#1. Trinet for full-time remote/distributed workers. I've spent countless hours researching Global PEOs and reviewing their often poorly written contracts. If a reputable service existed that allowed us to hire in any country without having to form our own corporate entity in that country, we'd be ready to sign yesterday. Unfortunately, all existing services are either:

* Too new (There are promising upstarts, but they usually don't operate their own entities and it seems risky to route all our IP ownership assignments through a tiny company)

* Too expensive (massive markups on what should be a standardized service)

* Too incompetent (One PEO sent us a contract for a Canadian employee that assigned their IP in accordance with US law. It's facepalm-bad sometimes).
Restrictive commercial zoning limits competition for a space, enabling businesses that could not otherwise afford to be there. It’s a way for a community to inject some central planning and override the market when they disagree with its wisdom, e.g to kill the local independent coffee shop in favor of Blue Bottle.

It’s also a way to concentrate traffic where there’s infrastructure to support it, and limit it where there isn’t.

Proponents would say that that a good central plan adds value more value to the city as a whole than it costs in local inefficiencies.
You're right. I think I personally just get so incredibly upset with people who always look toward the past or are just mortified of change. I associate the sadness with their fear of change.

Nonsense... according to the Revised Standard Rules of 1892, subsection 19, paragraph A stroke 2, a player whose name starts with the letter 'a' may not play Stockwell on the first move of the game!
I stand corrected! I was just confused why they would have possession of the DNC servers?? So many interesting questions still to answer!
I would like to comment - respectfully - I hope. I do believe death to America is the literal intent. I think the author of the article below is somehow attempting to sugar coat the saying as a means of arming a sympathetic audience on social media. I wonder if those images in the article are even real (upon first glance I honestly couldn't tell). Personally, I am a free speech absolutist. If one feels more comfortable saying death to America, or bah to America, or good will, you idiots, I do not care as none of these sayings are offensive to me. I'd rather you be clear about your feelings than to sugar coat them. I also would say that over the years, my own stance towards Iran has moderated and become more sympathetic. I am ok with an Iran that does not agree with our priorities and I do not think regime change is the optimal outcome. Further, I don't think the killing of Soliemani was intended to signal we intend to change the regime. I think rather it was asking a question in a way that it couldn't be mistaken for anything else. And that question is simple -- "do you really want to do this?" I think Soliemani's funeral can be symbolic (if nothing else) in this respect: It's time for Iran's leadership to give this era of zero sum foreign policy a proper burial.
me too, I think it's probably due to the fact solving a Rubik's cube is pointless and accomplishes nothing as opposed to the puzzles in programming which do. I's rather write an algorithm that solves Sudoku than actually do Sudoku.
>Solution: Embed an engineer (or build engineers out of support -- who will focus on support problems) and let them fix the bugs that are most important to support (and have full access to pair/partner with greater eng if the bug is gnarly.)

I suggested that once and Risk said it was a "Segregation of Duties" SOX violation.
When asked if Support could prioritize bugs to the Dev teams responsible, I was laughed out of the meeting.
It's not just SF, I sat in on some such meetings in Mountain View. It's petty tyrants in positions of power showing the plebes the extent of their authority. One of them even acknowledged that everything was up to code in a restaurant, but they wanted changes made anyway due to subjective aesthetics.

The regulations here are generally sane - the retraining requirement for a new plane is an unavoidable necessity.

Boeing tried to game the regulations, and because of cuts the regulator didn't have the manpower to catch them.

Classic "starve the beast" - cut funding to government so it fucks up, then claim government is incompetent and so should be smaller.
Zed Shaw writes books targeted at new programmers. From my standpoint, he has a financial incentive to not appreciate bootcamps, especially those with ISAs and similar that don't require up front investment from students because they are cutting into his book sales.

Some of his points are definitely true at some schools, but it's worth taking most of them with a grain of salt.
This way, it simultaneously objectify women making us basically boardgame victory token and simultaneously giving women too much power or too much consequence of having sex.

