Ask HN: Why didn't Twitter give us an option to email our followers?
The fact that you can build a captive audience on Twitter but can't email them or even know who they are (both in an opt-in way) is a huge missed opportunity for everyone. [1]

[1] I found this interesting question on Twitter and thought of asking HN the same: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1208840819295178752
Here's my anecdotal view on Japanese school. I have attended one from 1st to 2/3 into 7th grade (or 1st year of middle school) before I moved out to the States.

School in Japan (and to extent the society) really focus any students not standing out in a group. I was always considered by teachers, and peers, that was "different" from others. (Basically I Was kind of guy who would be left out when asked to "make a pair" in odd numbers.)

Fortunately, I could survive, as I wasn't really bullied much (happened time to time) and had small group of good friends, some support from someone older at school, and also befriended with some of teachers. Despite of this, feeling that I'm the one who can't blend in, that sense of shame and frustration was always reinforced. Without support, I would have had taken alternative way of school to be honest. (and to this day, it just gives me chill how bad things could have been if I actually had to stay in school in Japan for the rest of my education and beyond...)

School system in the US is not that greatest thing either, however, at least people left me alone for how I am. I attended to Japanese supplemental school on Saturdays (that I was nearly forced to attend) for a little more than two years and I didn't enjoy it for the same reasons I had problem with school in Japan.
Many countries would ignore the patent and manufacture it, driving people to medical tourism, and then the patent will expire in 18-23 years anyway.
It's pretty likely that the incumbents will get competitive electric cars on the market eventually. The real question is, how much of the overall vehicle market will Tesla have before that happens? Because the longer it takes, the longer Tesla has to convert profits from existing models into developing new models and reducing manufacturing costs and the more likely it is that they become the electric Toyota.

But it'd be a lot harder for Tesla to grow that big if the incumbents were to provide meaningful electric competition in the near term.
Was it systematically leaking the same 24 bits (encrypted to the NSA public key), or a random contiguous selection of 24 bits?

in the second case having just a few documents would result in only the NSA being able to decrypt without even brute forcing...
I would say that's less a disappointing bit and more just a factor of if it fits a potential buyer's needs.

Even with ICE cars, people have always compared multiple cars' EPA/mileage, drivability, etc. It's hardly a new issue.
Reading through https://bazel.build/designs/skyframe.html, this sounds pretty much like what would be possible with the aforementioned recursive Nix and content-addressed paths. Bazel might still win in practice since the overhead of a Nix build is pretty high, which gets even more important when you do them recursively for each file.

NPR has to be responsible journalists but we can call a spade a spade: this is insurance fraud, plain and simple.

All of the noise in this thread about healthcare system in the US is a good discussion but arguably unrelated to the bill in question. Single payer government run plans can be defrauded too.
Use an Apple Card with Apple Pay or something similar from Samsung. You are immediately notified of transactions via notifications to your phone within minutes if not seconds. It’s also much easier to access and understand your transactions

This is great to see. My experience with windows in general is that the typing latency is usually very bad compared to ubuntu. I can literally notice the lag. Plus some apps have these awful typing animations which make typing feel like wading through mud.
One of the main benefits of Bazel (and similar systems) is that you get a build cache that you can mostly trust. When you have a project that takes an hour or more to build and test, and lots of machines to run a distributed build, it really makes a difference.

If you have a small project that you can rebuild in a couple of minutes, Bazel is probably an overkill.
minor clarification: That is not what this article says. Ford's network does not include Tesla's superchargers.
Racism is present in Japan, the comment that spawned this subthread appeared to be dismissing it as something that had absolutely no explanatory power in this phenomenon and further seemed surprised by Japanese racism as a concept.

Here’s the Wikipedia article.[0] Japanese (the nation) citizens of non-Japanese (the ethnic group)[1] suffer discrimination, particularly the indigenous peoples (the Ainu just got formal recognition a decade ago) and people of backgrounds Japan (the nation) has had historical enmity with (Chinese, Korean).

Whether or not we can parse specifically what portion of kids not wanting to go to school is due to this, the fact that 30% of non-Japanese ethnicity respondents of a poll conducted by the Justice Ministry said they had experienced hate speech and 40% said they had faced housing discrimination[2] seems like it would absolutely have an impact on the school experiences of those children.

This is all limited to the types of racism that are pervasive in Japanese society that a broad portion of the student population may have experienced, but Japan’s particularly strong anti-black sentiment is also notable when discussing racism in Japan more broadly.

