Australia has a history of anti-Chinese behaviour. Anti-Chinese racism is ingrained in the Australian culture, even though Australia prides itself on its multiculturalism.

That history begins as far back as the 1850s during the gold-rushes, through the White Australia Policy of the beginning-to-mid 20th century, and then during the mid-to-late 20th century anti-Communist wars era (Korea, VietNam, etc), and the last 10 years of anti-China mindset by both of the main political parties in which the excuse is 'National Security'.

Australia has done well from China's growth, but continues to bad-mouth China. The Chinese are now saying "Enough!". Australia is going to discover the hard way that economic growth is not as easy as it once was. For the young who have never experienced economic hardship in the last 25 years because of China, the next few decades are going to be a very painful experience.

The problem is there already is a single "mob of power", and that’s the employer. If your employer decides it’s anti-immigrant, that’s bad for you.

Unions are an attempt to create a "mob" to counter the "mob" of the employer.
Asking is part of the activity that is negotiating. You might verbally asking for the change, and then specifically outline the additions and removals with a pen on the contract itself.
I'll add some anecdata from Australia.

My neighbour had a 5kW system put on, single-phase inverter, about three years ago - for ~ A$7000.

I've just put a deposit down for installation of 12kW of panels with a 10kW three-phase inverter for A$7400

Same provider, though I haven't compared breakdown of costs (I'm assuming very similar installation / labour costs).

I would also like to say the idea that this system has to be changed/replaced is generally agreed upon.

Have not heard about this. What ideas are floating around for the replacement?
I would guess because the greener pastures are still greener or otherwise maybe just as green? I moved from PHP to Ruby and Rails eight years ago. I _really_ enjoy writing Ruby (I love the syntax) and Rails servers all my web dev needs perfectly. I'm now learning about the joys of functional languages though Elixir/Erlang (a common next step for Rubyists).

The question is: so what if PHP even has caught up? What could I possibly gain from going back to it? I would have to rebuild context and learn a whole new web framework in a language whose syntax I personally do not enjoy. So no matter how good it's become, it's totally not worth my time and energy to switch back to it.

It is pretty normal in SV to not see your actual contract before you start. I think I have only ever signed one ahead of time, and that was an unusual situation in other ways.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant as the rate of final price.

It has been a while so it is a little fuzzy, but I recall the broadcaster said up to 50% of pre-tax price. The official VAT rate is like 17% now, I think (just googled it). So it is other fees imposed by local governments that are onerous.
Compile time generation of Spring Boot (MVC) services for Angular
A while back I started the work on building a simple and robust library to simplify integration of Angular UI with Spring MVC services.
As of now the library has been in use for a number of years by several teams in relatively large enterprise environment. It's used in daily workflow in projects with over 500 models.
It supports a quite rich feature set including:
- Out of the box Spring MVC annotation support
- Integrated Project Lombok support for property detection
- Spring Meta annotation processing - create your own annotations by combining the existing ones.
- u/PathVariable
support for constructing request urls
- Full set of features for return and parameter types:
- Inheritance - supertypes and interfaces are mirrored as TypeScript interfaces
- Generics - generic type information is mirrored into TypeScript interfaces
- Enums - represented as named enums in TypeScript
- Inner classes/enums/interfaces - are captured as prefixed classes
- Java 8 Time classes support
- Enums in map keys
- Flexible filtering for input types to prevent "type number bomb"
- Configurable replacement for the default HttpClient based network layer implementation with custom client code

I thought I cleared up your mental framing by addressing the question you had:

>Maybe I am missing something and the plan here is to leave Sickle Cell trait alone and only subject people with Sickle Cell Disease

To confirm, the plan here is to leave Sickle Cell trait alone and only subject people with Sickle Cell Disease to a change which will relieve their disease symptoms, but not change any heritability.

I thought I addressed both recessive and dominant disorders in my comment and I validated your mate selection strategy as a personal choice.

