There seems to be weird dynamic where there are a ton of lawyers, there is not enough work, and many aren't being paid much.

But it's still hard to find a lawyer that charges less than 250/hr.

My hypothesis is that law school is not preparing lawyers well enough to be useful right after school. So many can't find a job to get the experience to compete with senior attorneys who charge 250/hr.
I’d add that it’s not to late to form connections now—people you’ve simply _met_ will often offer to recommend you.

I’ve cold called people I don’t know to ask about roles/companies, and had them then go on to advocate for me and get me on the inside loop. People I’ve never worked with! People generally love helping other people. Think: you’d likely do the same.

Also: it’s a positioning game. A name people have heard before is better than one they haven’t …
If you want to make your app respond to clicks etc. , do you have to add anything to the jsx? I'm curious how interaction works. This is very cool btw, at first I was imagining you're server signaling WebRTC sessions between people.

Another vote for Lego Mindstorms.

Another vote for First Lego League, they have a few age tiers, if you can't find a team to get on consider making your own team, we had a blast.

> Don’t try to join startups or cool SV companies unless you have an inside track. Their recruiting and hiring practices are mostly geared to ensure “culture fit.” That’s code for young single male who will work 12 hrs/day and think free beer and pizza makes it cool.

The exception being if you can come in as a CTO and _set_ some of that culture including making an effort to give everyone a bit more work/life balance. I've been in this situation a few times with companies that are otherwise as you describe.
Family members can leave their medications and food on their door step and walk away. People can get groceries delivered. Nursing homes have extensive precautions.

Cuomo said his ultra lockdowns would be justified “if they saved even one life” (lol!). Maybe we’ve just become a little too uncomfortable with our own mortality. Life is a bitch and then you die. Get over it. Almost all the deaths are in the extremely old, a massive percent already in hospice. This virus is small time stuff, mostly taking out the already dying. But between TDS and hysterical media coverage in general, so many young and healthy people are TERRIFIED. It’s a disgrace.

This reads like a doom & gloom article.

Better judge these articles by their slant. How many good news do they cover? There of course are those even during Covid-19 times. However, this one actively tries to drive its point home with blinders on. Amusingly, the author's tag line is "I provide a bird's eye view of what's driving the markets". He is not.

Pfizer is not the only company in the world trying here. Three days ago, Astra Zeneca reported about a vaccine triggering a similar immune response among young and old adults. They also reported lower adverse reactions to the vaccine among elderly. Astra Zeneca shares took a little jump at the news. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/26/oxford-astrazeneca-coronavir...

So why is he cherry picking Pfizer?

The ECB has recently announced they have further stimulus artillery ready if the need comes. So why is he trying to sow doubt? Is this article intended to cover only domestic news or the bird's eye view of the globalized economy? He can't just pick and choose if he wants to analyze.

He's explaining how the SAP stock crash is spreading ripples to e.g. Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Adobe when all these -- barring IBM maybe -- are much, much better off today than during the pandemic's earlier days. Post-SAP crash. Obviously they were affected by we have little to no stock market data yet.

I see this repeated elsewhere, and I don't understand it. I don't want to suggest that you're bigoted as this is getting alarmingly close to a culture war topic, and I recognize the difficulty in conveying that in person, much less over the internet, where "I don't mean to offend but..." is usually followed by something offensive. But I do want to understand your analysis of the game-theoretic conditions that you believe lead to smaller groups outcompeting larger groups.

Why would the most beneficial group of people that we want to band with be optimal when limited to a subset of the population, whether that's simply a random selection, or a potentially bigoted selection/identification mechanism like skin color, wealth, religious sect, family name, etc.?

