> I always feel awkward when I don’t know who is writing on the other side. Is it the CEO? Someone from Sales? Is it a super intelligent baby?

Why would someone feel awkward? It's from neither of those. It's automated so I think it's awkward and misleading to use a name.

I think a better metric would be net value creation.

There are two times to care about inequality:

When the low-end creates physical suffering and when the high end controls enough they can force the low end into suffering.

But, between those markers there's a /lot/ of room to maneuver.

I really feel like the term inequality is a simple placeholder for a more complex idea that has morphed into it's own, mis-aimed, creature.
For the minimal cost of including one, a backup battery is nice enough just to prevent the system time from being reset if the power goes out, same as any other system.
The laffer curve works decently when there is high inflation. Currently we have low inflation. It is an interesting way to control inflation through the use of taxes. However, it has also been sold as a way to make taxes 'fair'. Fair is everyone pays the same no matter what. No freebies, no deductions, nothing. Once you introduce incentives or sin taxes you skew the system. There is now lots of money on the line and people will game that system.

Economics also has lots of math that 'works' but in the real world flies apart because of secondary effects. For example the 18th amendment. It sure got rid of booze but created an interesting underground of violence and ways to smuggle/hide it. A secondary effect. No tax issue exists in a vacuum. Anyone who says 'my way is the most amazing way' has not thought through all the secondary effects. For example lets say you want to get rid of something, million dollar cars. Lets tax it at 99%. The rich were going to buy it one way or the other. The tax is meaningless to them other than an annoyance that they will try to work around. You have not eliminated anything. You can get the same effect on the lower end. You want people to stop doing something but by putting a higher tax on it you have just basically said 'only rich people get this'. Many would not consider that 'fair' either.

The word 'fair' is also used many times. It is being used in place of equity. Because it sounds nicer.

The laffer curve is a way to introduce perfect price discrimination into tax law. Getting it 'right' is the same issue that most economic models have. They can define pretty well their supply curve. The problem comes when you try to define that demand curve. That thing changes from day to day and whatever I ate for breakfast or I slept too long and feel kinda groggy your ceo said something on twitter. Economists can kinda get it close but it moves around too much for you to make good decisions you can make kind of hand wavy ones. The demand curve changes! As you want MR=MC. But that point is more like an area. If you get that wrong you can over/under charge and mess things up later on. The laffer curve can plot its supply very nicely. But it has the same issue as all other models defining the demand curve. The laffer curve demand plot is usually conspicuously missing when shown to people. As the laffer curve would also be almost by definition a monopoly position as only one thing controls it. So getting MR=MC right is even more important. That is just the 2d curve on that thing. The 3d would be some definition of equity. I do not know of anyone looking into that sort of thing other than the quants.
Sure, now, but like with most of the world I suspect that the food most people ate traditionally was what they could grow because meat was too expensive for most people to afford most of the time and that's what they mean when they say "Med Diet", not what you can get now which is kofta and chips.
You mean the only company that actually made an offer to buy Sun and kept it?

Google could have own Java, avoid the lawsuit and keep it Go style frozen at Java 6 instead.

And given Google's history they would have killed the other products even sooner than Oracle did.
And spending resources to maintain existence.
That's fair, until you get into GCC extensions. I guess the difference is that the Scheme "core" is typically smaller and the amount of extensions is typically larger.

Only if you value overseas travel... It currently takes ~16 hours to fly from SF to Singapore depending on weather. Any longer, and you're going to see a lot of that travel disappear.

It takes that long because it's more efficient to do it in a single flight. Taking off and landing are a massive waste of time and fuel. If we only had short range planes people would change their destinations in some cases or they'd plan layovers as part of the trip. I don't think you'd see that many people just stop travelling abroad.
I think until a certain age, kids shouldn't really be bothered with programming. I'm hoping to teach my niece programming. for now we sit down with legos and I try to teach her via socratic method how to break down an idea in her head into the sum of parts and to see what lego piece she can use as parts to construct the whole.
I kinda enjoy the ability to get to the other side of the world in 24 hours.

I think this a picture of the soft HDPE Nalgene bottle. I think some of the hard ones had BPA but never the soft one (it’s a plastic hardener after all). Nalgene now says they don’t use BPA in any of their bottles.
When you need to track down your username months later it's nice to have that confirmation you can find later. It does not hurt to give your customers a searchable database of transactions and such.
For years now I've used a logitech wireless dongle paired to mouse+keyboard.

During all those years the only way I could avoid random drops is by connecting the dongle to usb 2.0 ports.

I've had this issue both on a old dell l502x laptop and also now on my current asrock x370 motherboard which doesn't even have native usb 2.0 ports.