As to why this might be a particularly strong factor in Japan, as opposed to being some sort of “cosmic background racism” present everywhere, Japanese people’s self-conception of Japan is very tied up in ethnic identity in a somewhat unique way (maybe the prevailing sentiment of Jewish people living in Israel is somewhat similar).[3] Government officials used to talk openly about one culture, one race—when Japan has never really been that and is becoming less so with time. 10% of Tokyo is foreign born, to say nothing of those who were born in Japan of non-Japanese ancestry.

The US has very weak protections for workers across the board.

In addition to South Korea, Japan, Mexico, and Quebec outlaw strikebreaking. The practice is so rare in the EU that it is usually not even mentioned in labour law.
My company doesn't pay me for my capacity for "complex, strategic" thinking.

That's why they put me in an open plan office. Where -- as if by design -- the oxygen, lighting and noise levels already preclude those fancy kinds of thinking.
Sounds like he missed Netlify CMS. It's the best of both worlds; a nice simple CMS experience that builds on top of the elegance of static publishing.
Nowadays it seems quite rare to find someone using C for low level without solid CS background. In fact I bet a good percent of CS major undergraduate or even graduate can’t write good C code.
TLDR: statistics only offer summaries, hiding things that may be very important. But these things can't be seen: you hit a complexity problem if you try to consider absolutely everything.

It's like when the curse of dimentionality meet big O notation, and you throw your hands in the air and give up - or satisfy yourself with simplest solutions, while knowing their limitations.

Note how this applies to all abstractions. They are generally helpful, but as the saying goes, the maps are not the territories.

Except in economics, economist try their hardest to ignore these limitations, even if they go against basic logic. It's hard for a man to understand something when his continuous employment is based on not understanding.

But a minimum wage will increase unemployment. There is no workaround. A price ceiling will cause shortages. There is no workaround. People get elected promising there are workaround, and people get paid by promising to deliver workaround, but it's just smoke and mirrors.

I find it funny when I see on TV they are now going to allow some compensation for organ donors to try to fix the organ shortage problem. Using insights from this paper from 1945 and basic econ, you can already say that it's an increase in the price ceiling, so it will improve shortages.

But there will always be shortages unless a market can exist. People who fight against basic logic will just have a little less blood on their hands. But if they can sleep at night and help politicians deliver fuzzy feeling to their electorate, I guess that's good enough to deserve their wage.

After all, people just want to be reassured that the dirty hands of capitalism won't be touching the beautiful world of love and kindness that medicine is, especially regarding organ donation (cue emotional music with people cuddling)
State pension seems like the better way to go...
Tax deferring doesn’t necessarily equate to reduced taxes. IRAs just mean paying taxes later, at an unknown rate.

All income from IRAs are taxed, principle and gains. A traditional IRA has gains taxed as income, which is higher then long-term capital gains on ETFs. Assuming tax rates don’t change, a traditional IRA will cost more taxes if the withdrawal and contribution taxable income is over roughly 40k, correct me if I’m wrong. That’s assuming income tax isn’t higher in the future, which is quite a gamble as historically income tax has been going up, and historically there’s just been more and more taxes.

Don’t forget that deductions for contributions don’t matter, because you will pay income tax on that principle when you withdraw. If tax rates increase, the tax cost of deferring could be even worse. It really depends on if you’re going to be earning income when you withdraw and how much is going to be withdrawn. It’s complicated and practically impossible to estimate total final tax obligations at retirement. IRAs are not a cut and dry “just put money in an IRA” decision.

Another problem with IRAs is the lockup. If you withdraw before retirement there’s a hefty 10% penalty unless it’s for a mortgage or health insurance.
Perhaps the new chairman will do a great job... perhaps not. Time will tell. From optics perspective, it doesn't look very good to be putting current Blackstone private equity global head into Boeing CEO position.

>We’re actively training our young people to avoid taking risks, and it’s going to fuck us

I think the kind of people with the balls (or stupidity) to join/found a startup tend to be the kind of people who don't listen to what everyone else is doing anyway. This might have a sort of positive selection bias: you need a minimum amount of risk tolerance to succeed in a venture.

>Work at startups because you’ll work with people who have risk profiles that are much more likely to generate outsized returns as a group. You’ll have the opportunity to join or create a community of high-performing folks that, in aggregate, outperforms anything you can do on your own. Maybe you’ll be the CEO one day, maybe not, but no matter what you are very likely to come out ahead if you apply yourself.