I don't understand why a broader grouping (possibly global) of people wouldn't outcompete a smaller group, the larger group by definition has a larger capability...intra-group communication may be slightly more difficult with language barriers and cultural differences, and the relative contributions of sub-groups of members may differ based on their resources, but the sum total would still be greater.
My own district heat is also coming from a natural heat power plant, FWIW. I wager it's more efficient because they also produce electrical power (the heat is what remains in the steam after it's been run over the turbine to generate electricity).
Spotify and Netflix offered an easier alternative to piracy. I've heard a few people mentioning there's so many video services to sign up to now that they're back to flying the internet jolly roger having cancelled them all.

If any big exclusive content music services pop up we'll be right back on the pirate bay for everything again
Why play an ad when you can provide bad service, and so ruin their reputation; like they might be with restaurants?

I stopped using Uber Eats and local alternatives here in South Africa, because I learnt on a day where they provided poor service; that they charge up to 50% more than the restaurant, all (3 services) have the exact pricing (collusion?), and still pay their drivers terribly.

They kill restaurants' delivery businesses, which although fragmented, offer better service overall, and are much cheaper + accountable if an order goes wrong.

GrubHub being opaque might be making people write off a lot of places. "I won't eat here, they got my takeout order wrong twice before".

Sorry to say, but almost EVERYTHING big that happens on this planet helps to perpetuate the current socio-economic system that is designed for the one percent to stay in power and the working class to stay working.

> After all, it’s easier to sell American citizens on space exploration — and the $22.6 billion dollar budget afforded to NASA in 2020 alone — when there is a promise of a future utopia.

What future utopia? They're selling Americans on future American prestige in the world, during an election cycle. You're reading far too much into this.

> American citizens need to decide what they prioritize. Is it space exploration or is it a decent standard of living at home? Is it the moon, Mars, or Earth?

All three. They have the capability, just not the equality.
> The restaurant can opt out of this, but they never asked for the service in the first place so it's kinda shitty. That's what this article is about.

If the driver places the order without making it clear to the restauranteur that they are the middleman company (UberEats, Doordash, etc.) then the opt-out clause is meaningless. You can't opt out of something you're never aware of.
No, that's the myth that keeps getting repeated.

The real situation is this: you have $200 of illegal money. Now you have the choice between using that $200 to buy a widget that's worth $100, or a widget that's worth $200.

Obviously you'll buy the widget that's worth $200.

EBT/food stamps are a bad analogy because the missing $15 in your example goes to transaction costs -- a middleman needs to buy, market, sell.

In real estate, that simply corresponds to the real estate broker's fee -- 5% or 6%. Not 50%.

The point remains: it doesn't matter if you're laundering or not, you never want to lose money you don't have to. Just because it was illegal in the first place doesn't make you magically charitable. Everyone always wants the best bang for their buck. Period.
This reminds me of the debates in the Three Body Problem series (fictional) around 'Escapism'
I think many of the people who write CoCs are oblivious to the fact that people lie, or may just be unreliable witnesses. Nor are the creators of a CoC trained or able to run an adjucation process.

If you punish anyone who has a report filed against them without evaluating those reports or requesting any proof, then you will quickly be left with a small pool of very manipulative people looking to game the system.
Then it is also silly to (erroneously) mention who discovered such a property, don't you think?
Sadly, it took me a few hours, but only because I went down a rabbit hole of trying to render a colorized code snippet without knowing the Code class existed. I got to the point of a custom Tex template that used listings, only to find out Manim strips any color, so I attempted to parse the SVG and reinsert color using Manim APIs... only to find out Code did everything I wanted and more :)

Once I found out about Code, I'd say probably 15 minutes to land on the opacity strategy and a few minutes to learn how to control the camera, so in the end, not bad. The limiting factor is now figuring out what I want it to do in the first place.
Why is this on the front page of HN?

I know I'm going to get downvoted for saying this, but this really is not the kind of sensationalist info that I expect to see here.
It's not that great advancements have cost.

The argument is that focusing on space exploration deflects from facing the realities of climate change on our planet. If people start to think that space exploration could yield a solution to an increasingly uninhabitable climate on Earth, it could create a scenario where we spend even more on space exploration and less on addressing Earth's climate.

