But what is the average price for a 1BR in Grenoble? Because that’s what the study is looking at, not a cheap price for a studio. In Huntsville you can find a nice studio downtown for $500 or so.
If the difficulty of DRAM is in creating capacitors at that size, why haven't we seen a shift toward SRAM (6T, for instance), which is purely transistor-based?

Sure, you have to sacrifice more transistors for the same capacity, but newer processes can fit more on the chip, right? I recall from computer architecture classes that the benefit of DRAM is the ability to use fewer transistors, but if transistors are cheap...

(I'm sure I'm missing something here. Power consumption / heat generation? I also never really understood why SRAM continues to be so expensive, when it seems like it would obviously benefit from smaller processes.)

Perhaps have the manager give their decision making and their inputs in writing, have the employee review these and provide a response. After all, if the employee were good enough to have lasted six years under the scrutiny of other good peers, then a sudden firing needs investigation. That's how it is done at other places where people are valued.

This entire thread reminded me of the callous attitude toward firing shown in the movie "Margin Call". Is it all related to American culture that the rest of us don't understand?
I see a Tony Robbins book listed here. I know very little about him, and find it hard to get a dispassionate description about who he is, what he does, and why I should/shouldn't get to know his work better.
In some respects it is very similar, but I think the key differences were that the manager has complete discretion. Even if everyone said no, they could still hire you (as unwise as that might be). There was no hiring committee, no one had veto power.

But yes, you still had to pass a series of interviews. :)
Can anyone compare the threaded model to Google Chat threads ? Is it the same ?
I'm sure the use of that word goes back way further with illegally duplicating and sharing music, i.e bootleg recordings.

> Is minimum wage workers affording an average 1-2 bedroom apartment with no other householders a goal we have set?

Well, it's one of three possible goals:

1. Any worker can afford a roof over his/her head with their wage.

2. Universal public housing.

3. Millions of homeless people.

I actually think (2.) is just as important as (1.), but the US isn't very keen on economic activity for public benefit. Then again, it often seems like it's leaning towards (3.) ...
What is your argument? The point is that in one country you get the truth and in the other you don't. It doesn't take a genius to understand which is better.

> One cannot force the other world to adopt the same system US has, right?

Yes, you're right, China should stop forcing Tibet, Uyghurs, and Hong Kong to adopt their system.
> Even when there is a rental price cap, that tends to only work in the short term and exacerbates supply/demand problems long term. San Francisco, for example, implemented a rent control system in ~1980. Since then, only 40% of rental units are eligible for rent control and lots of potential rentals stay off the rental market. There are loopholes which allow conversion of a rent-controlled unit to a market-priced rental and no new built units are rent controlled, so there is a bifurcation of the market. Rent controlled units are very affordable, but increasingly scarce. Market priced units are growing (slowly) in numbers, but cost 2x - 5x what a comparable rent-controlled unit does.

True, there are real supply issues in some very hot markets, but few markets are like San Francisco.

So--why do you say that the price cap is what exacerbates the supply/demand problems long term, when you clearly understand the issue is that there are loopholes being utilized to reclassify units to get the back to market price? Those loop holes aren't accidents--the NIMBY groups put them there intentionally. But they aren't just NIMBY--they are also private investors who do not even live there.

I'm all for building additional housing to meet demand in general. However, it does need to be done carefully. By that I mean, upgrading train stations, roads, grocery options, etc. in order to deal with the increase in population. You can't just add 15,000 people to a neighborhood and not add parking or public transit capacity.
It will be interesting to see how the access was gained. I wonder how well this administrative system was protected. Did they have basic controls like:

1) Accessible via corporate VPN only (requiring 2fa)

2) Admin panel protected by 2fa plus necessary authentication+authorization controls

3) Audit trails

Short of cooperative access (device handover), I could only see an outsider gaining access to the system due to poor security practices or a remote access trojan getting installed. Though more likely, Twitter lacked these basic controls.

Verified accounts could probably be subject to 2nd person controls so IF someone were to modify an account via admin panel, then a 2nd support person (preferably in a different location), would have to vet the change.
it would be a stopgap measure until the algos are refined to filter out the videos without the need for human intervention. YouTube is being sued by Brad Garlinghouse for not taking action fast enough. My guess is my $10/hour solution is cheaper than $1000/hour lawyers.
Lol, intelligence from CIA sources is an opinion piece? Let me guess, Trump is the best president of your lifetime?

You don't think that hacking biden and obama will do that too?
Yup, I've made the same observation as well. If you somewhat want the "old" youtube back, block all cookies and other saved content from the domain. You'll get a better video recommendation experience, unfortunately at the cost of no logged in session.
If you're already logged in to a Twitter account you can deactivate 2FA by disabling the account (aka deleting with a 30 day window) and then re-enabling the account.
Obama and Biden are part of it
SIC is used across the government. I ran into it in my work because the USPS uses it, and I was working on software that implemented a couple of their change-of-address matching systems.