Sad to know this is actually a design issue, and thus may repeat on any computer I acquire in the future.
Even the Ford Mustang Mach E has copied the Tesla center-screen design. At least they also have a short-wide screen behind the steering wheel too, and they've included a big knob embedded into the bottom of the center console screen. Hopefully that helps.
Interesting point there. Does the same happen to you with smaller or earlier companies? I wouldn't trust Tom from Spotify is a real person, but some companies have founders sending and replying to those emails themselves. A good practice I saw from another onboarding sequence was Apollo.io's first email. It was from a person who told me they would be my point of contact if I needed anything from the company. I know it's automated, but I personally though it was much better than receiving something from support@apollo or onboarding@apollo. It makes it easier for me to reach out if I have something to say

I see it as part of the arms race where people find channels or signals for communications they actually care about, then marketers discover they can get more engagement using them, and vomit their noise all over it.

The problem is that the "personal e-mail" signal can be faked cheaply as they have discovered.

I kind of wish e-mail worked such that anyone who isn't in my contact list has to pay me to send me an e-mail. I'm not sure what the right amount is, maybe $1.

EDIT: It's also a kind of tragedy of the commons. If you're the first marketer to fake the signal it will work very well. Once everyone does it, congratulations, you've ruined it for everyone, including people who are not faking it.
yeah! it's great for prototyping and fun to play with - give it a go and let me know if you have any feedback would love to hear it!
why do you need to be able to swap dishwasher racks?
Well, working at a company you think is neat is certainly an achievable goal. I’m glad for the author that they got to fulfill it.

> Oracle has stated that changing the name or spelling of the methods would have been enough to avoid being in violation:

“Oracle has stated” doesn't make it consistent with the law. Sure, the Supreme Court could create a new rule in this case which would make it true, but there is no existing legal rule I can ser that would make thesaurus substitution not infringement of something that was otherwise infringement.
The issues is that their solution ios backwards.

Immigrants don't take jobs for less, when no government is breathing down their necks. If you have a competitive market - there's no need for government to create artificial monopolies.

It's complete bullshit that billions want to live in US. Billions want a safe and prosperous life... and would stay home, if that's possible to achieve. US isn't some land of honey rivers or gold mountains.

If you want a case study on how unrestricted migration occurs - look at EU.

On one side we have Ireland and on the other side we have Romania. There's complete freedom of migration for Romanians to Ireland. Just buy a one way ticket for 50Eur, basically.

EU is proof that you don't need quotas or restrictions to control migration at all. And immigrants have only a small impact on incomes.

I’m not seeing this VW recall. Are you referring to Takata airbags? That’s an old recall but a really bad one, caused by Takata not the car manufacturers. The ECM getting updated for emissions reasons? I just took my car in for that one during my regular service, it’s a service bulletin not a recall.

Argentina is not really a good example for your argument as it is probably the most "open borders" country in the world.
I just had another thought... the parking could be in the shuttle bay, in the back of the lower fuselage, jutting out of the slope of the hill. You could then take a "turbolift" up to the saucer section, where the rooms would be.

And I've always thought one of those mid-90s Chevy Luminas would be an ideal base to modify to make look like a shuttlecraft.

>Same thing for grocery baggers "disappearing"

I'm talking about in the 80s or so when a lot of things started switching to more self-service. My local supermarkets have baggers today and you're literally not allowed to bag yourself.

I don't see there being anything irrational about not wanting to pay the price for certain services. And I don't expect either individuals or companies to sell me things on terms that aren't attractive to them. But that doesn't mean I don't want those things even if I accept that I can't have them on terms acceptable to both myself and the person providing them.

This is a terrific perspective to have on a job. All jobs end in one way or another. Being able to look back on it as a meaningful and successful chapter of your life is the most healthy way to then move on to the next chapter.
In a similar discussion yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24697860) many seem to pass easily over the basic fact that monopolies are wrong, whatever your political/economic leaning is. I commented:

In economic theory, a well-functioning market is a market where no single actor can manipulate prices all by itself. That's why monopolies (oligopolies - monopsonies) are fundamentally bad.

In some situations where a monopoly makes sense (there is no sense in having 2 autonomous rail systems for instance), typically for infrastructures, there are strong provisions to be applied to keep the monopoly in control. Historically, these monopolies were often simply managed by a publicly-owned company (USPS, or interstate highways, for instance).

As I said in another comment, there is no rational way to defend or explain away monopolies. If you're a free-market capitalist, then you want a functioning free market, thus no monopolies. If you're a socialist, you want them publicly-owned and democratically controlled.

Large powerful monopolies are a tremendous menace to democracy, simple as that. It's not a question of their CEOs being nice people or not, it's deeply ingrained in the logic of being a monopoly.
I like the concept but since it's open to the public it will suffer from ignorance.

For example, take the Salomon Quest boots that are listed. I own a pair of them. While they're good boots for the price they do not deserve an A- score. They are not BIFL. The soles are glued making them not resoleable. The sole on one of mine has started coming unglued too.

The same can be said for the Victorinox Fibrox knife that has an A+ rating. I also have one of those. It's a great knife for its low price but it does not deserve an A+ since it isn't full tang and is very thin and easy to damage.

This is a common issue with "BIFL" discussions. People overrate something because they don't understand that parts will wear out from use, something isn't repairable, or they don't have experience with a higher quality item.