Where I disagree is (1) the idea that introducing a legal or social policy to address recessive disease is better than offering a medical solution and (2) that non-germline genetic modifications are morally questionable by their very nature.

If your personal experience having lived with a genetic trait leads you to a different conclusion on the above points, I would be interested in hearing why. If you were saying something different that I entirely missed, I would also be interested.

The second link makes for interesting reading and is an in-depth example of the law of unintended consequences. I was particularly surprised to learn that fapiao (essentially tax receipts) are a way people and companies seek to manage their taxation, that this has led to companies imposing quotas on their staff for collecting fapiao (from any transactions at all), and that this drives demand in a gray market in discounted fapiao.
None. Twitter and Facebook and Reddit should not be promoting a viewpoint or source.

It is unfortunate that some people will use freedom of speech to share misinformation, but the alternative -- convincing the public that any form of skepticism is bad, and only the "consensus" is correct -- is unthinkable. Virtually every scientific theory of any impact has been opposed by the "consensus" at one point or another.

IMO flagging on HN falls into this darkness too. Frequently people are flagged without knowing why. Would be nice if flaggers had to provide a short sentence of why...
No matter the answer, it will fall short in some scenario.

So I'd say kill the premise instead. Facebook and Twitter should show me things that my friends posted. That's it. If I don't follow someone—or search directly for something—then I don't see it.

There, now you don't need to make tough choices on how to tune your algorithm. There is no algorithm!

Of course, this will reduce engagement and DAU and whatever other metrics they track. But that's a fundamental conflict: earnings vs. neutrality. You can't maximize both.
Wait. Why is it 50c5? If you want to know how many ways you can roll triples with 3 dice, it isn't 6c3, right?

There's 6 possible triple dice combinations and there are 6^3 possible dice combinations, so it's 6/(6^3).

If you wanted to know the odds of rolling 3 dice in order, you could roll: 1, 2, 3 OR 2, 3, 4 OR 3, 4, 5 OR 4, 5, 6 - which is 4/(6^3) - which is not 6c3.

Why is it different with the lottery? Or did I get the dice wrong?

Or are you calculating that the balls can be drawn in any order?

Wait til you discover that the web version of YTM can't chromecast. Yep, Google's own music product can't communicate with Google's own music player product.

The "solution" is to cast the tab. Which means lower bitrate, no music controls, and if you cast to a display device, the whole tab screencasts etc.

I guess it's because nobody important uses the web anymore? Or something?

(Disclaimer: I work at Google. But not on YTM. Most Googlers I know have switched to Spotify, including myself.)

What's really going on here is simple. If you work at Google, your job is too good. There's no struggle. People want a struggle and so they invent one by LARPing as Marxists.

It's simply too risky and will be for the foreseeable future. The liability cost for a semi-accident is huge, not just in lives but in cargo and in the truck itself.

Highways have decent network coverage but nothing close to the levels of reliability necessary to satisfy the actuaries. From a risk perspective, failure mitigation strategies like slowing or stopping are largely hamstrung by the same reliability concerns that prevent the vehicle from simply driving on its own, the vehicle may simply not recognize that the situation is dangerous until it's too late, that's without factoring in the reality that stopping or slowing can actually be extremely dangerous and can't be relied upon as a catch-all fallback. Additionally, I think you're greatly underestimating the practical problems involved in operating a remote emergency-on-call driver system, there's also some questionable economics around the idea of paying to keep someone on call when you could just pay them to drive the truck.

On top of all that there are various other hard problems that need solving like fueling and security. You can be sure that automated trucks hauling valuable cargo will find themselves regularly waylaid by sophisticated criminals who will be greatly encouraged by the lack of a human element to resist their efforts. Truck drivers don't really get paid that much money, the risks just aren't worth it.

completely agree with this. This is why the idea behind Cagan's "Empowered Product Teams" [https://svpg.com/empowered-product-teams/] is so important. Founders are often too blinded by their initial approach of solving their own pain that they are blinded to superior alternatives that could be more easily seen by fresh eyes. Key is to empower those people to solve the problem, not just implement a solution.

