I really question the really unrealistic prices of these retro systems, both on auction sites and the "new" retro stuff.

They are asking $200 for the commander x16 keyboard not to mention vaporware like the Mega65 that never might be released but seem to get lots of donations and endorsement from PC magazines (endorsements are free?)

I have seen broken VIC20s and ZX81s go for $300+ on eBay. Why?

I am not saying people should not buy this stuff and if they is what their hobby is...cool. My wife cannot understand why I buy the things I like. But those prices are only going to have the choir as the customers. They should be eating the cost of that keyboards and new gear to grow new customers.

The parent comment said "I would never recommend deadlifts."
I'm mostly in agreement with you, but the part that gives me concern is precisely how precisely the lasers will be aimed at the retina. I doubt anyone ever really looks at a screen in the exact same place (even if you are staring at a specific character) due to eye jitter. After a year or twenty of use are we going to start having burn-in on our retina's similar to plasma screens used as kiosks?
Here's my take on it.

Given I'm in a situation similar to OP's — took 4 weeks just to catch up with sleep and dismantle anxiety.

I was approached about a job. The process includes a home assessment with a 5 day deadline. Definitely it's doable, it's a filter yadda yadda.

But I'm asking you if the scene is really swarmed with impostors and bullshitters that you have to enforce people working for free for you to handpick? I call home assessments a tool for locating tractable employees. You know, those who wouldn't mind the OT every 2nd week of the months.

Hell, they already proved motivated working for free when they solved that home task you gave then.

You wouldn't ask the cook to work for free just to taste his dish and then decline without paying him.
You wouldn't do that to a driver either.
To a gardener.

Why the heck does the developer has to jump through those hoops then.
As another commenter notes, the dunes are behaving as cellular automata, which appears to be an apt description. Can automatons communicate? Our computers sure do... is that also anthropomorphization?
No offense, but that's a stretch. I worked in ad tech for almost a decade, so I'm no innocent either.
I assume that this not because Google is midirecting email, but rather because your email address is quite close to that of others.

Mine is just my last name @gmail.com. It is a rather uncommon name, and I've met many others with that name, as I've accidentally received email intended for them.
I'd gently suggest that this may not be the best place to make posts like that.

As a matter of fact, you'd be very surprised at the amount, and type, of mentoring that I do and have done, for decades.

I mean, a google form would have done the job just fine right? It's insane to me that they decided to have this custom built instead.
How about a mentee program for prospective engineering leaders to learn from those in those positions. There's a huge gap in mentorship for this kind of skill set. I can easily find people to teach me the tech side of things, finding information and wisdom on the leadership side has major barriers, in my experience, and a very high noise to signal ratio for finding this info without direction from a mentor.

I don't understand why this wasn't done via Google Forms instead. A bunch of sites each reporting some numbers, which are then tallied and analyzed separately. Why is a whole app infrastructure necessary?
I wondered this myself but I searched the IEEE website and it appears that there are several stories about various Bosch technologies so it is possible that Bosch was expecting this writer to cover their other stuff and wasn't planning to demo this particular item. Given that Bosch is looking for a commercial partner and not to sell direct to the public they might have had the glasses to show to possible partners and not reporters.

That's always a fair point, but you can at very least pick your poison (hosting provider), and it's very portable to switch between them. Or if you want to, set it up on your own physical machine. I don't know enough about network security to run a publicly facing server from home, and I don't think I'll take the time to learn it any time soon. However, I may well end up running it at home at some point soon in a way that's only accessible from home, for truly private things like contacts. A nice in-between could be a community center intranet. (Though setting up auth within an intranet isn't easy yet)

To your point, I'd be curious if the data selling/using policies of Linode vs Google Cloud are different.
We already have moved these local problems to a larger authority. The modern wellfare programs are just that. UBI proposes to simplify that mess with a single more efficient way. UBI isnt introducing a new form of wellfare, but rather replacing the current ones.

Also very interested in proposals on joint ventures between the church and state to fill the gaps, as UBI will no question still have gaps. But overall UBI is simply replace a slow (testing and reuping, lots of minute conditions), unreliable (delays, not gaurenteed to be there forever), innefficient(high administation overhead, lots of monmey diverted to distrobution and testing, rather than the end individuals) wellfare program(s) with a fast (universal, so no testing), reliable (gaurenteed for everyone, so no thinking it will go away if you get a job or if you run out of balance) and efficient(little admin overhead, higher % of cash going to individuals) wellfare program.

Many UBI schemes propose that local institutions like states and/or cities also impliment a UBI tax to suppliment the federal. so still a local issue and local solution too.

1. Lasting mindset.

Recently I've looked around me and realized, everything around me is new. There are no memories around me, I have chased marketed products until my whole apartment is lined up with useful products.

