The value the worker provides to google doesn't vary with location. If someone wants to live in an overpriced urban area, that's their choice. Why should google have to subsidize it?

It shouldn't matter where in the United States you live, NYC, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, or some forsaken place like Indiana, etc.. If you get your work done, you should have the same responsibilities and benefits.
The boss may have no choice… They may have a mandate from senior leadership. Really the system as it is is optimized to extract value from people from whatever level they’re at, with zero regard for their happiness, unless it can marginally impact profitability. That’s why it’s important to just do you. Maybe one day you’ll be a boss, and you’ll make a bad decision, or be forced to make your direct reports do something you disagree with. If that day comes, just know that this is just a job, if you really care, try to make you’re direct reports lives as painless as you can. Your passion can be empathy, the well being of others, in trying to make your corner of the world better, but again, don’t put it into the company. The company isn’t a real person, it doesn’t care about you, it’s a legal structure designed to maximize value extraction.
I'm not much of a foodie, but I do like eating stuff.

I've found that most starred restaurants I've been to are more like participating in some performance art rather than an effort just to not be hungry. Three stars is a blockbuster movie. One star is a good short story or a clever photograph.

It's like sitting down and asking Thomas Keller or April Bloomfield to tell you what's up using just their vision and talent and the contents of their pantry.

I also really appreciate nerds. People who just go all out on something and dive deep or wide or both. Out of curiosity or passion or just good old plain obsession.

While there are whole genres of art I don't get, I find food is a pretty approachable for me.

As an aside, your comment reminded me of a scene from Star Trek. First minute or so of this clip:

Looks far enough away to not have caused anything too serious in Melbourne. Is there anything much closer to the epicenter there that would be harder hit?

The few early news articles I can find seem to confirm not much serious damage in Melbourne.
I have been searching around off and on. I found a HN thread for years ago too!

It seems that people have favourites but there is nothing leading the charge. I know someone that has a barcode reader and wrote ee's own code to parse it for a database, even printing personal barcodes to handle repeats (sentimental value, different format).

I think ISBNs sometimes are different soft vs hard, BUT ISBNs are new and sometimes get reused, plus the barcode might be for a category or "book/zine of series" and not a particular copy.

I know Amazon, and thus goodreads, can now do search by cover - it is amazon, but it does avoid a lot of issues. Goodreads might be best for you just for phone and cover scanning. It is, however, slow. You can use shelves/tags for locations but it is ... slow.

I think the best system would be a combo of cover scanning, cataloging your photo in the entry, and notes of signed/writen notes. BUT for location tying it to a barcode reader that can scan the new shelf's barcode and the book, but that requires personally barcoding books (please use removable stickers!) and is a bit over involved.

Personally, the weird case I really want and am not sure how to peice together is a way to pull good spine photos/digitals. I know mu books by spine so I'd love to see if a book catalog could have a spine database and be used to make a virtual library.

edit: Found the thread. Last I read it did not have anything particularly good, but a few workable options.

I think there's some important context here for people reading this from overseas, geologically Australia is extremely stable as its far from any tectonic plate borders and there's very few large earthquakes here. This quake is one of the largest to happen here. Many people here have never experienced the sort of whole building shaking type of experience we just had.
Because I've experienced the USA doing a social health system in the form of Indian Health Service. If the USA is incapable of doing a great job with a small population then applying it to the population as a whole is suicidal. Watch "Don't get sick after June". Other family members have experienced the tender mercies of the VA.

The whole argument that it will be better with everyone is absurd. You cannot point to other countries examples when we know what the US does. If advocates of changes in the current system cannot fix IHS or the VA then they are incapable of fixing the rest of it.
I have this cover on my wall too. I believe it was from extra copies that FIG or Forth Dimensions had. I see it every day. There was another version I'd seen that had a bit more color and stars in the background. Not sure whose that was.

This was a fascinating read (for someone not in robotics).

Beyond the major points, one snippet stood out to me:

> In becoming robust under varied conditions, the simulated policy can treat the real world as just another instance under the training distribution.

Made me think of the Singularity, how we are approaching it from both sides. Humanity, slowly losing grip on what is real, choosing fantasies, manufacturing belief systems - and machines, learning infinite realities, trying to find the truth from data. It's wild.
I do feel that insurers get the short-end of the stick. The doctors and hospital are the ones charging $257,000. And they're also driving Teslas. I've lost all respect for the hospital system after receiving a $47,000 surprise bill from an ER visit to get a single stitch.

Would you automatically assume Autopilot is not able to see and brake for the pedestrian at night and a human pair of eyes would see better? It’s unclear to me that will be the case. Either way that is a straw-man argument: even in manual driving you have to pay attention to surroundings but that comes at a much bigger cost of briefly letting go of what’s forward. Autopilot is an additional “pair of eyes” if you will and one more safety layer in that scenario (and one that is lower latency once it sees the pedestrian). Either one of you can brake and that might be an argument strongly in favor of such driver assistance systems.
Not much damage in Melbourne, at least so far (hopefully nothing bigger happens, this comment is a couple of hours since the main shock). A few poorly built brick walls have toppled in some places but that's about all.