This is exactly right. When my employer started requiring apps on my phone, they started paying that phone bill and I got a another one.

Completely aside from denying observability to shitbag panty-sniffers like Google HR, it is important to me to be able to wipe that phone when I leave to know there is no remaining access/sensitive info/etc. while also not wiping anything important to me.

HN has a real problem with both voting-based and flag-based censorship. Graying out comments has led to a weaponization of the downvote.

Mate, going by politics alone I'd wager "those people" would write my opinions off – I'd get called a filthy statist at best, and if they only knew what I really believed... ;)

But I think you've got this wrong. I absolutely want to know what my exposure is to carcinogens, but in the absence of context it isn't helpful. Very few people are equipped to understand and evaluate the real risks they face – and I count myself in this bucket. That's why regulations and governments are a good thing. That's why I want meaningful warning labels that indicate what risks I face over time, not just "there's a carcinogen here".
Also, these companies (not just Google) face the very real threat of outside groups (and nation states) attempting to infiltrate them via new hires. They need full control and detailed forensics for all authorized access devices.

I hate the argument that we’re just waiting for batteries now.

I think if we had variable pricing that matched the availability of renewables, consumers would shift quickly.

Say something like power costs .02/kWh while the sun is shining and .30 when it’s not.

I’d charge my car at work. I’d put a timer on my dryer to turn on at 10am. They probably come out with a hot water heater that goes really hot during the day and coasts through the night. Same idea for your freezer.

Heck I’d even blast my AC to ten degrees below where I want it during the day and then ride out the night.

Hydro plant failures have ocurred, and are far and away the most lethal energy-related accidents to date, true. The worst power plant accident of time, not a nuclear power plant failure, but a hydro station in China, Banqiao Dam.

It's instructive several ways.

Any number of fairly simple methods would have hugely alleviated the impact of the disaster. Much as with major nuclear disasters, it was a cascade of failures, starting with poor management and a dysfunctional culture, amplified through poor design, adverse conditions, poor communications, delayed or absent warnings, and little or no disaster response (many of the deaths were attributed to starvation and disease, not drowning or other physical impacts).

A useful thing to keep in mind, though, is that after a dam break is done being a a massive disaster area, which typically resolves in a few hours to a few weeks, the land is no longer a glowing radioactive mess. It can be re-settled and populated as structures and infrasctructure are rebuilt. Zhumadian City, the region surrounding Banqiao, has a present population of over 7 million.

Hydro disasters have been large, but are tangible/sensible, immediate, and resolve relatively quickly.

There are literally tens of thousand of dams, if not > 100k, worldwide (over 22k in China alone), with well over a century of major utilisation. Granted 100 or fewer major (2+GWe) installations.

There are fewer than 400 nuclear power stations worldwide, with at least three highly notable failures.

The immediate innundation from Banqiao was responsible for ~25k deaths. The additional 100k or so came from starvation and disease due to widespread disruption of the region, and a grossly inadequate disaster response plan and capability. Adequate engineering, operation, management, forecasting, disaster planning, preparation, and response, could have reduced the loss still further.

Organisational / institutional failures at Chernobyl, Fukushima, and for that matter, Hanford and Sellafield, were and are massive contributing factors. These cannot be engineered around.

This part is true. The employer does have more power than most employees. However, the employer isn't permitted the kind of cross-company monopsony that unions are permitted to form. Employers would like to try this and have done so (Apple+Google famous anti-poach being an example). Anti-poaching agreements are illegal and when they take place they've been slapped down.

However, unions have no such restriction. A Google union would affiliate itself with a Facebook union and those with a Kickstarter union and those with a Random Startup union and before you know it you can't go anywhere without being subject to the wisdom common to Google+Facebook. This makes sense to the union: increased power comes with increased size.

If my employer decides they're anti-immigrant I will go elsewhere and be paid just as well. They will lose.
I used to spend 30 minutes a day on a 56kbps connection downloading a new one. I think I made a resident evil 3 skin too.
