The danger is the military can legally lie to you with promises of what you'll be doing when you enter, and in times of personnel shortfalls that might be true.

But they can also make you cannon fodder or a deck swabber.

And ask the reservists about military promises from Iraq. Oh you're in the National Guard? Yeah we're deploying you to a foreign country for years on end.

And once you're in the military, you can be summoned for duty if they need you.

> Can you give anything close to a concrete example of this?

Sure, although I feel like your response is largely due to an uncharitable reading of my post. Whether someone can use a specific bathroom has an impact on a tiny percentage of the US population; pretty much only trans or non-binary people. Sure it's still economic in some contexts and it was incorrect for me to insinuate that it was totally social, but it is not economic or social policy that affects the vast majority of the population. Tax policy, immigration, trade policy, regulation, worker education, general schooling, government grants and investment, etc matter to far more people. Time spent on niche issues is going to appeal to fewer people by definition, and I could see people getting angry that legislative time is being spent in this manner while broader economic issues appealing to more people remain unsolved. Personally I feel that supporting those communities is morally important, but I understand why other people believe it takes a lower priority relative to economic issues affecting them personally.

> I can't imagine there's enough meaningful work to "saturate" 100% of some candidate's time with economic issue

People are clearly signaling through their voting that grossly insufficient time is being spent on economic issues. Key problems remain unsolved.

> I am not sure you know what those words mean ("any ... T person, let alone someone trans" is nonsense)

That statement implies I am referring to lesbian, gay, or bi people. I don't see what is unclear about that based on my wording. The concept of being trans is more of a logical leap for a straight person than the concept of being bi, gay, or lesbian for pretty obvious reasons. I don't think this requires further explanation.

> We are long past any plausibly deniability to not even know a gay person

You have very clearly not been to large swaths of the United States. Many, many, many people have never met an openly LGBT person. Even more are not friends with one in a close enough manner to have the types of honest, informative discussions to cut through popular misconceptions.

> if you don't know any, it's because you're actively trying to avoid them.

Yes, a large number of people intentionally self segregate into communities where other people are like them. They still get to vote.
Where I live, a lot of homeless people go to jail for the crime of being... homeless (its usually a loitering charge I think). Then they get a charge for it, which, they’re obviously not going to pay. This might happen to a person 10-100 times a year. Who is this serving?

(The obvious answer is to follow the money, but a big part of the problem is the WASPy yuppies that want the homeless people out of sight but will raise a fuss if anyone tries to build affordable housing.)

In the US, everyone thats part of administering our inhumane criminal justice system should be deeply ashamed of their job. Corruption like this is just the tip of the iceberg.

There is something to be said to build a programing language to solve a certain task in mind.

Being vector aware and having a dataframe support in R is much more elegant for me than Python's add on library. It's like Scala building on top of Java but trying to have an Actor paradigm vs Erlang built from get go around concurrency and choosing Actor as it's main concurrency paradigm. You can see this in other language on PHP and C++ let you be OOP but it's an after thought compare to Ruby or Python.

issue with ios is that there is never any control over who handles what links. Apps can register custom protocols, but for common protocols that have an apple default (https, http, mailto being the main ones) you are stuck with what they decide. No option to even install an alternate such as Chrome or Gmail, and be prompted. And similarly, even though it's not a protocol, but more like a filetype, Apple News hijacks feed URLs and there's nothing anyone but Apple can do to change that.
Self-study isn't what I mean. Nor am I referring to present alternatives to academia. I'm saying the higher education system is broken and this is something governments need to fix (and stop pushing people into university specifically, and accrediting so many that are worthless) and society needs to change in.

There should absolutely be institutions for education or trade-work post high school. These should not necessarily be universities and should still be aimed at all kinds of individuals, but talented individuals that are not good at and have no interest in academics.

Currently those institutions are often not widely respected. Colleges have become the norm post-18. That shouldn't be the case.
Thanks for restating it, because that’s a very useful reframing I’ve not heard before.

Smaller parties have gotten plenty in Israel, sometimes to the point that supporters of the larger parties feel they have less voice than whichever small party holds the balance of power at that moment.

Or, as in the current situation, there is simply no agreement, and they go months without a government. It's not clear that an inability to call re-elections would improve Israel's situation; they could be stuck for years with no government.
I’ve always thought this is quite similar to the wireless service. Smaller, densely populated European countries (compared to the size of the US) can much more quickly deliver new technologies at a much cheaper cost compared to the US, which has to basically cover half a continent of sparsely populated towns of several hundred people 50 miles across and a gaping nothing in between. As a result, cell service is 5-10x cheaper for the same amount of LTE data in Turkey compared to the US. For example, the last time I was there, 15gb LTE was about $7 pre-paid.

The same kind of penetration efficiency is in play when you’re trying to bootstrap a whole new infrastructure network like electric car charging stations.
ICE cars don't have a moderately complex subassembly that is repeated thousands of times per car. "Less parts" is only true if you count classes instead of instances (pardon the OOP nomenclature).
I think that total ecosystem collapse and the extinction of wildlife is a possible scenario this century (perhaps even likely, if we continue with business as usual rather than addressing the climate crisis).

