Oh yes. We used to be lazy developers and do the bare minimum. We sell a SaaS to the SMB field and the feedback we got was that they wanted to know _exactly_ what we were changing in the app. So now we produce full sentence (or paragraph) explanations for every JIRA card that gets into production for our users, including links to updated documentation, training videos, screenshots, etc.
Well, I should have been more clear. I enjoy the trolling responses, not the ones from people who have been at a company for 5 years and haven't figured out how to unsubscribe themselves from an email list.

A single limited Finnish experiment of limited duration was loosely characterized. Not proving anything; not rational to deduce all that from 'an article'.

Corona-Rap challenge by the President of Poland
Many real estate investments are highly leveraged—-you need people renting your property to pay back the loan you used to buy the property.

If a family owns a vacation property outright and they’re going to miss out on some extra income then things are annoying but not terrible.

Those that bought in a leveraged scenario (and worse did so on multiple properties) are heading into a really bad situation and thus it’s understandable they’ll want to offload the property ASAP.

This is not what the post to which you're replying is advocating, quite the opposite. People in big cities get far more exposure to "the world" than outside of these centers, mostly because the world comes to them every day.
While a recipe isn't protected by copyright in the US (and many other countries, including the UK), the wording of the recipe could well be an original literary work, the layout of the page could attract a copyright (as it does in cookbooks) and you're right that the images would be protected.

All that said, if the import is being used for personal use only and not being edited, then it's little different to printing it out and putting it in a binder. I don't know much about US fair-use laws, but in the UK it would seem that reproducing a recipe in an app for your own use would qualify as fair dealing thanks to being personal study.

That only applies if the imports are specific to the person importing them, of course. If they're shared or published, then it's a different story. Also, if you're importing more than one recipe, so it's a significant amount of the published work, then that'd be an issue too. You can't import a whole cookbook and claim it's personal study, but one recipe out of dozens is probably fine.

Okay
I generally agree and I think I understand OP's intent. However, if true that paints a fairly bleak picture. I'd like to find challenging work and make upper echelon salary, why not? Didn't go to MIT or similar and no FAANG experience. So my only hope is to create an open source project or blog and pray it explodes in popularity?

It's a habit you need to keep your whole life. I grew up eating mostly fruit for dessert every day until I was 17. Once I left my parent's home I lost that habit very quickly. Now I'm 33 and still have to push myself to eat fruit instead of junk sweet food.
That is exactly what TB has. The problem is that the device private key (in many(/all?) devices) sits in the flash memory completely unprotected so anyone can clone it.
In humans this would typically be an oral or naseo-gastric tube that runs down to the stomach, effectively bypassing the mouth.

Of course you could use a needle but that's generally rare.

Not sure what is considered standard for mice.
The concern is that it may have become disconnected from reality, and eventually crash hard.

The Dow dropped into the 7,000s in the 2009 recession. I don't see any reason to believe the current recession will be milder.

Modern fruit is so very sweet. I'd love to see a proper study of sugars and GI index in a 2020 Honeycrisp vs what the official stats say is in an apple. I really suspect it isn't much different from a candy bar.

I don't expect those popular areas to get cheap, but I'm speaking of the historic RE bull run that began in 2000 that saw the rate of increase vastly outstripping core inflation and wages. That was clearly a bubble, and RE is still ridiculously high as a multiple of median wages in many "hot" markets. LA, SF, Seattle, etc. are almost totally unaffordable to anyone below 1-2 standard deviations above the median income, which is crazy. SF Bay is by far the craziest at least among major cities, though I suspect there may be crazier small "boutique" markets around.

Bubbles are basically naturally occurring Ponzi schemes. They are not driven by fundamentals.
That up-front cost is again, a percent of what the factory floor used to employ. And they're mostly used once at the beginning.

To support a model of "build new factories forever" requires endless expansion. The world is no longer expanding at a rate that would support that, not nearly. And I don't see that as a desirable world .
I've been number crunching the last few weeks for my next startup. I can't compete with big tech companies in salary but I can give the ability for them to relocate to where ever they really want to live. I've been really surprised how many conversations I've had with people interested in giving up huge salaries for the freedom to live where they want.
There's some evidence, and countries w/ mask culture seem to be doing better. It also has a psychological value of reminding yourself not to touch your face and reminding others that to keep distance. So, that could also be part of the reason it works, could be some placebo effects that add to the safety, but the fact is masks don't really protect the wearer because apparently stuff can come in through sides/and such but it protects others if you cough or sneeze, or just breath out droplets.