The assumption that the decision to have causual sex is somehow result of valuing the dude is imo wrong.

> The only time I do gifts now are because I genuinely, altruistically, want to share something.

And that is the sort of gift that actually has meaning!

I frequently give gifts to my friends and family, but rarely around some sort of event. It happens when I see something that I know a particular person would love, so I get it and give it to them.

I think that makes the gift truly meaningful. Not because its actually personalized, but because it demonstrates that I was thinking about them at a time when I was not expected to be.

If it works for you, all the more power, but this sounds about as warm and loving as a chemistry test.

If we boiled everything down to sheer logic we wouldn't celebrate Christmas at all. The point isn't necessarily what makes the most "sense," it's about tradition and good feelings.

This problem isn't one born with the internet. Think about all those "WE BUY HOUSES 4 CASH" signs you see at stop lights. Why can't the city simply look up the phone number on them and convict the business owner for breaking advertisement laws? Because there is no proof he put the sign there. It could be the competition trying to frame him! Thus, the signs are simply thrown out... and he can put new ones out tomorrow.

1. More people voted for Clinton than Trump in 2016. If you look at the notion "More campaign funding = more votes", then this instance does not prove that wrong. It says a lot about Clinton's campaign strategy and America's election system, however, that she still lost the election despite more votes.

2. Trump still raised about a billion dollars. That is an insanely large amount of money.

3. Campaign financing for elections and financing for lobbying for policy are different things. For the latter, it is all but proven that financing is all that matters: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli...

Ok got it - but what's the issue? This is similar to invoice financing, which is a pretty common practice.

The only way I see this impacting student outcome is if the school loses motivation to help students post-graduation, but the discount for selling these ISAs must be very high.
I want to second this question - this is a relatively easy-to-fix issue on GR's side to have more moderation tools and powers. But otherwise, are there any other substantial complaints?
Vincent Canfield comments on his expulsion from the 36C3
Cause it's where I live and it's where the cultures and legal systems I'm attempting to hack are located. It's the state asserting itself over my child in some way, which I don't recognize as mine to give away on their behalf. And that's a religious standpoint, so I'm curious how the US might handle this situation.

It does beg broader questions about potentially every government, as well.
Another piece of contextual information that's important is that interviewers can provide hints during an interview.

For example, I was asked this question once: Given N points and 3 squares of side length L, what's the minimum L that allows you to cover all N points with the 3 squares?

I think this question is fairly unreasonable as an interview question, if you weren't given hints. In the context of an interview, however, I think it could be reasonable.
I think most companies do not even have IC roles analogous to SVP. Google has two Senior fellows, and those are two guys who are far too famous and responsible for too much of the Google backbone infrastructure.
Hacker News is full of advice for people attempting to get successful outcomes in situations where there are 20,000 applicants to 100 jobs, so I'm amazed that a discussion of how you can improve your outcomes under a 150:100 ratio is now "victim blaming".

Also, newsflash: not getting attention from the gender(s) of your choice doesn't make you a "victim". We're back to the entitlement thing, I guess.

But yes, moving out of the Bay Area will help. However, I'd hazard a guess that unless someone moves to somewhere where a six-figure salary makes them a minor princeling, your problems may follow them. Because a boring dude in SF or the Bay is still a boring guy in Des Moines or Scranton.
This is absolutely on target. I am hearing from friends in Wichita that the Textron Aviation merger with Beechcraft is creating the same situation as the Douglas-Boeing merger. I have friends that have been with Textron for a long time that are getting new bosses from Beechcraft and the term that is getting used is "well that was Beeched."

Your point about unsafe pointer handling in Rust is specifically what dissuaded us from using it in an upcoming project. It really feels bad prepending all of the code that you actually care about being safe with `unsafe`.
A good test question each person can ask for themselves is, "Do you take joy in the suffering of others?" If you do, you are likely on the wrong side.
> inability to get treatments for ex.

