After years of ever-deepening privacy violations in the US, I'm surprised that this hasn't passed yet.

I mean, the government already legally demands that all the large corporations make them a copy of all of your communications that pass through them. So why should it be legal for you to encrypt any of it without them being able to decrypt it? How are they supposed to spy on you effectively with just the meta-data, you know?
they were downvoted. downvoting costs reputation and can lead to a dead post. downvoting means, “don't argue this position again”. fair to say they were cancelled i think.
> A $10/hr job with no benefits is tremendously different than a $60K/yr job with health care.

It's also tremendously different than not having a job at all. We need to be at "okay" before we can be at "good".

And $10/hr is a living wage in most of the US. It ain't comfortable by any means, and doesn't leave room for savings, but it's doable in areas that have a reasonable cost of living (namely: not SF or NYC). That's not to say we can't or shouldn't do better, but it's a start.
Regardless, having a double digit percent of your income held hostage every year is not exactly a win for the worker. Rent is due on day 1, not day 365.

I am an experienced developer of distributed systems, these days spending a lot of time helping Fortune 500 companies deal with application performance management, practice DevOps and move/debug complex workloads in a cloud.

I spent 20 years in professional services doing sofware development, systems integration, performance improvements and refactoring/modernization for hire.

The core thing about me is that I "get things done", going to considerable lengths to figure out complicated technical challenges.

I am tenacious in execution and proactive in solving any obstacles in the way.

If your organization has a challenging project that would benefit from having an innovative, focused, proactive, intelligent and hard-working partner, please let me know.I would love to talk to you!
But that's exactly what I just did. Highlighted some text in a news article and Share'd to my email client, it dropped the text in, quoted, to the body of an email with the link to the article under it.
In California it was added onto our unemployment check; not even a checkbox to click. The unemployment web site was difficult to get into for a few days, though; I'm sure people trying to apply for the first time had trouble.

What was your experience?

We probably won't.
I'm just imagining you with some sort of force meter analyzing exactly how much effort is required to plug in a cable.

But who are the customers?

Why do investors need orders filled instantly?

It seems the only customers of this service are day-trading troublemakers.
I personally find the 'email abandoned carts' behavior to be a dark pattern
Prop 13?
Thunderbolt 3 (and probably USB4) requires chipped ('active') cables at lengths over 0.5m, but considering you're pumping 40Gbit of data over it, it kind of makes sense.

For Lightning, yeah, there's basically no reason except for the 'Made For iPhone' program, and it isn't even effective at that since Chinese cable makers just clone the keys of the official stuff.
Of course there are jobs. They may not pay as much as they used to, and they may not even be in one's chosen field, but both of my companies are hiring full-time workers with benefits and all.
Not even the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
Instead of trying to silence the loud minority, a better solution would be to return a proportional voice to the silent majority. One way for that would be open voting where people vote not for political parties but directly for laws, and can trade votes between each other.
I don't disagree with your response, but I disagree with what I understand to be your initial point: the primary reason that the F-15's interface is this particular way is because cost was not a barrier. While that is part of it, I don't think it's most of it. I pointed out operator training time, which is assumed to be huge.

But there's also a fundamental difference between a fighter pilot and someone driving a car. For a fighter pilot, everything they have to be able to do has to be at a hand's reach in a second. This is an operational requirement for both the "fighter" and "pilot" sides. Driving a car is different; there are many tasks that normal car drivers don't need to do while driving. It's okay for them to do them parked, after fiddling with a bunch of other stuff.

My point: it's not just cost which determines the difference, but training and task requirements.
Anyone operating any business should be aware of the importance of this principle. It's also relevant to those of us merely trying to survive `normal' life.
I wonder why Google didn't include a "cleanup" routine that empties the shopping cart after the data is collected. It seems like it would be a trivial thing to do, unless I am missing something. I guess the answer is because it would not benefit them in any way.
Are you in SF?

I just left a place where the landlord wasn't able to find anyone to replace me with two months notice and a 20% reduction.

Lots of places aren't reducing the monthly rate outright, but are giving 1-2 months free. So a $3100 rate would actually be $2841 or $2583. This benefits them because it affects property valuation. There's other factors involved too, but this seems like the primary one.
I'm an Engineering manager at Flipkart (still very hands-on). Are you hiring for leadership roles?
We're comparing it to cars with touchscreens, and I guarantee you that the first time I find that switch (parked in the garage), I'll remember where it is later. With a touchscreen, I'll always have to look.

Also, neither a car nor a fighter jet assumes an untrained operator. We can't forget that you get a few dozen hours of practical training before you're allowed to drive unsupervised, and that's more than enough to familiarize yourself with the user interface.

So the question boils down to: does the interface facilitate operating without looking at it, or not? Physical buttons do. Non-shit touchscreen UIs could, but they don't exist. Touchscreens used in practice don't.
My apartments reached out to me to offer same price lease which has never happened before in any apartment. Good luck!
This is a larger problem with software archival. I suspect a lot of the media created during the fledgeling decades of the "digital" era will simply vanish.

