It's interesting how people talk about "depreciation" of an item that pretty much never, if ever, increases in value.
It's unclear from the article, but there are plenty of roles (eg. if you work at the Genius bar, etc) where it doesn't make sense to hire an interpreter.

> $46,000/year is $3833/month, which if you go by this calculator for mortgage payments [1] is less than an $800k house. If you live in the Bay Area, you know that you can't buy a shack for $800k unless it's in the Tenderloin.

They were including $4,000/month rent in the original calculations. If you're talking about buying on a mortgage then you should be using $7833/month.
It's even worse than that. Developers are building huge skyscrapers full of housing. Problem is, it's all luxury housing, well above average prices for comparable square footage. Then, people who don't want that luxury will end up stretching their budgets to buy it due to a lack of options in their price range. Developers have huge influence on local politics, so I don't really see a way to escape this.

I can't answer that question because I am a native English speaker, but I can say, I would probably not use that phrase around non-native English speakers. It's confusing and could be misinterpreted. Generally one would want to avoid using idioms like that when trying to cross a language barrier.
The ADA already requires Apple Stores to provide interpretation services or other reasonable accommodations for customers, so it's not much more of an ask to provide those for employees as well.
> in order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases

The CDC revised the definition of "vaccine" in Sept. 2021, to clarify that they are non-sterilizing, i.e. they do not prevent (only reduce) the spread of communicable diseases, but instead protect an individual from serious illness.

Hopefully this will reset layperson expectations to match the science of intramuscular vaccines and observed data, e.g. infection and transmission have been shown by multiple studies to be present in Covid-vaccinated populations.

There are nasal vaccines in trials which may offer sterilizing mucosal immunity from Covid.
I think most of the "feature sizes" that Charles Babbage worked with were smaller than that.

300mm is actually a standard wafer size. I think that's what most modern fabs use now; there was some push to move to 450, but I think the major players have all determined it to be more trouble than it's worth for now. I don't keep up-to-date on these sorts of things though so maybe 450mm wafers are used for some significant products now.

That said, the wafer size doesn't really tell you anything about how advanced their lithography is.
I bought an iPhone from an Apple Store employee who couldn't speak but used a phone to communicate with me by typing out their messages. It was perfectly fine.

I'm a bit surprised speech to text these days wouldn't basically take you as far as you need to go for a deaf employee.

That said, if you take away jobs with a large communication component from the deaf, that rules out A LOT. I think reasonable accommodations should be provided, versus saying "most jobs are unreasonable for you to have."
+1 As a society we want to do all we can to accommodate the handicapped so they can work, and many deaf persons are extremely effective lip-readers able to handle retail customer interactions. If Richard's lip-reading isn't up to the job, a non customer facing role would be better for Richard, either that or have Richard do email and message chat customer interactions that are compatible with his deafness.
Luckily children under 13 are not allowed to use twitter
I suppose I'm not presenting any data here, but of course? I mean anyone who publishes anything approaching dark humor is going to be closer to the line than something like a children's cartoon twitter account.
Common sense feels very uncommon these days.
Get some good wireless headphones. When there's a meeting and you don't have a leading speaking part, walk around the house during the call. Get a Fitbit, doing this puts 10,000 steps a day easily in reach.

Lots of coding tasks? When you start a server or compilation/build, do some pushups or curls (alternate every other day).

Look for other ways to do small exercises during 'gaps' in your day.

Good luck!

- what you're referring to is called 3D shoulders at the Mr. Olympia level

- most bodybuilders are on roids, but they're also doing an extreme number of sets, often 10 sets, so that's the main reason for the 3D effect.

I was huge (couldn't walk through doors normally) but natural, not quite 3D, though natty pros used to stare at me, especially when I worked in on their sets.

Mostly I slept a lot and ate about 3,500 calories a day. I did a lot of Arnold's bicep concentration exercises (nobody else did that at Gold's) and maxed out all the upper body machines. I was planning to do the Thomas Inch lift (only roids have done that), but never got around to it.

I recommend if you're an engineer, stay small since nobody needs otherwise in the office.

You can learn a lot from watching Youtube videos by the Mr. Olympias - they're PhD level on lifting and nutrition, but stay small.

This is a stolen/uncredited rehost on a garbage blog from a Russian source from almost a month ago: https://www.ixbt.com/news/2021/08/24/4600-chery-qq-ice-cream...

This website has the same content word for word in English, likely just put through Google Translate: https://www.worldstockmarket.net/a-modern-electric-car-for-4... but properly cites the Russian blog.

I was able to find the original source by reverse-searching the images used. IXBT cites another Russian blog as the source https://newsyou.info/chery-predstavil-neobychnyj-elektromobi... but altered the wording. That blog in turn cites another Russian blog with different wording: https://avtodream.org/vse-novosti/novinki/40708-chery-predst... which cites yet another Russian blog incorrectly and the trail is lost.

Regardless, the OP site isn't the original source and the site itself is barely a year old, consisting entirely of stolen content. That site is also tied to another 4 day old website that consists entirely of stolen content: technewsspace.com - the sites share the same Google Adsense code: CA-pub-8819900454201426

Sorry, the company type has (LLC, LP, LLP, c-Corp, s-Corp, etc) has literally nothing to do with that.

Tech start-ups are typically incorporated as c-corps as their structure makes it easier to grant options, startups don’t want to make tax distributions if they make money, LLCs can’t issue preferred shares, and s-corps can’t have more than 100 shareholders, etc. just to name a few.

No one at Cargill or Bloomberg thinks twice about whether the equity is in a c-Corp to LP (all else’s being equal)
Ask HN: If you work in infra, how's the social situation?
I work in a large infra organization at one of the big tech companies. I like almost everything about my job and I feel like the infra space is right for me.