I don't think that is a good example. If the treatment you need requires you to fly, that means it a very complicated diseases, or a rare disease that only a few centers treat. In any case, it is likely that the care is very resource intensive and is either expensive or heavily subsidized. In those cases, even if the airfare were doubled or tripled, it would not be the limiting factor in treatment.
Lifestyle judgments aside, you'll certainly save a lot of money in the long term.

Good luck! I'm trying to rein in my affinity for craft beer (I love the beer but hate the empty calories that come with it).
That is what the WiFi Alliance is trying with WiFi 6. They just have the baggage of the old names (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) to deal with. (It is a lot of baggage. Everyone can agree that n/ac are WiFi 4 and WiFi 5 respectively from a consumer standpoint, but between a/b/g there a lot of interesting debates on how you can possibly number any of them 1-3 in any order for both technical reasons and consumption reasons.)

This story is interesting because even in trying to keep to consecutive single numbers, the WiFi Alliance hit a detour in the consumer expectations. "6E" doesn't make sense as a "6.1" or a "7", but still needs to be differentiated from "6 only" to sell it to consumers.

Can’t that be achieved by simply Facebook offering an option for feeds of manually created group by you? Like you create a group called closefriends where you add your close friends and family upto 25 members. Then a feed for those people only shows up?

Almost similar to where each user is a subreddit and you create a multireddit.
That's why we have ratings: to see which hosts or tenants are bad.

You give people gift cards to force them to buy a certain gift. That’s why I would buy a gift card, if I’d ever do that.

>I guess the difference is that it improves road safety

I don't think this is necessarily true for red light cameras. Many studies have shown that they lead to more fatalities and more collisions (fewer people getting T-boned when they run red lights, offset by more people getting rear ended when they slam on the brakes so they don't get a ticket). Other studies have also found that cameras reduce collisions and deaths, so I think to some extent it's still an open question and the answer may vary in different locations.
> Clinton seems to have been the only candidate who was actually trying to win the popular vote. She put a bunch of campaigning resources into places like California which would increase her popular vote share but wouldn't affect the result.

What Clinton was trying to do was not so much “win the popular vote” but “maximize down-ballot coattails associated with an expected electoral victory” (and, thereby, assure that members of Congress of her party felt thet owed her.)

It's perhaps worth remembering that inability to marshal support from Congressional reps of his own party, particularly it's liberal wing, is what handed her husband two stinging early embarrassments (one of which was defeat on an issue she was the face of): the lesser being NAFTA passing with strong Republican support but widespread and strong Democratic opposition, and the greater being the humiliating defeat of Clinton's signature campaign initiative, health care reform.
Awesome. Thanks for Validating. I'm going to spend the next year of my life building exactly that. Right now I've just put it a manifesto with some ideas at http://orows.com, but will be coming out with a proof of concept very soon.
I guarantee you whatever route you take in a city, you will fall under the gaze of at least one security camera.

It doesn't appear you have any evidence for your viewpoints, just vague fears, topped off with a standard appeal of "what about PoCs?"
I think this is a good intention but it would end up with little difference.

My iconic example is that Marin county with some of the highest levels of tertiary education are also the highest in terms of not getting their kids vaccinated.

Also seen in campaigns against drunk driving and campaigns for eating balanced diets. People become aware of the pros and cons (after exposure) but continue unabated in their behavior.

I’m a pessimist on this.
Another Pay Pal Scam
I don't take issue with the "zero-cost" part -- Zig and C, like every low-level language, have that -- but with the non-abstraction-"abstraction" part, which is rather unique to C++ and Rust. Rust has become a modern take on C++, and I'm not sure it had to be that for the sake of safety; I think it became that because of what you said: it was designed to replace C++ in a certain application with certain requirements. It's probably an improvement over C++, but, having never been a big fan of C++, it's not what I want from a modern systems programming language. It seems to me that Rust tries to answer the question "how can we make C++ better?" while Zig tries to answer the question "how can we make systems programming better?"