I'd add excessively dirty loads to the ground clearance issue with minivans.

For example: I would not _ever_ haul chicken manure in my Toyota Sienna (even if I'd haul some muddy mountain bikes post-ride)
When you say "Americans", do you refer to US, North America or both Americas (North and South) ?
The problem with RVs (as someone who spent most of last year on the road living in one) is that they are built like garbage, with the poorest quality materials and zero innovation. It is clear that no one has shaken up that industry in decades and the incumbents are lazy. The distribution chain has fat profits for everyone. Huge opportunity for someone to disrupt.
companies don't have to pay as many employees anymore so that means more money possible to be returned to shareholders

what's not to get about that

let me break it down:

money from a business operation goes into account. some money goes to costs such as employees. the rest doesn't go anywhere but is owned proportionally by shareholders. now the employees are fewer and most never needed to be there to begin with, but people - the clients - keep putting money into the account. the proportional amount for shareholders keeps growing, so other people are willing to pay an existing shareholder more for the existing share.
Americans are as much sheep with beer now as they were when your choices were Bud, Michelob and Schlitz. Overhopped beer is disgusting and generally (badly) hiding infections or stale malt tastes. The only good thing you can say about it, besides the fact that it's estrogenic enough to make boobs grow[1], is it tastes as shitty when it travels as it does when it's fresh.

This just seems wrong. Why not give employees sick days and say don’t come in if you don’t feel well. Why go so crazy like this?

Or even taking your temperature makes more sense than this.
> And $10/hr is a living wage in most of the US

Terribly disconnected comment. Most single bedroom apartments even in BFE would eat your paycheck.
Also because, you know, a goodly chunk of Seattle was ransacked, covered with graffiti, riddled with gunfire, responsible for at least 5 shootings in a month, looted, boarded up, and deprived of any protection at all.
Wait so you dont tie your iPhone cable around a tree and swing on it while your phone is charging! Shocker. I'm in the same boat at you, not a single Apple cable failure in 10 years of using Apple products.
Miami (FL) doesn't close. When I lived there not long ago, there was a period where I was between jobs where I came home after sunrise every day of the week. If you're trying to stay out past 2am in Miami and not able to, you're not trying... at all. Bars/clubs usually close at 5am, but I believe are only required to close for 1 hour a day, so there are afterhours spots.

Ha ha, money printer go brrr. That's basically it. Enough artificial stimulus and enough buying of junk debt and investors know there are profits to be made in the short term. The fact that it's handing the federal government more power and ruining the economy in the long term doesn't matter for today's stock price. Don't fight the fed, don't fight the tape.
Craft beer craze seems to overpower any ability to discern flavor subltieties across so many offerings. Won't balme consumers to shop by the labels, one craftier looking than other. Even established brands like the MH can drown in the colorful sea of the labels. So gone the days, when I readily paid for overweight luggage just to bring home a case of UFO from Boston.

These days, I'm very much utilitarian about beer, as long as on touch it's colder than room and not much more than 2bucks a bottle. In most cases (for me), the buzz and burp are just unwanted side-effects, so cool water sans ice serves the function ... free of charge. I pick up the missed carbs from the dessert :)
Should that rule also apply to retailers of other products, so they pay 100% tax if they turn over wholesale products too quickly? Why or why not?

My Struggle with Impostor Syndrome (2018)
I am thinking that forcing tens of thousands of employees to show up at office buildings and live in apartments is somewhat ridiculous, especially considering issues like food. Duplexes and fourplexes are probably a good compromise.
Eh, I am sure you could convince yourself it isn't immoral... everyone in HN seems to think things like google analytics are bad because of the privacy implications, and doesn't have a problem blocking them (which would also 'mess with a/b tests'). You could just argue that you are hindering their user spying.

Not a great argument, but good enough to allow a developer to sleep at night.
Yes! That's how I spent a lot of my spare time too in adolescence. There was a forum called Kongrehack run by a Swedish guy where game-hacks were shared. Initially we used Cheat Engine to modify select memory locations in games, but the game creators came up with better defences to obscure the easy hacks.

Somebody created an entire browser - called something like Niflheim but I can't remember the exact name - designed for the purpose of cheating Kongregate APIs. Finally, a subversive guy found a way to submit directly to the "I have won a badge API" and wrote a program to submit all the badges in batch. This took the fun out of winning achievements in games, but introduced many of us to the world of coding, automation, and hacking. Why grind for hours when you can cheat the scoreboard in seconds?

I also developed a way to cheat on Kongai, which was one of my favourite games on Kongregate. However I got bored and moved onto other things in life shortly after. If you were active in this community around 2008, we probably talked to each other back then.
Good points.

But will the real manufacturers goods, and now tech, accept such a currency in the future?

Especially, in the light of erratic political leadership that could renege on agreements and impose sanctions unilaterally??
Of course that is an option. I just don't think it's the only acceptable option, and I think what Apple does is perfectly acceptable and makes a lot of sense to me. Apple doesn't want its customers to play the game of agreeing to pay for something and then being surprised 7 days later when they are billed because they forgot to cancel.
> A whopping 150 watts.