The fact that you will be held to the standards of the most easily offended member of your audience will be motivation to try to figure out what might offend that member and proactively try to cater to their wishes.

You might not know exactly what you have to do to succeed, but you will be certain that failing to hit any checklist item on the SJW agenda is going to get you into trouble. And therefore you have a good reason to proactively try to meet that agenda.
I'm working on an AI and have some notes here:

https://domino14.github.io/macondo/

The state of the art AIs (and this one) use truncated Monte Carlo search to determine best plays. They can still be beaten by top humans around 50% of the time. We will be dedicating a lot of time next year to adding machine learning, inferencing (i.e. range finding ala poker), and other approaches to try to build the best AI in the world.

My assumptions would be for a given type they would get the lowest price. e.g. on-peak vs off-peak pricing would be two (2) different plans and ask different prices of which both could be lowest for that given specification.

For TV, based on time-slots, location, etc there are normally different tiers that have a range based on type of ad, length, play count, etc. I would imagine for each of these tiers a candidate would pay the lowest possible for each tiers' bracket.

I think the problem is your didn't concretely explain what your method entails and how it is any different from doing a plain HTML website or a Javascript one. Technically, there is a server, and a client, so what do you do exactly on the server and the client and how does it difference from other methods?

It's like someone asking you how does AJAX works and your start discussing functional programming. It doesn't explain what AJAX is and how does it differ from plain server side rendering.
I don't think anyone was suggesting that it literally has never happened, so much as that it's very, very rare. Moreover, that kind of behavior would get you banned irrespective of any CoC, so the question remains: what does a CoC add here?
I could understand this argument of putting neighbors first if Vancouver was as hostile to real estate investors from Toronto as they are towards real estate investors from China. Basing the level of hostility on the nationality of the investor seems wrong to me.
Agreed. For the most part I don't really care, the target audience of those services is probably people who put up with that kind of bullshit. But there are cases when functionality and compatibility should trump everything e.g. banking software or e-governance.
We all die. Let that idea sink in. Even you will one day cease to live and the important thing won’t be the extra year or two you lived by sapping the prosperity of future generations. Life isn’t worth extending at all costs.
> You'll never be able to completely encode everything.

No resilient human system expects everything to be completely encoded in a written statement - it's entirely unreasonable, akin to asking one prove that unicorns don't exist.

The devil is in the implementation details and how the CoC is wielded.
>Because the company is firmly in Team Blue, and they control the House right now.

Yeah, those demorats are completely in the pockets of GrubHub, et al.

Which is why the demorat Senate majority and the demorat Executive Branch didn't take up the anti-trust bill and request for investigation that the patriotic Republicans, who have been shut out of all decision making by the ruthless demorat Senate majority have been trying to protect the American people. Oh, wait. How could I have gotten that backwards[0]?

> People tend to act in accordance with their beliefs.

Professionals tend to act professionally. Just because most people are horny & sexual doesn't mean that they need to hump each other at work or at conferences. I expect professional behavior regardless of your personal beliefs. Now, personally I'd prefer people to also look professional (fully clothed, no religious symbols, ...) so I wouldn't necessarily disagree with such rules, but they're usually (as evidenced by this very OP) applied inconsistently, politically.
Wow, this is just... wow this is wrong. This person is either a troll or their understanding of the world is so simplistic as to render any attempt to correct their misunderstanding pointless. After all, they've already figured everything out, everything is simple, black and white, what would they have to learn from you? One imagines that they are a decade or more away in life experience to even being in a place where they could see that their simple test here does not match reality and only then would they be ready to hear why that is.
Just good ol' draw.io desktop app: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop

Comments below already figured out the rotate-hue trick :)

Styling inside the SVG is possible... if the SVG is inline, and not in an `<img>` tag. Also, it would be really hard to target which elements to style, as draw.io does not really give you classes for each color family.