It's a combined effect that only works if it's got at least 80% compliance, preferably 100% should be required. Why take the risk of killing someone if the wearing a mask could alleviate it? Is wearing a mask such a horrible thing?
I’m already running make in -j8 and running multiple invocations of clang in parallel, why would I want each one of them using up 800% CPU? Effort spent making a single invocation of clang saturate all my CPU cores is misguided IMO, and the wrong place to be doing parallelization.
Agreed. There may be short term movements, but like you said, we’ll see the full effect once the courts reopen and things start moving again.

I thought that's what this blog post was going to be about but it's just an ad for their app. I just need the scraping functionality.
I guess HN is more anti social than average, but I'm convinced that most people want to work with others. I certainly do.

That said, there is probably enough pent up demand of people who really want it, for numbers to go up substantially from here.
I assume this would go into DMCA territory, since your hosting user submitted content. As long as you don't host the scraped recipes and images publicly, I imagine it would live in a legal grey area if you had a notice that you must be allowed to use the image you upload in your jurisdiction.

It'd be similar to trying to go after google because someone uploaded a copyrighted work to their google drive. I know they have to deal with it if you share the link, but they don't go out of their way to remove content you uploaded to your google drive and never shared.

This doesn't make any sense. What does a "60 day cut" even mean? As I understand it, H1Bs get processed now and then get issued in like October. It is more than 60 days from now until October

Wouldn't the only result of this be a backlog of paperwork to process?
Well you're not wrong on the overall trend over the past twenty years, but over the past four or five, the rate has been trending upward. Most of the downward movement was during the recession, for which it's not obvious that the reason ownership went down is not mainly panic selling (i.e., individual choice and risk tolerance) instead of anything systemic.
Agreed.

Except up your estimate by an order of magnitude or three. Farms of 10,000 acres managed by a handful of people. John Deere estimates 100M acres under automated tillage today, worldwide.
He didn't do anything even remotely invasive. If they want to go back to crowded restaurants full of people without masks sitting too close together they are going to discover pretty quickly how big of a mistake that is.
And IIRC this holds MongoDB and I'd assume other non-SQL DBs.

If you have an index on <companyId, userId>, and you query with a userID only, that index wont be used. But if the index was <userId, companyId> then that index would be used. Or if you supplied both userId and companyId in your query, then either index would work.
Oh, sure. There are much deeper problems in that project.

Thanks.

That may be the case in your particular market, but there are plenty of international tourist hotspots that may not even have summer tourism this year. Open up Google Maps and zoom in to the eastern half of Mallorca: you'll see roughly 3 out of 4 of the homes there are "agroturismos." It's possible they won't see a single booking all summer.
It's not because of mucus. Unlike a normal flu I've not had a runny nose, at all.
I would say often times this does and should lie with the senior folks on a team. They're the ones who must be able to communicate well since their impact should be broader, perhaps even outside the team. And they should be scaling the team with their own knowledge and experience. I know it's a little different than what you're getting at but i think one person can do both.
I meant the FlightSim team not microsoft in general, pretty much the whole point compared to GE VR would be to benefit from the advances they made in the visuals department, dynamic weather/water/traffic is a big chunk of it.

About Outings, I should not judge by its cover but it doesn't look very impressive and seems to be AR oriented (mixed reality headset or hololens required).

Have you tried the Index? It used to be bad on the Vive, but Xplane with the Valve Index finally made it possible for me to see the instruments without squinting.
Wow. I'd never heard of this.

And now instead we have virtually the same thing via JSX except we now require a compilation stage to achieve essentially the same thing...

As a guitar noob, I'd say that all of those options are great (and yes, I've used them all). If you were more than a noob and had specific needs, I might recommend a specific one to match those needs. I went with the AxeFx because it is insanely tweakable...
It sounds like excuses companies make when they pollute the or exploit their employees. Solution for them to stop is to level the playing field by law. I think that one day the same will happen with software, and we'll all be sorry.