Having said that, if you step back a take a wide view of the situation, it's obvious that the 20th-century regulatory bodies are incredibly obsolete. I argue that they always held us back, but now it's something that even a child can see.

For example, check out Paul Romer's writings about the FDA's role in helping the Coronavirus spread: https://paulromer.net/fda_perpetual_process_machine/

(Note that Romer is a co-recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics, not some crank.)

I you really want to split semantics dead reckoning term[1] comes from predicting your self position(which the article talks about).

In a multivariable equation, you can't only look at one variable and call it a day.

How much has demand changed?

How much has the population of the USA grown?

How many immigrants has the US taken in?

How much more efficient is each marginal employee in a blue collar job now compared to then?

How well do USA exports compete with other countries?

How well does the USD exchange rate compete with the currencies of those other exporting countries?

How much have the average work benefits changed over the same period of time?

How much has the US cost of living grown?

What is the US labor participation rate?
A one bedroom is around 600€ a month in all the major French cities. The country is very homogeneous with salaries tightly coupled to the minimum wage.

Paris might be around 1200€ I think for a similar 1 bedroom but I am not very familiar with Paris. Maybe 1000-1500 depending on commute and location.
I don’t really think he should be naming who his unnamed sources “think” is behind an attack on this scale, especially with full name, city of origin, Instagram, suggested current location, age, etc. It feels a very, very small step away from doxxing to me.

Added to which he has somebody in the comments essentially calling for the death penalty over this. If he has this personal information and evidence, pass it to the relevant authorities and don’t sensationalise it on a blog. Technical details fine, but people’s personal information feels like it’s crossing a line on something like this.
Q2 was a lost quarter for rapid growth, but here’s how to navigate Q3
Ask HN: I gave myself to a movement and now I'm facing the consequences. Advice?
In June of 2017, three friends and I gathered at the Iowa Air National Guard base to protest the use of drones. I had recently viewed a video showing the aftermath of a drone attack, sanctioned by the President. I was furious. There were kids screaming, adults desperately trying to pull people from the wreckage; No one looked like they deserved what they had just received. I knew I could never unsee that. So, we filled a few barrels with cement and locked our arms inside them causing traffic to be blocked on the road next to the base where drones were being piloted. I knew I had to act.

Hours later, they "freed" us and we were charged. That was fair. Later, it was ordered that we were to pay $3,200 apiece because of what it costed the State to handle that situation. I didn't hear about it for nearly a year after the fact because I was going through deep financial struggles (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17936860). I began to get my life together (thanks to HN). Your advice helped a lot. Even the most brutal comments were meant well.

A couple of weeks ago I received a letter in the mail stating that I had until the end of this month to pay my fines or I'd be held in contempt. For those of you who are unfamiliar, this could mean jail-time, taking my license, etc. I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm being treated unfairly. I know for a fact that we were treated far better by the police than many of our brothers and sisters of color, historically (and today), for instance.

The reason I am seeking advice is mainly because I'm nearly in tears and very stressed. I can't setup a payment plan because of Covid (they can only do it in person) and everywhere I call says it's impossible. If anything, I'm just using this to cope with the stress.

Thanks, HN.

No, the framing of the article is disingenuous. If you want to make an argument that someone working minimum wage should be able to live in a separate 1BR, go ahead and make that argument. But that’s not what the article does. It claims there is a “housing affordability crisis” because minimum wage workers can’t afford an average 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. That isn’t an argument for raising the standard. It acts like we have already decided on that higher standard.

WSB is one offs and gets investigate. Other market players have historical data showing they are not one hit wonders. Like someone who hits 5/17 is different than one who hits 1/21
The 747s are certainly long in the tooth and A350s, 777s, 787s are better in almost every way, but it's still sad to see the 747s go. They're iconic and always so much fun (to me) to see taking off/landing.

Wouldn't be surprised if this means the A380 being retired isn't far behind, too. It may have some life left in it because LHR really needs those big planes due to limited landing slots, but if travel doesn't pick up soon and they can't fill the A380s... yikes.
Yes, I can totally see how that makes a lot of sense.

> What is wrong with roommates?

Perhaps it's just a reasonable limitation placed on the analysis because without it the data isn't as valuable to make conclusions from.

I'm not sure that statement here is necessarily a cultural desire (although I do know people who didn't want roommates, even as young single adults).
Yeah, I get that. Thanks a lot.

My plan would be to do something similar. Assess the situation (in terms of software, hardware, processes, etc.) and assess the people at hand and move on from there, like with any other managerial position.
It's bizarre to me that someone pulled off an account takeover of this magnitude and the end result was random people being scammed out of ~$100K in Bitcoin (that too allegedly). A single well-crafted Tweet from one of these accounts is probably worth more. Heck Twitter would have paid that much or more just in bug bounties for reporting this.
Double min wage is $16/hour.