Where are you getting that from? I don't see any power figure quoted in the article.

As it happens, I worked on that truck while I was an engineer at GM. Its 110V outlets could provide up to 2400 Watts.
Dark pattern or not, it's super effective - particularly when accompanied with a coupon ;)

Besides, the user is opting-in to receiving these emails. They don't have to provide an email address - so some are probably playing the game and seeing if they get a coupon or not.

As an aside - if the internet worked the way SV hipster brogrammers thought it should work, nobody would use it.

Yes, ads are crazy effective - you can ignore or block them, we don't care because enough people don't block them and are happy to click.

Yes, emails are crazy effective - you can ignore or opt-out or never opt-in, we don't care, you just cost us money if you're not engaged anyway so we'd rather you not be on our mailing list.
You get to a certain age where you think you've seen everything. Then something like this comes along and you realize you haven't seen anything.
When and why did news cease being news and start being short stories and opinion? This entire article could have been cut down to the last few paragraphs and nothing of value would have been lost.

Look at The New York Times in 1921 [0]. Generally the stories are factual and to the point. The entire front page seems to be pure news. There's very little storytelling here, at most there are a few timelines of events.

Look at The New York Times today [1]. There's a bunch of factual and useful Coronavirus information but ~15% of the page is dedicated to "Opinion", the second article appears to be pure speculation, the third article is a bunch of storytime fluff around a little bit of news and the front page has a mix of actual news and opinion pieces being passed off as news.

When did this happen? Why? Did people lose interest in actual news? Is there less actual news to report?

Perhaps this is regional? Take for example the story about the San Quentin prison. NYTimes [2] has the same drawn out nonsense as this Google story while Aljazeera [3] adds a lot of background but sticks to factual reporting.

Ask HN: SQL Help
I work for a company where a new feature will be launched. Let's call the existing feature A and the new feature B. We want to track the adoption of new users for the new feature B.
Using SQL, how can I get the new account ids for the new feature B that have no usage on existing feature A. In other words, how can I get the new account that are being signed up for feature B that do not signed up for feature A?
Oddly specific, but this is such a great plausible example that I'm going to use from now on.
Home equity loans or cash out refinances. What you pick is determined by your financial models based on interest rates, origination fees, etc. Typical carrying cost math.

Once you have enough properties to bump up against Fannie or Freddie GSE underwriting guideline limits (~10 properties), you transition into commercial lending, where you build a relationship with a bank and they lend against your combined portfolio.

> Has he explored working holiday opportunities in other countries, perhaps Australia or Europe? Not a solution to the employment situation in the US, but perhaps an improved chance of success.

Why are people downvoting this? Teenagers in EU and Australia routinely travel around the world for jobs. Once they grow up, they become excellent hires at "real" jobs because of skills gained at such jobs.
It kills people, lots of them small, most of them not in the actual truck. It is a gigantic moral hazard.
When I saw title of the post I thought it would be talking about principles that you learn the first time you have to write production code, such as reliability, maintainability, validation (testing, continuous integration, rollout processes), performance tuning, security, contingency planning (backups), etc. Those are definitely part of the steep learning curve right after you learn to sling code but before you are able to work in a team setting on apps/services with substantial usage.

I suppose the actual contents of the article makes sense for apps on a specific platform, but I feel like there's a more generalizable set of lessons that fit the bill for "all of the problems you get once your hacked together app/website/service has real users."
Ruminations on Front End Architecture
If you drive a manual and park on a hill, you can apply this method pretty effectively.
I don't know about that. Being an autoworker no longer pays that well from what I understand. There are tiered levels of pay depending on how long ago you were hired, etc. It's not like the old days where you earned what the guy with 30 years of seniority earned per hour. Even the benefits are different with some folks who have been around for a couple of decades enjoy a different level of coverage or vacation, etc.
For what it's worth, I recently moved apartments in downtown Seattle and the there's little in the way of downward price movement... yet. I shopped around at most of the buildings down here (2BR prices) and didn't find too much in the way of desperation, but this is all anecdotal I suppose.

We stayed downtown for my wife who supposedly would be "back in the office" later this year (she doesn't drive), but I really wish I had gone with my gut and pushed for us to move further out. There is absolutely no benefit to being in Seattle proper right now, and it would not surprise me to see more people leave (I've considered just becoming rent-responsible on the lease and eating the cost, it's annoying me to death).

(If you're talking about anywhere near Cap Hill, nobody wants to sign a lease there after they tear gassed the entire neighborhood a few weeks ago)
Anecdotal evidence, I was able to negotiate $200 off my $3,300 monthly rent in Los Angeles for a 2 bed / 2 bath 1,000 sqft. I think I could have negotiated $300 off but just went with the $200 off for 7 months.

We haven't signed the new lease and are potentially rethinking of signing since cases are starting to spike again and surrounding areas are looking really attractive for similar accommodations at ~$2,500 monthly rent.

We're hoping to buy a house within the next year.
