According to this[1], with 140k you're in the top 5% Americans, so you're not far off... but regulating immigrant's salaries on a regional basis seems unfeasible, as they're free to move anywhere in the country AFAIK, just like any other US resident.

I used to use MVC frameworks a lot. The problem I ran into was as soon as you have one thing on the page that can't survive the reload, you can never reload again. Cue 3k lines of JQuery and regret.

I think of it this way, would you stream pre-rendered markup to a native iOS, Android, or Windows app? The thought of it is crazy, who would ever do that.

I think most people agree that the web is getting closer to native all the time. I think we're reaching the pivot where you're better off using React and co for any kind of interactivity. Page reloads are already used in media to portray slow/old websites. I don't see that getting better

I'm not calling you a liar.

> I really thought your premise was that "too much licorice" would be what the person felt.

You just said that you thought my premise "had A) relevance to taste", and that's what I don't think you could argue in good faith.

> Because noticing "a weird symptom" won't save your life unless you can figure out the puzzle fast enough.

Yes, there's always someone oblivious enough to die for the most ridiculous reasons. Hence people die from water poisoning for chugging down amounts of water that defy common sense, people that die because they don't have the mental capacity to realize that eating spoonfuls of salt is harmful, and apparently people that die because there is no question in their minds whether a licorice based diet might be harmful.

> Did you not look at the article I linked? "Very few specific appetites for particular nutrients have been identified in humans. The most robustly identified are salt appetite/sodium appetite."

That doesn't substantiate the idea that the perceived taste of salt changes as you eat more of it.

> Also here's why it's not entirely ridiculous to think something like that about licorice: People will figure out associations over time, so you can in fact have a learned ability to detect too much licorice. That's what I thought you were arguing.

Forgive me for not understanding your point, but if on one hand you assume that I'm arguing for the existence of "inbuilt licorice systems" (a really dumb point that a dumb person would make) and on the other hand that I'm arguing for the existence of a learned association (an interesting point that's at least worthy of examination, though ultimately not my point), you aren't making things easy for me.

I'd be surprised if that was a thing. In my experience Mediterranean cooking traditionally revolves around fish, beans and vegetables.
Whilst I like the separation of () and [] etc I am not sure I like the recursive syntax or requirement. A bit ugly.
We had such pressure-operated dish-washer in 1958. It operated spendidly until the kitchenmaid advertized how convenient it was. They realized it wasted about a ton of heated water everytime, no recirculation of any kind. And this heat was created by janitor shovelling coal in the boilerroom for hours everyday. No central heating plants in Helsinki at that time.
It's a good saying; every once in a while there's a post on HN about yet another household robot, but people forget that things like washing machines and dishwashers are the only robots that will actually end up in people's homes in the long run; things that try to be more generic will remain hobby / research projects for a good while longer.

> I just received a seven day suspension from Twitter for calling Q followers retarded.

It could be due to some filter feeling that it is inappropriate to use “retarded” as an insult, because it is disrespectful to people with actual mental disabilities.

I am around forty, but twice in the last couple of years a person half my age has taken great offense to me using the term “mentally retarded” to describe people who are actually, well, mentally retarded. So, I suspect that the euphemism treadmill is gradually consigning “retarded” to obsolete vocabulary in any context, and those who continue to use it may be seen as horrible people.
I don't understand why that would make it infeasible. Whichever place they choose, they have to get a job that's actually highly paid for that area.
Let me provide the counter

(A) The fact that silicon valley gets access to global talent which make sthe companies much more successful and massively increases the number of jobs available providing far more jobs for US citizens than if the visa program didn't exist

(B) The H1B visa holders are earning far more than they would get by remaining in their home country, and whilst they're bonded labour in the US they can always return to their home country leaving them at a minimum with a choice between a better job in the US or the same situation they had in their home country anyway.

(C) The US gains a bunch of highly intelligent, highly taxable employees who will likely eventually become citizens and can then create startups as well as providing a larger labour pool for the people who are starting companies.

