I've heard a second hand story about some titanium razors made internally at <large razor company> which were given out to employees as gifts. They lasted for years, but could never be released as they simply wouldn't be able to turn a profit.
“Ignarrogant” I could see as a word...
There are a variety of food tech startups, some of them would see her as a (potential) user.

"User" maybe isn't the best word, but she's definitely the kind of person who has problems that food tech startups would care about solving. If people are ignoring her, they shouldn't be. But neither should they (according to my interpretation of Y-Combinator advice) be following her solutions. If Hyunjoo knew how to solve these problems, they wouldn't be unsolved problems and there would be no startup in solving them.

My point was that if people are listening to your problems and not solutions, it may feel like they're ignoring you, even if they aren't.
Isn't that what code review is for? To me that sounds like arguing against string formatting because someone could think it's ok for SQL queries.

If you don't have an emergency fund of money, begin saving one now.

You don't want to get ill and have no emergency money left besides.
Why do you believe it has to be firesale prices? Has intra-firm competition in the US for assets suddenly disappeared?
Yes, try a new one you will feel the difference.
Maybe one day, but it involves changing the entire system. Example: I’ve been an attorney for a decade, have paid off my debt, have a very manageable mortgage and rental income, and could easily take a 40% paycut to work fewer hours. I would love to do this. I could not have done this 10 years ago though when I started practice - I had too much debt, rented a condo, and had no assets to speak of. So employers are in a bind because filling part-time positions can be difficult as most people entering the professional labor market for the first time need full-time work because of the debt required to get there. So if I get to work part-time now, once I leave my office my employer would struggle to fill my job. Tech is a little a different, maybe, but most people that start a family and buy a home want/need at least one person working 40+ hours/wk to pay the bills and get insurance (another poorly managed but intertwined issue). Also, even considering this proposition is truly a luxury that only a tiny fraction of the population has. Which doesn’t add to the conversation, but I find it depressing.
Correct, I believe they hold 5% in Activision Blizzard.
Treating SEPT1 as a date is behavior that will be correct for the vast majority of users, be they noob or experienced, and only incorrect for a very tiny minority of users who are doing things related to genetics. This sort of auto-completion feature is orthogonal to the noob/power user axis, except insofar as the user is expected to know how to circumvent this behavior if/when they need to.
The article is talking about three months living expenses at poverty level, not unexpected medical bills. The fact that medical procedures are ridiculously expensive if you don't have insurance should not be a reason not to save for emergencies, and it's definitely not related to the findings of the study.
pretty sure it’s more complicated than that eg H1B status means leave the country if you’re fired, and to assume you cannot he stressed about a job or life because you make a nice salary is a very naive take.
What does this "open up" actually mean? A bunch of American companies have set up shop in China, which was not possible 50 years ago. Now it's common for huge entertainment properties like blockbuster movies and the NBA to get a massive share of revenue from China. Video game consoles are now legal. And of course, China is now essential in the production of most American products.
> A new study from Oregon State University found that 77% of low- to moderate-income American households fall below the asset poverty threshold, meaning that if their income were cut off they would not have the financial assets to maintain at least poverty-level status for three months.

Low-to-Moderate income, if defined by the median being moderate, would count up to 50% as a whole group.

77% of 50% of the population is NOT "Most Americans", another deceitful headline not supported by data.

"I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership"

And also states that "women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading" due to biological reasons such as "higher agreeableness".
The point is, that is how this should be done.
>I'm sorry, but Damore claimed that women were biologically incapable of leadership and programmer roles

>I’m simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.

im sorry but im not seeing the connection between these two statements here

do you know what equal representation means?
Yes, by mirroring China’s authoritarianism and restricting the freedom of Americans. I’m living overseas and now my government is telling me I can’t use WeChat? Telling me who I can and cannot trade with, etc.

Restrictions on trade with China are attacks on our freedom.

