(I was also assuming it would operate like income tax allowances, where you deduct the $1m first and then apply the percentage to the remainder; and we should also consider families, so you could co-own a $2m home without hitting that limit)

The question of which inflation measure the number should keep pace with might be more important in the long term...

I think the concerns would be around the delivery vehicle, which presumably is some big polycationic lipid thing.

From what I can gather, there’s not terribly much info on what’s known about what’s going into people’s bodies, and what info does exist has arisen from a thick soup of trade secrets and conflicts-of-interest.

I am using an Arduino as a simple example. Anyone can look-up the components used to make one, go through the exercise of sourcing them and gain an understanding of supply chain realities in this way.

Generally speaking, products with greater complexity illustrate this problem far better. The problem is it would be impossible for the a reader on HN to dig into this reality due to not having access to the bill of materials, etc.

I have never said I am pushing for a 100% localized supply chain. That would be preposterous. Silly. However, the reality we navigate today isn't good at all. Last year showed the world what can happen.

China is nearly at a 100% single-source position. This varies from industry to industry. And, of course, they are not saying "we have enough, let's stop here", they are laser-focused on bringing in as much business as possible and will absorb as much of the supply chain as possible.

What they have done is admirable and nothing less than remarkable. I don't fault or hate them for it. They work hard and deliver results. They deserve to be where they are.
As much as I respect the founders/alumni that came from PayPal, do any of them still use it?

Forced to use PayPal since 2004 as a small business owner, it was impossible to reach their customer support. They've also left me to fight with insurers when it came to fraudulent transactions.

Glad to hear they built a talented team, but as a customer...

Yes, they are meaningfully different. For one, Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA vaccines, while J&J and AZ are not.

Fair enough, I clearly should have phrased that differently. I simplified the wording at the cost of accuracy. The correct wording would be "We know that it is highly unlikely that there are any side effects that ...".
> You can choose not to do this, though it will probably limit your career prospects in the long run (especially if you're SRE and need a convenient notification solution for when you're on-call).

If a company wants me to be on-call or do any kind of mobile work, they can give me a phone. I let this slide at one job because it was a unicorn where I actually loved the job, but from then I've been able to get corporate phones and it's been key.
I believe you're being humorous, but this has come up in the past. One employer in Wisconsin did it to 100 employees (https://trainingindustry.com/articles/learning-technologies/...), though they did not make it a condition of continued employment. Some states have made it illegal.

The explosion of smartphone technology has made chipping an infeasibly expensive solution in comparison; it hasn't dampened employer desire to do things like this.

Well, the reality on the ground says that drugs being illegal does not actually make them unavailable. That much is clear!

So the idea behind legalization is not "it should be easier to do drugs!" but rather:

1. It's already easy to do drugs, so how can we make it safer to do drugs?

2. Precisely because of drugs' illegality, extraordinary rents are collected by some of the worst humans on earth. Can we make drugs legal and repurpose those rents for education, health, and harm reduction purposes?

Legalization doesn't mean you can buy crystal meth at the local 7-11, it just means you don't buy it from a drug lord cum human trafficker.
I guess it‘s protocol. The same protocol that states that you need to list side-effects probably says if your side-effect list is wrong you have to re-list and get approved again. Until your approval is not done you don‘t get to sell.

Otherwise you could delay your updating your side-effects listing because you know FDA will take your druf off-market (and this delay will/could cause harm to people).

Why would a software company buy this volume of this highly volatile crypto and put it on its balance sheet? Wouldn't the board object?
Why do you think so many US businesses fight against universal healthcare? Employers want every possible measure of control over their employees that they can get.
I've heard that one of the down-sides of underreporting is that, if in the future you want to get a business loan, you won't be able to claim as much past/future cash flow, so the bank won't extend you as much credit. For a plumber who plans to avoid debt, maybe that's fine. For another business that depends on leverage, like real estate, it could be disadvantageous, overall.
I'm a very visual thinker, and this is very cool!

Thank you very much for making it!
Ask HN: How do I find an agent?
I want an agent. I'm a mid career software engineer and I feel like I could be better building a personal brand and finding higher compensation positions. I can do all this myself of course and have, but I'd really like to hire someone whose mission is to advance my career. Find very specific positions, reach out to companies on my behalf, suggest ways I should be advertising myself, do a bit of that advertising on my behalf.