If the recommended rent is 30% of your income... well, the most you could afford on twice minimum wage is $768.

Where I'm at the cheapest rentals are 900 or so (rural utah).

Seems to me it takes almost 3x minimum wage just to really be able to live comfortably, and many will never get to that level, because they already work 2-3 jobs just to keep a roof over the heads of their children.

There's a reason that $75k is the 'happiness level', it really is the lowest of the low wages that will make someone feel like they're not poor and 'needy' and over-worked, etc... That should be our goal, to get us to that level for everyone over 25 who isn't in school. (Or able to reach that w/ a full-time job (even at McDonalds) + GBI/UBI)
Sure but only because companies are such sticklers about not taking a minute of their time from your work (which is also evidenced by people staying late, often doing pretend work way after hours because the boss is chatting away and hasn’t left the office.

...all the code to which should be right in the Github Vault, right?

Idk, the hardware part seems much more difficult to me.
Here are the problems I've had with other build systems, as a noob, that I have not had with Cargo:

- Having to learn weird syntax and constantly look up the reference manual (CMake)
- Having to manually add source files (qmake)
- Sometimes it just needs a clean and nobody knows why (Visual Studio)
- Having to remember to set up debug and release builds and decide your directory layout for everything and figure out what 'a shadow build' is and who gives a crap since it all takes too much HDD space either way (qmake, CMake, make)

Also having tests built-in is really nice. Rust is the only language where I bother writing tests. Everything else makes it too hard, as if entry points into your binary are supposed to be rare and expensive.

Ah, so you’re not with a company that has a good healthcare plan. This is part of what leaves the US healthcare system so broken. The experience is drastically different if you have an employer with a “Cadillac” healthcare plan.

A recent tech company I worked for in the Bay Area charged about $50 pre-tax twice a month and I paid nothing out of pocket. The gulf between good healthcare coverage and bad coverage is what’s obscene in the US.

I haven’t seen an argument for how the good coverage is worse, which is why I always ask.
I guessed so too.

I'm familiar. China arrests Canadian spies and (threatens) executes Canadian drug dealers in retaliation for Meng. Just like the Garrats after Su Bin, and Fujita employees after Senkaku. They're calibrated retaliation that separates diplomacy and business. China is a surveillance state that dismantled every CIA asset in the country 10 years ago. They're not arresting random people among the 100,000s expats in China. Plenty of guilty ones to pick. Don't be a spy in China and don't sell drugs. Or do if your country isn't in a diplomatic spat with China, you'll still get privileged legal recourse compared to locals. FVEY spies should leave GTFO of China, especially Canadians. China is still UNDER retaliating for Meng.

I personally find threads better for actually getting work done while more focused chat like in Slack is better for “water cooler” talk. I know it isn’t the same for everyone, but I’ve found the orgs using Teams to be a bit more productive and a bit less chatty.
Thanks for that link! I had not known that story - but in retrospect I know I've seen references to it a number of times.

The story is so wild that... I always assumed it was a fictional trope, and didn't think to look for a real story behind it. Glad to be educated.
For 400-450 you get a studio (think less than 25 sqm 270 sqft ). Typical student accommodation. That's absolutely not what US/UK call a 1 bedroom.

A one bedroom is about 600€ a month.
Honestly, for however much this project either (a) is a genuine archeological move for the preservation of information or (b) to get good press, all I genuinely thought when this happened is "aw shucks - wish i fixed those bugs before they zapped it onto film and flew it to santa clause".
Many startups and hip companies don't do VPNs anymore - unfortunately they also dont do Zero Trust (which would require machine certs for everything and be enforced) - so stuff is often available over Internet with password auth + maybe MFA. Attacker who gets hold of cookie or bearer token wins.

And the best part, support personnel often doesnt have MFA, because its outsourced to countries where smart phones with Authenticator apps are not as common to own for the regular person. I'm not joking.
This is an interesting point I have not contemplated in my musings on the issue so far. Something I should have thought of earlier since my dad came out of retirement and thus is taking up a position that otherwise could have been occupied by the promotion of someone who graduate more recently.

Thanks for sharing it.
That's a really cool use case for the library ! I think the calibration stage could be made easier with some "click as fast as you can on the randomly appearing circle on screen" gamification, and just assume that people look at what they click on by default. It could be some little character changing color at random and you need to click it at that point, to make sure the user keeps his eyes on it for a few seconds before clicking.
but still, leaving early by any amount of time is a lot worse than leaving late

Unless you have a tight next connection, in which case leaving late often means arriving late too, and thus missing that one.

I'm feeling a bit stupid myself, because I'm not following the implication here. Why would Hegdahl's accusation cause the VC to leave Stratton alive, or to check him for signs of torture, or to pay him any special attention at all? If Hegdahl hadn't ever mentioned him, why would they kill Stratton specifically?