Of course, Zig has an unfair advantage here in that it is not production-ready yet, and so it's not really "out there," and doesn't have to carry the burden of any real software (there's very little software that Rust carries, but it's still much more than Zig). I admit that when Rust was at that state I had the same hopes for Rust as I do now for Zig, so Zig might yet disappoint.
Bingo. ISAs are financed one way or another, whether it’s with VC or with an ISA-backed financing mechanism.

Lambda School is still on the hook and loses money until the students are placed and have paid back. It’s about incentive alignment.
Ooh! Ooh! Here's one! Offering you "free" training and job placement, then making you sign yourself into two years of indentured servitude, falsifying your CV and phone screen to get you work, and because of that contract you signed if you back out you're on the hook for the cost of your "free" training, which they assess at $20,000.
Seems interesting. Why can't I find it on boardgamegeek.com?
Decades is too much to ask, but one decade isn't. It isn't a single ideology, but a set of overlapping ideologies. Those do shift, as circumstances and priorities change, but generally not radically within the scale of a single Presidential term.

I'd say it's not unreasonable to commit to a party and re-evaluate that commitment every decade (or perhaps 8 years is a better figure in the US). That's not to say that you won't be constantly looking out for new information, like a technological change that makes you reconsider your ideas or the discovery that some candidate is very untrustworthy. But if you want anything nontrivial done, it's not going to happen on a time frame shorter than a half-decade -- and your allies are going to want to believe that you'll still be with them once they've achieved your top priority.

> Even if Google doesn't pay you for your data, you still have the right (as a resident of California) to prevent Google from selling on your data directly, or in using your data as part of a sale (e.g. targeted advertising).

Except the definition you quoted doesn't say anything about "using" the information to provide a product (ie targeted advertising), it only talks about actually transferring that information to "another business or third party for monetary or other valuable consideration". So if the information doesn't leave Google's servers then it seems like it doesn't apply to Google.
I personally cannot give up myself for a relationship. Meeting with friends sure, but marriage and kids? I'd rather have a hobby. I know there is the whole mindset that "it's different when they're your kids" however I only see having kids as the purpose of having an heir...which I recognize is absurdly outdated of a view.

For myself though, that is honestly the sole reason I'd want a kid. Financially I'm not in a place where I could honestly bring a kid into this world better off than myself. I like pets, but they take up a large portion of my day. I can't imagine what a kid does.
The civil air transport airframe business environment was brutal long before Carter and Reagan. Look at the history of Lockheed, Convair, Dehavilland, etc. in the development of passenger jets during the 50's, 60's, and early 70's. There has always been a lot of technical and economic pressure in this business.
It's a vicious cycle. People are still coming to the area and they demand high salaries because housing prices are high, and housing prices are high because of the high salaries of people already living in the area.
In all offers I submitted and both houses I bought, that was the case.

That also allows the buyer to get out for any reason within the financing contingency window (by just not complying with all the ridiculous paperwork demands from the lender, "oops, sorry, mortgage didn't end up coming through")
Can we alternatively get the ability to upload that to IPFS?

Its normalized by distance, so the fact that 75% of your driving is short trips doesnt matter. You could argue that you need to look at only sustainable trips, but I think its unlikely to change the conclusion that per mile flying is safer than driving on a per mile basis.

You'd need to set some minimum trip distance for which flying is a viable alternative, like say 300 or 500 miles. Then throw out all the driving data for under that. Now, how would you expect this to shift the deaths/mile of driving?

In order to reduce it, driving short trips would have to be more dangerous per mile than driving long trips. I think this is unlikely to be true. Long trips often take place on highways at higher speeds and thus accidents have higher consequences. Drivers are more likely to be fatigued on longer trips. Drivers are less likely to be familiar with the roads on longer trips.

You've probably also got to throw out all flights for which driving is not a possibility. Like transcontinental trips. That may make flying appear safer since flights over oceans are more dangerous since there arent as many emergency landing opportunities.
That's why I used relative language such as "as morally superior as they evidently believe"