You can see how it would happen with e.g. insects dying off: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18541536

Followed by birds that eat insects dying off: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21018916

Followed by the death of everything that depends on birds and insects, which is probably a large percentage of the remaining wildlife. Similar extinction scenarios are plausible with ocean life.

I guarantee that this would result in the collapse of civilization if it were to occur.

This is one reason it's absolutely vital to halt greenhouse gas emissions. Loss of habitat and pesticides are also huge problems for insects and other wildlife, so dealing with global heating is necessary but perhaps not sufficient to save them, but we have a clear deadline for when we must reach carbon neutrality, so that seems like the top priority.
Given the parent's comment, we have no idea if the kids are old enough to fold clothes, or have the physical ability, or anything else. To say nothing of the effort and time it can take to corral kids into doing chores.

Not OP, but as a thought experiment, I tried to think of some things that are un-discussable because of one side or the other.

Maybe universal healthcare, completely gov't paid? That's socialism to the right -- can't try that.

On the other side, maybe ending hate crime legislation? Or striking down Roe v. Wade, and letting each state be their own experimental ground? Ending minimum wage?
Or 3, there is an invisible hand helping guide pricing.
I don't mean not putting in a 401k. The comment I was replying to was implying throwing $100k into a savings account is a good idea because you'll have a couple million when you're 63.

I do not advocate throwing $100k into savings for retirement at 18.

There's a difference between reasonable financial responsibility (401k, match pension contributions w/ employer, etc) and spending all your young years worrying about being prepared for retirement.

Enjoy the life you have. Be financially responsible, but don't over-do it, is what I'm trying to say.

Biotech is a long and winding road. Going through the YC startup list from the beginning, a lot of the startups are either out of business (ubiome), some variant of snake oil, or an AI mashup for lead generation. Then there are a whole host liquid biopsy new entrants which is an extremely competitive space. The lab management software one seems the most promising actually since it is an established market.

Speaking as a former corporate lawyer...he's not wrong.

Executives have been leaking internal data to trading firms for decades. The trick is for the analyst to come up with some plausible explanation for why they reached the conclusion to buy (or sell), which is generally easy to do.
"Underemployment" is measured in terms of people getting jobs that "require a college degree." But that does not directly measure whether college is adding value: https://www.hbs.edu/managing-the-future-of-work/Documents/di...

> For example, in 2015, 67% of production supervisor job postings asked for a college degree, while only 16% of employed production supervisors had one.

When companies start requiring college degrees simply because it's an easy way to filter out the bottom of the barrel in a world where we've pushed everyone to get a college degree, the degree isn't adding value. It's just overcoming a self-created hurdle.

See also: https://www.asanet.org/sites/default/files/attach/journals/a...

> In the present study, I use ASEC data and skill ratings derived from O*NET to test the relative education hypothesis, investigating whether college degree-holders increasingly find themselves in lower-skilled jobs as more of their peers attend college. The findings support the hypothesis that as educational attainment rises in the population, individuals with college degrees are increasingly shuffled into lower skilled jobs.

I think the fact that liberal arts majors have such a hard time getting a job out of college is an indication that college isn't actually adding value. If they stumble around and eventually get a career, it may well be that it's the experience they gain in the meantime that is really adding the value (even if the college degree is checking a box).
Amartya Sen, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, established this result long ago. Specially in the case of the great Bengal famine but also modern famines generally are not due to a lack of food in the world but are a result of government mismanagement or war.

This could go very bad for Sonos.

Imagine a virus that looks for Sonos devices on a network and bricks them all via "recycle mode"!

In those situations, it's appropriate to point out potential biases or agenda from the author, but it is not appropriate to reinterpret their words based on a mental model one has of the author.

That model is likely to be flawed and incomplete, but even worse, it makes the text subjective. Two people, reading the same text, won't agree what it said. That prevents honest discussion.

In almost all of the use cases you mentionned, R blows Python out of the water.

Working with dataframes in R is much much more convenient than Pandas (loc, iloc, etc??)

Plotting is an obvious win for R, matplotlib is horrible, it's powerful yes but it is an absolute pain when compared to ggplot.

Scikit is definitely unmatched but caret is not so far behind. Also, R has a plethora of implemented models that Python lacks (from something as basic as decent quantile regression to time series analysis tools).

As for building a complete application, Python is indeed the go-to.

Syntax wise, using magrittr's pipes is an absolute pleasure. Good luck doing that with Python.
Clearly ripe for abuse just as Civil Forfeiture is.
The top quant firms also get a fair amount of internal corporate data that lets them properly populate their models.

Every model has significant biases and weaknesses. If a model survives more than one up or down cycle, it's generally a sign that the model is based on leaked data and not on the actual analytic prowress of the firm involved.
Key moments:

> [A friend] invited me to stay with her and her family who had a billiard manufacturer in Ontario in a town called Goderich. This is where we set out on a novice adventure to build this chair. We had paper sketches and cheap Walmart mock-ups of the seat and that began a year and a half process that I thought would take 3 months.

