> I'm glad to see Income Share Agreements (ISAs) as #1. They're a tax on the poor and just as bad if not worse than predatory student loans.

They’re a loan that you don’t need to pay back unless you’re making money. The idea that they’re as bad as a normal student loan let alone a predatory one is nuts.

Certainly they should be capped so there’s a maximum amount you’l you can possibly end up paying, not uncapped like App Academy’s but you’d have to have a very high proposition of an income share or an extremely long term for them to be as bad as a standard student loan.

I can personally attest to this. My company has three choices for health insurance. All are HDHP. The hospital bill for the unplanned c-section was $30k before discounts and coverage, not including the doctors. I went straight to the out-of-pocket maximum for the year. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that I even had an out-of-pocket maximum. The out-of-pocket cost for the birth was about $7600, not including the monthly paycheck deduction for the coverage. How many people can pay a bill like that?

I work with a lot of conservatives who insist that the treatment in Canada is a lot worse (I'm in USA) however according to unverified numbers I found on the Internet, Canada's infant mortality rate is quite a bit lower.

We shared the maternity ward with lots of people (medium sized city hospital) and I'm sure lots of them were Medicare. As far as I could tell they got the exact same treatment we did.

What the hell are we doing?
I think drunk driving campaigns are a great success story. We don't see them pushing drunk driving to dramatic new lows each year because we're already close to the limit of what they can accomplish. There are people who drink and drive despite them, but there would be far more people drinking and driving without them.

Some feedback: Just list your integrations, instead of pretending you don't integrate with anything. Building access is integration too. ;) Your FAQ looks a little silly in this regard, see below.

You keep treating integration like a dirty word, but anyone who already has an existing business is going to prefer something that can integrate with existing setups than something that requires suddenly replacing the entire business flow.

----

What integrations do you support?

Jellyswitch was build so no outside integrations are necessary. Everything is available right from your app, no need to exit to external software at all.

What building access do you use?

The most common is kisi, but we can integrate with many others. What access are you using? Contact us and we will investigate if it is possible.
Those tools exist or are being worked on! Servo (last I checked) uses a “unsafe code was added or modified in this PR, please review extra carefully” bot, and Miri is on its way to becoming a fantastic tool.
Is ClickHouse good for event data when you want to do rollups?
For example, say all my events are of the form:

{event: "viewedArticle", article_id: 63534, user_id: 42, topic: "news", time: "2020-01-06"}

I want to be able to build aggregations which shows number of "viewedArticle" events grouped by hour, grouped by topic, counting unique user_ids within each bucket.

Or let's say I want the top K articles viewed each day, filtered by a topic.

That's something that's trivial with Elasticsearch, which has a hierarchical aggregation DSL. Is ClickHouse good at this?

Whenever I see time-series databases such as InfluxDB mentioned, they look like they're focused on measurements, not discrete rows. You can attach the event data as "labels", but this isn't efficient when the cardinality of each column is very high (e.g. article IDs or user IDs in the above example).

No way, the bootcamps hire some of their students as teaching assistants which the students put on their resume?! What a scam! What kind of organization would ever do this. Oh wait, every college. Not a scam, duh.

Want to hear the biggest scam? There are organizations that charge $200K up front to teach you things regardless of whether you get a job. Most of what they teach you can be acquired FOR FREE on the internet. Many many people never get a job in their field and spend decades paying these organizations back. Many of these organizations have tens of billions of dollars in endowments. You may have heard of some of them: Harvard, Yale, MIT. Something seriously must be done about these scam artists.

> A team of hydrologists, engineers, and social scientists is hoping to strengthen the water security of Lima and other Peruvian cities through analysis of a 1,400-year-old nature-based system developed by pre-Inca mountain communities. The technique uses a canal system that diverts water from streams to small ponds or spreads it over rocky hillslopes that act as natural sponges. This slows the flow of water down the mountains, preserving it into the dry season.

Isn't that exactly what swales in permaculture practices intend to do as well? Did the permaculture community copy this from indigenous techniques perhaps?

> Like most modern cities, Lima relies on gray infrastructure like reservoirs and dams for water diversion and storage. Gray infrastructure alone, however, has its drawbacks. It is often expensive and challenging to implement. It also has a static threshold, unable to adapt to shifting environmental conditions.

> Natural (green) infrastructure can be much more dynamic and cost-effective than gray infrastructure. Green infrastructure is a broad category that can include planting native grasses to prevent erosion and maintaining wetland health to hold and filter water. Crucially, communities can use it in addition to the dams and reservoirs already in place, amplifying their effectiveness and providing a buffer when their threshold is exceeded.

This reminds me of a few articles I've seen in the last years about a German city that is trying to be better at coping with lots of rainfall by installing lots of green areas specifically designed to hold a lot of water, while at the same time reducing the heat island effect.

