Solution: stop trying to do the exact opposite of the thing that hurt, because big surprise, that’ll hurt too. I don’t understand why we have such a hard time figuring this out. Too much time sleeping through intro to logic, I suppose.

You start with an easy one to prove you’re not completely insane for considering this idea. You move to the hard ones to make sure you’re not going up a blind alley. By the time you’re done, they’ll all be easier (and if they aren’t, then pain is information. Use it.)

If you haven’t done the hardest one by the midpoint, odds are good someone is relying on wishful thinking. But doing the hardest one first is masochism.

Software is written by humans. Humans need confidence, and practice. Jumping into the deep end will just teach them not to try. People who can do the hardest one first? Aren’t looking for advice, and so you don’t need to write with them as the target audience.
Sorry - should've been more clear. It's a project written by the staff in Java and Angular. It's been used continuously through the years, evolving each semester with the best contributions being merged. I believe it's a health management service, I haven't taken the course yet.
> This doesn't go away unless there's incentive for companies to pay them more than they absolutely have to, and treat them better than they absolutely must.

So? My company has no incentive to pay me any more than they absolutely have to, or treat me any better than they are forced to. They pay me well and treat me very well, because the market says they have to.

That incentive doesn't limit the upper bound quality of life of employees in any meaningful way, unless changing jobs is illegal.

> ...Gained advantages from production efficiencies are being routed by globalisation - the claimed 'uplifting' force for the poor...

I'm not sure exactly what the argument is there, but America's problems are certainly not linked to new corporations entering the American market due to globalisation. If anything, the problem is that the jobs America would use to make poor people wealthy and satisfied are leaving and going to places like Bengaluru, where they will in time raise local living standards substantially.

It is difficult to argue that globalisation is hurting America and India simultaneously. India is strictly better off, and America is arguably better off under standard economic theory.

> consider now the growing wage disparity in the US

The US does a lot of stupid stuff economically speaking, like everyone else. The zeitgeist of US politics for the last 12+ years has been all about protecting failing institutions from change and they are paying a price for that. But that has not so much to do with globalisation.
This video is about an hour long and is by Medcram, a person/group that makes continuing education credits for doctors. While I generally don't trust doctors, I would consult with this one.
There are several good comments in here explaining cases and reasons to build instead of buy. But they are all techical and miss one critical thing: human motivation.

Nobody cares about your bussiness as much as you. The motivation behind your product/service provider is to take your money. Buying will always be a battle with the other party to get value for your money. They are strongly motivated to offer as little work for as much money as they can get away with because there is where profit is made.

The provider might even be more competent than you in building. But think about hiring a good programmer that just doesn't want to work vs a mediocre one that is highly motivated. I think everybody has come across these examples and knows the outcomes.

I hope the next batch of laptops will allow at least 32GB. I was going to replace the 2015 MBA I'm typing on now with this new one, but after seeing how well games - even unoptimized ones like Cities:Skylines run on the current MBA I started to consider that perhaps I could abandon my Windows gaming machine and just go full time Mac.

But I subscribe to far too many mods in Cities:Skylines to get away with 16GB of RAM - unfortunately.

This MBA is way past expiration date so hopefully I don't have to wait more than six months (I suspect a fairly safe bet).

You missed the point that it’s about user preference. The shell works better for you, that’s great.

My setup is specifically crafted between my text editor (that has a terminal that I use all the time) and a few GUI tools that I’ve got customized and scripted. I like a mix of shell and GUI. That’s my preference.

You’re right that it isn’t as portable as my dot files repo (and I have one of those too), but I do actually have it set so I can quickly restore the whole config on a Mac and restore the text editor portion from Windows, or really any machine with a web browser.

If you are constantly using different machines on the regular, yeah, being good at shell commands makes sense. But it still comes down to personal preference and people who like other methods aren’t inferior.
...except those are the books I read. I don’t find it implausible at all that a major expert on foreign affairs has book about Churchill, etc. on his shelf.
A ML Tip, to optimize training
I agree with you on that many jobs are bullshit jobs. They just exists to get money, but it is something everyone could live without. Lots of things could get easily automated. I do not know, but people fear automation. Is it not the goal that people could work less? But if you work less, then you get paid less, so we need a way to give people money gained from automation, so everyone can enjoy their life without doing bullshit jobs.

