For reference, 138% of the FPL in 2016 was $16,394. She was laid off in May (let's she got one pay check), meaning that if she was making $44,000 or more, she would not be eligible. After 10 years on the job, it seems likely that she would be making that much.
The first firm to make an HIV vaccine will print money selling to various NGO and world governments so I think there's plenty of incentive to develop one.

HIV is a different animal from most viruses since it targets the immune cells, the very thing that allows vaccines to work, so I imagine its a lot more complicated than other vaccines to develop.
I've been fascinated by this forever. It seems like it's mostly for EE and ME people though? Are you working in Marine Science?
These seem to define writing to mean only things with which you can write sentences, which is fair enough, but excludes earlier use of symbols for counting (of taxes!). I have in mind things like [1], or this from [2]:

"The original Sumerian writing system derives from a system of clay tokens used to represent commodities. By the end of the 4th millennium BC, this had evolved into a method of keeping accounts, using a round-shaped stylus impressed into soft clay at different angles for recording numbers. This was gradually augmented with pictographic writing by using a sharp stylus to indicate what was being counted. Round-stylus and sharp-stylus writing were gradually replaced around 2700–2500 BC by writing using a wedge-shaped stylus (hence the term cuneiform), at first only for logograms, but developed to include phonetic elements by the 29th century BC. About 2600 BC, cuneiform began to represent syllables of the Sumerian language."

There's just so much to listen to besides music.
If you want to understand you need to include another important ingredient, "open-source". This is what caused it show up on HN results.
I run a recording label that publishes Drum&Bass music (RuffAndTuffRecordings.Com), (Drum & Bass music currently is known as one of the loudest engineered music genres put out on the block right now). I went the other way in terms of our releases... Our music is only as loud as it needs to be. If a listener wants it louder, they can simply turn up the volume.

Going to nights where these super-compressed tracks are often played at unimaginable volume levels, You must wear ear plugs, otherwise you're guaranteed to go deaf.

When music is compressed, dynamic range is lost, and the actual elements in each track like bass and ambient sounds are limited in how they can create a mood in a track. These loud tracks are impressive in terms of grabbing attention, but over time they create fatigue for listeners, and people tend to not want to listen to additional music after a few loud tracks.

There is a high price to pay for continuing down the path of loudness with music.

The main driver for ending the race in music should be doing whats right, music should have dynamic range as the main focal points of audio engineering. Until that gets sorted out, bring your ear plugs.
"At risk of being snarky, I'm not sure 'engineering company' is the right moniker. They're an R&D shop ..."

Well, with the advent of internet and better computers I guess producing music and distributing it became so much cheaper and faster the price dropped.

Since also many (like me) pirated their way in their teens I never purchased many cds. I got an mp3 early from japan with 512mb of disk space. This was huge, all my classmates had like 128mb or less.

It was clear for me anyway that I would never pay a lot for the music because there was simply no reason to. I haven't really experienced the time where it was a norm to spend a lot of money on cds.

I am 29 and this kind of experience you have seems to become more and more uncommon as time passes ;)

It's salient to the topic because the blog post title implies a recent shift in the scientific zeitgeist. You cherry-picked three examples from the deep past. And look at your random examples: not a single physics article, and at least half of the 'new models' are in fields where so very little is known anyways that a new model is a low bar.

I won't say science is as dogmatic as religion, but it's far far more dogmatic than most practicing scientists would like to admit, which itself is more so than the 'lay person' or policymaker realizes.

What's your problem?
Of course. Although I'd say it differently: pre-state people probably practiced some amount of farming, and niche-creation. But what we call a primitive state is precisely the superstructure needed to gather lots of them and make them farm for your benefit.

And to make sure it worked to your benefit (as the king) it was important that they farmed a limited number of things which were easy to keep track of, and easy to transport, and hence easy to tax. Like wheat or barley or rice, which you can inspect any time, and which ripens on a predictable date, on which your soldiers can show up to collect the rent. (And unlike potatoes.)
YNAB. It works well, and they added in the ability to use Google accounts to log in. So I added my wife not by sharing the username/password, but by logging in on her computer once, and adding her Google account.

