Agreed, and I'm not necessarily defending this practice, just saying that it is, in fact, being done.

One of the RasPi-based devices I saw being assembled was actually some kind of medical device that will presumably have to be FDA-certified. It was going into a very nice enclosure, with top-grade plastics and other materials, and they were building a (literal) ton of them. In principle I'm sure that can be done successfully, but I have to wonder if it'll really save the company that much time or money.
>10% above the rest of the state to move to the middle of nowhere obviously wasn't enough. When a company says they can't find anyone to hire, what they really mean most of the time is "we can't find anyone to hire for the mostly arbitrary price we want to hire them at."

If my salary would be doubled tomorrow, there's nowhere in the continental United States I wouldn't move to. Given 100mbps+ internet of course, but that does cover anywhere that could double a software engineer's salary. If you're a software company without good internet, it might be time to move.

A 10% raise isn't worth leaving for in my opinion, if you are happy with your job. Between moving and simply leaving a work environment where you understand the expectations, 10% doesn't cut it.
I imagine the downvoting is due to your erroneous projection of the customs of your locale to the entire larger world. Even narrowly considered, your links don’t really support your point of view (eg there are numerous shared pedestrian/bicycle paths in California, children are allowed to cycle on sidewalks in California, etc).
I have a relative who is a Teamster and pays $16k in Union dues a year. He said the math on his benefits only works out for him if he works for more than 15 years in the same position. Obviously different for different unions, but the vast majority of benefits in most unions go to those with seniority.
I'm saying that once you know what the "joy" in "joy plot" refers to, you can't unsee that. And that every time you see the term "joy plot" you're going to be aware of that.

No, that isn't "literal" harm in the sense of violence. But it's unpleasant. And it's not just my personal taste, but clearly that of others or it would never have been brought up.

So that's the empathy to show: for people who think using a historical reference that shows humanity at a shameful low point is inappropriate for modern technical terminology. For modern people in general, not specific holocaust victims or their descendents.

That it's not an "edgy joke", it's just inappropriate. So let's try to be decent understanding people and call it something better, shall we?
Shameless plug but I've also written a language (murex) for shell scripting which can be used for this too:

open test.json -> [ countries ]
open test.json -> [[ /countries/0 ]]
open test.json -> [ countries ] -> [ 0 2 ]

Single brackets only return the next level deep but can retrieve multiple items (and negative integers to count from the end of an array). Double brackets are to specify a path. So [[/foo/bar]] is literally the same as [foo]->[bar]

Lastly the 4th example:

open test.json -> [ countries ] -> foreach c { echo $c[name] }

Unfortunately this one doesn't output it in JSON. If you needed that you could chain another command to reformat it:

open test.json -> [ countries ] -> foreach c { echo $c[name] } -> cast str -> format json

This works because murex can auto-convert between lists, JSON, YAML, CSV and a few other structured formats. However it's fair to say it is a lot more verbose than jsonnet and jql in that last example.

Github repo: https://github.com/lmorg/murex

I've been using this as my primary shell for a few years now and, like yourself, I've never bothered to learn jq because of that.

NB all of the above example are running from inside the murex interactive command line (like bash). If you wanted to run it like jq/jql then you'd need to do the same sort of thing as bash:

murex -c 'open test.json -> [ countries ]'

OK, but TFA title is "How much innate knowledge can the genome encode?".

So is the answer that we have no clue? Or that it's a meaningless question? Given that we don't know the computational model, I mean.

To me the interesting question is how much life memory could be encoded in the genome. Maybe top points from human evolution? Or nothing more than really simple basic stuff?

Leaving aside how it might get stored in the germline, and later accessed.

The submitted title ('“No evidence” that tax incentives given to companies increased economic growth') broke the site guidelines, which say: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

Cherry-picking the detail you think is most important from an article is a form of editorializing. If you want to say what you think is important about an article, do not do so by cherry-picking a detail to put in the title. Instead, post it is a comment in the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Edit: on top of that, it looks like the article is behind a hard paywall, so no one can actually read it. That means the thread is reacting mostly to the title, and mostly to the heavily editorialized title before we changed it. That isn't nearly enough information for a substantive discussion. Please don't make submissions like that to HN.

Edit 2: scratch that last point—there's a link to the paper downthread.
As the old saying goes. If the project is not economically viable then you get out of the project building business and get into the selling products/service/labor to the government business. You make more money selling the products/services/labor to the government than you would ever make actually building and owning the asset outright.

Which is funny because in countries that have high levels of corruption (Russia), you see those countries building the most expensive roads, stadiums and bridges in the world. More money spent doesn't mean a better road to say the least.
I joined Google at the age of 50. Just send a resume. They are not trying to surprise you and want you to do your best. Consequently, not only do they tell you what to expect from the interview process, the recruiter will send you a PDF that talks through what to expect along with a reading list you can use to prepare. (For example: cracking the coding interview and CLRS are on it.)

That said, I just went in cold. If you've been coding and are current in one of the 3 big interview languages (C++/Java/Python), and if you still understand your undergraduate level algorithms course and the corresponding vocabulary, then you know what you need to know.