>Supreme Court could strike down the entire California coastal access law as unconstitutional

That would require a very creative reading of the constitution. Congress could pass a law overriding it, and SCOTUS could could uphold that law under the commerce clause (land value in California affects land value in Oregon etc...).
Agreed, although the first point is kind of questionable because as technology improves, the cost of voter manipulation could plummet.

>I don't know Lex Fridman, but with all respect, I don't like him as an interviewer at all. He has zero interviewing experience, IMHO. It looks so amateur.

Actually, this looks like 100% old-style quality interview.

People are not used to this style today, but it was the quintessential style before the 90s or so, and it's much deeper than the kind of shallow interviewing we see today from "pros" (including TV hacks like Charlie Rose).
> As far as I know, the consequences of any “propaganda campaign” were minor

Tracing causality in a single election is basically impossible for phenomena which aren't very similar to those in previous elections for which there is a solid base across many examples with many variations in alternative factors that themselves are well understood to provide controls. But the effects of the campaign aren't what drove the narrative of the post-truth era, it's existence which was a major media story starting fairly early in the campaign, and the absence of any disavowal of it was.

> If the media weren’t completely wrong, they would have predicted a close race

They predicted a race about as close as it was. They also (in many but not all cases) predicted a near certainty of a Clinton victory, because, as 538 pointed out before the election in explaining why their predictions were different and showed a much lower probability of Clinton winning than other media models, many models assumed that any poll-vs-vote differences would be independent between the states, while historically polling error is strongly correlated between the states.

> Hence my point: the mainstream media messed up, big time, and instead of acknowledging it, they’ve embarked on a campaign to find a nefarious reason for the entirety of the events

But, again, this claim doesn't work because (1) the media found the “explanation” before the events, and (2) no one except those trying to discredit the story describes it as explaining “the entirety of events”.

> in reality the cause of election results are far more mundane and have more to do with economics.

This is just as much of a self-serving and fact-ignoring explanation of the “entirety of events” as the propaganda as the narrative you are complaining about would be if anyone offered it for that purpose, the difference between yours and the other one is that no one—not even the center-right Democratic establishment, who has the most to gain from getting people to believe that story—offers the other narrative for that purpose.
How would this work? We’d still need something that can detect similar/probably deepfaked content (a good cryptographic hash has random distribution).
Show HN: Another “Who Is Hiring” Aggregator: www.whoishiring.work
Hello everyone!

I know there are already a few "Who Is Hiring" aggregators, but I wanted to show off what I've done. My project was cancelled right before Christmas, so this project was a great way to blow off some steam while procrastinating looking for a new job. Tangentially, I am looking for new career opportunities if your company needs a full stack web developer, lol.

This website was completed in about a week and a half. I wanted to present it in a Show HN post on Jan 2 when the usual Who Is Hiring posts were featured, but I didn't think it had enough features to make it useful. Even this version has minimal features, such as adding personal notes and marking jobs as applied.

There's some other features I want to add, specifically advanced filtering capabilities to see new posts since your last visit, hide posts you're not interested in, saving search patterns as custom filters, and adding support for AND/OR logics in search patterns.

The frontend is a reactjs application being served on a basic AWS S3 website with CloudFront in front of it for HTTPS capabilities. The backend API services is a nodejs application running in an AWS Lambda function hooked up to AWS API Gateway. Who is hiring data is refreshed every 15 minutes in a separate Nodejs Lambda function from https://hn.algolia.com/api. The data is saved in an RDS, which is the largest monthly expense. This could be replaced with Aurora Serverless in the future.

Critical feedback for any and all aspects of the project is welcome. If you have feature requests or want to contribute, let me know here or file a GitHub issue.

The paper is far more illuminating: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm19/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/503994

This similar to some of the things I've heard about in central india(I think) where they create half moon dams (less than 2m(8ft) tall) that hold water back creating mini-lakes.

This serves two purposes: one it slows down water, meaning that flash flooding is reduced. Two is keeps water hanging around longer, meaning it makes the area less arid.

However it means more mosquitoes, so its not all good.
Let me rephrase that -- is there a more moral action they could take?

If burning the review section to the ground with garbage content forces Goodreads to take notice, I could see someone arguing that it is a morally productive, good action to take -- not just neutral, but in fact morally superior to any of the complaining we're doing on HN, since Goodreads is 100% not going to care about anything we write here.

I'm not certain I agree with that perspective, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. I'm somewhat cautious about making a strong claim that offsetting fake reviews isn't a morally desirable action.
So do we - or do we not - have decent property rights? It sounds like the land never should have been private in the first place, given how special it is.

Otherwise, if I own it, I should be able to keep others off of it. You don't actually own something that you cannot control access to.

If you disagree, then keep your front door unlocked, because I'm moving in with some friends later this week.

How is this in issue with one person and not all those home owners?

