>Because using the proper English word doesn't help more than using an abbreviation if you don't know the meaning of the English word in the first place.

If you don't know the meaning of an English word, you can use a dictionary. If you don't know the meaning of some ad hoc abbreviation, unless you can waste even more human time by asking at people who already are in the secret, you are left on your own.

> On a side note, I have more trouble understanding code written in French (my native language) than in English.

USA soft power is strong, that's it. It's people duty to take care of better mastering their own languages if they don't want to see it ineffective in their daily linguistic needs.

People know what a token is in the context of a parser, only after they learned it. When this is not the learner native language, they will learn it most likely without having a clue of how it makes sense in the semantic network of English. If a French is first introduced to this notion using the term "lexie" (which also exists in English by the way, as a borrowing from French to English in linguistic this time), chances are far greater that it will evoke something meaningful to this person, as it's lexically close to the term lexic. Using French morphemes, one could also easily produce terms like métataxeur[1], or even distaxeur and transtaxeur.

>but you will be better understood if you use the English words.

Chance are greater that they will see what you are referring to as they already crossed the term before more often. It doesn't necessarily imply that they will better understand what it means. When a notion is well assimilated, it's recognized in any language mastered, even when it's expressed under a bright new metaphor.

> I am proposing that developers pay to justify higher wages and cut through subjective hiring bullshit

Why is that a problem developers need to solve? A bad hiring process hurts the company much more than developers.

> The rest of your points don't make any sense. You don't need any education to be a developer. For example, I am completely self taught. I have also worked with some incredibly talented developers who have no college at all.

That's good for you and them, but if you have certifications, there are going to be tests for those certifications, and people are going to want an effective way to learn the material necessary to pass those tests. I've taught myself things, and I've learned things from teachers, and the latter is much faster for me and most people. So if you want me to get a certification, I'm going to want you to pay for me to take a class geared toward that certification. Certification classes = education.

I'll also point out that a bachelor's degree in CS is a certification, which you seem to think isn't much of a value added. So which is it: are certifications a value added or not?

> Without some value added quality like licensing

How is licensing an added value for developers?

> I also suspect the developers who are most strongly opposed to licensing or certification are those who have never completed a certification in any field.

I'm not opposed to certification. I'm opposed to requiring certifications in order to work in development, and then forcing would-be developers to pay for it. I learned a lot in my J2EE certification class when my employer paid for it, and while I don't think I've ever even put that on my resumé, the knowledge gained does show up sometimes in these non-objective interviews you're complaining about. :)
You sound extremely defensive with regard to this article — to the point that I am speculating whether or not you have vested interest in shooting down legitimate commentary.

You have responded to multiple comments with baseless FUD-like claims.

To which I contend.....

It is not hypocritical at all if the OP intends to fully mix and integrate.

Germany has a large Turkish demographic that the governing class is intent on expanding on that does not mix nor integrate, even after 2 or 3 generations. This culture encourages their women to procreate at a young age, denies them their own agency and forces them to subside on benefits.

The same is true in the UK with Pakistanis / Bangladeshis, with more than half receiving state support [1]. I'm not sure if Germany has towns like Bradford [2] or Luton but I'd wager this was the deciding factor why the Brits voted out, given that the majority of refugees during the crisis were from Islamic countries. Current trends will see Britons in the minority by 2066 [3].

I was in Berlin not too long ago, and as myself and a few coworkers returned from lunch near Spandau, a middle aged woman in full dress stopped in the middle of the road and dramatically traced a line along her neck whilst staring directly at the four of us. Not the behavior I would expect from someone grateful to find themselves in the country of another.

I have no idea why Western countries have persued this policy, or allowed the funding of mosques by foreign actors. I know in the UK there was a scandal that suggested that the Labour party might have done so to increase their voting base [4], but with the spousal rights that immigration brings it's been extremely difficult to get a handle on ever since. In the case of Germany, since infinite growth is impossible, will the loss of societal cohesion in persuit of GDP alone prove worth it?

Peter Thiel predicts the future of Europe is to either islamicize or become surveillance states [5]. For an example of how this might play out over the long term, Lebanon used to be a Christian majority country until it accepted a large influx of muslim refugees. The place has been a smoking ruin ever since, with Islamic culture imposed and Christians fleeing a nation created specifically for them by the French. Sadly the west in it's infinite wisdom decided to subsequently destroy the one country that might have provided a natural refuge for these people [6].

Java doesn't need the trick to allocate useless GB to force the GC to behave, like Twich and others have reported about.

I also bet that Java value types will be available in the language earlier than any Go compiler with generics support.

A Camry costs around $24,000. $16,000 worth of gas, at $2.4 per gallon, times the EPA 34mpg combined gas mileage of the 2020 Camry, is good for over 200,000 miles. And that's assuming that the power to charge your car is completely free--it isn't, even though it's less than the price of gas on a per-mile basis.
USA is having an unusual "double-barreled" flu this year where two different variants are common. One of which is A/H1N1 appeared as a second wave late in the flu season.