If you want simple, it is that. My only issue is the inability to have multiple currencies as my wife is from Argentina and I'd like to, more easily, track assets in both USD and ARS. Right now that requires a manual conversion (but the rate is unstable) or using two budgets (the approach I've used) which is tedious, but we don't do much with ARS so it's not a real hurdle.
Hi,

I have worked with startups only till now. Innovation and exploring uncharted territories in tech and product is my fuel and startups are the right place for it. I quite liked the product and will be obliged to contribute to it. I am working as Lead mobile application developer at Piggy | Ycombinator ( PIGGY S17). I am alone handling all over responsibility of Piggy android app. With my experience i am capable of developing products right from scratch to deployment, analyze metrics and improve the product. I have always worked closely with product manager, CTO and stretched my knowledge other than tech too.
I am looking for a change and open for Remote/Full time roles.

They tried to get us to take Cornell notes back in high school. I think they can work for some people, but I found that it created too much mental overhead. Seemed to turn me into more of a recording device than a mind comprehending a lecture. The note-taking style seems to assume a certain format of lecture, and if a teacher deviates from that then it can be more confusing than simply taking notes without the extra columns and cells.

That said, I think it's a good idea, but might not be for everyone. Kind of like how there are different apps like Notion, Trello, Quip, OneNote, etc., and while Notion works for a lot of people, some people benefit more from Trello's boards and cards.

Compiler courses do spend way too much time on parsing, but there is real value in learning it. An LR(k) or LL(k) grammar is guaranteed to be unambiguous, so knowing how to construct one is the best way to design a language, even if parser generators are rarely used to actually build parsers. Furthermore, the industry standard to describe the syntax of a programming language is some form of BNF grammar, with semantics usually given by prose explanations of the operational semantics for every production in the grammar.

> starting with the fact that if you're new at this you probably don't know assembly

Most university curricula put assembly programming at a sophomore-level course (generally as part of an intro to computer architecture course), while compilers are a senior-level course. As a result, most compiler courses will assume a background knowledge of assembly.

Devil's advocate: That's exactly what patents are for though. Someone had a really good idea, built it, and someone else came along and said "that's a really great idea, I'm going to do that too." We, as technologists, keep asserting that ideas have value, until it's an idea we really want.

First Rule of Vim Club: Don't talk about Vim Club.
That's correct. Hopefully the firmware components it is based upon will support newer platforms in the future. From my understanding that mostly depends on the hardware vendors, which seem to close their solutions, instead of opening them.

Anyway, for secure communication (email, IRC, Jabber etc) this hardware will suffice with the current specification.

Disclaimer: I work with Nitrokey.
As a sysadmin, not a programmer, what I found helpful for learning Vim was not to try something new each day, but to find one or two commands that were valuable enough that I would at least open Vim somewhat regularly. The two that did it for me are delete line (dd), and change inner word (ciw), both extremely helpful for config file editing, especially when combined with repeat command (.)

After learning these first simple commands, it was enough to get me to open Vim at least a few times a day, which then motivated me to start learning more of the commands and it just snowballed along. I still only know probably 25% of Vim, but I feel incredibly comfortable in it now and rarely run into trouble when doing beginner to intermediate editing tasks.
There are a bunch of different human writing systems. All of them are weird because they were invented by humans, most of them are very weird indeed because they were invented by humans a long time ago and then gradually mutated.

The Latin system is the one you're using here. It's very popular. Most humans in the integrated tribes are somewhat familiar with it‡. It has twenty six "letters" and then twenty six more "capital letters" which look different but mean almost the same thing for some reason, and then a bunch more symbols that aren't quite letters although some (apostrophe, ampersand) have a better claim than others. But other popular systems include Han, which has a shitload of logograms, and Cyrillic and Greek which have different letters than Latin and different rules about how letters work.