Someone with unemployment insurance is classed as going to starve in a few months without a job. Except they paid into that. For the purposes of unemployment, insurance is saving.

Someone without retirement savings is declared to be unable to retire. Except for Social Security and Medicare. They paid into those. Those are saving.

What these miss is that plenty of saving is being done by people, but it is done through government programs so it does not get classified as saving.

A Cold War scenario is far more likely. Remember that the tension with the Soviets was far, far, higher, and that never turned into a full-on war.
your post has just as much hubris. you seem to be suggesting the no lockdowns would have no impact on the economy. There are plenty of knowledgable people that believe the impact on the economy would be even worse without lockdowns. I'm not saying they are right, just pointing out you seem to be implying there's only 2 possibilities

1. we lockdown and the economy goes to bad which kills people because of lack of income

2. we don't lockdown and the economy magically stays strong.

There's other possibilities.

3. we don't lockdown, the pandemic kills millions, the economy goes down more than if we had locked down.

4. ??
That's my point. Why not let the sheep live more or less wild on the site?
All of those companies except Google listened to their dopey customers.

I remember playing with S3 and pitching early EC2 after reading a story about how the New York Times digitized their archives, a project my then employer was doing for our records at ridiculous expense. My director loved it, but legal shot it down for 100 reasons that turned out to be nonsense.
Why is this downvoted? It’s true. Everything the US is doing, China has been doing for decades one thousand fold. Whether that’s right or wrong is a different issue.
What's amazing is that people, to this day, take a personal weakly-worded memo as scientific fact.
Blockbuster? Huh?
No it means US has a leader who is finally thinking rationally about China, instead of falling into the greed trap that most other politicians have been stuck in.

In my opinion, if China wants to be a part of the global economy, China must let the globe be part of its own economy. Facebook, Google, Twitter have been systematically forced out of China. Why should we let Chinese social media sites in our countries?

The specific act of banning TikTok seems petty and uncalled for, but we have to start somewhere.
> and do so within clear parameters.

I'd disagree with this part pretty strongly. What clear parameters are you thinking of, besides "get rid of my enemies"? Can you formulate a "no endorsing violence" policy that keeps the current protests/riots while banning Trump's latest idiocy, or one for "no racial discrimination" that keeps White Fragility and bans "they're not sending their best... Murderers, rapists" or similar? That kicks off Infowars or Richard Spencer while leaving Malcolm X or Ta-Nehisi Coates? Sure, the political right tends to cross those lines further - but it's often a case of degree and direction, not kind.

I think it's either a really hard line to draw in a viewpoint-neutral fashion, or a huge political fight. (Whether you choose to ban Trump without the Left, or you try to ban both, people will be furious)

Actually my neighbour has a flock of 7 or so "Pitt Island" sheep. They literally do just run wild on his land. They get no attention at all as far as I know.
This is a rough situation. The guy was pulling on an important thread to unravel a complex issue and get us all transparency. And then he wrote a company wide memo that called Mark a "robber baron, slaver, and plunderer", directly blamed Mark for covid deaths due to his implied support of Trump, and levied a bunch of other personal attacks.

I can't imagine any person at any company who wouldn't get fired after publicly speaking to the CEO that way.

It's a shame, because if this guy had an emotional intelligence he could have personally driven change. Now he's a martyr at best.
> This logic breaks down when you get an unexpected medical bill, or the car you rely to get to your job breaks down and you get fired, etc.

How?

I have experienced all of those things -- except replace "getting fired" with "my business failed".

My "oh shit" fund -- six months' worth of expenses -- got me through every one of those personal disasters. It gave me peace of mind, and the financial space to take care of myself, recover, and get back on the horse.

It was empowering.

Anybody can do this, if they want. It isn't easy, mind you.

It takes a big shift in mindset, time, and in my case, paying the price for a lot of poor decisions.

You aren't going to live in a trending part of town, or hit the bar every week. You'll cook at home a lot, probably live in a shared house, might even share a car or ride a bike to work. I've done all of those things.