After failing with a personal venture, I recently joined a small startup and I can offer an similar perspective: working here is amazing for a generalist because once your coworkers trust you, you have more freedom than you could ever ask for, and your personal decisions have compounding effects on the direction of the product that you're building. There is zero bureaucracy. This is a dangerous place which requires a knack for hiring the right kind of independent thinkers and doers who do not need hand holding and tend to have good understanding of large systems - but when the org is small and the team is well selected, if you're building something truly new and useful to society (read: not adtech or social networking) the feeling is magical and being enthusiastic about your job does wonders for life satisfaction.

I know this is a temporary state that will disappear if we fail or grow into a midsize company, so I'm trying to savor it while it lasts. Also helps to have no family so that you can crunch when necessary without hesitation.
I do not fully follow how could this title not being flagged as misleading.

The article is talking about an undocumented person who was previously deported for a felony.

Using immigrants in the title, isn't it associating a stereotype to the large number of immigrants?

I always think of sites like these when someone on HN claims that the web will disappear unless I turn off my ad blocker.

If CNET, Forbes, and these other sites disappeared absolutely nothing of value would be lost.
Well for one thing our population is over 12x that of Australia, harder to govern on a federal level. For another we are likely much less healthy than Australia. Thirdly, medical lobbying by the AMA and doctors being treated like holy men and getting a pass for said lobbying.
If you have the space and don't rent, then yes.
I think some people have some kind of misfunctional sympathetic link with what they see, so that they feel about other people's bodies like they do about their own. Others seem to rely so heavily on heuristics in their interactions with other people that they are not able to deal with outliers from their perceived norm. Others yet have not realized their mental image of another person is not an actual being, but a reflection of themselves created by their mirror neurons where the blanks are filled in based on past experience.

I suppose the study of the humanities is supposed to lead us out of this dark and terrifying labyrinth of misconceptions.
The answer is triple buffering and not using a compositor/ using triple buffering and a compositor that plays nice with it.
I do t know about the all-in-all situation, but as an anecdote I had to return a mid-range iRobot Roomba because it didn’t work near as well as expected. The Xiaomi I bought for half the price worked excellently though.

The reason? I’m sure the mechanics are mostly the same, but the AI on the Xiaomi seems way better so it actually figures out a good route throughout the house in a way the Roomba never did, and after 30 minutes it is done, as opposed to still trying to find the way out of the kitchen like the Roomba was.
Yeah I really don't get how we're supposed to interpret "50% lower". Intelligence is barely ordinal to begin with. Also ventilation when done properly isn't just some fixed rate, we already target air changes per hour and CO2 levels to prevent indoor air in an office environment from becoming too stagnant. This just means we would need to increase the ventilation, not that it wouldn't work at all.
Care to elaborate? The connection is not clear to me. Fine movements of fingers and arms isn't exactly the same as intensive full body work.
> Just look at our voting count machines. You think something like that would be treated with extreme priority and would have a lot more security around it than it does.

If the priority was to build a good system. However, powerful government factions think that all government development must be farmed wholesale to private business, because of a twisted ideological belief in the market. Those private businesses are ruled by the ideology that shareholder value is the ultimate and only good, so they slap their products together as cheaply as possible.

The result of that toxic stew is that we can't have nice things.
“AI supremacy” like it’s a podium.
Nice! Do you mind me asking what that looks like? Are you an employee or do you set it up as a contractor?

I'm curious since I'm building https://30hourjobs.com and I'm always looking for new resources and companies that support this.
the Party has given China’s top four facial recognition firms access to its database of over 1.4 billion citizen photos. One well-informed venture capitalist in this arena estimates that Chinese facial recognition firms have one million times more images than their U.S. counterparts.

That doesn't sound right. 1.4b photos is nothing compared to facebook and google.

Facebook + Instagram has 2.3b + 1b active users and each one uploads tons of photos. Facebook uses these for facial recognition.

Google owns Android (2.5b active users).. and if you've enabled face auth, Android is sending your photo to google to be analyzed. They could also use Google Photos and Youtube videos (although I don't know that they do).

Amazon owns Rekognition.. and if you're using it, they're taking the photos you process with it and using it for training. They're used by law enforcement and a variety of companies, and I'd be willing to bet they have more than 1.4b photos.

