Why buy a new mid-sized jet? I was responding to the comment that a $100m net worth can't afford a private jet, which is just not true. There are a LOT of options between commercial and a -new- mid-size jet. Buy used or get a brand new HondaJet for less than $5m. Can be flown by a single pilot and can fly anywhere in the continental U.S. with no more than a single re-fuel stop.

Or, fly anywhere in one swoop with a less than 10 year old Citation CJ4 or similar that will run you less than $6m and seat 10 passengers. And the annual operating costs will not get you anywhere close to $1m. Even a G650 isn't going to run you much more than $1.5m annually unless you are putting a ton of hours on it.

But I will also say that 10-20% of your net worth (wouldn't be up-front, it would be financed.) is not that big of a deal when you have a huge net worth. It's a lot when you make just enough to survive. It's not a problem when you still have enough left over for several lifetimes of comfortable living. Just depends on your priorities.
Ah this comment sums up perfectly.

Hey Drew: I have a suggestion for sway/mobile. How about a simple windowmanager that shows a webview on screen and that exports a simple js api for window operations like { min,max,restore,setxy } so that frontend guys could make their own window managers. I think we'd see so much innovation on both desktop & mobile.
For that, you need certification, not gatekeeping.

Publish a set of tests a device must pass, broadly, to be certified compliant.

Allow manufacturers test their devices, for a fee, and win a certificate, or know where they failed. Much like you can take a language exam (say, TOEFL).

You don’t need complex market forces. It is fairly common for people to disallow other people from doing things:

* for their own good

* for perceived externalities

This is common enough for drugs, heavy metal, child employment, and contracting that it doesn’t surprise me they would apply it to prostitution. In fact, I think the probability of women wanting to corner the market for sex is low.

I picked up the MBP 16" and I've been pretty happy with it. No issues, coming from the 2013 rMBP. I held off on buying a new laptop for awhile due to all the keyboard issues, glad they've gone back to the old design. I do wish some of the hardware was self upgradable though, but I doubt Apple is ever going to move away from having all the components soldered on.

Not sure about Catalina, I've read a lot of people having issues with it, but personally none of them have affected me. I don't use any 32-bit apps and the security prompts can be a bit annoying but not disruptive to my workflow since it's mostly just a one time thing for each app.
Today's changing markets demand employee's who can adapt quickly.

Or static old companies seem to want employees who don't notice change around them.
Currently working on a Testing framework use Sikuli which takes this is a step up and tests interaction. Can be used on any apps - not just websites. Sikuli uses opencv to handle interactions. It's hard to test things like drag drop, html canvas and resizing. let me know if anyone is interested. Will be open source and produces visual test outputs.
$1m maintenance is on the high end. Only a bigger jet would cost that much.

I agree that chartering is usually a better way to go. But private jet life is comfortably affordable at a $100m net worth. Maybe not private-jet-life, and mega-yacht-life, and rare-original-art life all at the same time. But you could definitely choose one or the other.
Maybe you just can't figure a person out in an interview. I got my current job as a contractor/temp, and thinking back to a previous company, one of the people that was the best and stayed the longest was a contractor that "graduated" to permanent. The simplest way to prevent people from keeping up a facade is just time.
>I really hope they recognize the need that people want to keep their data on their lan. Actually that would be required by the GDPR if they won't let me sign anything. My derived data is my own people, it does not belong to who ever collects it.

GDPR is a joke and easily bypassed because users are overwhemingly dumb and agree to anything without reading.
By making it online service dependent they don't have to care, the experience will be horribly degraded without signing in.
What poor hiring practices does Google have?
The recommendations are content based. Basically, if you have a preference for certain item or feature, it will get better score.

Compared to collaborative approach: content based scoring works better for learning routine, e.g. the weekly grocery shopping routine. It also works better in situations, where there isn't lot of samples about the recommended content, but there is lots of metadata about options. E.g. the sales situation is such: you likely haven't sold before to this customer company, but you may have lot of information about it

" It's a point of great controversy among contemporary Buddhists:"

among contemporary western Buddhists, maybe, who have a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept, (which is understandable, since Christianity - at least the mainstream versions - which was the dominant European religion for centuries has no corresponding concept).

In Buddhism as practised in Asia (Thailand, Burma,Srilanka, India, Nepal, China, Japan etc) it is not controversial at all, and is quite mainstream, with next to no "controversy" around it.
There is enormous variation in the quality of different indexes (indices?) The whole concept of an index, at least since computers have been around, should be that it's better than a full text search, but that's not something you can automatically generate.