Some of the people I admire the most carried around the same water bottle for more than 10 years, wore the same watch for more than 20 years, used a phone for more than 3 years. They can point to anything they owned and talk about the rich emotional history behind each item.

I think more people should acquire the skill to use a product and maximize its life rather than to throw and buy the next cool thing.
I don't think that really matters, though. Even the appearance of impropriety is an unacceptable risk to the integrity of the caucus. Doubly so in a time of conspiracy theories and misinformation run rampant.
Ask HN: Freelancing Teams?
Hi all, I've been trying to join the gig economy in recent months to finance my solo work, but it's been substantially harder than I anticipated. So far I've had slight luck with manual labor on Craigslist gigs, but I live in a medium-sized city in the northwest where work is somewhat seasonal. I haven't tried DoorDash or Uber Eats yet. Upwork.com and Freelancer.com seem saturated, with roughly 10-25 applications (sometimes 75+!!) per gig that I have skills for. Also many of the projects are based overseas so don't support the buying power needed to work from the US (this has accelerated notably due to globalization since I last looked 5 years ago).

My question is, does anyone know of a freelance site where you simply join a team? I'd like to be able to walk onto a project without all of the vetting red tape and hassle of spitballing dozens of gigs. I'd also like to move freely between projects without the long-term commitment of a full-time remote job. It seems to me that this would suit the needs of clients, since they are mostly looking for pinch hitters to execute quickly, without the overhead of hiring a consulting firm.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Can you find an article or video about these recently manufactured pronouns that has a majority of comments that are supportive? Because I certainly can't. As I said to the other responder - even the gays are against it AFAICT since articles I've found on places like "pink news" have shown gay people mocking them as well.

I find that what people say to your face at work is vastly different from what they'll say outside of work or when they really feel comfortable...anonymously online.
So why do people tend to shit on fine art of hacker news, but whenever they discuss writers there’s a certain love attached to it?

This kind of crap is why Bernie Sanders is so popular. It's why Trump won the 2016 election too. There is an overwhelming feeling on the part of voters that the "establishment" of the party is beholden to a small group of wealthy neoliberals (or neoconservatives on the GOP side, but there are few differences in policy between the two). Many on the left regard liberalism as a failed project, and Sanders is popular among them because he offers an alternative to neoliberalism.

The wealth inequality that accelerated after the 2007 crisis has added a class warfare aspect to national politics where one did not exist before. Trump has largely eviscerated the Republican party by playing on this, and I think we're seeing this dynamic on the Democrat side this election cycle.

I believe OP is saying the difference is equal to, not that the difference is caused by.

USA GDP PPP per capita in 2018 according to the IMF: $62606

Mexico, ditto: $20602

20602×1.01^100 = 55724.6

The difference is closer to 1.1177% compounded over a century, but I wouldn’t quibble over the extra digits when most news reports of economic growth are rounded to the nearest 0.25%.

I don't see the AR applications even being the most interesting part of this. A private facial recognition database coupled with "this person's name and a note to self" would be immensely helpful in a lot of situations -- I have bad facial recognition (not full on face-blindness, but inconvenient) and it would be neat to be able to hack on this a little bit. This would also require a camera of some sort, but I'd rather have that not be integrated.

Possibly even "real-world closed captions".

A tap for clock/calendar function would be handy.

Morse code (or other silent, maybe subvocal?) "telepathy" would be interesting as well.

I don't know how convenient or awful these would be in reality, but if the cost were not exorbitant and you weren't locked into a proprietary app ecosphere then it definitely seems like it would be worth a shot.

Some've become collectibles. The market will speak up. If people are hoarding on them and demand is high price will go up. If more people are willing to part with them and the demand is low the price will drop. Also there's the nostalgia factor, the fact that these things are still cool after all these years, that they're still functioning, that they were pretty well built, lots of reasons.

The challenge there is that if you're hiring people who are a venn diagram of developer and politically active/connected, you're always going to be getting people who have some sort of history with candidates.

Maybe it's just generally a hand grenade to hire any company that does political IT. Or maybe there's an opportunity for a truly neutral company to make inroads there.

> There may be a lot of wealth, but it may end up in the pockets of corrupt officials who use it to buy foreign luxury products

That's what came into my mind an hour ago: it probably is easy to inhibit corruption in developing countries if every developed country would ban their citizens from purchasing luxury and making huge investments abroad. E.g. if a Kenyan or a Russian citizen (let alone an official/politician) wants to buy a humble middle-class living or start a small business in the EU/US/UK/etc - that's Ok but as soon as they try to buy a luxury penthouse, a castle or otherwise invest money which exceeds their country richest city median annual wage by an order or magnitude or more - this transaction should be blocked and investigated.
