Great book on this topic is I Don't want to talk about it by Terrance Real
The museum might be cool but that website is badly designed enough to testify against this idea of being a self-taught artist.
You're conflating issues here. Fraud is still criminal. Some made bad business decisions, some have committed fraud. Some have made money, some have lost. The ones which made bad business decisions lost money. That's not what the book is about.

> That's not a good point of evidence. The laws in question are regarding government employees self-dealing by awarding contracts in exchange for employment/favors later.

This happens all the time. It's called the 'Revolving door'. It's not that hard to prove, it's just that federal prosecutors don't bother instrumenting the cases, unless there is political gain from doing so. The laws in question I was replying to, were 'Federal laws', not specific to conflicts of interest, but even so..

I'm not advocating for the book, I read it and found it both interesting and representative of the recent enforcement efforts by the government which nobody can deny have been sub-par. Most of this is because of the broken incentive structures for prosecutors. Take for example the Equifax breach in which only two employees have been indicted and convicted of insider trading, with penalties totaling a whopping 160k. That's some vigorous enforcement right there.

Another examples of vigorous enforcement is what happened to the tobacco executives after lying to Congress. Or.. other people who also lied to Congress https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/5-people-who-lied-...

So yeah.. vigorous.

I did a few years of 80 hours, but that was as a medical resident / fellow. There is a lot of creativity in medicine (especially thinking adversarially to try to reduce premature closure on a diagnosis), but even then certainly we’re not being creative for all 80 hours a week.
No, it's up to the web developer to choose that. The person using the site doesn't get that choice.

Netflix is killing it if you think of them as a cable channel, like HBO. If you think of them as a movie rental shop, like Blockbuster (or Netflix) used to be, they're terrible.

I'm diagnosed with ADD and have a prescription for Ritalin/Concerta. I'm a full time programmer, and I think my sustainable "real work and focus" time is max 6 hours. Today looks more like 4.

A higher dose does not increase that time, at least for me. I'm curious how those without add/adhd are affected.

I don't consider myself a platform enthusiast, but I do find myself annoyed at people who call for regulation of tech companies because its trendy.

People are outraged Airbnb can ban you without recourse -- tech must be regulated! Not a peep against hotel giants who can do the same thing

People are outraged that Amazon wants to build an HQ2 in NYC because it'll displace people and must be stopped! Not a peep that it's home to the headquarters of 52 Fortune 500 companies already and grows by tens of thousands of people a year.

People are outraged that Apple paid little in income tax on a huge profit last year and tech must be regulated! Not a peep about Chevron, Delta, or Halliburton.

It's just populism. People know and interact brands like Google, Apple, Airbnb, etc so they're easy targets, and as a result we're going to end up with regulation that narrowly targets that high profile offenders without doing anything to solve the broader root cause issues. California's AB5 is a perfect example -- it's basically meant to target Lyft/Uber/etc and exempts many industries for no reason: hair salons, insurance brokers, real estate agencies, photographers, fishermen, and more. Why? Because they want to specifically target the big bad tech companies without fundamentally fixing the problem of ensuring all workers get a living wage.
The people who work in the trades are pushing their children away from the trades. (An example is the recent HN post on Chinese restaurants closing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21871240) The hours can be long, the manual labor is hard, and the conditions are often harsh.
>A masters thesis is original research and a phd thesis is a significant contribution to the field.

In theory. Usually it is just pandering to the acceptance commission.
This isn't about economics. This is about power. We used to understand that power is an incredibly dangerous thing. This country was founded on the principle of diffusing power: no one person should have unilateral authority over the lives of millions of people. Consequently, our government is set up to pit ambitious people against each other and make them accountable to the public. It's worked for hundreds of years.

Why shouldn't we apply the principle of separation of powers to corporations that can harm millions of people? Once a company becomes so large that it becomes an integral part of society (and I think Airbnb now qualifies) it should be subject either to regulation (to diffuse power and make the company accountable to public via the state) or split up (to diffuse power and make the company accountable to the public via the market). Consider it a lifetime achievement prize. The overriding principle here is that no one person should have the amount of power of individual lives that the CEO of an essential monopoly has.
I think at least part of the solution is to involve your children in your finances. I think if they are able to understand your families monthly/yearly budget, they will be much less likely to take on a ton of debt, as they will more likely understand the consequences of their decisions.

The financial literacy in this country(USA) is absolutely terrible and I think this is one of the most important things a parent can teach there children, because they will not learn this in school. Part of the problem is that most parents themselves are not financially literate and do not have savings or budgets. Life is so much easier if you have a good understanding of money. People like to say "Money doesn't matter", security matters and freedom matters, good luck getting either of those things without money.

At this point it is very obvious the government or universities are not looking out for us in this regard, so this will be one thing my children understand.

Can you expand please on the blocking group messages?
Because I believe in liberty. If I wanted to create a content hosting platform for example, I would want to reserve the right to ban people without notice and without recourse. I'm in the business of hosting content I want to host, not in the business of arguing with people on whether or not their content is appropriate. There are many other platforms to choose from.
It's too early to judge. If he accomplishes his goal of establishing permanent and self-sustaining human settlements on other worlds then he may end up being the most important person ever, not just CEO.