Edit: Even the reviews talk about how you can just walk to the beach without paying for parking. I don't get the problem? Is this a California beach-perspective thing? As far as I know all water front property in the US is public up to a certain distance from the water already.

I think that's a bit harsh. Even people who confess and for whom the prosecution has good evidence, can and will get lawyers or public defenders.

Potentially. They're both marketed to the same audience and they're often sold as no upfront cost, which can be really appealing.

It's more than that. I'm in Australia, hiding inside away from the smoke haze, thinking about where global warming is going. Seems clear to me that in the next 20-30 years most farming will need to move indoors into climate controlled environments. We'll need to have closed systems where the air, water, soils, and our biodiversity is carefully managed.
Old SF hands might be cashing in, but many people are getting >$150k-$250k jobs out of it. The shovel analogy is stretched thin. It's more like selling gold shovels at this point: both sides get rich, but one a little more than the other.

In europe, jet fuel isn't taxed at all (but train/car fuel is) which often makes flying the cheaper option. From london, I can fly to several european cities cheaper than I can get a 2 hour train within the UK. Which is pretty ridiculous.
You have to realize that Vinod Khosla is one of those people who is used to people just following his orders. He was successful, he owns Khosla Ventures (KV) and probably never gets called on his shit. Suddenly locals, surfers, and The Surfrider Foundation starts to push back and he thinks he can just squash them, because /s obviously he's better than them.

Let's be real, he was never in that house. I'd venture to say he spent maybe 30 days per year in that house? Like any other rich asshole with a vacation house in prime territory he bought it and wanted to keep any riffraff away. He thinks he deserves it and not for one second did he think about his public image.
The position/momentum pair is just one (important) case of a more generalized Uncertainty Principle. There's a similar one, due to Gabor (1946), which says that you can't have perfect time-limited and band-limited information, which is presumably what the OP is referring to.

The underlying math is the same, and there's a principle of complementarity that describes other pairs of quantities that need to be traded against one another.
In this thread, all people are talking about dating, but looking for a life partner and looking for one night stand are very different things. All genders and sexual orientations look for different things in those two scenarios. A person who would easily find an awesome life partner would have a lot of trouble finding casual sex, and vice versa.
I never said they should be part of the language, I said the rust community over-emphasizes the "safe" part of having the unsafe keyword and neglected the part that's actually useful in keeping things safe.

Another poster responded to me stating they are starting to work on those tools, so it looks like the rust community is starting to come around.

It's just that I've seen a lot of people tout the safety of rust as if the unsafe keyword was a panacea that automatically prevented problems. That attitude is really what I was responding to.

It was already rolled out in the 90s, then removed by a different government in the 2000s. It was called "Photo-radar".

>We're never going to figure out how to rebuild trust

I'd argue the solution towards a better society is figuring out how to eliminate trust all together, rather than trying to figure out how to make it more widespread. The issue isn't, "lack of trust", its that different groups of people place arbitrary trust in sources of authority that are perceived by them to be legitimate. The answer is to promote universal skepticism and reliance on the Socratic Method in all things. Trust nothing, verify everything and value logical consistency above all things.
What's implied in your statement is that the introduction of air travel reduced overall fuel consumption vs. where it was at when people traveled more by automobile.

This is obviously not the case.

Trying to compare the two "per pax mile" ignores the fact that the convenience of air travel created more travel than it ever saved in fuel efficiency as a bulk mover. It covers longer distances in generally less time and more comfort, it created a new class of travel in an additive fashion, it didn't strictly replace the alternatives.

If we're actually debating fuel and emissions on a large scale, this is a major part of the larger picture.

Furthermore, since the primary dimension which matters to individuals is time and cost not distance, when you'd compare a vacation by automobile to flight, the automobile vacation would likely be to a nearer destination. So one shouldn't even be comparing equal distances if attempting such a comparison, it's just not comfortable and/or worthwhile for most people to drive across the country for a weekend trip - many will do that flight without batting an eye.

Fortunately modern vehicles, especially the likes of Teslas and supercharger networks completely destroy even your disingenuous comparison.

* All the cliche health benefits and then some! Car analogy: you'll fire up the other 2 cylinders while no longer needing to tow a caravan. Combine with exercise and better diet which will be easier to stick to due to no drugs to sap your will power.

* Ability to drive places. Not worry about being "DUI" the same or next day.

* You'll exercise your ability to say no! In the UK for example it is sacrilegious to not drink unless you have a good excuse, which apart from religion (along with appropriate ethnicity to make that believable) there seems to be no acceptable excuse. So you can say "fuck you, I'm not drinking that shitty poison" and be an outcast for a while, then find people worth hanging out with.

Australia is not as bad because of the sport culture. "My personal trainer said no" is acceptable and most places I have work have had a mild to zero drink culture.

Not sure about the US, but I get the impression that like Australia and unlike UK, Russia, etc. it more acceptable to not drink.