Side note: A thing that no one told me but that I had to figure out on my own is that your technical writing skills are one of the most important skills to doing well at google. It was unironically said to me that the highest reward/effort one can do at Google is to write documents. The person who said it was correct about that IMO.
MUST READ: Major news outlet CNN has touted Bitcoin $BTC▲1.23% as the “star investment” of the last decade and according to a recent report by Bank of America Securities, if you invested $1 in bitcoin at the start of the last decade, it would now be worth more than $90,000. I even made more than that in the space of 2 weeks and I am still making huge profits daily that I can't even disclose on here. If you do not have the time or adequate knowledge about how bitcoin investments work, it is advisable that you hire an expert. I used the services of this professional. I contacted them via email at,..
( Digitalassetsconsultancy@ h o t m a i l DOT com ) after i saw great reviews by other individuals online and since then my life's changed for good. Your time is as precious as your money so use professionals wisely to build wealth without sacrificing your time. You can contact them via their email also for retrieval of lost/stolen bitcoin wallets, for bitcoin mining investments, and trading signals. You can thank me later!
Agreed. Even though Google patents like crazy, I don't recall hearing very much about them suing other people using patents.

What they're doing is trying to make it so that nobody can sue Google over something Google is doing using patents, because Google already patented it.
> return the good or service, and then be assured of a refund from an unknown and untrusted actor

Escrow systems are inherently a second layer atop a currency. The "issuing authority" of a currency does not engage in such dealings with the users of the currency; these arrangements are made by the seller (or a palatable third party on the seller's behalf) or by the buyer (or a third party contracted by the seller, e.g. a credit card company).

With the "un-named payment system", escrow is entirely possible and has been successfully set up in many instances, most notably on popular darknet markets. A type of protocol-layer escrow is also possible, by the way, through the use of multi-signature transactions.

This is exactly what the OP article is proposing to build, and what these comments are discussing.

SPV and other "light" wallets that remain cryptographically verifiable and decentralized without needing a constant, high-bandwidth connection exist and are, in fact, the default option for most people.

> Hard to justify going to the trouble of encrypting your backup. 10 years from now, it might be as good as plain text.

Realistically, any archive is going to have to re-record data to stay ahead of age and equipment becoming obsolete. I've heard the lifetime for the physical media of tape backups is in the 10-30 year range.

Updating the encryption isn't a big deal once you're already rewriting everything.

When faced with questions like these, I'm reminded of Richard Feynman and the question "What do you care what other people think?"

It seems we've reached a point where we allow our insecurities drive our actions more than anything else.

The problem is that we do not deal with our insecurities at all - they aren't even seen as a problem to fix, but something we just live with. They are not tested, because the risks are deemed too great.

Some of the greatest things in life come from damning those insecurities and just fucking doing [X].

Any insight as to why they would do that? As far as I'm aware Spotify has no interest in selling hardware of their own, and Sonos isn't competing with them on the streaming front.
Unions are not just there to protect people close to poverty wages or who work in potentially deadly conditions. Sure, as a software engineer you are pretty well off to begin with, but there is also the question of fairness - how much of the company's success are workers actually reaping? Are they really getting a fair share of the fruits of their labor? The union should help with that, if nothing else.
i think this oversimplification may obfuscate the issue in a way that's a little misleading. in reality, the two choices are not only taking a tax hit or reinvesting in the business. there are a pretty wide array of tax avoidance schemes that are utilized in the united states.

if my corporate tax rate is low, but personal tax rate is high, as in your example. i may choose to invest in a SEP, or a deferred compensation plan, kicking the taxes down the road. potentially, because of the estate tax laws, my heirs may inherit these investments with no tax penalty due to step up basis rules.

if you were making a million dollars a year in profit, you probably wouldn't need ordinary income anyway. there are so many different types of credit vehicles you could leverage at a lower interest rate than the tax rate. though i suppose, arguably this is a type of economic growth. it grows profit in the financial services industry.

Assuming the universe is infinite in some sense. Otherwise the exponential growth has to stop at some point. So base your cryptography around computational power beyond physical limits and you are safe.
One thing I see as a benefit is that you can generate unique looking web pages that aren't nearly as bulky as one gets by using most of the popular CRMs out there. I guess that's actually two things. But they are really good things to have together.

My interpretation is that just as with words that in a different order may mean different things, genes expressing in a different order or at different times could have radically different effects.

The simplified cartoon image that is associated with DNA, where phenotypes are directly connecting to specific genes - i.e. this mutation makes you smart, or that mutation causes cancer - is not at all how biology works.
That's false. Cohen was not the source of the fraudulent claims, rather he was the subject:

IIRC, the more vital & boring an industry is, the more likely that it still has VMS systems hanging around. The German post office & rail system were very large users until at least fairly recently.

There was enough interest in VMS such that HP spun off development to a startup near the old DEC HQ outside Boston, who are also working on the port to modern x86-64 hw.

Ah, apparently first boot on x86 has occured:

> All three of these are provided, I don't have a union.