But one thing I really don't like is the social situation. Pretty much everyone in the org has a family and/or isn't interested in the social aspect of work. They are all personable and kind, but they aren't there to socialize -- it's just their job.

As someone who doesn't have a family and is only a couple of years out of college, this lack of socialization has been pretty tough. I wonder if it's this way everywhere or if big tech infra just attracts people who are working for the money and don't particularly care about socialization.

So I wonder: if you work in infra, does this resonate with you? How do you deal with it (or do you)?
CarFax gets data from state governments. If you move to Georgia, you'll register your car in Georgia, and the DMV will tell CarFax. Then the CarFax history will contain 'registered in Georgia on xx/xx/xxxx.'

Same if you take the car for service to a shop in New Jersey; if the shop participates with CarFax then the record will include 'oil change and tire rotation @ (shop name), NJ w/ 3,300 miles' or something roughly along those lines.

- Linux is NOT about the distribution but the kernel, it's about what the kernel can do.
- Distribution is a way to wrap up what the kernel can do into a more manageable way.

The pure libertarian position here is "they have a right to do this, but it is a bad idea".

Sorry, but the interpreter is going to need to be trained to have an understanding. They would likely be paid just as much if not more. It adds quite a bit of friction because interactions will take at least twice as long. It is not a reasonable accommodation. The interpreter would probably be able to help the customer faster alone.
San Francisco avoids this particular problem by having the walk signal turn on automatically when the car signal is green — no need to hit a button (most intersections don't have buttons at all, and the ones that exist aren't even hooked up to the light).

I don't know if this would translate well to other cities — SF has a very pedestrian-friendly layout with narrow, slow streets , small blocks, and short light cycles — but it works well enough here that it might be worth trying elsewhere.

As time goes on, Apple, the de-facto emperor of tech, will lose more of its clothes. They haven't had anything new in 10 years and each year their keynotes get more typical and lacklustre. Yet, Cook is up there using all sorts of superlatives, doing cargo cult innovation.

Specially with ElasticSearch there is a huge difference between the time needed to set it up and the time needed to index it, making sure you don't crash your production DB while doing so, maintaining the index as the tiniest incorrect index insertion can mess up the entire index, and finally making sure the nodes in production don't run out of memory or other resources without extensive and property monitoring in production this is a perfect recipe for downtime. So I see their point.

Since I saw no defense of the interpreter, are you agreeing hiring an interpreter is not a reasonable accommodation?

Now, we should invent a new way to speak. Each of us needs something that removes ambiguity and includes only short, easy to pronounce words. We will find it easy not to accidently say the wrong thing. Such that the right things will flow almost unconciously. People will be more free knowing communication can happen without having to overthink it. Eutopia would be soon to follow. Anyway, just a thought. K

Agreed. I got into cnc. I use a Shapeoko 3 and 4. Both are xxl. Started on wood and then transitioned to non-ferrous metals. First aluminum and now copper alloys like bronze. Metal is a big step because you really learn about feeds and speeds. I use Fusion 360 which costs but it’s the best IMO. Amazing intersection of engineering and art.
I’ve also been a customer at establishments with deaf employees and none of them ever had a sign language interpreter.

Providing an iPad to type messages on is a reasonable accommodation. Customers who don’t like it can work with another employee or go elsewhere.

But hiring a second entire employee who basically shadows you and does your job for you seems like a bit much.
It is definitely a bit of a conundrum though. One must keep in mind that the United States is and near or more always has been a welfare state. We're supposed to have governments and organizations to come up with solutions to these types of societal problems we encounter.

The way you seem to be looking at it - yes, I mostly agree that the company should not outright be expected to essentially hire another fully time employee to work as the deaf employees interpreter. But in the 21st century, in the developed country that is the United States, I very much feel as if there should be some way to quickly and reasonably pair this employee with a student(s) of a local sign language or whatever school/program in which they come and go assisting in translation services for part of school credit/curriculum/outreach. Anybody learning a language will tell you there's nothing better than real world experience.

This gives the disabled (in the form of being deaf) person a meaningful occupation/independence, and students an assured way to get important experience. However, since the US is a highly capitalistic machine, we seem to not have reasonable things such as this set up on any meaningful scale.

Lots of downvoting. Do HN users have beef with disability accomodations or something?
The joke is completely understandable to anybody that speaks Spanish too. In fact, many languages have idioms about exchanging body parts for something.
I dislike the whole idea of recommendations as a consumer. Give me great search results when I search, but please don't tell me what to watch. Recommendations are just ads in that sense.
The problem with that is that the person's intent isn't to cross the language barrier.

Many languages have idioms involving body parts like this. In French it's couter les yeux de la tete, similar in Italian where it's costare un occhio della testa. One in Mandarin that means something different is 削足适履, about cutting your feet to fit your shoes.

I get that idioms don't always translate well (some actually do, especially literal ones that are less referential like cost an arm and a leg) but I'd be careful before invoking misunderstanding with theoretical groups of non-english speakers.
Yes that's the rational assessment.

The joke gets worse!

Your premise is that the US, UK, and Australia just went about this as though they didn’t know exactly how France would react and that what they did was stupid and unintentional, and that they believe that France or the EU are important strategic partners.

What I would say is that I question this premise. It’s not Trump. I don’t doubt for a second that this reaction is something of a surprise for the allies we’re discussing. So the question is why? I don’t think incompetence is a compelling answer given the current administration.

> Viewed in that light, I don't think geopolitics is very relevant – whatever the value of France as an ally or partner, needlessly offending them is just stupid.

Right. I think the US, UK, and Australia simply don’t value the EU as a partner against China. Or maybe there’s another explanation. It would take a lot of convincing that this is just ignorance or stupidity on behalf of three different countries. They either don’t care, or there is something else at play.