It was actually pretty easy. Just sell after it dropped 15% and then wait for it to drop another 10%.
If you hold such high standards of truth (despite all of the unverifiable claims you made to bolster your case), then prove it. Take this Quran API and use the language analysis tools available today to prove to us that 90% of the content is rants 'endlessly against infidels and cursing them'.

The outcome of that will also be telling of whether or not you're being truthful of your quantitative experience of the Quran.

There's at least 6,236 verses of the Quran. Get tagging, make it an open source project, I'll contribute.
Thanks for that; very neat!
Like most of the earthquakes I felt in the bay area, I spent most of it thinking it was an unbalanced dryer in the final stages of its cycle.

It roughly felt equivalent to the 2014 Napa Quake (which was also a 6). For normally geologically-quiet Melbourne, however, this would be the strongest quake ever recorded.

What makes you think it's the weak point? Imo the ORM is easily the best bit.

The request-handling and template rendering is in my mind the weakpoint.
The doctors and hospitals are only charging that much because of a long running history of insurers otherwise not paying out.

If they charge $50, insurance will begrudgingly pay $5 if you're lucky.

So you have to charge $5000 for something fairly simple, in order to hopefully get close to $500

This is a bit like a popular hedge fund strategy known as alpha capture. In the alpha capture strategy, funds look at the buy/sell recommendations made by analysts (for example those at the major banks). Applying a systematic approach means that they can measure the accuracy of each individual analyst and choose whether or not to follow along by trading the advice from that person. The best analysts eventually get hired into funds for their picks to be exclusive.

I built something (DueDilly) that works in a similar way by monitoring the performance of Reddit user's stock recommendation and tracking how each idea performs and which users do well. You can choose to trade alongside them based on their track records.

Contrary to what the article suggests, the star system is not really a rating but more of an award. For most people a one star should already the most fantastic restaurant they've had.

Even the restaurant that don't receive a star and figure in the guide should be amongst the best in a region.

So simply figuring in the guide should already be a strong signal that you will get a minimum quality meal.

Whichever side loses is eliminated.

He repeats the process with 12,500 on each side of the position (more because presumably more people will sign up for his "picks") and you keep going from there.

> Scrubs are likely to label a wide variety of moves and tactics as "cheap." For example, performing a throw in fighting games is often called cheap. A throw is a move that grabs an opponent and damages them even while they're defending against all other kinds of attacks. Throws exist specifically to allow you to damage opponents who block and don't attack.

>As far as the game is concerned, throwing is an integral part of the design—it's meant to be there—yet scrubs construct their own set of principles that state they should be totally impervious to all attacks while blocking. Scrubs think of blocking as a kind of magic shield which will protect them indefinitely. Throwing violates the rules in their heads even though it doesn't violate any actual game rule (emphasis added).

>(…) Complaining that you don't want to do X in a game because "it doesn't take skill" is a common scrub complaint. The concept of "skill" is yet another excuse to add fictional rules and avoid making the best moves. Curiously, scrubs often talk about how they have skill whereas other players—very much including the ones who beat them flat out—do not have skill. This might be some sort of ego defense mechanism where people define "skill" as whatever subset of the game they're good at and then elevate that above actually trying to win.

>For example, in Street Fighter scrubs often cling to combos as a measure of skill. A combo is sequence of moves that are unblockable if the first move hits. Combos can be very elaborate and very difficult to pull off. A scrub might be very good at performing difficult combos, but not good at actually winning. They lost to someone with "no skill."

Many HN critics of go are scrubs! The complaints aren’t grounded in reality (writing a useful program on a team) but in beauty (elegant complicated algorithms and programming design, category theory).
Sure, and older software not designed for newer paradigms will always be a problem. All major desktop OSes currently make some compromises to handle HiDPI displays.

Apple doubled the base display from pre-Retina laptops (1440x900), but they offered a higher-resolution display (1680x1050) and that’s what I used then. I’ve always adjusted the resolution on Retina MacBooks to be the one-notch higher-PPI option.
I think there's a stronger argument for personal responsibility with carbon emissions than for voting. If you buy one new car, that increases the demand for cars by 1, which increases the demand for steel by about 1 tonne, which increases the production of steel by almost exactly 1 tonne. (It also increases the price of steel slightly, but probably not enough to decrease the demand for steel by even 1 kg.) Producing a tonne of steel emits 1.85 tonnes of CO₂, so in a year or two, there will be 1.85 tonnes of CO₂ more in the atmosphere than if you hadn't bought that car.

By contrast, the result of any one person's vote in the 02020 election was nil. I don't think there's any person in the world whose vote in 02020, if you'd changed it to some other candidate, would have resulted in a different candidate winning. Whether this is valid consequentialist moral reasoning or not is related to, for example, whether participants in a firing squad are killers.