"That's a recruiter/headhunter" - Sure! But specifically I want to pay them and not have them shop me out to companies who might also pay them. I'm fine paying a retainer on top of the standard salary percentage for a new gig.

Have you done this? How did you make it work?
As dictation technology gets better I suspect the keyboard will not be as relevant for entering English text.

One area where dictation does not work well is writing code.

Question: Is there a keyboard optimized for typing programming languages rather than for typing English?
I only have 1 data point but it took me about 2-3 weeks to touch type with Dvorak and I found friends who learned QWERTY took much longer, as much as half a year.

I also was learning piano so that may have been a factor.

> A CS degree isn’t hard to get in the grand scheme of things, and not getting one is basically the equivalent of burning your boat and going all in to whatever alternative path you choose, because if you fail you’ll just end up unemployable later on.

I wouldn't go that far. While the work involved may not be that hard, a CS degree may be inaccessible or a poor fit for many people.

That said, I agree with the premise that it is hard to evaluate self-taught individuals. It is far too easy to have gaps in knowledge if one doesn't approach their studies systematically, it is difficult for the learner to assess their own learning without a realistic baseline to compare against, and too many businesses oversell the quality of their programs (e.g. bootcamps).
I'm a happy colemak user of 3 years. The h argument is pretty interesting. As an English only writer and a programmer, I did not personally find the remaining arguments compelling. But, this goes to show how complicated the selection process is, and appreciate the analysis nonetheless.

If you look at Goldman Sachs or Microsoft, BOTH are investing heavily in tuning their recruitment process to identify and hire neuro-atypical people.

The clipboard nowadays is populated lazily (you do not want that dot call to generate Postscript, svg, pdf, png, gif, and whatever else it can generate while, in the end, you’ll need only one of them), so you would have to keep those processes running until you know nobody needs the data anymore.

That would be quite a change from the traditional pipe model.
No I wouldn't. But then on this side of the pond I have much better protections in law against this sort of thing. That's both from a data protection point of view, but also from an employment law point of view. I was struck by the part in the article where it says:

'However, Samfiru added, an employer can let an employee go "for pretty much any reason" as long as any severance that is owed is paid out.'

Over here, if an employer imposes unreasonable conditions on an employee, that employee refuses, and the employer fires them because of that, then that's unfair dismissal, and the employee can take the employer to an employment tribunal. The main problem at the tribunal would be proving that the refusal to accept the conditions was the reason for dismissal. When I read that "her refusal to download the app was mentioned in her letter of termination", over here the employee would have the employer over a barrel.

It even goes further here. If an employer imposes unreasonable conditions, and the employee resigns because of them, that's constructive dismissal, and the employee can take the employer to the tribunal just like if the employer fired the employee.

The Yahoo Pipes inspiration is obvious I think - which is a good thing. How do you judge the changes between your service and it? As far as I can see, you picked the code heavy approach, while Pipes was more "here is a block that does X". Natto feels to me more like programming, with Pipes being more about composing fixed functions to manipulate data. Conscious choice? Worth the complexity? Do I judge that wrong?
Corporate security has something like this as well - there are little button shaped things on the wall everywhere they scan with their device as they make their rounds.
I disagree completely. As someone from a non-traditional background, I think CS interviews dramatically increases the opportunities for me. I can’t change my background, but I can prepare for coding interviews.

I can’t help but feel that people who think otherwise have never worked in literally any other field for any amount of time. Like it or not, you have to narrow down any candidate pool to like 1% of applicants before doing any sort of in person interviewing. Most places do this by only hiring people with degrees. If you’re talking about a job that’s going to pay as much as a software engineer, you can probably get away with only hiring people from elite universities, or who have connections within the company.

Frankly to me the author comes off as arrogant and entitled. He feels he shouldn’t have to prove his worth because... he ran a failed startup? Then when his friends give him a job, literally the definition of nepotism, that still isn’t good enough? What does OP want? A system where only the best jobs are gained by nepotism?
> A CS degree isn’t hard to get in the grand scheme of things

I’m not going to call it hard quote yet, but I’ve been a bit shocked at just how much the university process is designed specifically for 17/18 years olds prepped and groomed the past few years for it. There seems to be little at all in the way go good education options for working adults and what little is directly targeted at that demographic, even from otherwise legitimate schools, feels extremely (I’d be happy to expand in this but I want to keep this comment short-ish)
I read about Bitcoin here over a decade ago. Took the time to setup a miner, and let it run for a week. I think I generated a few hundred coins worth less than a dollar total. Figured the electricity cost way more than that and deleted it all.
Everything in life has potential epigenetic effects! Not sure what you are trying to communicate with your comment but it sounds like you are saying people should avoid the mRNA vax but then you also say “almost certainly no long term effects.” Your thesis seems to be that 10 years is enough time to know for sure that they are safe. Why is 10 years the right amount of time? Why not 50 years or 5? In other words what’s your model for relative risk/reward and why is it better than what is being done in terms of public health outcomes?