Oh also, I have a whole .drawio => .pdf => .svg => optimized .svg pipeline so you can just save the .svg and not worry about having the fonts. (But also the svg no longer contains the text itself — it's a trade-off).
I do appreciate your candor, however it is clear that GH engages in "kinda shitty" business practices.
No changes should be needed! We wrote some gnarly stuff to make forwarding inputs work across a variety of frameworks. This includes a bunch of React-specific hacks to support the synthetic event system, and some locks to ensure that people can't override each other's scrolling or typing inputs.
This is what an SRE actually is to me, but not to G. Google seems to think they need to create SREs out of SWEs. It took me far, far longer to learn distsys, network engineering, storage and everything else that goes into a platform than it did for me to learn to write grpc endpoints in golang.

I've been in ops for 10+ years building platforms. I'd love to be able to spend 6 hours a day coding but when I'm jugging 10-20 different products that have 1-10+ different languages involved (go, python, nodejs, javascript, ruby, ansible, terraform, puppet, chef) you really have a hard time getting super good at one thing. So most of us have to get good at one language just to pass the code tests, then it languishes because when launching a product I then spend 1-3 months writing something completely different out of biz necessity.

The most important skill to me for an SRE/Ops is curiosity and pattern recognition, and #1 humility/empathy.

> how the heck do I pay my student loans and save up for a $2M starter home

Not valid for Scandinavia. In Denmark we get paid approx $1000 per month (like a wage) for studying and we pay $0 for attending university. You only have to pay for your own computer.

Some students have a part time job, some get extra money from parents.

So many students get by with zero loans.
This is frankly a blatantly wrong and quite foolish argument. Space exploration has already created many significant benefits for humanity on Earth, by advancing hundreds of new technologies with terrestrial applications and launching satellite networks that support a safer, more peaceful world for humans, with improved agricultural efficiencies as well as advanced warning and a better understanding of extreme weather events and climate trends.

Also, spending on space continues to be and has been a very small expense, not only smaller than cosmetics, but entirely dwarfed by military spending and welfare, both of which are highly contested as to whether they provide net benefit at all to the people of Earth.

You'd have to be ideologically possessed or completely ignorant of reality to believe this anti-space bs.

> American citizens need to decide what they prioritize. Is it space exploration or is it a decent standard of living at home? Is it the moon, Mars, or Earth?

No they don't.

We can prioritize both, and frankly, life on Earth will be better the more we priotitize space exploration, not worse.

CA didn't do any of those things. They purchased some data an academic had collected from a FB quiz app.

There's absolutely nothing stopping one of the NYU academics from selling the data they collect for their study to "Cambridge Analytica 2.0" in 12 months. If that happens, which FB would not be able to stop, this situation become identical to the CA scenario. There would be no significant differences.
Wow the balls on this reply. And the lies. When did the op post about a utopian thought experiment? Never. That paragraph is an outright lie.

Op poses a question to help the reader view the action from a more empathic perspective. The goal is to quell all terrorism in the same sense as to prevent all future mass killings. This is the action any country will take.

The utopian thing comes from your misguided thought process. Rather what is being expressed here is an attempt to convey understanding that china's actions are a survival response to end slaughter and terrorism not an attempt to create a utopia.

It is a reflection of your own insensitivity that you those words didn't trigger empathy but rather all you saw was a "utopian thought experiment". To top it off you made a joke about block chain then tried to hide your true nature with a feigned apology. It's clear you don't give a shit either way.

No need to apologize for being insensitive and lacking empathy. You are what you are.

If it weren't for what we already spent on space exploration, we wouldn't have nearly as much understanding of climate change, and we wouldn't have the variety of satellites we rely on to address the climate.

Both is more than one.

I am a huge fan of Go. My question here would be more like: Is this comparable? A lot of people outside of google contribute to Go.