Do you have any thoughts for dealing with this issue?
Just bought a lot of yard tools and picked Ego as my battery platform. Same reasons you outlined: I hate dealing with gas engines, cords are annoying and get you stuck. I can now start a job, pause half way do something else and continue again without dealing with starting engines etc.

The blower is fantastic and quiet at that too. Much more relaxing than a gas one making noise all the time. The edger is phenomenal but probably too much for my needs.
Who on Earth think onboadrding mail is a good idea? It's junk mail and nobody reads it. Never place there any important information - most users completely ignore them.

And how much more do they cost in comparison with hooking a few copper wires to a simple copper plug manufactured in china?
There's no ambiguity. He said it has 8 GDDR6 chips, resulting in a total of 16GB of RAM.
If you take an active position to promote lies and conspiracy in your personal life, why would your employer not reasonably believe you would do so at work?

There is a difference between legitimate political opinion and promoting false conspiracy. Note that most of these conspiracies are defamatory in nature. Also, QAnon borders on calling for the violent overthrow if the government. It's narrative literally calls for it.

So no, not out of bounds for an employer to terminate. Nothing 1984 here.
Pycharm issue: Google style docstring class attribute support
It's interesting, I read your comment and thought your non-automated emails sounded like a time waster for you and the recipient.

Then I saw that you have a Security SAAS and instantly felt different. I would love knowing there was a human I could connect with easily at your company. Definitely a smart move on your part.
Even if it was 10x the cost, it's supposed to last 5x as long so long-lived applications like perhaps commercial vehicles would only be 2x the cost even if they don't take advantage of the smaller size & weight to require less capacity.
Sanctioned government violence against its citizens by the police comes to mind. Weak environmental policies that are leading to things like wildfires on the west coast. The president* making his Dex fueled escape from Walter Reed and immediately taking off his mask telling people to not worry about COVID. The same president* profiteering off the presidency and 40% of the country unquestioningly supporting it. The same 40% refusing to wear masks in public because somehow being a spoiled brat is patriotic.

This is what I imagine the Roman Empire felt like right before it collapsed on itself. The US has grown too big and too spoiled and is ripping at the seams.
Promising Infusions of Cash, Fake Investor John Bernard Walked Away with $30M
You are grossly overestimating how trivial it is to support remote workers in different nations.

There is at best a 9.5 hour difference between the US and India, which leaves practically no opportunity for real-time cooperative work during normal office hours. Not to mention differences in holidays... and equipment cost... and the cost of doing business in another nation. That all adds up very quickly.
Claiming the T2 runs “SepOS” is a red flag right out of the box.
Since the article is specifically about onboarding, it might not be that bad. But chances are, I'm going to forget your name about 5 minutes after this introduction, so getting future emails with your name will just confuse me.
You are misinterpreting that argument. To prove copyrightability, Oracle had to show that designing an API is a creative act and not a purely mechanical/functional one. That is the purpose of this argument: if the function would only work if named java.lang.Math.max and not work if named Math.maximum, then anyone describing the same concept would be forced to use the same name, so the name wouldn't be copyrightable. They are not stating that Google would have been in the clear if they had named it differently, they are just trying to show that Google could have named it differently without changing the meaning of the code one iota.

For example, someone writing a recipe for omelette has to say "2 eggs" simply because that's what omelette needs. You can't express it any other way, so it's not a creative act, so it can't be protected by copyright.
I am ecstatic to see Pete's QB Site on HN, it was both a large part of my childhood and responsible for my introduction to programming. Lots of very fond memories there, along with Ted Felix's QBASIC programming tutorial[0].

Pete's site is a fantastic resource and you can easily lose hours perusing everything that is archived there.

I don't like the front page. Sign up button shouldn't be front and center. It should be up at the top next to login. Content should be front and center. The front should be very similar to clicking "discover". Most of what is now on the front should be on a dedicated signup page.
Jet engines are significantly less efficient than electric engines so it’s lithium ion has 1/20th the useful Specific Energy at takeoff, though that gets worse as the flight progresses and fuel is burned or batteries age. On the other hand for ultra long range flights electric jets can cruise as higher altitudes which makes up for some of that. Also having 1/3 the 15,000 km range of some aircraft is perfectly viable.

IMO, Due to cost savings electric aircraft would likely become common at around 4x the current Specific Energy and fully take over at about 10-20x.

PS: Energy density is fine for lithium ion, the issue is energy per weight (Specific Energy) not energy per volume (Energy Density).
The welcome email in this context is the confirmation email.
Yes. And I believe this is sort of the best of all worlds. I find it better that like high paying jobs like a surgeon are given on merit (beeing a proxy for parents beeing rich, but still on merit) instead of given on e.g. power, like oh he is the son of ... he doesnt need to study to become a surgeon. Or whatever example you like.

The question is, how possible is it to level up. At least in Europe not so difficult, and in the US the Asian immigrants also show it is possible (if you think in terms of 2 generations).
30% is really, really high for responses to an onboarding email. Manually sending out each one seems like a ton of work, though. I hope you have high customer LTV.