Oh, to be clear: Google will absolutely provide you a phone if you choose not to do this to your personal device.

... but if you're SRE oncall, you'll probably have that phone on you (or at least within hearing distance) at all times when you're on shift. I'd assumed the relevant issue was having a tracking device on your person your employer can access, not whether the employer was footing the bill for the tracking device they encourage you to have on your person.

Again anecdotally: most employees I know just set it up on their personal device. It's more convenient than carrying two devices around when one knows one'll be carrying a smartphone anyway.
People have also gotten rich off the lottery. Doesn't mean that's something you should always bank on. People have different lifestyle desires with various degrees of risk tolerance. There are different locales that benefit to different lifestyles. Understanding that difference allows people to live happier lives. Everyone catering to one lifestyle because a handful of people like it is not exactly ideal for any society.
I think that is likely because the two states have different levels of confidence, similar to how "not guilty" is not the same state as "innocent". It is relatively easy to identify unsafe, especially when negative effects arise quickly. It is harder to reliably determine safe as it may just be a matter of time before negative effects arise.
For me the ROI was about 40 hours of studying for (estimating) about a million dollars delta over my next best job offer over the first five years. That week I spent studying is the most return I've ever achieved per hour. I don't love it and I deeply hated it at the time and still feel dirty to think about it, but from a financial ROI perspective it is unassailable. Honestly I think the opposite of your family-man argument is the case: I couldn't afford to allow my pride to keep me from doing that, for the sake of my family's finances. When I was young and unattached I could (and did) afford to be more idealistic about not doing that kind of gross thing, just for the financial reward.
I’m pretty sure they do because they’re using the system webview.

I use a modified English Dvorak layout where I put symbols that I use often to a nicer position and added Umlauts so that I can type German. For example Alt+j (the key) produces { and Alt+k produces }. Modifying keyboard layouts is simple enough that I don't see why I shouldn't adapt mine to suit me best. I don't type on other people's computers often enough that it matters that I have to hunt and peck there.
If it's a gig job, the better question is, if Uber required this, would you comply? The rest is history...
I have used dvorak for around 15 years now, and I'm very happy with it. Took me 2-3 weeks to type as fast as in QWERTY, and hands feel way more relaxed and easy.

For those who are afraid that it will somehow affect QWERTY typing speed, such fears are totally unfounded, I can type QWERTY as easily as I could before, just with some more strain compared to Dvorak.

That said:

- for developers, the typing speed is not the productivity bottleneck, so you are unlikely to see any real gains

- hotkeys are generally a MESS, especially if you use 2 languages on a system. More so on Windows. Less so on Ubuntu.

I know you mean well, but nothing except literal slavery is slavery, and it's trivializing of enormous injustices to even lightly equate the two.

Only thing useful I can come up is monkey patching without changing the function signature. E.g. smuggling additional data to a function which expects a string like thing.

But I think the whole `new String` is problematic, because it breaks the strict comparison:

let a = "Foo";
let b = new String("Foo");
a === "Foo"
true
b === "Foo"
false

At my last employer, we were asked to install some kind of authentication app (that wanted permission to access all kinds of files, peripherals, etc on the phone)

I just told them I didn't have a compatible device - it's not so far fetched that people don't have an android or iphone.

In the end they provided a clumsy web based workaround to do the same thing.

Outside of tech, I can imagine many people, like the one in this story, are at a disadvantage because they don't know they can plausibly say they don't have a compatible phone, they don't know how to navigate a complicated workaround, and they may be afraid of losing their job.
I haven't personally downvoted you, but I would assume it's for one of two reasons:

1) The distinction if browsers ship their own engine or just embed system provided WebKit is ultimately irrelevant to the question at hand. I can go on the App Store and download "Chrome" or "Firefox" and use those applications to access websites.

2) Browsers do have age ratings on the App Store. It's 17+.
