I see what you are saying, although I do want to mention that the $1000 per month isn't permanent. I'm doing it more to point out the absurdity of living in a society where it's easier to earn $100,000 per year than $12,000 per year. That's self-evidently outrageous and IMHO unsustainable.

After doing this for a few months, I've reached the conclusion that the status quo structures America this way so that we're all locked into the workaday world rat race to bolster corporate profits. The penalties for working less than 40 hours per week are so severe that it's effectively a dream now, out of reach for most. The opportunity cost of that for American innovation is incalculable. We might as well measure it in years instead of dollars. I've lost 20, has anyone else succeeded as a sole proprietor or made a living from patents?

I've already begun to notice the biases against the working poor interwoven through our society. Overdraft fees are crippling, and groveling to get them reversed is demoralizing (luckily my credit union is more understanding than banks ever were). I've begun measuring everything in time again. Eating at a restaurant costs 1-2 hours of income, rent costs at least 30 hours, veterinary bills are out of the question, medical care is a fantasy, I'm at the mercy of my vehicle holding up. I hardly thought about those things on salary, and I grew detached from the chronic daily misery 100 million Americans face just to survive.

Anyway, I want to document all of this as a roadmap for other entrepreneurs that I never had. Reaching $2000 per month, with half coming from self-employment, is the next milestone. Success for me will look like making between $30k and $50k working 20 hours per week by a year or two from now. I figure the odds of that are 90% against, but by working the gig economy, I might be able to get that to 50/50.

Mechanical Engineer here: DPPM has been around forever at least since six-sigma and Total Quality Management was touted to improve Japanese manufacturing after WWII.

Today it seems the Six-sigma fad is over and everyone is trying to be lean and agile, even in businesses that need fat and slow to management complexity.

That physical manufacturing seems like some form of wizardy to people now just shows how containerized our product ecosystem has become, people can press buy now on amazon with no understand of how the thing was made.

I kind of forget that NPI (new product introduction) engineering is second nature to me now after nearly a decade of training, but to being able to robustly deliver a designed and manufactured physical product seems hard to many.
Ask HN: What are the new promising open source IDEs?
The Explicit Coding Discipline
I agree. Under QI it's possible we end up as some disembodied conscious matter in a state of eternal agony; QI only says consciousness will persist, it says nothing about quality of life.
People run rigorous psychology experiments all the time; it's one of the more-sound experimental fields. The only real constraint is that because it deals with human subjects, there are limitations on what types of experiments can be conducted.

Sociology is harder to run experiments, because it deals with interactions among groups of people, rather than individuals. Nonetheless it benefits from natural experiments taking place all around us all the time. This opens it to a different set of confounds, because you cannot precisely design experiments to control them, but you can still do science. You cannot falsify arbitrary theories, but you can falsify many theories.

Ditto climate science; we can formulate numerical models, and refute them by comparing to the ongoing ground truth around us. We can use those numerical models to examine what would happen with perturbed environmental conditions. This a sound computational science for small perturbations. For larger perturbations or very long timescales, you will not have the necessary stability guarantees, but that doesn't mean that you can't do science.

Much of economics is secretly math. You have theorems and proofs rather than experiments. You're correct that this isn't science, but it's not trying to be, and that's OK. The remaining body of economics includes behavioral economics, which--much like psychology--is absolutely science, and can be done extremely rigorously, and macroeconomics, which is largely in the same boat as sociology; they have to take advantage of retrospective studies, but in a sufficiently diverse set of regional economies, you can do some science--you just can't always control for every confound via experimental design.

Internet Consumers/Publishers vs. BigTech
In the UK, Apple will cost you almost 50% more. Spec matching (32GB, 1TB SSD, 8-core 5 Ghz, 4 GB GPU) will cost you an extra 1150 EUR to go Apple.

Apple: £3,339.00

It's not as though Dell is a worse option for many uses either - there are plenty of strengths e.g. Linux compatibility, nvidia gpu, support for pens, repairability, on-site support.
Isn’t < 1 day per pixel totally ok because of the DNN denoising kernels? One could even train the de loser on offline computer frames indicative of the specific scenes.
I disagree.

In my experience there are plenty of "hard" problems within organizations that in reality aren't actually hard to solve. The issue is that the organization has created policies or processes that make the problem hard to solve, and breaking through those artificial barriers can be fairly simple once you find the right approach.

Also, it's much lower risk to spend a limited amount of time exploring whether there are untried solutions to a "hard" problem than it is to publicly declare war on an actual hard problem and hope you find a solution.
Yup, also don't like ligatures. They're a solution looking for a problem. Will however try this font when it drops in IDE updates.
Same. Any font that claims to be for programming but includes ligatures gets a "no thanks" from me accompanied by a bit of sadness because they often mar otherwise nicely designed typefaces.
Judging just by the editorializing title, this isn’t anything I want to get involved in.

It seems to be en Vogue to hate the SO team. But having tried to understand some of the recent hubbubs, I never saw anything that can’t be attributed to fast growth, and excused with a basic assumption of good faith.

There is an urban fantasy series called "The Rivers of London" series after the first book (or "Peter Grant"-series after the main character) and magic interferes with (in the sense of completely fries) more complicated electronics there, so his master (the last fully qualified wizard of Great Britain) also drives an old Jaguar that is all-mechanical and therefore magic-proof. Very entertaining series with lots of references to current pop culture.

You would think so, but afaik there's almost no older smart-phones around (think 4-5 years-old) because they're expensive to repair, that is if you can repair them at all.