His goals, at least, are ambitious in a way that those of the other people you mentioned aren't (except possibly Bezos, but Bezos doesn't laser focus on this stuff the same way Musk does).

They’re really going overboard with these security questions. This is why I use ProtonMail.
A lot of surgeons have 80 hour workweeks. This is especially common is smaller hospitals in rural areas. It's not all surgery, but they're definitely not sitting at their desks and doing nothing. Before regulations, it was not uncommon for some doctors to work over 100 hours because they were in such high demand.
I may live in a bubble in this scenario growing up with parents and their friends that did painting/contracting/electrical/plumbing/flooring/etc. but I don't ever hear them as stigmatized. I think a lot of people have a real solid view of these jobs; Physically demanding with low top end rewards.

Few people go into those jobs or unions and make 200k a year. People def make a livable wage, but it's very demanding work physically. I have a friends that do flooring and roofing and they absolutely pay the bills but they are hurting and only just approaching 30. They have months where they have tons of work, and months where they have no work at all.

So while these jobs beat entry level roles and service jobs paying 15 an hour if you're luck, they don't hold the same value as being a lawyer or a doctor or like many of us here, an engineer. My back hurts because I have bad posture and sit all day, not because I was lifting hundreds of pounds of shit all day. And my salary is higher than my buddy that is high up in his union stopping OSHA violations.

Support trades, they are valuable and important. But I don't think we should praise them as the best path to securing your future. They are jobs just like any other with their own risks and rewards.
Your approach is right - you need to save for your own retirement as the highest priority.
I 100% believe the authors side of this charade, and I think the answer to the hypothetical goes something like this:

1. 90% of Airbnb hosts are not going to run into that problem because they’re going to do everything to make it right, so to fear it would be akin to being worried about getting hit by lightening.

2. 10% of Airbnb hosts are psychotically delusional and create problems, do nothing to fix them, and empowered by Airbnb, leave the only remaining outlet as off-site reviews. These people don’t have any business renting property.

So that is to say — the “problem” of off-site reviews is a secondary repercussion of Airbnb letting nearly anyone rent their places, and then not doing enough to prune bad hosts out. It’s a fundamental misalignment in their business model to tilt this heavily towards hosts, because hosts have illiquid property in mostly crowded markets (expendable) while customers have extremely liquid capital and lots of choice.
No. It's no different than advertising. You may think you are "mature" enough but it does impact how you behave in suttle ways
Well, the conservatives want to conserve, not the current status quo, but the status quo of, say, 1950. To get there from here, we'd need to make some drastic changes to the current status quo.

And that's not inherently an insane approach. If we've been going in the wrong direction for the last 70 years, the most useful move is to go back to where we were.

Now, in practice, it's not that simple. You can't just go back. You don't even want to just go back; parts of 1950 we do not want to return to. And you don't have the people you had 70 years ago, or the expectations, or even the societal values.

But I think this explains why a conservative could want to radically shrink (or, rather, de-grow) government, and still legitimately remain a conservative.
That's complete bullshit. I've known plenty of plumbers, I've never met one who had almost $1 million saved up by 33--which is the example they are using.

Sure some small percentage of plumbers might make $90k after 5 years and manage to seriously save. But that's not anywhere close to normal.

Also even with the cherry picked example of a union plumber who is unbelievably disciplined with respect to saving. And a doctor who does an optional fellowship.

The doctor still comes out WAY ahead over their lifetime.
I can agree that copyright is the main culprit, but I am not willing to absolve Netflix from the choices they make. Just as you pointed out, those choices appear to a part of their generap strategy.

All that said, as a customer I don't care. I have been spoiled by near instant access to anything I want free of ads. If Netflix does not want my money, someone else will.

And if no one else will, then that is how we get piracy.

To sum up, I really do not disagree with you. I just think customers are less tolerant today.
It's been some years, but I think it boils down to the definition of when you are _considering_ some part of the game state.

Right off the bat, I cannot agree that abc must contain exactly 2 mines. From what we can see, abc contains _at most_ 2 mines. There may or may not be mines in what you have left out, and we cannot know without considering what's there.

I haven't written a formal proof for that statement, but I have been unable to solve it to my own satisfaction by reasoning about a reduced view of the board.
Presuming tom_ isn't a criminal, I'd hazard that the reason tom_ likes reverse-parking and thinks forward barking is hard, isn't because tom_ drives the wrong way down one way streets, but because tom_ has trouble parking without the extra lane worth of turning radius.

Even if you think the complaints are due to "trendiness" or "populism", there a more non-tech folks than not. It's plain math (tech is a vocal minority), the regulation will get here eventually (as has happened with Uber, Lyft, AirBnB, and is likely to happen to larger tech firms in the future). As a tech professional, I believe more regulation over tech in general is long overdue. With leverage comes responsibility and oversight.

