Every year more tech jobs are added and not that many more people get into tech. The demand for tech workers starkly outpaces supply, especially in the United States.

On top of this this a small number of companies operating in the Bay Area now make up a sizeable chunk of the global economy. Their revenues and profit margins are so large that they can afford to pay sums that are quite high compared to what other employers were typically used to paying. These large tech companies also have effectively an unlimited demand for talent so this drives up prices quite a bit, especially at the top of the market.

People in tech often have pretty comfortable jobs too. Switching costs are high. They already have a good job, they might even already have a great job - it's hard to lure people away from that.
I can see some practical joke potential here.

Not responding to random requests isn't necessarily hubris. I personally ignore must be at least 5 attempts to get my attention per day (how many emails, phone calls and texts do you get that you don't care about?). It's not hubris, I just don't know or have any reason to care who they are. Really depends exactly what was in those communications.
Imperialism with chinese characteristics. And they have "integrated" so many into this Han-Ethno-state by force. Some are barely visible by now.

The Cantonese, the Mongol-Northeners, the Koreans, the uighurs and by now the HongKongers.
Always remember the backlash though, when the empires power fails and falters. This can reach genocidal levels of backlash against the ex-overlords.

Great point. I like to compare work capacity to exercise capacity. Too much exercise will actually harm your fitness rather than improve it. However, reasonable exertions, combined with appropriate rest, will improve your fitness over time.

Like exercise capacity, one's ability to work hard can also be improved through practice. This doesn't mean pulling all-nighters and chugging caffeine to override the sleepiness, though. It means setting incremental goals to try a little bit harder and then following up with proper rest and recovery.

For example, if you install time tracking software and measure that you spend 3 hours in your code editor every day (a reasonable amount for someone working an 8-hour day, due to time spent reading documentation, in meetings, and other activities), it would be a mistake to set a goal to spend 6 hours in your code editor. You'll get burned out and hate it.

However, if you set a goal to spend 3.5 hours in your code editor every day, you can likely find low-impact ways to make that happen. Maybe you're more efficient with transitioning from meetings back to coding. Or maybe you cut down time spent reading articles on HN or Twitter by 30 minutes and apply it to coding instead.

Over the course of a 5-day work week, that extra 30 minutes per day adds up to almost 3 hours extra work. If your starting point was 3 hours per day, you've basically added an extra work day to your week without giving up much.

Nor is there any mention of Ralph Alpher, who predicted the cosmic microwave background as a consequence of the big bang, well before it was accidentally discovered, and also showed that the cosmic abundances of hydrogen and helium can be predicted from the big bang - two results important to the theory's acceptance.

Alpher was a doctoral student of Gamow's.

To be fair, we can't expect a book review to be a comprehensive review article on a big topic.
Giving that much money to a landlord is absolutely terrifying to me given the history of landlords I’ve had. I’d much rather own the property and deal with any transaction costs associated with selling.
Evolution is the propagation of traits of individuals who survived and reproduced and whose offspring survived and reproduced. In a modern developed country survival is less uncertain but reproduction of healthy individuals is actually more uncertain as can be seen by looking at the birth rates in essentially any developed country. As a result, traits that affect certain behaviors, such as underlying desire to reproduce, are likely under more intense selection pressure now than any traits in all of human history.
I built a 2000-era PC a few years ago, and it brought back memories of how much I hated using/configuring IDE back in the day. I've had IDE drives become flaky for no obvious reason.

Nice Image You've Got There. Shame If It Got Memed
Bingo!

It's been a while since I looked into it, but last time I checked, I couldn't find any evidence behind "hard work".

This article kind of sums it up: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-success-come...

> If you wake up in the morning full of vim and vigor, bounding out the door and into the world to take your shot, you didn't choose to be that way

Your coworkers that come into work early ready to crush through the workload in anticipation, and when the day is over, can't find the will to stop working, because frankly there is nothing outside their work that they are more passionate and excited about so they keep working. Well they are not finding it hard to do so, it's the opposite in fact, they'll find it hard to not work and do other things.

In your case, I think the conclusion is important as well:

> What if you've been unlucky in life? There should be consolation in the fact that studies show that what is important in the long run is not success so much as living a meaningful life. And that is the result of having family and friends, setting long-range goals, meeting challenges with courage and conviction, and being true to yourself.