It is never going to stop if people not doing bullshit jobs means they do not get money. We need a system for this. People should chill, lay back, let the automation tool do its job. People should not worry about not being able to do bullshit jobs for money. :/
Compared to a threaded CPU implementation, it only pays off if your image is already sitting in VRAM. This kind of operation should be primarily limited by memory bandwidth, so you're just making it take longer by copying the image to VRAM and copying the diff back.
Itanium was a failure mainly due to HP's ineptness. Well, Intel's ineptness at trusting HP to execute too.
I'd say the appeal is the implicit support promises. Any ARM/RISC-V/etc SBC that isn't the Raspberry Pi has the big fear attached-- will there be long-term driver and OS support, or do you get a box of binary drivers that won't be updated after the first release. A commodity x86-64 CPU and Intel iGPU will be supported on basically any OS for the foreseeable future.

From the "About" page, since it isn't so clear what is happening on the main page:

> Africa in the Photobook is a website initiated in 2015 by photographer and (photo)historian Ben Krewinkel. The website is about the changing visual representation of Africa as expressed through the medium of the photobook. By showcasing book spreads the books become partly accessible to a wider public and function as a platform for students, collectors and experts to talk about the content of the books. People can engage with each other through a Facebook page as well.

> Africa in the Photobook is looking for books made by African artists or books printed in African countries, but also focusses on books made outside the continent by non-African photographers and writers. This is especially the case for books produced during the colonial era.

>By showing books, the website doesn’t want to suggest to agree with the content, since many books tend to be highly propagandistic and sometimes blatant paternalistic and/or even racist.

> The research and writing process for the first publication titled Africa in the Photobook; Colonial Africa 1880s-1950s is made possible by the Mondriaan Fund.
I think it was intentionally "raised to eleven." Supposed to be a somewhat satirical take on where things were headed. That said, I couldn't cite why I think that.

Hopefully the next rise or WSL, Windows Terminal, and the OSS PowerShell will help that.

I’ve anecdotally noticed more people using or willing to use PowerShell in some scenarios, now that it’s at parity on Mac and Linux (there are a few things in old-school classic Windows PowerShell that don’t work on Mac/Linux but the future direction and support is all x-platform) and it’s certainly easier to get a Linux shell running in Windows than ever before.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft but not on any of these tools.

> Society needs to move forward.

Yes it does. We need to fight against the anti-democratic and anti-free speech people rotting this country from the inside.

> We have career health officials getting credible death threats due to wild conspiracies about Coronavirus or even 5G

Oh god this nonsense. Morons of all stripes threaten public officials from watching CNN to youtube. If death threats are the grounds for censorship, then are you okay shutting down your favorite propaganda outlets?

> They can talk to each other, no one is stopping them.

Apparently youtube is. But you support that. But I'm betting you are the type of controlling people that wants to stop people communicating altogether about things you don't like.

> And what a hyperbolic reply from you. USSR?

Hyperbolic indeed.

Lots of partisan deflection on both sides.

It's the same silly talking points over and over again. By both sides.
I would support steep fines for speeders and racers, with the proceeds going to a racetrack they would be free to use.

$35/year is a pittance for the flexibility you get with a second number, the extra functionality is an added benefit.
Actually, the current dichotomy in the economy could mean the rebound does happen quite quickly.

Much of the country is, economically, doing great: they're still employed, they've been saving a ton of money because they're working from home, not traveling and not going out as much, and their home equity and stocks are doing great.

Much of the country is doing horribly: their industries have been decimated, they're unemployed and way behind on rent.

However, when a vaccine comes out, there will be huge pent up demand from the first group to go out and spend money, which will largely end up going to people in the second group. Small businesses have been killed but I think new businesses will open very quickly once the pandemic is over.
It’s strange to see you advocate for 35mph. In many parts of Southern England I saw 20mph become the norm.

It makes a lot of sense in terms of road safety as well as noise, and makes little to no difference to journey times.
5W for the Pi, 60W for the screen is about 550kWh per year, or around 200kg of CO2 (give or take your local energy mix). That's about 10% of an average Indian's emissions.
> some kind of union to keep up the price of bounties, with like a middle agent pricing the bounty and disclosing the vulnerability if the price isn't met

So a hacker group that will blackmail companies?

$7500 for spending anywhere less than a month on something is a pretty decent compensation.

You also seem to forget that despite the fairness of the compensation, disclosing the vulnerability could damage real users, in this case Facebook’s.