I find JIRA light weight. The trick is not to follow too many processes. Drag on tickets to your board when you start them and move then through the swim lanes. The worst cases are when people set up too much security and complex transition rules so that people are blocked by JIRA.

JIRA ain't perfect though. The constant UX changes drive me nuts. At least HN still works the same way as 10 years ago, but JIRA keeps changing like a shapeshifter.

> The death of the Buddha’s mother, Māyā, when giving birth to him serves no purpose as myth, and can therefore be accepted as fact

That seems dubious. One potential purpose is convenience--one less person in the picture. Another is a deliberate excise of a female character, reflecting either a fear or simple apathy toward the feminine. The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Christianity is an example of what can happen if you leave the door open for a potentially powerful feminine character.
I think you've misunderstood the nature of article.

The article is about the historical Buddha i.e. the person whom people believe existed, as a human.

It's not about 'understanding Buddhism'.

There is nothing 'Western' about objective historical investigation, and neither is the term 'myth' highly overloaded; if people believe strongly in a narrative that is not based in reality, we call that 'myth' and it's a fair term.
I think this guys got it wrong. Apple's last half-dozen years of design interation are (IMO) the fault of Jony Ive, And his relentless dedication to how the product looks rather than how useful it is.

Apple likes making a particular kind of computer for a particular kind of user (the iPad) and the Mac has really suffered under the ethos of "The computer for the rest of us" taken to the extreme.
I think the most unmentioned facet regarding prostitution is that for many men, prostitution may be the only way for them to obtain sex, which I feel is just as much of a "right" as is the right for women to obtain an abortion.

No I don't believe taxpayers should be required to pay for prostitutes, nor for abortions.

But the market for both should be decriminalized. Not only is this something that is morally right, though I'm sure feminists especially will not agree, I believe this is in society's best interest, too.

There are more and more studies showing most men did not actually propagate throughout history, and this is also true with many other mammals. The alpha obtains a harem, and the rest fight over what's left (or die trying).

I have a feeling that the institution of monogamy came about in almost all cultures simply to avoid the problems associated with large numbers of males, programmed by evolution to do one thing, unable to obtain it.

Inexpensive and shameless prostitution might be an alternative as it seems monogamy is declining, and some version of polygamy becoming more normal with few men sharing many women (if you believe the online dating app stats and lots of anecdotes online).

The "Buy > Customize > Build" logic holds for supporting software. When it comes to the core of your business, Buy is usually not an option and also doesn't give you a competitive advantage. Also the effort of Customize can often be greater than the Build path in short order. I've experienced this with one startup that thought that it made sense to customize a Drupal CMS for a bespoke experience with hybrid human/ML curation.
It isn't a particularly hard-core position. They aren't a major force in the debate but there will be a very substantial demographic who don't care one way or the other but are in principle happy to leave well enough alone. They'd probably have a mild preference for not arresting people for no reason.

Prostitution has been legal in Australia since around the 90s. Nobody particularly cares^. The only people who it has implications for are people who choose to be involved.

^ Ie, it doesn't crop up in politics as an issue. Lots of people care. Nobody is making a big deal about it.

Krita is fantastic. There's a lot of open source painting and imaging software out there, but Krita really stands out with a cool brush engine, good performance, and a feature set very useful for digital art. I only hope Krita can receive more substantial funding in the future.

Krita definitely helped me leave some closed source apps that I used to use for hobby, without feeling like I was making a compromise (quite the opposite really.)

Of course, it's not really equivalent to Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint, for example, but I think it's competitive in some areas already.

Sun sold something calls a sunray which was basically a dumb display. Just enough compute to handle the usb devices and send the events over the network and decompress and display the resulting video stream.

Unfortunately sun tied the sunray to incredibly expensive/slow sparc servers. So while the terminals would never need upgrading, the servers where never competitive in the first place.

It's also silly to have expensive server ram filled with frame buffers and the zillion client processes that normal desktops have for weather, date, time, calendar, notifications, speaker volume, notification mirroring, etc.

A more enlightened approach would be something more like plan 9 where compute can transparently happen client side or server side.
I agree it's not a hard core libertarian position. I guess I just meant I don't think there are that many people who consult their libertarian principles to decide their views on an issue.

Honestly, I wish more companies would just tell you in advance of the interview what the specific prompt is going to be (and perhaps the evaluation criteria too).