Success is overated, and I've known people where success actually hid a deeper loss of enjoying life without self-judgement and constant comparison to others.
I don't understand how this can possibly work. If someone can break into your house, occupy it, and gain the right to stay, can't you just do the same? Then you have two occupants in the house. What the heck kind of law or arbitration gets to determine who is allowed to occupy the beds in the house and use the kitchen?
But it was the headline of the NYT article. While the history presented in the book review is interesting, it also seems relevant that a headline in the "paper of record" mischaracterizes what a theory is. Which is relevant in this case because "It's just a theory" trivializes that theory in a lot of popular discourse.
It is surely true for the density part. However I have now seen bike lanes that are two years old that would be efficiently « unjammed » by doubling.
Another great aspect of bike density is that when you double the lane you allow way more traffic. When you are slow and small, you don’t need much space to overtake a slow electric bike.
> However, vaccines only target spike protein, while a previous infection will cause your body to produce antibodies for a much larger set of targets on the virus, which in practice leads to a more robust immunity. This is supported by data from Israel and some recent studies

No, it does not.

The data from Israel only supports the claim that immunity from infection is longer lasting than from the vaccine, which should not have been a surprise to anyone.

It does not support any specific mechanistic explanation.

I used to work with tungsten carbide cubes during my PhD thesis. They're used in multianvil high-pressure synthesis. With the right setup you can reach almost 20 GPa of pressure. Not as much as with diamond anvil cells, but you have more reasonable sample sizes (a few milligrams). And thats still like the pressure pretty deep into Earth's mantle.

I also used the opportunity to snap a neat picture of a polished WC cube: https://imgur.com/C2YiMqb.jpg

I always had fun handing them over to students because everyone is surprised by the sheer weight of these things.

Tungsten carbide is actually quite dangerous after it has been subjected to a lot of stress (Such as being stuck into a 1000 t press for a high-pressure synthesis). They have the mean tendecy to explode into super sharp pieces when you're not expecting it, so wear goggles.
Why would that be bad for our own national security interests if we have our own semiconductor lines?

What else does Taiwan offer to the US?

We have "strategic bases" everywhere. One being 100 miles from mainland china versus 200 miles makes no difference to US in the 21st century.

It sounds to me like you tried to purchase from a seller who expected to be paid in USD, not BTC (which doesn't need a "processor"). Do you really not know why this is a silly complaint - especially given the context?

I don’t know why so many companies implement the cookie banner in such an intentionally obtrusive way. Has there ever been any instance ever of a company being fined because their cookie banner was confined to a small widget with an X in the bottom of the page?

It’s not like framing your “consent screen” in a giant modal is going to make up for the 100 checkboxes behind the “advanced” link that each require a separate HTTP request to disable. Or that after disabling them, you’re lucky if they stay disabled for longer than the page session. And it doesn’t shake the feeling that “disabling” a tracker generates more signal than the tracker itself.

Anyone who implements this at their company is an idiot and an enabler. The profiteering companies encouraging the practice are little better then Outbrain, Disqus or Google AMP – an absolute cancer on the web. Oh, and I bet they’ve got lobbyists too. If you work as a developer at a company building consent modals, you are truly a useful idiot.

Raising interest rates makes everything else more expensive.

When people talk about how raising interest rates lowers the cost of housing what they really mean is that interest rates lower the value of income streams derived from monopolies and land is the biggest monopoly of them all. Monopolies basically can do perfect price discrimination, the more money you have, the more the monopolist can charge. Thus the obvious solution of giving people more money doesn't seem to work.

Raising interest rates is basically the opposite. What if we take everyone's money away? If people have less money the monopolists will charge lower prices. This didn't really solve the monopoly problem. After all, the monopoly allows perfect price discrimination. If the monopoly power is strong enough to get 30% of your salary it will always get 30% of your salary no matter how high it is. What really happened is that you now have less money to buy non monopoly goods.

Here are the practical implications: You can spend $1000 per month on your mortgage at 5% interest or -5% interest. The -5% interest house is significantly more expensive but the monthly payment is still the same. You still lose $1000 no matter what you do.
If the healthy and able population overwhelmingly traveled via bike, alternate forms of transit would gain too because currently they are being CRUSHED by the amount of road traffic in many cities. Busses that move at a crawl. At-grade trains limited by traffic intersections. Taxis and ambulances fighting traffic. Etc.

Show HN: With a 9-5 job and 2 kids I have finally finished my first MVP
Hello HN crowd.
I worked on this project on weekends and evenings. I'm excited I made it into a presentable MVP, and it is so satisfying.

I would like to get some honest feedback from this great community.

I made https://freeoptionscreener.com/, to scratch a personal itch. I myself trade options as a hobby, and I didn't find a screener that satisfies my need to be able to explore raw options data freely and without preset constraints. So I made this app that allows playing with options market data and extract interesting opportunities.