These are probably better data sets for training too.. since they show people in the real world vs China's ID photo database of people posing for a photo.
In my company (similar size with Boeing, also manufacturing but in a different business sector) we mostly promote from within, but the CEO is always a marketing or sales guy and IT is reporting into the CFO, which has absolutely no knowledge about the area. Only the plant managers are former engineers promoted up, everyone above that level is former sales or marketing.
AFAIK every single other OECD state has explicit or de-facto (via monopsony) price controls for much of the healthcare sector. Hell, even non-OECD free-marketer-beloved Singapore does.

I would, no kidding, love to see any example of a successful, modern healthcare system that doesn't employ price controls to keep costs from getting out of hand. Allowing "successful" and "modern" to describe the system in the US, it's the only one I know of that doesn't.

>Rather than people just demanding non-insane private healthcare

There is no such thing. A free market for healthcare will end up with people being trapped or simply lacking access. The entire concept of insurance is just a middle-man on a necessary service, one which should be considered a right for a society as rich as ours.

You either massively regulate private companies to force them to cover sick poor people at a big loss and compensate by making healthy people pay more, or you just get rid of the middleman and cover everyone directly (single payer).

Seriously, what value do insurance companies provide? How is it not just rent-seeking on people's health?

China has 1.7m prisoners and executes single-digit thousands each year. With those numbers, the fact that it "executes many of its prisoners" is immaterial for its incarceration rate vs the US (maybe those China #s aren't accurate, I can't be sure).
When class-based React beats Hooks
The reason why is the math changed. The gap between startup and tech giant is much larger now than it was in 2010. Also, unless you have insider access and join a very risky angel stage company, the likelihood of getting a good package that makes sense is low, very low. Also public companies have shown to get +3x gains, which can make the math even worse.

Example from personal experience that is very lucky in startup land:

I'm an unwise jr, who gets a 25k (with 25k stock units) purchase price stock plan for a series A company valued @ 5m. 4 years later that same company has 200x in valuation to $1b and I get 5k more stock units as refereshers over 4 years 'since the value of the company has gone up so much'. The value of my stock is not 6 million, but 600k because of dilution. So even with this very positive case situation, I broke even +/- 100k or 200k compared to big tech co with promotions, but whats worse, I can't sell my stock. The company later dies and all of that stock is only sold for about $40k total in secondaries that happened before the last $1b valuation round.

Considering that is the good case, why would I work as an early employee at a startup? With capital being so abundant and being employee #1-5 at an angel startup, I might as well become a founder and start my own at that point, or join the obvious next big tech co, which was facebook back then.

We also only have so many years to go on startup expeditions, maybe 5 total before we are 50, or more if we are able to fail fast.
> There is a law against committing suicide

The vast majority of Western countries (at least) no longer have laws against committing suicide.

What they do have is laws that allow the basic rights of people who are considered "a danger to themselves", such as the right to refuse treatment, to be set aside. In my view such laws, unless limited to people with specifically diagnosable and treatable conditions, are an unwarranted invasion of government into an individual's private affairs.
> A common example

Do you have a source for why this specific example is common?
Reviewing Bad Schematics as EE Interview Tactic
At least the intent is transparent. "we're here to help ourselves, but it will help you too" is a lot less suspicious than "we're here because we care..."
Safe spaces is a phrase people use when they don't want to call it these environments for what they actually are, which are spaces for vulnerable members of society to have a place to discuss issues that are relevant to them, without having the already dominant voices in society interjecting, usually in a disrespectful manner.
This is not the norm AFAIK. Matching at my previous companies has been proportionally into the mutual funds I had selected as part of my portfolio.
This is where I feel Reason comes in. While emotions are important, facts are always more important. Judging people is good if it's to further your own self interest otherwise it's a complete waste of mental energy. "Judging others" is a fact of life and has to be done, what shouldn't be done is doing it unnecessarily, especially when other people have no affect on your life. For example judging people over sexual/religious choice reasons is most often a waste of energy and shows your own unfair biases and character failures and just a projection of lack of self-esteem.
Seems like a strange thing to go around correcting people on. I didn't even know it was supposed to be a police code, it's just some silly code word for weed that like 85% of American english speakers understand to mean weed.
For sure I didn't think there were enough problems with the status of the Marshall Islands in international law, and so this seems like a brilliant idea altogether.
