Status symbols and shiny toys aren't the only reason to want a job, unless you consider wanting a house large enough for each kid to have their own room a status symbol (rather than a basic improvement in living conditions). Or living in a big city with lots of cultural events (and compatible mates) but an expensive housing market. The biggest reason is that as long as you're dependent on UBI or other forms of welfare, you are dependent on the goodwill of the government and your fellow citizens, none of which are guaranteed indefinitely even in a liberal democracy. To be truly and completely "free", you need economic freedom too.

That's not an argument against UBI - I mostly agree with your analysis and solution - but I wouldn't be so dismissive of individuals' desire to improve their lives directly. It's not "greed" to want some control over your living standards and situation.
Based on the op's description, it doesn't seem like this particular FB employee minded those decisions that much. In fact, they sounded pretty enthusiastic about them.
I'm still waiting for mine, it seems like the most viable option for someone who wants to develop for armv8 Linux. I had the original PineBook and found it disappointing, how would the PineBook compare to, say, a MacBook Air?
it's totally full of unwritten assumptions and the same header is usually parsed in several places slightly differently. it's a spooky action at a distance playground.
How to Authenticate with Google Oauth in Electron
I don't know of a scenario where I would say a relationship is unethical if consent is satisfied. What scenario do you have in mind?
I wish Apple added iMessage as a service to make 2FA more secure.
Absolutely, a state-level opponent could get up to some shenanigans though I would argue that a state has much easier methods to go cracking into my Visa card. My threat model doesn’t include nation states targeting me specifically because, simply, if one comes after me I am screwed anyway.

As for email being unencrypted, I think most of it now is encrypted during transit (thanks to the Big Two providers knocking points off a spam score if a message does come via TLS) and even if it weren’t the password is also not known so the second factor is not useful. For example, I just tried to log in to chase.com and the code they emailed me at 1752 MST is 067315.

If I’ve been phished so hard that posting this is useful, again I’m screwed.
I think it's more likely the rationale was to support a local business, thus building a stronger community for their employees to live in, thus allowing them to be more attractive to prospective employees. Maybe they also thought it'd increase the chance that you'd apply there.
What happens if you port to Google voice, can you no longer access your account?
Go to Costco, Living Spaces, or a myriad of other non-seedy stores and get a mattress for half the price.
Sadly, providers seem to be going the other way. I had a service try to bully me into disabling TOTP in favor of SMS 2FA this week.
> Maybe he was the prey.

Yeah maybe. She's the one who wound up being abandoned with a kid though.

> You cannot refuse to pay child support, it's one option you do not have. Play hard ball in response to stuff etc maybe, but you will pay in the end.

Which is what he did. Despite being filthy rich. Then he continued to threaten her visitation rights, screw around with his visitations.

> She should have named her price upfront. All consensual and he is a d*ck and a moron in a sense, as a billionaire, he could have used his pocket change and made her happy $$ wise. Now he gets bad press.

This is the type of comment I was talking about. This just seems dismissive of the cruelty of this situation and deeply lacking in empathy for 3 people in a lousy spot.
there is some research out there that suggests you may live longer if you can actually pull this off.
The Instantly Gratifying Economics of Check-Cashing Businesses
The trick is that there are a bunch of mattress companies on Amazon selling really cheap foam mattresses (~200$) that are basically the same as Casper. But Casper jammed a ton of money into branding and marketing, so probably has great margins on their products. Foam mattresses as a product are getting extremely cheap and the quality is really not bad. I have a cheap one and honestly like sleeping on it more than 1200$ spring bed I had.
I don't think a power differential in itself invalidates consent. In your example I would say the scenario of an arrest is inherently coercive. But this is just quibbling over semantics.
That's a weighed average with, presumably, hand-chosen coefficients to make a nice visual effect. I fail to see how these numbers are "magic." How would you produce this effect without numbers?
Plugged in my office address (downtown SF) and my home address (san jose) on google maps and looked at all the transit and drive routes. It takes roughly that long to do it for real, though I make an effort to avoid doing it much.

It was faster when I lived in Sunnyvale, but not much faster.
> Can you give me an example of a politician who is not populist?

One example that comes to mind is states with both a president and prime minister, and the president is meant to remain somewhat outside the political fray.
Wild guess but this could be related to stress. Specifically, the closer you can get to stoic and indifferent to the 'successes' of other people, the more content you are likely to be.