On the other hand, if you live in Los Angeles, your life is going to suck pretty hard without a car; you won't be able to go to college and you probably won't have a job. Good luck convincing anyone in LA to follow your example after that! Unilaterally opting out of car culture mostly hurts you, though it also has a first-order effect of helping the planet a little bit, in a way that giving your vote to a marginal candidate doesn't. Substantially reducing your carbon footprint requires not self-sacrifice but some kind of collective action, like the massive installation of solar panels across California over the past few years, which in turn was made profitable by the mostly Chinese research and development that has dropped the resources required for solar panels by over an order of magnitude over the last decade.

Or, for example, like the collective action in which NCL (owned by Firestone, General Motors, Standard Oil, and Mack Trucks) bought up the nearly-bankrupt Los Angeles public transportation system in 01944, an act for which they were convicted of antitrust violations in 01949, and converted it from electric to internal combustion engines over the following 19 years, completing the job in 01963.

Corporations are organs of collective action—"coordination", as you put it—so they can sometimes achieve things that individual efforts cannot; because all the people in a corporation can act together (for example, under the command of management) to do something that would be counterproductive if only a few of them were doing it.

Also, though, there are better uses of computers than congratulating yourself on seeing through "obvious sophistry" and not being so "dull-witted" as to think [insert obvious strawman argument].

I got so interested in reading the whole thread, that I quite lost track of time…

Sorry about that!

There are never too many shell lessons. It’s a painless entry into imperative programming for those who have never written their own scripts, and a reasonable amount of pain for those who have, and now seek atonement for their diabolical legacy.
Bryan Cantril had a great rant about this a few years ago. He made the point that if you go back to the 60s, the corporate values of basically every company had "integrity" right near the top. Plenty of capitalist companies past and present choose to act in ethical ways.

This isn't an essential problem with capitalism, any more than food poisoning is an essential problem with restraunts. The problem comes from how some people run their companies. Money gives you the power to do what you want. Whether or not they realise it, people in high up positions at FB, Uber and elsewhere are powerful. They have the capacity to choose what their companies do. Claiming their unethical behaviour is "the fault of capitalism" is like a plumber blaming weak building standards for their own shoddy work.

Do better.

And don't place the blame for unethical behaviour amongst our community on capitalism. People chose to build and maintain all of these system. And people continue to choose to keep those systems running long after knowing the harm they cause.
Then ignore them? The beauty of voluntary systems is that they can thrive or fail and the only people impacted are those that choose to use them.

The SEC picks and chooses which rules to enforce and which parties to police, monetary policy is decided by authorities with no input from or regard for 99.9% of the population.

It's not surprising that people would opt-in to building alternatives with transparent and programmatic rules. It's also not surprising that these alternative systems will be fiercely fought after being ignored and laughed at, and it won't be surprising when they win.

I consider myself quite the foodie and have eaten at numerous Michelin star restaurants, but I don't really care for them much anymore.

However, I'll point out one exception. I ate at CORE by Clare Smyth* in London a couple years ago and it is my favorite meal I've ever had. It was too new to be in the Michelin Guide, but now has 3 stars. What made this experience different was that the food was accessible. It was impeccable, the service was amazing, but I think that anyone can go there and appreciate how good the food is.

First, the marginal returns are diminishing once you get past a certain point. I lived in SF for several years and the enjoyment I had at $50 plate restaurants was pretty equivalent to $150 places.

Second, the "top" restaurants are incredibly inaccessible. Sometimes it comes down to the ingredients being very hard to work with, and they have the talent and the time to wrangle them. If you don't know that, it's underwhelming. If you do know that and you're honest with yourself, it's still often underwhelming.

* Clare Smyth was the head chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, a 3 Michelin star restaurant, from 2012-2016. Among other awards, she was Good Food Guide's 2013 National Chef of the Year, World's Best Female Chef 2018 by the World's 50 Best Restaurants, and in 2018 CORE was named Best Restaurant at the GQ Food and Drink Awards.

This is an excellent hardware project! Open hardware e-reader is definitely a step in the right direction.

However, I like to believe that the future of books is independent of hardware. Platform agnostic and liberated from hardware––so to speak. If hardware is the go-to consumer experience, then the dead-tree medium isn't doing bad either.

The real deal is a pure software solution that blends the world of books and the web together into a single unified resource that is both open and accessible to everyone. A Netflix of books, perhaps–although, I know this idea has failed a couple of times already. Just my 2 cents.

I'm gonna recommend Fukuoka, Japan. The city is large enough to have many creature comforts, but small enough that you can 'get out' and experience the countryside very easily.

Compared to Tokyo you will likely save a good amount of money on rent and transport. You'll probably pay around $400 for a simple room near the city center. You can cycle almost everywhere, Fukuoka is much flatter than Tokyo, or just use the subway. The city center is very walkable.

Eating out is cheap and high quality. You'll probably pay $5-10 for a basic meal, or $30 for a lot of food with alcoholic drinks.

Depending on your nationality you might be able to get a working holiday visa, which is a good way to experience Japan in general.

Some downsides: It's very difficult to get into Japan right now, English is not widely spoken.

EDIT: Just realised you stated your age as 31 and the working holiday visa is only for people up to age 30.