That's why you don't see less-wealthy people commuting to their jobs in an early 2000s Mercedes S-Klass or in a VW Phaeton (even though they'd be able to purchase such vehicles at today's prices), but instead they use an older Honda or a Toyota or a slightly newer Nissan.
I haven't delved into a lot of detail of how CCPA works, but it seems to me as a step in the right direction that won't achieve much practical change.

It's worth to look at this from the perspective of EU privacy legislation before GDPR - it already included all the things that data should be safeguarded, customers should be informed, that consent matters, etc. However, it didn't really have a meaningful effect on actual privacy before GDPR (and IMHO we'll need a GDPRv2 not that long in the future), because companies were able to comply simply by adding legalese, privacy policies and notifications without actually changing the privacy-relevant behavior.

One aspect that I feel that CCPA is getting wrong and GDPR got right is the "default condition". According to GDPR, companies are prohibited to process your data unless they can provide a specific legal basis that allows them to do so, one of which is opt-in consent. According to CCPA (correct me if I'm wrong) the default position is that companies are allowed to do whatever they want with your data, but they are required to inform you and honor opt-out requests. This means that it's plausible for a company which currently is doing shady stuff to legally continue doing so, as long as they can write up some fancy words to 'inform' and ensure that most people don't do the opt-out process.

The second difference is the distinction between having the data and using it for a specific purpose. It is a very common scenario where certain private data are clearly needed for a specific purpose (e.g. your address to deliver some goods), but we'd want to restrict the company's ability to use the same data for other purposes e.g. targeted advertising. With the way how GDPR is structured, this separation is built in; but CCPA doesn't make such a distinction, so (for example) the company is able to share data with a third party that's needed for fulfilling some business purpose (even if the customer had the opt-out for selling data, because it's not selling), then (as far as I understand - correct me if I'm wrong) according to CCPA the third party is legally free to use data for whatever other things it wants. And we should expect that business arrangements will be intentionally designed to 'accidentally' make transferring such data (without a sale) to be part of many deals, so that the big data aggregators would still continue to get all the same information that they had; that companies will be able to comply while continuing to do the same thing.

It's wonderful to see this on the front page. I'm currently a student at the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University studying software engineering and heavily involved in the school community.

The Lassonde School of Engineering opened 8 years ago with a fervour for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I suggest folks give the school a Google search as it has rapidly developed to become a phenomenonal environment with its own startup incubator and entrepreneurshi' degree with courses from VCs. I digress, but feel free to ask me any more questions about the school.

The dev degree program started its first cohort last year actually and it now is in its second year.

It is structured so students work 20 hours a week at Shopify and take 3 courses per semester at school. Students are required to work and go to school through the summer which allows them to complete the degree in the standard four years.

My peers in the program have I said great things. One of the key parts of the program is how one switches between different teams to get a better understanding of the software engineering landscape. Moreover the mentorship is very helpful and not only developing your technical skills by yourself skills.

One question that students and parents asked me a lot is if there is a requirement to work at Shopify following the completion of the program. Luckily Shopify has made it clear that they will not be expecting students to stay once they complete their degree, but it is my intuition that many people from the program will stay on after their large time investment into the Shopify ecosystem.

Overall, I would have entered this program myself for it for engineering students as well. Sadly, the program is restricted to computer science students as the Canadian accreditation requirements for engineering are not fulfilled while in the dev degree program.

Although people may say "why do you need a degree?", it is difficult to find a job without the qualification of showing your ability to complete post-secondary in a field of candidates that did.

With initiatives such as Silicon Valley trip for students run by the Lassonde co-op Department, I am sure that lassonde will continue to innovate and engage students in meaningful ways beyond the traditional methods.
I'm with you but parent specifically said they were not running an exit node.
In my opinion, you're fundamentally mis-interpreting the original post. The author is NOT saying that you as a founder care more about your success than, say, your stakeholders. If you fail, they care, and a lot, because you made them lose money.

What the post is saying is that they don't care about you having a story about WHY you failed. Nobody else cares about that.

To stay in the metaphor, if you lose a game and your story is "well we have a lot of injuries", the only thing other people will hear is "yep, here's someone who's trying to find an excuse for why he failed".

They don't care you have a nice little theory about why you lost. They want you to win. So focus on finding a way to win, not to explain your loss.

Whether that's wise advice I don't know. I feel that knowing why you failed is important per se, even if other people don't care.

Recruiters told you those roles don't exist because recruiters are compensated on a percentage of your salary. Lower salary, lower fee, but it takes the same amount of work to fill the role. So why should they bother with part-time when there are loads of full-time roles to chase?

However, remote part-time does exist! If you're a frontend developer looking to fill a few extra hours on contract feel free to reach out - my email is in my profile.
If you make a large cash transaction, the teller is not supposed to tell you they are filing a Currency Transaction Report (CTR).

It is also weird that he talks about the reason he raised prices at companies in the past was because it was fiduciary to shareholders. Then he starts a new company with VC money. I might be more believing if the company was a B corp.

We need a different approach to drug development that is not this. The big issue with drugs is that there are only legal protections for generics and other countries have far different bargaining power. We need some kind of shared risk and reimbursement model with every country having access to the ability to buy or create generics based on them paying to support the research. This is something that could be easily spearheaded by a Gates foundation or its ilk.
You might think so, but it really depends on the culture and philosophy of the company.

"Let's rewrite this old messy app in 'modern' technology" - sure it seems cleaner at first, but when you actually reach parity with the old app, you are likely about as messy.

That was the old Microsoft, for all its faults. The new Microsoft is much more Google-like: products are chucked out and then killed shortly after if they get no traction. They deprecate and remove services with ruthless regularity even when they are considered first-rate - like Lync/SkypeForBusiness.