The techs used:
- Laravel + Jquery + Mysql
- Tradier API for market data
- DigitalOcean for hosting
- OVH for domain name

It costs me 5$/month to run the website. I'll be glade to continue if it proves to be a viable product in the long run and maybe I will take it to the next level and try monetize it.
Note: the app is not suitable for phone screens yet, although this is a planned feature.
Fork-awesome v1.2 just released
After 2.5 years, there's a new fork-awesome release!

Fork-awesome is a set of ~800 free icons available as an icon-font. It's a community fork of font-awesome, started in 2016 when that project closed their build process and stopped accepting pull requests.

The fork-awesome maintainers got overwhelmed with other things and the project stalled. I initiated a revival with some others, and after a couple months of catching up with technical debt, we made our first release a coupe hours ago :)

The project is a bit behind the times... What would bring you the most value for us to focus on?

> No one will invest in real estate if property rights cannot be enforced.

Good! "Real-estate as investment" is one factor responsible for the above-inflation rise of property values. It's part of why housing is unaffordable in so many areas. Non primary residences should be taxed out the nose.
We need to build more cities from scratch.
Which, unless I am terribly wrong, involves ideographic characters and not alphabetic. This should be a major obstacle.

Also, if OP enjoys smoking pot, that might be an issue as per family who lives there it will be a big change vs coming from California.

Personally when traveling in Krakow and Warsaw I've found more racism against brown people lately vs 10 years ago... random cabbies and bartenders going on unprovoked rants against immigrants. Not sure if that's been one-off but that was surprising for me at least.

Microsoft was forced to make a leadership change back in 2000 to avoid being broken up.

This is just the thing. As soon as you have deviating opinions, now you're instantly extreme. Do you know that I consider the Reddit rules and ideas extreme?

What people like you doesn't seem to understand is the wind is only blowing in your direction for now, it will not stay like that forever. It's sad that people have forgotten the importance of free speech and that censorship has been popularized.

I was building PCs during this time. One thing I didn't see mentioned in TFA was that the 'master' (drive 0) MUST be located at the end of the cable. The 'slave' had to be in the middle.

The jumpers were easy to figure out and not as complicated as the author makes out. Contrary to the experience that na85 had; "Cable Select" _never_ worked for me.

Yes it was a time of chaos and frustration, but I learned more in that period then I did since then. Hard core hardware lessons.

Note: most IRQ jumpers and motherboard jumpers were the same size as the drive jumpers. I was never at a loss for jumpers, but I did manage to lose them a lot.

It's not like that money disappears. Just think of it like buying gold bullion.

> fully type-annotated python

When I do that, I ask myself: "how is it different from writing Java code?". I don't have a clear answer. It becomes almost as verbose as Java. Java has better type validation (doesn't compile on mistake); it is faster (at least some payback for verbosity); real type system has additional advantages, for example using types as part of method signature.
The system and the app C runtimes are one and the same in Win10+.

As far as cross-DLL interop: the usual solution was to avoid the C stdlib altogether, and just use the underlying Win32 API functions to manage memory that has to cross the boundary. Or, in the COM land, every object manages its own heap memory, exposing it via the ABI-standard IUnknown::Release.
In the South Bay Area, the SR-17 highway to Santa Cruz also presents a significant bottleneck. On hot weekend days everyone tries to drive to the beach, and the traffic gets backed up onto surface streets so badly that Los Gatos residents are literally trapped in their homes. There is a bus line but it's not a practical option for most people.
>I don’t do anything security related — I’m a lowly bare metal programmer

Sorry to make an example of you but this kind of attitude is the problem. Everyone does something security related. If something is giving input to the machine (that could be typing on a keyboard, collecting data from a sensor, or anything else), you have to care about security. Even if security means in your context sanitizing inputs to make sure you don't overflow and crash, or write something to the screen you're not supposed to, etc.

Nah. First, actually being good at leet and knowing about hashing and such are not in opposition. In odd way, leet exercises makes lead to math parts of it.

And second, non leet devs are not some kind of safety panacea. The worst are people who don't care at all. Many have not heard of basics.

Third, if you actually decide that security is important and try to learn it, you will find resources are rare. There is very little of it targeted at developers. There is no shared knowledge base. There are no commonly known processes. Nothing like that.

So even if you care and try, you end up learning very little.
Generally such languages are so abstract that they lose usefulness in practice. Because something can be done, doesn't mean it should. Writing a simple recursive descent parser with a Lexer's token stream is much easier than doing bytestream ingestion on the fly, especially for a beginner.