All of your critiques are comparing H1B visas against some imaginary system where people can come to work in the US with no restriction, and let's remind ourselves these changes are from a thoroughly anti-immigration administratrion. The alternative to the H1B system is no H1B system, which is why it's been so difficult to reform. There is no law getting out of congress that reduces the restrictions on immigration.
Wow, I was told Microsoft only hires people with at least a BS degree. I guess that's mot entirely true.
There's a little more detail about the Apollo situation on a post [1] by Neal Strickberger on Candlepower Forum:

"Chicken wire! Turns out this was added for the Apollo program, when they used the TVS-3s to light the pad. A 20kW short-arc fed with 400Hz 3phase fullwave rectified unfiltered power produces lots of RFI at 1200Hz harmonics, and when nice and focused with a reflector it was enough to shut down the capsule. So they made a Faraday cage."

> the PhD taxi driver isn't a huge problem because it's voluntary on the part of the immigrant

Of course it isn't voluntary. If you had a PhD would you prefer to work as a taxi driver?

It's a mix of multiple factors:

- Some masked racism (usually in form of "needs Canadian experience" meaning for most people: either you spend some time in a cashier/cleaning/etc job or you aren't getting through to us)

- Curriculum stuffing/PhDs from some smaller countries might not be worth the paper they're printed on (which should be easy to sieve in an interview - but a Canadian won't go out of the way to help you - not even a bit)

- Peculiarities of the Canadian job market (centralization depends on area/specialty, etc)

Ask HN: Free tier production DB for free projects?
How do you solve DB on free projects or tiny pet projects?

I'm sure a lot of you launched some pet project that is free to use, has traffic of few dozens of people per month and you don't have any immediate plans to monetize it, just want to keep it alive and see what happens later.

While it's quite easy to find free hosting for such projects, it seems rather difficult to find free database hosting for it. Most database free tiers come with very tricky conditions like wiping all content every now and then, having to redeploy regularly, etc. - this makes them not really usable in production. And the paid tiers jump easily from 0 to $50/mo which is not feasible for free pet project.

I am talking about nothing fancy, a few megabytes of Postgres with negligible traffic. How do you folks go about this? Thank you.
Could work for large volumes, but TBH I feel like the logistics involved make it overly complicated; the industrial dishwashers mentioned elsewhere take like 90 seconds for a run. Why spend the time loading, driving, unloading, cleaning, loading, driving, unloading for a 90 second cycle?

I mean I get it when it comes to laundry (at hotel scale), the volume of stuff is much larger, it's not fragile so packaging and handling is a lot safer, and they use massive industrial laundry machines. One laundry factory can handle multiple hotels too.
I wish the industry would bite the bullet and come up with 'USB-hypothetical' based around a strictly enforced standard which used active optical cables with additional conductors for power.

An awful lot of USB issues would go away by getting rid of the need to push an electrical protocol too close to physical limits, enforcing sane minimum standards so end users have a clear idea of what a given port can provide (none of the current mess where 'USB-C' represents a connector that could support any number of protocols), and making layer 1 a dumb pipe (no special wires needed to support optional feature X) so functionality could be entirely software-defined.

USB is just too complicated for its own good, and has too many optional features, to be friendly to end users.
Run a postgres instance on a $5 VM seems like the usual. If there is really no traffic at all, an AWS free tier?

Alright, if you want to be nitpicky, they had decades to devise a reform, years to agree on it within the party, and months to actually get it passed. It eventually did pass and it wasn't repealed.

> As to your "We effectively incentivize people to not get insurance", that was the point of the individual mandate which was repealed by the Republicans in 2017.

There never was an effective individual mandate, but if there had been, it most likely would've been ruled unconstitutional. Whether you pay a small fine or no fine whatsoever, you are ultimately incentivized to defer paying the far higher insurance premiums.

It's in the name of energy ratings; using less water at a colder temperature will reduce energy usage.

As for the smell "wet dog smell" is usually mold; rinse your plates of food remains before putting it in the dishwasher, clean out your filters regularly (not as necessary if you rinse beforehand), and run a hot, empty cycle with soda crystals. Also, leave it open to air out if it's not running (doesn't need to be open all the way, just enough for the insides to stay dry). All of that also applies to washing machines. Basically, moisture in a closed space will cause mold and smells.

