses a Xeon based workstation for; video editing, rendering, simulations, audio work, etc.

Honestly $50k for the high end model means this will be a middle-of-the-road priced piece of equipment in a lot of studios in the world of £20k microphones and speakers.

For example Calvin Harris has at least one of these new Mac Pros (spec unknown but most likely the highest) in his studio and he has _speakers_ worth more than it.
What is it that you think the Constitution says about getting warrants?

It's not my understanding that the Constitution was designed to make it difficult to investigate crimes. As I understand it, the US largely inherits the common law principle that the public is entitled to every person's evidence. The backstory I understand behind the Fourth Amendment is that the British used "general warrants" as a tool of harassment – where a general warrant was essentially a slip of paper that deputized a group of soldiers to toss houses and confiscate goods on a whim. The intent wasn't to make warrants hard to get, or to gate all conceivable searches on warrants, but rather to make sure that what warrants were issued were at least particularized with a real, defensible purpose.

Another observation that bolsters my particular understanding is the variety of conditions in which the Supreme Court, going all the way back into the era of the founders, authorized warrantless searches. The border search exception, for instance, dates back to the founders.

My feelings about law enforcement and encryption are complicated but hew mostly to the HN party line. However, I feel sometimes like I arrive at my conclusions in a very different way than people who invoke the Constitution here.

California is different than many states in the USA. In many places a non-compete agreement can stop you from going to a competing company. That doesn't just affect entrepreneurs, it affects all employees. The end result is employees can't change jobs as easily and wages are depressed. Non-solicitation agreements have a similar effect.

I don't think I'll ever root for companies enforcing non-compete or non-solicitation agreements. But, if Apple can prove that this guy was working/soliciting for his new company on Apple's time or while using Apple equipment then they may have a case, but it should be a limited case.

* You have 18 services all using one database? Be aware that this pattern has the drawback that all of them are tightly coupled through the centralised database, and you might have a distributed monolith at hand. A typical symptom is that you have to release all services in lockstep.
Consider your resources and and see if actually having a monolith, or at least consolidating some services, possibly could lead to a better development experience.

Only remove columns that no other service is using once the code paths have been migrated from using the deprecated code paths, or use Feature Flags, like someone else mentioned.

Zero-lot-line homes do not share a wall. Each building is constructed such that a wall can abut the property line. Duplexes do share a wall. The two types of building are distinct.

Rowhouses/townhomes would be homes with two opposed zero-lot-line walls, exactly the width of the property, all in a row. If a whole-block-width building had partitioning walls at roughly the same interval, that could instead be a rowhouse-like condominium.

Sharing a wall does bring in some legal issues and definitions, which do not come into play when each structure is completely independent (but abutting other structures).

The ability to build without setbacks is a major factor in urban density. The costs of maintaining a city roughly scale with the linear amount of street frontage, so not wasting that length on empty setbacks is a great way to keep city services cheaper.
ITAR law. The company can't discriminate in hiring for reasons of national origin alone, but a US citizen doesn't automatically stop being a citizen of another country, and ITAR prohibits letting foreign citizens touch some sensitive missile tech secrets.

This system is completely convoluted, with the incentives all over the place between merchant, bank, CC processor, consumer. It's the kind of thing that will never change until you go to a different country or start an alternative payment system that is 10x better, because no one has the power or will to displace the existing infrastructure.

Consumers don't care because they don't (directly) pay the bill for these benefits, and only see the kickback rewards as a positive.

Banks don't care, actually they like it, because rewards help them attract customers who don't care who pays.

Merchants can't put up too big a fight because they can't leave unless they're big enough to stomach the loss in revenue, or can make customers shift payment method (like Costco, say).

CC processors love it because regardless, they get payment traffic and commissions.

Whereas in other countries, this system would be crazy.
Or their merchant account. I think they disallow charging different prices based on the card type - there was a big blowup a few years back because retailers didn't want to pay the higher fees to accept debit cards, but had to because the debit cards had VISA or MasterCard logos and therefore had to be treated the same way as VISA or MasterCard credit cards.

Their prices will be set to absorb the average mix of rewards and non-rewards card that retailer sees. They're certainly not going to consider it a charitable donation to high credit-score folks.

It'd be much fairer if they surcharged rewards cards, or if we went the European approach and capped interchange fees at something reasonable. The current system is basically a regressive tax on people with lower credit scores.

> We live in an economic system in which we all need to pull our weight.

I love this comment, so I'm going to start here. This very sentence: "We live in an economic system in which we all need to pull our weight". By all you mean which class? Poor? Middle class? Middle-upper class? Rich? Wealthy?

Don't you see how we're tricking ourselves by believing in this false male/female dychotomy? Let's look at it from Marxist perpective:
Poor -- male and female work
Middle Class -- male and female work
Middle Upper Class -- sometimes one of the partners male OR female will work, while the other will not.
Upper Class -- both men and women don't work. They earn passive income on their investments, business onwership, real estate ownership, stocks and bonds profits.

So, while we here are arguing if women "should" work or not, the healthy attitude seems to be to do anything possible to be as high on the ladder above as possible. Because the reasons if we work or we don't work have nothing to do with what we believe or want. But they have everything to do with our social status, or as Marx would call it "class". If you are poor you and your partner work. If you are wealthy you and your partner don't work. If you're in one of the middle classes it's a combination. Talking about "women rights" in this scenario is just side-tracking and being blinded by the reality of social classes and social status.

This being said, there is bunch, really a lot of research in psychology strongly suggesting that women are attracted to males who are highly successful. Basically poor woman (low class) will be definitely attracted to a guy in higher class. Based on his class / social status alone. This is basic science of psychology backed by a lot of research. Declining simple biology for signaling reasons just looks so... desperate? (sorry, couldn't resist myself)