And it is harder than it used to be.

Boomers don't get that.

Wages are lower.

Medical costs are insane -- and neither the establishment Republicans or Democrats have done anything to fix that, mind you.

Society encourages people to make horrible decisions, like borrowing insane amounts of money to buy the "college experience" and earn a worthless degree.

And the more of those traps you have fallen into, the harder climbing out of the hole will be.

Myself, I had to pay off a bunch of stupid debt.

But once you start to live below your means, and you experience that freedom, you never want to go back to the spend-everything-you-make lifestyle.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. US companies don’t have to trade with China.

But the US banning trade with China is nothing but an attack on Americans and my freedom to trade and communicate.
Facebook is a private company and is subject to competition. The government is not. We might have worried about Prodigy and CompuServe restricting speech (and we literally did, and that got us Section 230), but they're irrelevant now. We might have worried about MySpace, but it's irrelevant now. But the decisions the US government made in the 1990s and 2000s are incredibly relevant today, despite multiple changes in which party had the upper hand.

The Constitution places restrictions on what the government can do because government overreach is a particular, unique problem. It also provides for popular election to the government for the same reason - and nobody says that it's bad that we can't elect Facebook's leaders.

Now, perhaps the argument is that Facebook has grown too large and too powerful, to the point where Facebook censorship is worse than government censorship. If that's happened, that means we should have regulated Facebook a long time ago (and if we don't, we're on our way to your favorite cyberpunk dystopia where corporations are the real governments), and we should get around to doing so. But it hardly means that we should give in, treat Facebook like a government, and start saying "Facebook shall make no policy" any more than it means that we should vote for Facebook's CEO.
If Apple/Google are forced to take out the apps from their stores, would they have to take them out of the US only or worldwide?
You can also just run the Developer release, which is mostly meant for authoring new extensions, but does respect the about:config flag to disable signature checking.

Mozilla is in a tough spot as a browser vendor, since a sizable portion of their userbase is actually well served by the restrictions. Happily it's also open source, allowing true power users to do what they want with minimal fuss.
Open up means become a modern democratic state with respect for human rights, or at the very least, be on the road to one. The opposite has happened and the pundits from the 90s look pretty silly right about now.
Your direction of thoughts is right. But this particular rule is completely opposite to your conclusions. Ж and Ш are "hard" consonants so by ear И after them always sounds like Ы. But the rule tells us to write И instead of Ы. This rule of Russian spelling does not make any sense that's why every first-grader knows it.

The difference is that a lockdown can predictably drop r0 below 1 over a relatively finite amount of time. It doesn't need to be ongoing, as in your examples.

Also, the U.S. did not conduct a lockdown. By all means, look to the countries that did, and see how many new homeless that created.

Sure, some things are niche until they aren’t... but some things really are niche and will stay that way.

My first thought was, someone who makes a hard-to-find part for a low volume vehicle. Take, for instance, the original Tesla Roadster. It sold about 2500 units. Maybe they have a problem that happens in 10% of units. You have a maximum of 250 customers, assuming none are scrapped and you provide the only potential solution.

These are the sorts of situations in which you’ll find very little competition. For a lot of people with niche interests there’s always “that one dude on the forums” who is the only person with the solution.

The same kind of situations arise often in enterprise too, and it’s the kind of things that internal teams or contractors might one-off. But, if you make an off-the-shelf product for it, you’ll be the only game in town!
It’s not beyond consideration, but I find it tiring to read on HN over and over that the US has it all wrong and we should look to Europe as a model. Unemployment is much higher in Europe, economic growth is near non-existent, wages are much lower. Every system has pros and cons, but it’s time to stop acting like the American system is a failure.

(And for the record, I think a national health care system would improve this country tremendously. I’ve never understood why Republicans don’t embrace it as helping small businesses and entrepreneurs. Too many people are tied to a job simply for the health insurance. Imagine the potential in this country if everyone is free to pursue greater business ideas unburdened by the thought of “where’s our health care coming from?”