Without the corrosive influence of social media, you might also be more likely to live a more authentic life that you find personally meaningful.

That said, I doubt everyone has the same relationship with social media that I had. I found myself influenced by it even in small doses, and it always felt like it was detracting from my wellbeing. Going cold turkey ended up being a life-changing decision for me and I wouldn't dream of going back.

I suspect they'd start with their server farms, just as Amazon is doing with its own ARM AWS instances based on the Graviton SOC it bought when it acquired Annapurna. Amazon is on record saying they are going to migrate their internal services like ELB over to ARM.
Young people are in fact growing up with more opportunity than anyone in the history of the world.

> unemployment for young people is about double the national average

18-19 has 12% unemployment, 20-24 has 6%, and 25-34 has 4%.

This is how it works. That 18 year old will one day be that 25 year old with 96% odds of employment.

> Student debt

That does suck. I would advise young people to be avoid large educational debt. Rising education costs are unfortunately a natural of free money, but an capital-efficient education is still possible.

Note that education debt -- while high -- still pales in regards to housing debt.

> you kids are paying for it by inheriting trillions upon trillions in Medicare bills

Indeed a problem. Same with Social Security.

> [Your parents and grandparents] grew up in a world so unbelievably different from your own, that they couldn’t possibly understand what things are like for you...They don’t know what it’s like to watch entire career paths suddenly disappear or become far less desirable

Hardly. My grandparents watch farming jobs disappear in the largest labor shift in the history of the world.

> what a web of defensive treaties led to

Ironically, none of the countries in WWI were actually obliged to enter into the war by virtue of their treaties.

The Triple Alliance didn't kick in unless one of the parties was "without direct provocation on their part, [...] attacked or [...] engaged in a war with two or more Great Powers nonsignatory to the present treaty" (or Italy attacked by France alone). But France and Britain declared war after Germany did, so the "two or more" doesn't kick in. Not to mention that the "direct provocation" is an ample loophole for anyone wanting to wriggle out of the treaty (as Italy, in fact did).

The Triple Entente wasn't a single treaty. The Franco-Russian Alliance was the strongest, requiring France and Russia to attack Germany should Germany attack one of them or merely mobilize in response to any of the Triple Alliance mobilizing. But again, this is a defensive trigger, and Russia mobilized before Germany did [1], so the clause didn't kick in. The Anglo-French Entente was not backed by any military alliance treaty, nor was the Anglo-Russian Entente. The Treaty of London merely guaranteed Belgian neutrality, and did not oblige anyone to enter into war against someone who violated Belgian neutrality.

For extra irony, in WWII, Britain and France went to war against Germany in defense of Poland, with whom they did not have a binding defensive treaty, but not in defense of Czechoslovakia, with whom France did.

[1] We know now that Germany actually decided its full mobilization before Russia did, but held back on announcing it just long enough to have the Russian mobilization announce first. In the event, France actually did not mobilize until after Germany mobilized against it, the German military having convinced Kaiser Wilhelm that mobilizing against only Russia was impossible.
Billionaires should give up their money once per century, IMO.
I don’t remember which SV persona said it..probably Reid Hoffman, iirc..that the best way to make $$ is to offer something that allows the public to practice one of the seven deadly sins.

Gluttony has always been profitable. Having said that, I am a fan.

I loathe marketing BS like this. No, you’re not from the future, you pretentious twats.

If you have a good idea, let it stand on its own merit, don’t dress it up with manipulative language.

The solution though is escrow. Upon agreement, you have them wire the money to an escrow agent. If they back out, the escrow goes to you. There's no need for follow-on lawyering. (And no, no escrow agent worthwhile is going to be pressured easily into giving a large corporation their $100k back).
I bought a queen at Costco this year for $599.
I am pretty sure this is how they got Bezos' texts. All you need to do is register a CLEC and then you can get your official hookup to SS7. My experience isn't with messaging but I'd imagine if you bid* to deliver messages to a certain area much lower than other carriers, you can target people.

* Bidding doesn't happen in real time, but you can tell carriers your "rates" so to speak.
maybe those rules shouldn’t apply to anyone
That's exactly what they did in the movie Gattica- it's hard but seems totally possible. I'd rather have multiple revokable keys.
How a self-attention layer can learn convolutional filters?
> How would you produce this effect without numbers?

That's not what 'magic numbers' means.

