Wages have stagnated. Your graphs aren't really relevant to this question; so what if per capita disposable income has increased? That doesn't say anything at all about wages of people in America.

I may or may not have participated in click fraud in 1997 with DoubleClick by forging source IP headers and going through a proxy ... that I may or may not have been running. I can only imagine how much more sophisticated click fraud has become today. Even if you raise that bar, I suspect a vast % of clicks are probably fraud anyway.

I did and I pointed out why your theory is garbage.

I didn't comment the last part because as its simply wrong. Nothing is flipped at no axis at all. If what you see in the mirror would be another universe then it would have to me MIRRORED to look like we see things in a mirror. Every row of atoms right-angled towards the mirror would have to have the exact opposite order. Would the other universe be flipped? No it would not. The wrong assumption is that your universe and the one you see in the mirror is identical. But it would have to be mirrored it can not be identical and also not flipped. No matter how you would flip the other universe it would never look like what you see in a mirror.

Just use 2 identical but non-simple objects place them next to each other for example 2 coins.
No matter how you flip or rotate the coins it will never look like there is a mirror in between. You would need a mirrored coin for that.
The concept is useful, the implementation is not. You really just want better ergonomics for enums, and encode the many ways NULL is meant to mean that way
Those were the conditions of the original yellow journalism, including people who would literally chase you down on the streets shouting headlines at you and trying to get you to buy a paper on your way to and from work. You had people in backrooms analyzing sales based on different newspaper features and writers - and figuring out what headlines would sell the most.

It's funny. For fun personal things I don't want to annoy the driver, but don't really care if what I say is recorded. For business you don't really care if the driver hears it, but don't want to get recorded.

I suspect that a well-defined retention and usage policy could satisfy most business. In fact they might prefer it to having a driver listening in.

FWIW, Advisory speed-limits on autobahn are similar to the western US statutory speed limits (130km/h == 80mi/h). That being said, 200km/h and no other moving violations would quite possibly get you thrown in jail in "The land of the free"

My comment doesn't use the word CEO so I'm not sure what point you are making.
In opposition to both the article and the comment above, Usenet (actually uucp) bang-paths are VERY different from domain names, in that they don't represent any kind of organizational (in this case, naming) hierarchy at all, but rather a source-routed path of how to get there. For instance, a uucp email address might look like:

well-known-host!next-host!third-host!fourth-host!mailhost!username

(another syntax for the last 2 nodes above might be username@mailhost, depending - this became popular later on...)

Although this might work just as well:
well-known-host!other-host!mailserverhost!username

Note that each hostname in such an address is a short, local hostname, not an FQDN. As shown, the first host was usually a "well-known" host in the uucp world, something like say, ucbvax. While uucp addresses were sometimes rewritten (some intermediate hosts tended to get hammered, and remember, this was back when bits weren't free), this was frowned upon for obvious reasons.
For USCIS, it doesn't matter where you work, visa is for the individual and they have to prove their merit against the required guidelines, even an unemployed person from anywhere in the world can apply by themselves if they can prove their merit as per the requirements. That is the beauty of this visa :)
Keep going back in time. RCA, for example, used to be the biggest market cap company. Now, few people even know it ever existed.
This is probably more of an argument against taking broadly-stated descriptive statements from studies and uncritically turning them into prescriptive statements.

You and I both find that our brains are more engaged when writing by hand. For you that engagement is a distraction from the subject at hand; for me that engagement actually helps me focus on the subject at hand. Its interesting that our personal experiences line up with the study's findings, but neither of us should probably change our habits over it.
Those displaced (50% in the example above) can go and provide services in another area... Why should only the pin producers get 4 hour weeks. What about those have to toil in the field for 8 hours a day to produce food?

What happens is that those 4 can go do something else; now in reality that something else is often not as good as what they were doing before or else they would have already been doing it.

But people are not static and can improve, develop skills, and learn new things. Also prices normally go down, which encourages innovation, and can create whole new classes of jobs.

For instance before medical imaging we didn't have x-ray technicians, etc - But I'm glad that new field was created.
Are you using the older (and simpler) synchronous "Charges" Stripe API? Many non-US payments require a text message for verification by the card holder. Using the asynchronous "Payment Intents" stuff should fix that. I recently switched, and it dramatically improved the charge success rate for non-US customers.
Just because the US average is X% doesn't mean that the every community in the whole country is X%. There's clearly heterogeneity in the data.

Yeah I did the same thing but I learned colemak. I never learned to touch-type qwerty, when I learned touch-typing I switched to colemak. I feel like it made things easier as I didn't have bad habits to fall back on.

I can still type qwerty but I'm not very fast at it (I never was).
In retrospect, standards turned out to be rather important.

The graph is truly awful for showing hours worked. Also, what's that gigantic leap in disposable income? Are we to believe that on average American's have $50,000 worth of disposable income when they didn't before? I think that relies heavily on which version of average is being discussed.
> CEOs work isn't any more demanding than it used to be, either.

I think it has, actually. The CEO's job became more complicated as a result of the increased complexity in the world. There used to be only brick-and-mortar and mail order, now there is internet. They used to advertise on tv, radio, and newspaper. Now they can advertise tv, radio, newspaper, online ads, and social media influencers. They didn't have to worry about ransomware, now they do. And so on.
I don't really feel like composability/modularity is all that important in SQL.