“Why doesn’t everyone who is putting information out there for free not cater to exactly my needs”.

What an utter load of bollocks. These are people who are creating something that they enjoy doing and giving you information you apparently need for free. I don’t understand why anyone would trash their desire to write something that is personal and/or interesting to them about it.

And that’s setting aside that these usually make the recipes far more readable and interesting to the vast majority of people.

I Built an iMessage API
Over the past month I was able to build an iMessage API. Did I reverse engineer the iMessage API? No. I simulate touches on iPhone screens to send and receive messages. Check it out here: sendblue.co

It was easy to build and best of all, it's cheaper than Twilio.
>I am for reasoned reopening of our economy, but only if we do it with I would call “smart style”: adopt safety measures and make them mandated by law.

This is obviously the right measure to take but I don't think any states have the infrastructure to do that currently. You need massive testing tracing capacity and we don't seem to be close to that at all. Yet all the states are reopening while cases and deaths increase almost everywhere outside NYC
It's funny, I'm a huge proponent of remote teams and working, but yeah, having a physical constraint of a whiteboard is a nice forcing function to keep people ordered when all these online collaboration tools just become junk drawers.

And the reason I switched to a normal laptop when my Surface Pro was unusable for a couple weeks. The issue could have been solved in 30 seconds if the battery was removable. Instead even Microsoft themselves couldn't do anything because they glued it shut on all sides.

Also the power cord was thinner than cheap USB charging cables and didn't have any bend protection, quickly leading to defects. Absolutely unacceptable for a portable device and obviously intentional.

Never again.
Be careful with this, some recipes are subject to copyright law. I think you can list ingredients of a recipe with no problem, but once you get to exact measurements and prep it somehow switches over to falling under copyright law. There used to be a bunch of open sourced recipe repos/databases...but almost all of them are gone.
Yes and...? Neither Linux (normally) or MacOS an RTOS, what would he gain by switching to them?
A little over a month ago, I wrote about how COIVD-19 was two diseases, the one caused by the virus and the other caused by society eating itself in an attempt to fight the virus:

https://battlepenguin.com/philosophy/covid-19-is-two-disease...

I did a follow up called This Is Not a time of Honor, but it doesn't cover a lot of things that are starting to come out right now: the sheer number of people who had serious medical conditions who avoided hospitals or were told simply to not come in. There are several anecdotal stories of people who have died from heart attacks and other diseases, and those need to be measured because that should have never fucking happened.

So much of what has been done to stop this disease has had determinable effects. We try to say Lives > Economy, but the economy isn't just some abstract concept; it is what allows so many of us to live. Our leaders locked everyone down without providing a god damn thing to help people (at least in the US, at least in the UK and other country, they got payroll ... PPP in the US is a god damn joke).

I also fear that the push for contract tracing will basically erode all our privacy, or what's left of it anyway.

6 months would be enough for the current pandemic to fizzle out. If the virus can't find susceptible hosts anymore it'll simply die. For now, that is.

Until it reappears or until we have a proper vaccine, for that matter (which at first might require several shots at intervals, too), treatments and general preparedness can improve.

You should remind yourself that a good manager is there to support you/ make your job easier and more relevant. A manager is not your master. No manager is embarrassed to have an assistant younger than them, so neither should you be about having a younger manager :)

Yes, there's the small "problem" that unlike an assistant, the manager also gets to decide your compensation... but you don't want to be working for managers that look for yes-men. There's no winning in that position, those kind of persons are seldom competent and will only drag you down; better find out sooner than later, and move out.
I think it might be fairer to say it was possible for countries that caught it early enough, and responded quickly enough to prevent it spreading out of control.

Unfortunately, I think it's a bit too late for the USA to do that now.
A lot of that run is from systematic under building, especially where markets are hottest. Construction starts will be hit super hard again. Even the boomers exiting may not be enough to meet demand now.

There are systemic issues with regulatory capture in real estate, those who benefit from limited supply (landowners) have blocked land from being used more efficiently, dramatically driving up its prices.
"model efficiently" implies optimizing a benefit for a cost. In this case, I think the nature of the cost has completely changed. The definition of efficiency will probably have to change also.