Not sure what coronavirus will do, but clearly diseases like H1N1 can recur.

What is somewhat more scary is that particularly lethal diseases often get less aggressive over time because the less aggressive variants transmit better and offer protection against the more aggressive variants. But since coronavirus can spread before symptoms appear, it's not clear that the same feedback loop will occur.
IANAL, Retroactively going after the valuation of assets based on success years on is awkward at the least, and dangerous at the worst.

FB is right, they were still pretty unproven in 2010. It took nearly 1.5 years after their IPO before they convinced people they could make money.

I agree, it seems like they would be looking for evidence of undervaluing. But like, let's say you are discount potential cash flows. I don't even know if FB was profitable in 2010, what kind of projected cash flows are you going to have?

I just think that if the governments cared about this so much, they would actually fix this. The double irish is going away, but while the US had a chance to fix stuff in 2018, there's still incentive to offshore IP, and in fact, reinforces the advantage of offshoring production.

Different architectures is actually a smaller problem than evolution of data format. In-memory formats are not extensible by default.
Reminder that during the previous solar age, with abundant mineral resources, limits of development were ~500 million souls, wooden ploughs, and largely stone-and-earth construction.

Even modest amounts of bronze and iron smelting cleared forests (for charcoal) throughout the Mediterannean and European regions. Much of the reason for forest regrowth throughout Europe has been the shift to other fuels. Nonrenewable fossil fuels.

Which have issues both of abundance and atmospheric impacts.

Returning to an era of predominantly solar energy, even with our considerably enhanced technical and scientific knowledge, absent the preindustrial ease of access to specific materials (iron, copper, etc.), as well as that great advance: naturally-occurring agricultural fertilisers (saltpetre from India, guano from South America and Pacific islands), would be ... markedly different from the present.
Plenty of companies provide fruit. Apples are not strong causes of diabetes last time I looked.
Maybe EFF should offer members DoH. They could make some strong privacy guarantees and provide an incentive for more people to join the EFF.

I know that there's a big financial incentive to censor aircraft data, and I haven't seen an explicit statement from OpenSky on their policies, so... I'm not sure.
X seems a strange blend of overly ambitious and overly critical/ constraining (which is partly related to conception of what is "big" enough). It's also unnecessarily secretive and would benefit from being more open, especially in the energy and climate space.

A lot of interesting ideas get shot down quickly, which is not necessarily a bad thing.. but I'm not sure what the false positive vs. false negative rate is in this process. But for those ideas that develop, it seems like perfectly solid technologies that could form the premise of an interesting startup don't get out the door because they don't meet an internal bar of "worthiness". Maybe let the market and external funders decide that?

Their internal process is not intrinsically good or bad, but what's unfortunate is that they don't really publish. I know they're not looking to be Bell Labs, but if they think a lot of these ideas aren't going to pan out, but many person-years of research effort goes in, they really should share the learnings and lessons as opposed to locking it up internally. When these projects don't pass their internal bar for being commercially viable (which seems rather disconnected from what that bar would be if the idea/ tech stood on its own outside), it's basically like academic research. Truly is a shame that a lot of smart people working on interesting non-commercializable ideas don't get to share that. Others might pick up on it, if not now.. maybe a decade or two down the road.
Should Cloudflare is likely better than any random ISP. But maybe someone that puts a priority on privacy could run their own DoH. Like maybe the EFF.
I don’t think Eisenhower was saying the money would necessarily go to those things. He was saying they could have, and that each of these weapons purchases represents a lost opportunity, a choice not made.
I read a few other posts on the authors blog and I think overthinking is a common issue for them.

I'm under the impression that the practice started in the bay area where the nearest grocery store is a nice 10 minute drive away.
Unfortunately OpenSky does filter data (donors and sponsors to name a few) and is nothing more than a tax dollar black hole and front for commercially selling data while supporting the for profit Sero Systems.

ADSBx offered to share data, a data swap. Opensky was not interested and told us - "go fuck yourselves".
What you quoted was more of a statement of what I want than an argument for why I want it. You didn't quote my argument.
If you have to ask, it's usually best not to confront them directly. People who act this way are ready, even eager to get into a fight. Sort of like fighting a bigger person, you want to disarm them.

A standard tactic is to be genuinely nice to them. You don't have to like them, but being polite makes them look worse when they are not. You can even be generous to them. This might actually give you some insight to why he acts that way. I've had issues with some coworkers who insecure in a job they badly needed, or some who have a grudge against someone else in the team for a good reason.

If you do fight back, make sure you can land a solid hit. Argue when you're clear that you're right, and make them explain where they think you're wrong. A solid hit will discourage them next time.

The trick with office politics is that you also need more people on your side. Be friends with the people he's picking on. It sounds like you're isolated. Wolves avoid herds.