The idea is that you factor out the number into named variables so they don't appear unnamed in the body of expressions.
Why sad? someone has to have the smallest

Would it be less sad if it was Verizon?
This is fairly common in M&A and is called a "reverse termination or reverse breakup fee".
In addition to the direct cost of having a deal fall through, you can imagine other damages from having a major competitor scrutinize your books.

Some notable reverse break up fees include:
* a 6 Billion dollar fee AT&T incurred for failing to complete a purchase of T-mobile.
* A 10 Billion fee (avoided) if Verizon backed out of buying Vodafone's stake in Verizon.
I don't think that has ever been true, and it's not true now. So maybe check again.
Nintendo has singlehandedly made more consoles than games :)
It's 2020, any new hardware project should come with a strong burden of responsibility when it comes to the environmental impact of what you're making. Where are you sourcing the various components used in your product? Are they recycled, or extracted from the earth? How much CO2 is your manufacturing process emitting? Will you take back the hardware from your customers in order to properly recycle it when they don't want it anymore? and so on.

Screwing the environment further to make shiny toys that will be thrown in the garbage a few months/years later is not something we should be doing more of. When it's for something like a medical device, it's one thing. When it's for videogames that can run on any general purpose computer, it's another.

If there's any interesting work in that space, would love to hear about it.
the whole point of these spin-offs is that the majority of them will not survive. there are a lot of ideas around aging and it’s really easy to get carried away to the point we throw everything against a wall and see what sticks.
We bought a Zinus mattress recently. $260 for a queen size and pretty great so far.
This is a really great story! The only upsetting thing is that they didn't revisit the bonus amount at the end, so I had to do the math:

(50 days - (May 24 - May 8)) * $200,000 = $6,800,000

So it definitely seems like they maxed out the $5m bonus! Nice!
I've never had anyone in my family with dementia, alzheimers, etc., but as I'm approach 50 I'm finding that there are times that I know that I know the word for something, but I can't recall what the word is without a lot of effort (and sometimes a google search). I haven't bothered to look up if that is common, mostly because I don't want to find out that it is common - but only for people that are experiencing early-onset something.

I don't know, all I know is I can't receive BoA 2FA SMS on my Google Voice number. This is what BoA says:

>You are consenting to be contacted at the phone number selected for the purpose of receiving an authorization code. If you selected text message, Wireless and text message fees may apply from your carrier.
Supported carriers include: Alltel, AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, U.S Cellular and Verizon Wireless.

Although I just remembered this person on Hacker News replied to me 1+ year ago that their Google Voice number does work with BoA 2FA SMS, so maybe it's just my specific GV phone number?

It's an interesting Rorschach test. I can see all kinds of things going on here, or nothing at all. The expression on the face of the nearest woman has a serious "not amused" vibe to it no matter how I try to look at the situation though.
So? Is the point you're making that you won't be the highest paid employee in a company?

Your TC is tied to your prior TC, which is tied to your internships and college, which is tied to your high school performance. Might as well take it down to kindergarten.

If you're not a child prodigy, then you won't be the most talented, highest-paid employee.

I'll never understand this mindset.
Perceptions need not be strictly subjective.

There's the notion of where good conversations are found, or what sources are referenced by external sources, or what links where will result in more traffic (or conversions) to linked sites / services.

There's metrics such as MAU and user time-on-site.

As dang noted in another recent comment, one of HN's scarcest commodities is its front-page slots. As with attention and time/day, that's an absolutely rivalrous good, and one which decreases comparatively as the site increases in size and volume -- more users means more competition for the 30 front-page slots per user.

And if more stories rotate through those slots, there will be either less time per story, or a restricted exposure (e.g., stories presented to only a subset of readers), or both. (I'm not sure what HN's specific mechanics are here, though I believe it's a mix of both.)

All media tend to fall in quality with size. See Dwight MacDonald's 1953 classic "A Theory of Mass Culture" (https://is.muni.cz/el/1421/jaro2008/ESB032/um/5136660/MacDon...).

(Also apparently "Masscult and Midcult", which I've only just run across and have not yet read: http://xroads.virginia.edu/~DRBR/macdonald.pdf)
They won't, it's expensive and way less profitable than just making a game for one of the big platforms. It also requires a whole different group of people with different skills than a normal publisher has. The only reason to make your own special console is if you have a) a weird niche that you can charge enough to make up for the losses b) have some odd idea you really want to explore (I think this is the main reason Panic is doing this, they had a neat idea for it and figured they had enough of (a) that they could make money doing it) or c) it's going to be cheap and mass market though this still requires a bit of (a).