I had no idea that grapefruits had so much risk associated with them if you're taking medication. Most of the ones listed in the article are actually hugely popular, I wonder how many people took some innocent stuff like Tylenol and then drank some grapefruit juice and felt weird, without realizing what happened.
As a very left-leaning person who doesn't at all follow these types of conspiracies, I can't help but feel uneasy about decisions like this. Facebook is so ubiquitous and influential that it can be used to sway public opinion. That's scary. But isn't it also scary the other way? The fact that the content which can be posted there, the content so wide-reaching it can be used to sway public opinion, is controlled by a private company? In my opinion, a communication platform this large should be governed by the same free-speech laws we enjoy offline.
Sure, but the question I'd have for you as parents would be - ok, but how come you you have a forge in your house? Is that your profession? Hobby? Did you build it specifically for your son? What did that involve? How does your son know how to operate a forge in the first place?

Like, that's just few questions that come to my mind in like 2 seconds, I'm sure a competent interviewer could think of more.
I've read the same article, but as a non native speaker wasn't sure, whether he just rearranged his part or the whole song. It did read like the latter, but, after all, this was not just a random song from some random musician, but from Micheal Jackson and Quincy Jones. Amazing.

Amusingly, the vacuum pump in the picture (above this text, his right hand resting on it):

--
Within his home, Jackson’s lab is quite extensive and he describes it as having too many parts to even write down!
--

Looks precisely like the model I bought from Amazon, to pull a vacuum for my self-install of my heat pump at home! These sorts of heat pumps come pre-charged with coolant, so after you connect the copper piping between the head (indoor) unit and the external compressor, you then need to pull a vacuum, validate the system is stable, then finally let the coolant into the entire system.

To me, this only highlights how some things are easily done with low cost, off the shelf parts.

USB certification already exists, and consistently fails regardless of how hard, and arduous it is to pass, and the only option seem to make it actually work is to make it even more strict, which itself will be a turnoff to hardware, and more importantly, chipmakers.

> no computational model can represent all real numbers (by a trivial cardinality argument).

I agree with your points about this problem being difficult. But the cardinality argument is neither here nor there. The cardinality argument is based on classical logic, and has no relevance to computation.

In constructive mathematics it is perfectly possible that all real numbers can be represented by finite algorithms. And even that all functions defined on all the reals are continous: a finite constraint of the output can be computed from a finite constraint on the input.

But, starting from a definition of the reals as a Cauchy sequence we have a long way to go to get something which can be practically computed on. I think RealPCF [0] was a step in the right direction.

Let's face it - it's pretty trivial for Amazon to go "Okay, now we have a H1B tier that get x% less stock and exactly the minimum requried base salary". It's not like they have a problem reaching that total comp, they just like to incentivize employees differently. I don't see them dumping the H1Bs entirely simply because they don't want to rebalance.
Any decent WYSIWYG editor (which I assume your data is coming from if you're trying to sanitize arbitrary HTML) will render "&lt;span&gt;" as "&amp;lt;span&amp;gt;" in the first place. The sanitizer doesn't need to do anything to it, as the markup is already valid.

Barbering can be a surprising lucrative career. Especially men's barbering. Has a particularly high dollar/hour rate too.

Tooling is $1k for clippers and scissors and razors. Not sure about chairs, but probably another $1k.

Suppose you charge $20 a cut, typical cut takes ~15-20 minutes and you're open 360 days a year.

10 cuts/day => $72k/yr. 2-3 hours of work a day.

20 cuts/day => $144k/yr. 4-5 hours of work a day.

Find reasonable rent and you're netting a pretty good profit. And yes it's an easy space to enter, but generally, once men find "their barber", they're locked in for pretty much the rest of their life and become a regular customer every 2-3 weeks.

> To reduce the amount of harmful interference generated, USB3 links use a technique called scrambling, in which data is XOR'd with a fixed pattern before transmission.

So I can take that pattern, repeat it a few million times, and then if someone transmits it (as simple as saving it to disk), it turns their USB devices into transmitters.