You said it right, they are provided. In Europe they are not provided: they are your right and it cannot be taken away by your employer. Also an anecdote doesn't invalidate something that is true for a vast majority of the american workforce. But even if it was just a single person, it would still be a tragedy and a problem to solve.
Hot shots can make up to 40 grand in one season. Some of the fire fighters at your local station could be hot shots but they might not be as well.

For the uninitiated, the World Trade Organization is run by its member governments. Unlike FIFA, IOC, and ICANN, it does not sell a product to consumers. It facilitates the production of laws and agreements between member states. If you buy Bueno de Mesquita's selectorate theory, the WTO has a very small set of residents, which is identical to the selectorate and the winning coalition. The FIFA, IOC, and ICANN have a very large set of residents, a very small selectorate, and a very secure winning coalition, which is a recipe for corruption.
So yeah, your agenda is not to learn or discuss but to push falsified fringe theories, that were exhaustively discussed until the eighties, when better data ruled them out...
It's because no one wants to have these philosophical arguments about whether making an issue significantly "worse" constitutes causation.

Regardless of the side you fall on, making something significantly worse is still a problem to be solved.
That's a leading question. Instead, why don't you answer this question: Why did the majority say it decided the way it did? Show that you understand both sides of the issue and aren't simply another guy on the Internet raging against CU.

I agree Kurzweil's hypothesis is well known... within techie/Silicon Valley circles, somewhat like the Singularity -- a related concept -- is common in those circles as well. Regardless, there's no particular weight to Kurzweil's hypothesis, tantalizing as it may seem, and it's not reasonable in my opinion to use it as a measuring stick of other hypotheses as if Kurzweil was a proven and acknowledged authority on this topic.

Likewise, if someone said "human aging and death are unavoidable" this wouldn't be bold just because Kurzweil has written a lot about immortality.
There was a neural net popularity surge in the late 80s, early 90s. Of course, the hardware wasn't there yet to be able to deliver on the promises. I was in a Goodwill book section about a year ago and there were a couple of NN books from that era on sale for $3, one titled "Apprentices of Wonder: Inside the Neural Network Revolution" from 1990 and the other was for programmers and included C code for a NN to predict the stock market from 1989. Anyway, that all had died out by about '92 or '93 and NNs were a pretty dead academic topic until about 2005 or so when they figured out that GPUs could be used to accelerate them.

There is no absolute, I never meant to imply that. What I really advocate against is throwing money in the bin without asking what they need and if that's food, get them high quality food. If that's money for x, help them out with money.

Really though, asking part and having a conservation is more important. I was giving addiction as merely an example because I thought people here would relate to it more. I didn't mean to imply all homeless people are addicted. It depends on your location. If they tell you the money is needed for supplying their addiction, you don't stop and move on. No, you ask about it more and if there is a chance, you can get them help at an addiction centre. I am not a medical expert that can judge whether the drugs will have a therapeutic or negative effect on them. If I was, I might help them out with drugs. This is why you need free [1][2]drug maintenance centres where they can safely get quality drugs and fight against their addiction.

Here, the homeless kids will ask you for money and if you give them that, it won't help them. It will go towards funding a business that relies on exploiting, kidnapping and disabling kids to beg in the streets. They won't get any high quality food from it or nice comfy blanket.

Giving money opposed to asking them for what they need and supplying it increases the risk area for harm and it's inevitably a moral burden as well if someone thinks they are fueling addiction when they might not be, it's hard to know

It's a two way transaction. I wouldn't wanna encourage child exploitation business and if I unknowingly did it, that might stop me from getting involved next time. Both people need a satisfactory result. Sitting with the kid while they finish eating meal and playing with toys I brought is a better outcome than uncertainty.

Giving money is unknowingly restricting

You might handout 20 bucks but the supplies they should get may cost a dollar over it. They would be forced to get cheaper one which may or may not be up to the standards.

People are not good at estimating how much they would need upfront. It's not something limited to homeless people. Sorry, if I implied that.

Taking out bigger action like opening a charity and build awareness regarding the problem is better but not always an immediate option, sadly.

The #1 problem in most cities is too many people are making too much money and it’s driving housing prices through the roof.

The demand for skilled labor is astronomical. I would not call that absolute extreme power of capital over labor.

It's a very very interesting question. Personally I believe that "automaton" is almost the opposite of "being". But that's just me, not science or other authority. Certainly, somewhere between virus and human something comes into being (no pun intended.) I don't know of any non-metaphysical argument that we couldn't find some other way to create non-biological general AI.

I think we could genetically engineer human DNA to create wetware G"A"I but I put the "artificial" in quotes to indicate that I'm not saying whether that would count as AI or not. I know of a few efforts to create "Daleks" out of human brain organoids, but I don't think anyone has gone beyond the speculative/hype stage with it so far.
Don't we pay for streets though, indirectly through municipal taxes or what not ?

That's definitely true if you've bet on consumption increases and preempted meeting that demand, but milk prices are pretty volatile, jumping +/- $4/cwt throughout the year, which makes me think that COGs are padded enough to give you plenty of time to react.

For comparison, red meat consumption in the US has fallen 15% in the last 10 years and Tyson stock$ is near it's 5 year high.