Anyway, the people who invented DNS only or primarily used the Latin system and they weren't much into capital letters. So, their system doesn't treat capital letters as different and only has one set of twenty six Latin letters, ten digits, a dash and an underscore for some reason.

But, lots of people who do NOT have Latin as the primary or only writing system found this annoying to work with. They wanted to use their writing system with DNS especially once the Web came along and popularized the Internet.

Punycode is a way to use some reserved nonsense-looking Latin text in any DNS label to mean that actually this DNS name should be displayed as some Unicode text. Unicode encodes all popular human writing systems (and lots of unpopular ones) fairly well, so this sorts the problem out. Specifically Punycode reserves Latin names that start xn-- for this purpose. By only caring about display this avoids changing anything in the technical underpinnings. Only user-facing code needed to change, every other layer is unaltered.

The rules about IDNs say that a registry (such as .com) should have rules to ensure the names in that registry are unambigous and meaningful. But in practice the purpose of the .com registry in particular is to make as much money as possible regardless of the consequences. So you can register any name you please and they won't stop you even if it's deliberately confusing.

‡ None of the extant unintegrated tribes have writing. This probably doesn't mean anything important.

My first thought on reading this article is that it would encourage using Trade Secret law to protect these inventive creations rather than Patent law. One intended effect of patent law is that the inventions would become free to use by anyone after the patent expires. Trade secrets can go on forever, e.g. the formula for Coca Cola.

> Speaking of lights, are there no laws in the US about how bright headlights can be?

See also bicyclists.

There is a general saying that there are two types of lighting: those that allow you to see, and those that allow to be seen. In most urban areas with street lamps, one simply needs to be seen. Too many of my fellow pedallers do not seem to understand this distinction, and do not realize that more lumens does not always been better: at some point you're simply blinding people, and they can no longer tell where you are.

A moderately (500 lm?) bright blinking light, with a simple on-off, non-random pattern seems to be best IMHO.
> switch-branch-in-place is seen as some kind of flaw

You're conflating two separate concepts:

1. Git's default of commingled repo and and working/checkout directory

2. Switch-in-place workflow encouraged by #1

Fossil doesn't do #1, but that doesn't prevent switch-in-place or even discourage it. The hard separation of repo and checkout in Fossil merely encourages multiple separate long-lived checkouts.

A common example is having one checkout directory for the active development branch (e.g. "trunk" or "master") and one for the latest stable release version of the software. A customer calls while you're working on new features, and their problem doesn't replicate with the development version, so you switch to the release checkout to reproduce the problem they're having against the latest stable code. When the call ends, you "cd -" to get back to work on the development branch, having confirmed that the fix is already done and will appear in the next release.

Another example is having one checkout for a feature development branch you're working on solo and one for the team's main development branch. You start work from the team's working branch, realize you need a feature branch to avoid disturbing the rest of the team, so you check your initial work in on that branch, open a checkout of that new branch in a separate directory and continue work there so you can switch back to the team's working branch with a quick cd if something comes up. Another team member might send you a message about a change needed on the main working branch that you're best suited to handle: you don't want to disturb your personal feature branch with the work by switching that checkout in place to the other branch, so you cd over to the team branch checkout, do the work there, cd back, and probably merge the fix up into your feature branch so you can work with the fix in place there, too.

These are just two common reasons why it can be useful to have multiple long-lived checkouts which you switch among with "cd" rather than invalidate build artifacts multiple times in a workday when switching versions.

Git can give you multiple long-lived working checkouts via git-worktree, but according to the Internets it has several well-known problems. Not being a daily Git user, I'm not able to tell you whether this is still true, just that it apparently has been true up to some point in the past.

Since no one is telling me those issues with git-worktree are all now fixed, it remains a valid point of comparison in the fossil-v-git article.
Let me just leave this here before the headline-readers start to scrutinize a "phantom decision".