> The next day I flew to San Diego to display the chairs at a tradeshow. A friend at Bradley Mountain, a company that makes wax canvas accessories, helped me get in.

He bombed at that trade show, but it was an opportunity to fail and, presumably, to learn how trade shows worked.

> The following year, I attended the Liberty Fairs show in Las Vegas. Later, to my surprise, this trade show proved to be a success and a catalyst in moving the company forward. I was written up in many publications such as GQ and landed several stores across the USA and internationally.

> I landed a deal with Neiman Marcus as a direct result of my own effort and new confidence simply by cold calling them.

His legitimate confidence seems quite clearly an indirect result of his two friends providing opportunities to learn about manufacturing and sales.

The rest of the story is typical for everybody, whether they ultimately succeed or not--trial + error, tenacity, luck. Luck is random, but having friends and mentors plugged into the system substitutes for alot of luck.

I don't agree. I think enterprise software is a big lever that we can use to improve society. It looks different to biotech and cancer cures, but it's still important.

Enterprise software should make businesses more efficient, and productive. And we have that now. I can run a business that employs people from anywhere, using Quickbooks (accounting & billing), Rippling (HR/payroll/IT), Brex (charge card) etc. I built a simple website earlier this year on Squarespace (far better than handcoding it myself, or using old editing software). I can collect payments from anywhere using Stripe and Paypal. If I was running an ecommerce site, I'd probably be using Shopify and that related world of plugins.

Productivity growth is one of the biggest challenges of our time, and software lets us do that, without harming the environment. YC is a great addition to capitalism and societal development.

MS is very aggressive with this in their Windows 10 development VM images you can download. Theyre free, but they only last 3 months. There doesnt appear to be anyway to activate - even if you have a legit license key through my.visualstudio.com.

The VM prebuilt with VStudio, Visual Studio Code, WSL w/ Ubuntu and other goodies in a prebuilt image is attractive and a time saver. But, it's immediately on a kill switch timer of about 3 months, if you download while new. Current image expires in Feb 2020.

I was using this to connect to work in a VPN in an effort to keep work and personal separate, but I'll have to burn a Win10 license key from my subscription for a new VM.

Caveat: the expiration doesnt render the image entirely worthless, but it will only stay up for around 90 mins before shutting down without warning.

Disclaimer: not an expert.

It does have a decent, modern baseline grid running at 220v (EU standard). This is more amenable to EV than US 110v, but otherwise insignificant. A nontrivial portion of the base demand is supplied by hydroelectric dams, thus renewable, some old coal plants as generators of last resort, largely being replaced by natural gas plants for environmental
and efficiency reasons. A new nuclear plant is going online in the next few years in Sinop.

I don’t think load created by EVs would make a significant difference. It’s a developed country connected into the European grid, if it can’t generate it’ll buy from its neighbours and sell to its citizens at a premium.
You do not have to be in a combat role to see combat, get PTSD, or get injured.

My nephews serve as examples. Their non-combat roles were heavy construction, setting up communication networks, and airplane mechanic. However all three actually saw combat. 2 wound up with PTSD. And one wound up seriously injured when the plane that was delivering him to a secret mission got shot down en route.

In fact according to some estimates, the prevalence of PTSD among veterans of the Iraq war exceeds the fraction who were supposedly in combat roles.
Yep, my Bachelor's in CS and Math from at SUNY school was $2750/semester plus room and board. I worked summers, worked on campus, got a job on campus that provided a room, and took out just a couple of loans. I don't actually know how much my degrees cost me, but it was less than $50K and my family and I struggled to pay for it.
My first job out of school in '95 was a whopping $35K/yr and some benes.

I'm looking at the SUNY website and it looks like tuition, fees, room and board is about $27K a year now. It's about double what it cost me, roughly $108K for four years.
Only if you think you're getting 7% returns after inflation, which statistically is highly unlikely.

$2.1M is literally $100k compounded at 7% over 45 years.
I think my comment took it as a given that if you're spending $100k you'll use every single real opportunity you can get in college and make the most out of your $100k.

There's plenty of people that 'made it' from a local not-so-competitive state school. America remains the land of opportunity. But, unless you go to an Ivy or your parents are rich, you shouldn't expect it to come to you.

You can do things in America that you simply cannot in Europe. You mentioned a few way of doing college right in your own response. Wouldn't the correct response be to use your time in college wisely and not slack or "just make it through" but to make the most of it, rather than to skip college altogether just because it's going to be harder than having your life handed to you on a platter if you went to an Ivy?

----

2nd point I'd make is if you're in Europe student debt doesn't matter.

Tuition is almost always free/cheap, government pays for tuition and living for your time as a student, and gives very favourable terms to repay (e.g. in the UK you don't pay anything if you earn under £25k/yr, then you pay 7% of amount earned above that, debt is wiped clean after 30 yrs if any remains). It doesn't show up on your credit record or affect mortgages etc.

I'd describe America more as a country that rewards the ambitious (with perhaps some drops of luck) and the rich. If you're neither then the system is made to entrap you. Europe is easily better for general life, but it isn't great for ambitious people.