Sure, you could "cheat" by Googling the answer in advance or asking someone for help. But if the question's sufficiently open-ended, it's not that hard to suss out in follow up questions whether you have a deep first principles understanding of the subject area or you're just repeating something you read.

>I have never heard of an increase in development bringing downward pressure on rent prices.

Can you offer up a plausible theory as to how more housing could possibly create upward pricing pressure on rent prices?

It's simple supply and demand. You can't "see" downward pricing pressure if the price of housing is still climbing nonetheless due to demand still growing faster than supply.

What do you think would happen if the number of available housing units in the bay area doubled over night? You think everyone would be able to keep raising the rent and keep their units rented at the same prices? Of course not, the empty units are going to cut prices to attract buyers/renters.

The Icarus effect here is both sad and eye-opening:

After Atari crumbled, his outsized role in the video game crisis earned him a scarlet letter in the industry. He found work as a real estate broker and spent nearly 2 decades soul searching before discovering his true passion: psychotherapy.

A man of that talent should never have had to work as a real estate broker. It's almost as if the business put him in a position he couldn't handle, and then shunned him when he couldn't handle it.

Which industry, there’s no blanket all-encompassing “industry”? There are still those who don’t live purely the web. Every place I’ve worked at has used RHEL (public university and Film/VFX/animation), and it’s for the exact reasons as written above and sibling/child comments.

Do we integrate with/use cloud and container solutions for services that align with that? Yep. But you can’t just dismiss the foundation, no matter how recursively down the chain you need to go, that it all runs on just because you don’t have to deal with it (“you” in the general sense).
IMO the biggest reason to adopt the WebAssembly format is that a segfault inside the runtime doesn't affect the host process at all.

That's a great, but a complex question that I'm not qualified to answer. I'm sure others can chime in but here's my take: SK's democracy is still in its making. Even though the country is thousands of years old, its first 'democratically' elected president only came to power in 1948. That's after my parents were born.

I said 'democratically' in quote because nearly all presidents that came into power leading up to 1993 were essentially quasi-dictator and military heads. Even into the 1980s, South Korea had a hard core labor camp in middle of Seoul that housed tens of thousands of gang, anti-government or social activists, and criminals who were sent there without due process. No reliable death count exists, but it's estimated to be 500+ if you count people that suffered premature death after release.

So if you are 40+ like me, you remember what it was like to live in South Korea before the good times that we're all familiar with now. You remember your college age neighbors going out on street in 1980s participating in anti-government protest throwing Molotov cocktails. You remember anti-North Korea curriculum in grade school published by ministry of education. You remember not having true freedom of press and had to self-censor even until 1990s. You remember the sacrifices people made before voting in their first true true democratically elected president in 1993.

People are empowered to make changes, because they know they can. They've sent nearly all presidents elected since 1980s to jail for corruption. It's almost a running joke that if you become SK president, your next stop after office is behind bars.

9th term - assassinated in 1979

10th term - coup and forced out

11th & 12th - jailed and sentenced to death but commuted

13th - jailed and sentenced to death but commuted

14th - family member jailed.

15th - sentenced to death by 11th pres, but commuted.

16th - jumped from mountain and killed himself.

17th - jailed and released.

18th - jailed and still in prison.

19th - still serving.

There are millions of Koreans who still remember their 1st president including my parents.

Also, living right next to China and below warmongering NK, people subconsciously know that everything can turn on a dime; you don't want to take any chance with an incompetent one at the top helm.

I think this explains the psyche and behavioral aspect of South Koreans.

The decision to jail the Samsung execs is probably just as complicated too so I won't do justice to the topic. The current administration is very socially progressive. They've been trying to tackle increasing wealth gap issues through real estate tax rules reform, minimum wage increase, and enacting more labor protection laws. As much as Korea appears wealthy from outside, loots are not being shared fairly, people are losing hope, it went from saver nation to zero-saving nation in 20 years.

This corporate crack down is an extension of that. People are pissed and they want to see blood and government is obliging.

Someone once said, Korea still has a dictator and it's the people.

Again, this is just my personal view. ;-)
I think the PinePhone can be different because

1. The thing is reasonably cheap with "good enough" specs which makes it far easier to just buy it and accept that it may be just a toy in the worst case.

2. It's likely that the specs will be "good enough" for some time so the Hardware will not be terribly outdated the time the Software reaches a usable state.

3. Smartphone hardware and manufacturing matured a lot in general so it's likely easier to get sth. working with a limited budget. In comparison the Openmoko devices were reasonably advanced for their time but were also ridden by hardware bugs.