If you think $7500 for finding something like this is not enough, you shouldn’t do it. You wouldn’t clean toilets for $1 a month either right?
Got a mystery down vote on my comment. Just FYI, whimsicalism, I didn't downvote you (or anyone in these comments for that matter). But to answer you, I"m not talking about populations at large being uplifted, I"m talking about what's at the very bottom. I'm also talking about the middle to lower class in the US. The notion that access to human rights will continue to increase monotonically for everyone by default isn't bearing out in the present day, at best, people are trading places across the globe. The mid-West of the US with the upper-middle-class of China, for instance.
Ask HN: Extremely high pay for gray area job?
I am in a very gray area of software (think online gambling, cryptocurrency, offshore banking and payments, pornography, but none of these) and am an expert in the tech side. The firm I work at has the CTO retiring and they are offering me the position. Given the craziness of the legal structure (shells around shells) I won't have any equity but my total comp per year will be 7 figures.

My wife is very religious and both of us grew up lower middle class. This is a life changing amount of money we never anticipated. They company lawyers and external lawyers have convinced me in several calls that I am safe legally, but there is precedent for similar people (but different legal structure) going to jail for ancillary things.

I am almost certainly going to take this role, but can anyone offer advice? I'm not even sure what I am asking, other than relevant advice, links, etc. for people who have worked close to the edge of legality. Thanks for reading, I hope I didn't offend you.
The campaigns in the last election cost $14 billion[0] (for Congress subtract the $6.6B the Presidential race used). That's a lot of money to raise. It's likely to be a major factor in Congress' paralysis: some significant amount of attention is being diverted away from lawmaking for the common good and instead towards finding ways to raise enough cash to simply stay in office.

The number of dollars spent on federal elections is starting to approach the magnitude of the revenue other large industries (such as cars or movies). So the effect of money in US politics cannot be understated.

This idea goes back a long way. In 1923 42,000 Cincinnati residents petitioned for mandatory speed governors to limit cars to 25 miles per hour [1]. This was an era when pedestrians typically owned the streets, so the advent of high-speed traffic caused a lot of pedestrian deaths.

>>Kelly just takes this (dubious, reductive) reading of Hegel, which was spun into apologetics for Prussian absolutism, and spins it into apologetics for contemporary tech entrepreneurship.

There's a lot of bias packed into this one sentence.

Firstly, it's biased toward the presupposition that Kelly's take is dubious/reductive. That is what actually needs to be demonstrated, as opposed to accepted as an axiom for secondary arguments.

Secondly, it focuses on "Prussian absolutism", a term which conjurs a vague association to fascism, to the exclusion of all other less foreboding developments associated with Kelly's line of thinking. This suggests a manipulative, agenda-driven characterization of Kelly's theology.

Thirdly, it presupposes that tech entrepreneurship is a generally objectionable phenomenon, and that defenses of it are merely apologism. Again you need to demonstrate your presupposition to be true, rather than implying it's an irrefutable fact that can be used as an axiom on which to discuss the issue.

This kind of snide counter-culture cynicism - where you take the role of a crusading critic of The Man - seems profound to the naive, but has little substance.

Recurrent networks don't give you a matrix back. They return a state machine. Qualitatively different.

Transitioning from a function that returns a scalar, to returning a polynomial, to returning an arbitrary function, and now to returning something stateful is a big difference. I suppose the next step is to write an algorithm that trains a Turing machine.

I've heard this argument before a lot, but I imagine it doesn't actually apply. Although the likelihood of harming another is reduced by the fact that it's night and there are fewer people around, the likelihood is increased by (1) reduced visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, (2) likely reduced mental clarity due to the fact that it's late, (3) both pedestrians and drivers behaving more carelessly because they think there is a reduced chance of risk as a result of sparsity (meta, eh?). My guess would be that accidents are equally likely if not more likely at night as a result, so folks should be prudent at night.
Yes but the full-market index is at all-time highs. Valuations have just shifted around.
This is such a bizarre and honestly offensive take. Jobs that went away were things like waiters, bartenders, event planners, theater performers, etc. These aren't BS jobs at all, and the stuff they enabled (going out to restaurants, seeing a live show, traveling) are things that were sorely missed by many.

On the contrary, I'm still employed, and it's much easier to argue I have a bullshit job. I don't want to go into too much detail but will just say my job only exists due to the absurd complexity of the US healthcare system.