My anecdote is real. I was walking back from a party to my girlfriend's house at 2AM, and a vehicle approached me head on and came to an abrupt stop. I was blinded by the headlights and a large man with gray hair jumped out of it carrying a baseball bat and charged me with it. He held it horizontally with both hands and rammed me in the chest, knocking me to the ground. He had already called the police, and lived a few blocks away. Neighbors woke up, and he asked them to update his location.

3 cars showed up. I was happily waiting for the police because the man was threatening to hit me in the head, and I knew I was innocent. The neighbors were all away, watching from their porches. The cops showed up, didn't believe me at all, and 100% believed the man who had just fucked me up with a bat. It wasn't a fun night.

Keep in mind, I was already hurting from the bat when I got cuffed and tossed down.

You are constructing a straw man here, by acting as if I'm against cops doing the same thing. Of course I'm not. I'm simply observing that individuals should first change their own behavior before expecting changes from others. This goes for the cops too. They should respect people even if they are being disrespected and called pigs or whatever.

I'm against all forms of abuse of power, and I take huge issue with police unions and departments sheltering bad actors. It's deeply frightening to me to think about abusive people being given a license to commit violence with impunity.
Ask HN: Moving the Needle
I have been looking for ways to begin initial traction for a startup/side project in ways such as getting a newsletter (100 people/friends/some target users) and some attempts at the bullseye framework (https://medium.com/@yegg/the-bullseye-framework-for-getting-traction-ef49d05bfd7e) but to no avail. I know where I want to go for my target audience but am lost from where to start in order to get a sustainable platform going. I tried listing initial users but they were not from the target audience. Do I get a bunch of people on a list and invite them to the platform by emailing all of the people on competing websites to join? I am trying to do content marketing by releasing a blog every month or so (which is probably not enough). I'm simply lost but know I can make an impact on the space with the problem these people are experiencing day to day. Thank you.

I am a senior IC transitions to management. I think these articles leave out a very significant part of the equation and that is compensation and career mobility. Generally the management track at higher levels has more openings. If you stay in the IC track, there are going to be much fewer openings at that level with appropriate compensation. This is particularly true the more specialized your knowledge is. Moving to management track provides more opportunity at the same/similar or greater compensation. The exception to this are the FAANG companies but in my experience it’s way easier to get in through the leadership ladder than through the senior IC ladder. At least that was my experience in the 2 I’ve worked for. In one of the FAANG I worked for, I joined as a senior IC but was given a very non-senior manager and was effectively treated as a junior engineer during the 1st year.

Hackers Bypassing Two-Factor Authentication
The average is probably around 45. 60-65 are the high hand numbers. Some people in SV do less than 40 real hours of work, a lot 40-45 and some do a few days/weeks of a stretch above 50h but let's not fall into the fallacy that everyone is working +60 hours all the time.
This is not accurate.

Yes, many election systems result in more parties than FPTP. But left and right still have salience within those.

In fact, you can look at how each politician votes (without explicitly coding votes as left or right). This itself forms a space equal to the number of votes taken. But that vote space can be projected into a much lower dimensional space that captures most of the information about the vote space. If you go so far as to collapse it into a one dimensional space, that corresponds to the traditional left/right axis, and this holds through both history and internationally. The second issue is a bit more varied, but most of the time the left/right axis dominates whatever that second dimension is. Look up DW-NOMINATE for more info.
To be clear: I love this business model. This is how I watch films for the most part. But while lots of films are available this way, just as many are not. And many of these are not some obscure indie film - they are acclaimed mid-to-high budget Hollywood films that, for no good reason, are trapped in IP purgatory.

This actually sounds reasonable with an open source model. Masks are open, so a third party could xray chips coming out of various fabs. Since that's a nondestructive process, identical chips could be tested by multiple parties, and the community can compare notes.

Maybe but given that probably your verification at some point will involve an email account I think you could use GPDR to remove all personal info, and then use a new email address to sign up and get through.

However if they could do something like use your credit card info to identify you and have a hash of that - until you changed bank etc.

At any rate I don't think it is impossible to beat the ban.
CEO is different from employee with no stake in the company. Sure, he probably does spend 80+ hours on his companies, but he's enjoying it. He's not beholden to any expectations of a manager. He's spending time reading/exploring/chatting and including that as 90 hours of work. Musk has no line drawn between work and play. I think Musk flaunts this public image to encourage a breakdown of work and play, not to say you should spend 90 hours checking boxes your manager gave you.
This is not my experience. It might depend on the field. Unless there is a "peak IC" doing stuff development stagnate and no matter how much time or resources is put into something the great results never comes. Things turn out good, yes, but not great.

It might be that I see this from an engineering perspective and that "the market" and stockholders wont notice in the short term until the brand gets a quality reputation in 10-20 years from user hearsay.

Managers on the other hand seems to mostly have the duty of fighting fires and putting out fires - with the most important quality of not litting fires themselves. There is no way a great engineer working as a manager have time to deal with deep proactive technical issues where I have worked.
Your last sentence crosses into personal attack. None of that here please.