> And then there are browsers that have internal stub resolver.

You mean internal caching resolver? Every application has an internal stub resolver, even if it's just using getaddrinfo, which builds and sends DNS packets to the recursive, caching resolvers specified by /etc/resolv.conf or equivalent system setting. But getaddrinfo is blocking, and various non-portable extensions (e.g. glibc getaddrinfo_a, OpenBSD getaddrinfo_async) are integration headaches, so it's common for many applications to include their own async stub resolver. What sucks is if an internal stub resolver doesn't obey the system settings.
Saying that "every man, woman and child" would be lining up is a straw man also. "Every man, woman and child" does not currently line up at soup kitchens.

There's also no reason that distribution has to work that way. How about an EBT card mailed to every home, which can be used for potatoes, cheese, and bread at any grocery store?
In my experience, editorial departments of most outlets are no longer separate from ad sales. On paper, maybe, and as a concept/line that too brass can say publicly, but the four major outlets I’ve worked all had edit staffs that end up being influenced heavily by the business side. Sometimes censorship, sometimes decision making and influence.
The "conspiracy" is that hazard reduction burning has been blocked by the Australian Greens (and other environmental bodies).

More hazard reduction may be required, but this is orthogonal to the above. I have seen no evidence of the Greens blocking hazard reduction burns requested by the RFS.

As the article states, fire chiefs have been trying to meet with the Australian prime minster for months, but have been ignored. this suggests that any blame for poor preparation leading up to this bush fire season should be attributed directly to the party in power. To me the motivation behind this spread of disinformation is very clear.
What you miss is you'll find it harder to prove you are relevant as you age.

On things people fresh in the industry are up on, you'll will be behind on. You might still be 100% relevant to the job at hand but you will find it harder to show.

This exists today, the only thing that will change is it will apply to you.

If you're happy to let age beat you, then it's up to you. If you are morally unhappy tech does this you should really retire today. I get plastic surgery might be considered a large step, although I think that's cultural, but it's hard to argue dying a beard is a huge price to pay.

Peter Thiel has an extremely vested interest in preserving the status-quo. Frankly I think the notion that he knows all that much about genuinely creating any sort of movement to be questionable at best.

It's not about changing the world it's about not dehumanizing everything.
I bought a Casper off shelf two days ago. It was the only one on the shelf in Target and it was 9.45 PM. It was pricier than I had expected and didn’t understand why it was so expensive. But I needed one pronto and it wasn’t worth my time to go looking for something else that late at night.

But I did wonder why it was so expensive..
An independent foundation for Rust makes a lot of sense. No doubt the Linux Foundation will pounce on this opportunity to absorb yet another project into its orbit... I would prefer if Rust steered clear of LF / CNCF if possible. Their governance and financials are opaque, they prioritize corporate sponsors and fancy events at the expense of every other priority, and there is already too much power concentrated in a very small group of people.

The Linux Foundation / CNCF people will tell you that it's really hard to setup a foundation, and you should leave it up to them. I don't think that's actually true. In my opinion LF gets much more value out of projects (through compounded brand value and revenue opportunities) than the other way around.

Nothing terrible will happen if you go with them... but nothing amazing will happen either. You will get the bare minimum support and infrastructure, and nothing more. Meanwhile, a few people who don't actually contribute any open-source code will benefit immensely from the Rust brand.

EDIT: I just realized that the Linux Foundation people are already on this thread making their sales pitch...

I think that the main argument here is that there isn't a developer desktop machine that fits the HEDT slot for ARM. There is the Raspi / Odroid / Pine64 tinkerer scale, and the ThunderX2 scale, but nowhere in the middle.

I think the Gigabyte ThunderX Station is being marketed in some channels, like the main page of this site: https://www.phoenicselectronics.com

The new Fujitsu venture Socionext does sell stuff, but like everyone has said, they're interested in doing design-build for your factory robot controller or your edge supercomputer. But they do sell a box: http://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/SynQuacer/Edge/

It just isn't marketed as a GP /HEDT box because that isn't their market
Cash is fine, too. But really I am just advocating for like, Credit Unions, or even traditional for-profit banks like Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, etc as places for storing your money rather than Paypal or Venmo. Zelle instead of Venmo for quick payments to friends. Credit cards or debit cards or whatever instead of Paypal anything.
History repeats. Teaching history does not help.
Yeah this is the one I had. I would guess the product is very similar to Casper