If all else fails, learn to be unbothered like your managers have. Sometimes you have to treat them like children, which is to smile and nod as they tantrum. Sometimes you treat them like an environmental hazard, like a puddle of urine in the bathroom where it's not your job to clean after.
Indian mobile phone industry to halt as Coronavirus stalls factories in China
If we're speaking about privacy, then ADS-B is just one element of concern. The FAA is now finalizing new Remote ID regulations that will require all unmanned aircraft over 0.55 pounds to be identified and tracked in real time, with data shared back to authorized data aggregators. This is a major concern to hobbyists (think first person quad-copter racing), because the details of the proposed rules make it virtually impossible for hobbyists to fly amateur built aircraft, while giving cart blanch to commercial drone operators (ie delivery services) to fly anywhere assuming they have the resources to comply with the new Remote ID rules. The FAA is essentially saying they have the authority to regulate all navigable airspace, and since UAVs can fly inches from the ground, they are claiming authority to regulate who flies an inch above your own property. The rules are open for comment right now https://www.faa.gov/uas/research_development/remote_id/. A good summary is to read DJI's point of view. https://content.dji.com/we-strongly-support-drone-remote-id-...
To add my two cents: my company had the same problem - despite checking all the boxes ourselves.

When testing, something we noticed was that the content of our emails/newsletters had a significant impact on whether they ended up in the inbox vs. spam.

Of the major service providers, Outlook seems to put huge importance on the content of the email. The simple addition or deletion of a couple of words can dramatically affect spam rates.

Yahoo is less trigger-happy about content; and Gmail least of all. However, even for domains with a good sender reputation, Gmail will spam emails if the content is too 'spammy'.

Shameless plug here: we ended up building a tool to test out various email subjects/bodies against the big 3 providers above (you can even plug in your own email address/service when testing). Do try it out - I'm sure you'll find the results eye-opening: https://vetter.monsoonyeti.com/
Norway, but I would imagine it's the same or same-ish solution given that banks in Scandinavia and Baltics operate more or less the same way.
Corporations are just bundles of stuff that people own. They have legal personhood as a convenient legal fiction because it would be obnoxious if all of the owners had to get together to sign things, and they have rights because people don't lose any of their individual rights just because they happened to form a corporation together. But at the end of the day, bundles of stuff. Economists seem to be broadly in agreement that tax systems would work better if corporations didn't pay income tax.
This is already regulated. The current 21% corporate tax rate would be enough to make it very attractive otherwise.
JavaScript's New Features in 2020
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
I run https://officesnapshots.com and we sell and self host our own advertising and have experience with this concept.

Even before building any tech, I would say the most important thing would be to find a website and try to sell ads for them. You could then add some html to their site to test the concept and build some trust with both the publisher and advertiser.

If the publisher uses Google Ads, see which advertisers already spend money to advertise on the site and approach them directly to buy a month of ads at something like a 25% discount. 25% off is less than they were paying, but 75% is more than what Google was paying the publisher.

Ask HN: Should I drop out for an online CS degree?
My current university is less than challenging and has a lot of Mickey Mouse courses that teach buzzwords like AI and integrated data platforms (in the first semester!) without actually talking about implementation or even the theory behind them. I don’t think I’ll get a lot of value in the next few years.

I have the option of starting the BSc Computer Science program by the University of London partnered with Coursera. The curriculum seems more standard and the online delivery will free up a lot of time for self study.

Will the choice of either matter in the long run? Is it worth taking the gamble of an online degree with the potential payoff of learning much more?

Mostly caused by LLVM.

Other equally expressive languages have multiple implementations, including REPLs, with Go like compilation speeds.

So Swift and Rust just need equally LLVM fat free implementations for the developer loop, leaving the LLVM backend for the blazing execution release builds.
The point of capital gains taxes having a separate rate lower than income tax is mostly to account for the fact that corporations pay income tax, so income received from corporations has already been taxed once. One of the perks of abolishing corporate income tax is that it naturally should be paired with abolishing the distinction between capital gains and earned income, a double-whammy of tax code simplification.

When the crew is rescued from a ship I can imagine they see the ship as lost and it is probably going to sink. Because that's why they rescued the crew in the first place.

FYI, Tokyo has tons of room to put more housing. Just knock over the old un-attractive houses and build something builder.

Anyone complaining how no new low market housing has been built is wishing for a short cut. California has strangled their housing supply for so long there is unmet demand at every market level. To somehow expect development to sneak through at the low end is silly.

Houses and apartments start new then get older. Older things are less valuable and thus naturally low end housing is best met by old less desired housing.

Wishing to see new development first happen at the low end before saturating the high end is like wishing car makers built brand new cars for the used car market.
Most people (that I know of at least) advocating for 0 corporate income tax would like to see it paired with eliminating the special tax rate for capital gains and rolling capital gains income into earned income.
You only say that because the value you mention is usually visible whereas the costs are usually hidden or not obvious.

For example, in my experience Excel is really good at providing job security to those who develop complex spreadsheets. But the cost to the organization tends to be enormous as well, because spreadsheets are impossible to scale, which in turn makes the processes that rely on them impossible to scale.