Don't they prevent some of our companies from operating there though? And then developed their own competing solutions free from competition. That's not exactly a free market, is it?
How Covid Has Impacted Work for Lawyers in Caboolture
If there is one learning for Caboolture Law Firms to come from the COVID pandemic it is that, for the most part, lawyers enjoy working from home. There has been an overall acceptance of flexible working arrangements and a desire to embrace this pattern of work in the future.
> Combine that with a system that can be brutal if you don't have the means

And there's the crux of it. "The system", when it's working towards a sustainable civilisation, must provide some level of protection for those who don't have the ability to make good decisions. Scammers and advertising as one example. Regulation and fines that are enforced and sufficiently discouraging.

It's too easy to profit off the bottom end.

Finding where protections intersect with personal freedoms / responsibility is the perpetual impossibility.
You may have a hard time getting a new job at 60% time, but I bet you’d have better luck starting full time at a company and working your way up to it. That’s what father did for the last 10ish years of his career as a programmer. He started working full time then transitioned to 80% time at 80% pay, then 60%, then 40%. He says it was a really good way to ease into retirement.
"Stupid poor people. They should learn to stay in their lane. Leave the good things in life to the folks who deserve it."

You have a point, but it comes across as insensitive when you fail to account for the uneven playing field most folks are struggling against. As a former "let them die" libertarian, I think I've come to the place where I realize it's not so clear cut. We have an economic system with non-linear results. Being wealthy usually makes you more wealthy with less effort than it takes to escape poverty.

After being financially devastated by a divorce, I am humbled and understand why people pursue short-term pleasure. Life is short and often brutal. I don't fully blame people who use whatever means available to find comfort, pleasure and happiness. Yes, I know wealth is not a sustainable path to those things, but it definitely works in the short term.
Perhaps - but if every time that someone argues in an unapproved direction they're called a * ist, it's irritating to tell the difference between someone genuinely trying to help and Richard Spencer.

And anything that says * ism might be a smaller problem than thought, that * ism is getting better, or that our current efforts to reduce * ism are ineffective... Well, that's an unapproved direction.

Also, if I know there's no way to convince someone of something, I'm generally going to stop caring about what they think. (Because it's always going to be the same, and nothing I can do will change that)
Quite an interesting read!
Django migrations solve this by asking for a dependency graph, and verifying that there's only one leaf node, so to speak.

So if you merge in separate scripts you will need to linearize by hand.

On top of this, there's a table within the database tracking which migrations are run, so you don't accidentally rerun these for example.

If by policy you mean trade policy, yes. By any another metric, probably not. Certainly not policies on freedom for instance, if you value that sort of thing. It's time the United States levels the trade game with China.
I can't believe there's an actually a debate at all about what's going on here.

There are multiple sources indicating that conservative sites work in concert to amplify, at best, specious content and at worst, complete misinformation.

Facebook selectively enforces discipline on these sites because:

1. Conservative information (Fox News, Charlie Kirk, Breitbart, etc.) is consistently shared more than other content

2. They don't want the optics of making it seem like they're censoring conservative voices because they're afraid of the blowback, so they're hiding behind the veil of "It's not our job"

3. They don't want to lose the ad spend running up to the election season nor do they want to lose the vanity metrics of DAU/MAU/etc because they're a publicly traded company

Zuck is a feckless coward, full stop. And while I don't know his personal political leanings, this non-policy certainly has the earmarks of Thiel and Joel Kaplan all over it.

Speech is protected by law in many cases and that makes it tolerable; it can be inappropriate in some cases, but that is not a reason to censor it.

Try launching your app in China and see how much freedom you have. Regulating international trade (via agreements) is one of the foremost responsibilities of the federal government, and if this move forces them to open up their economy to fair competition it's a net benefit for everyone.