I want modularity in programs because they are large, and without proper abstraction, impossible to manage.

SQL queries are generally really short. Rarely more than a few lines (might be different for people doing ad-hoc analysis instead of making a db backed application). I don't need modularity for a program that is only a few lines long.

The lack of really natural integration into modern day programming languages (and data model mismatches) is a much bigger issue imo

I'm not commenting on Julia per se. I'm commenting on the state of discussions surrounding programming languages in general.

> if you interview 100 engineers who've tried deploying Julia, a vanishingly small % would recommend it if at all.

Popularity of a choice does not correlate with a choice being correct. It is a fallacy to evaluate a particular tool's usefulness for a particular job by how popular that tool is. And doubly so when most of a random sampling of engineers includes virtually no one experienced in using said tool.
In discussions of virtually any non-popular programming language today, the vast majority of commenters on the language have absolutely 0 experience using it day in and day out for its intended use case. All you have in that discussion are hammer users. To them everything is a nail. And they universally hate any new tool that doesn't look like a hammer, because they can't take the time to learn the new tool. Why would they? Everything is a nail anyway.
This is disappointing, especially here, because Hacker News is the place where the concept of using a non-familiar language was expressed as a super-hack for startups.
My original reply expresses the conjecture that eventually, all pls will look the same and nobody will be able to develop a language that will truly provide an increase in quality, decrease development or maintenance costs, or improve the reliability and safety of systems the world runs on, because people who evaluate languages actually evaluate them for the tooling that largely gets bolted on after the fact by nonexperts (the lsp server / vscode crowd).
There are three lsp servers for python. Only one of them works with pipenv on Windows. Does that make python bad? If python were introduced today, as it was when it first came out, would it gain popularity with all the expectations we place upon a language? No. And that would be a shame. The same is true of Javascript and Java. C and c++ would go nowhere. About the only language that would have made it is Csharp and Visual Basic and Kotlin, because they were written to SELL IDEs and tools.

I haven't looked into whether it's specifically an issue but in France it's notoriously hard to fire employees and indeed a lot of work is done by workers hired from agencies. This is also because it is very hard to make temporary contracts here.
Given that you're just doing a transform from the RSS format to HTML, it sounds like the amount of storage space is minimal, and the traffic not especially large. Yes?

Still, it's large enough that you'll need to cover your costs with premium customers, and that's going to be a bit tricky: anybody with resources to cover the fees for serving up the actual audio won't have too much trouble ginning up a really basic web site. So aside from your loss leader, you're going to need to show a strong customizability without a huge effort on their part, and/or really great design services at a premium price.

If I recall correctly, a petition can only be filed with USCIS for a TN if the individual in question is already outside of the US.

Ie, if you are currently within the US on a TN, and looking to switch jobs, you can not file for a new status with USCIS; your options are either to leave the country and apply at a POE, or leave the country, and only then petition with USCIS.

Is this incorrect? Can a current TN holder petition USCIS for a new TN while still within the US?

+ Software engineers get paid a higher average salary than babysitters

+ Yesterday was before today (and any other tautology)

There are plenty of truth value functions we can evaluate for non-physical states including tautologies, personal opinions, statistical norms with broad support, historical events and so on. They may have different truth value functions (how we determine the truth of my opinions on how cold my feet are is different than how we determine the truth of what I ate for lunch) but they still have truth/non-truth outcomes.

Well, for starters, the IP they see might not be the same IP that Reddit sees. If you are a fraudster, obfuscating IPs is something worth investing in to get by the ad network, not the publisher. There's no need to invest in fooling the publisher (in fact, appearing fraudulent to the publisher can be an objective).

Secondly, 15 times in a short period of time from the same IP might just be the ad system targeting a particular group of people who all use the same NAT (which does indeed tend to happen). So it might not be fraud at all.

Guessing this is a hugely unpopular opinion here:

A mafia engages in racketeering/extortion. They take a game that’s fair, and make it unfair. Instead of creating value, they steal it. Without the mafia, people would retain more value for themselves.

Apple, on the other hand, created and maintains an enormous platform. Without Apple, the App Store would not exist. The rules are posted to a webpage and are applied more or less equally to everyone. All the transactions that occur in this App Store are value they enable to exist. Without Apple, instead of creating an app you would have to create an app and the platform and distribution mechanism etc. The cut they take, in light of this, seems more than reasonable to me.

The hate Apple gets here and other places seems really misplaced to me. They’re not a common carrier. They’re not a monopoly. They’re not even close to being a monopoly. They’re a huge company, but there is plenty of competition out there. I don’t understand why people act like they can’t make the rules of their platform. Much less why people would say they are a mafia.

Concretely about this post: it seems really naive!

> "Out of the blue, one day they said you have to add in-app purchase to stay in the App Store. They stumbled upon something in the app that mentioned there were paid plans, they went to the website and saw there was a subscription you could purchase, and then turned around and demanded we add IAP.

This sounds like a child making up a story for the principal. Come on... really? Proton mail is a huge thing. Apple’s rules are public and easy to understand. How is it that I can understand the App Store rules but Proton Mail cannot? Apple want their cut! They don’t want a mechanism to side step or encourage users to side step that cut. It’s so simple.
