> The premium calculations are illogical and inefficient. Bad drivers are subsidized by good ones

Good drivers subsidizing bad ones is the entire concept of an insurance pool. The corrective mechanism is that if a driver reveals themselves to be bad enough, you make them stop driving.
As someone who’s wasted probably 80+ hours in the last 2 years getting through to the offer stage only to find that none will match my current comp (all of whom were coy at the outset about comp), fuck this opinion. I’ve now learned to check Levels.fyi and, if the company/role are not posted there, will explicitly ask at the outset to ensure I’m not wasting any more of my time (surprise surprise, most of them can’t match it either-asking has literally never cost me a role I wanted but it’s saved me numerous interviews by this point). I’m not taking a pay cut for your company, great as you think it is, so if my skills aren’t worth the premium to you, it’s best we find that out beforehand.

You are right, in tax policy "progressive" has a specific meaning, which is to increase with increasing income or consumption. Starting a tax low and increasing it over time would be considered a "phase-in".

No. A web server (or firewall or orchestrator overlay network or whatever) absolutely knows what IP address is connecting to it. It has to send data back to it. Pretty basic TCP/IP stack stuff.

I've got one word for you: China.

The US can't just cut off China without serious second order effects rippling through the economy. Therefore, it won't happen. And, if you can't get China to cooperate, none of it matters. They're currently the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses, have publicly said they'll be increasing their emissions for some time, and have not committed to net zero before 2060.

Reuse of content in new context doesn’t have to be a boring clone.

Disney would regularly reuse animations of characters between animated films to save money. It did not necessarily take away from the wrapping content’s best moments or overall entertainment value.

For example dancing reveries and other sequences in Robin Hood used rotoscoping heavily. [1]

There’s no doubt the reuse was cheap but in some ways that allowed the designers to focus on new characters and scenes.

The argument that OP may or may not have intended is that any change in Google Maps benefits a fraction of “everybody” that equal to Google Maps’ share of the market. That’s maybe 80-90%. Telling users of Google Maps that their contribution is worthless if they don’t submit it to a free & open database may be net-negative if only a small fraction gets discouraged from contributing altogether.

This is bad logic.

Gun laws are still useful when prosecuting a person who wasn’t initially arrested for violating the gun law. This is a lot like how seatbelt laws are enforced most of the time.

And as the sibling commenter mentioned, the details are in how a law is enforced. If the law is simply too difficult to prosecute, then we can’t expect it to be used effectively.
Interesting that's not what I'm seeing in my area. Here, houses doubled, maybe tripled in "value" over the last 10+ years. But that's from 200k to 600k which doesn't mean my salary has to double or triple, just that it takes longer to pay off. But working in tech, the last thing I do is complain since it's still quite doable. For a median income, true, not so much.

Real estate isn't everything though, definitely not enough to judge living standards. I might be wrong but though.
Francis Fukayama and "the end of history" comes to mind. I do think there's truth in the line of reasoning here. Firstly, pushing over a weakened wall you lit fires against these last 70 years is hardly a thumping victory. Meantime, the benefits of military spending got you there but now the cash needs to be spent other ways the US is struggling to convert over and has hollowed out its economy to consumer dominated, little manufacturing and huge dependence on adversarial external sources of goods and raw materials.

Hollow victory? Many British people believe Germany won the peace. Arguably Japan did too. The upsides for forced reconstruction which appear to have passed the USSR by because of kleptocracy.

Given another spin of the wheel with better computing, maybe central planning in the USSR would have arrived at a different place: consider Vietnam which still runs many national public monopolies, and has a mixed economy with state planning.

The USA is still the dominant economy, but it needs to
look to the foundations, infrastructure, the necessary shift to green energy, social dislocation, lack of public health. Russia is not the real enemy, nuclear arms aside, as most politicians recognize. Casting out at China is a very odd move to take, with no significant point of tension Taiwan aside.

That can't be true, because the community is in no position to answer your question. The only people who could would be the people inside YC who actually know why they chose not to list compensation with their job ad. I don't have a clue what the answer is, and certainly nobody outside YC would.

There isn't any particular connection between how YC hires for its teams internally and what the HN community thinks or feels about such things. Both are perfectly valid questions, but they're unrelated.
This article on ESPN has some anecdotes of events in his career, and I think it's really good:

One thing I remember that I rarely read about is him being involved with marketing for Florsheim shoes. My dad had extra wide feet and for whatever reason the Florsheim dress shoes were the ones he liked to wear for work. On a couple of occasions as a kid I got dragged along with him to the Florsheim store in the mall so he could get shoes. I think this was in the mid-to-late 80s. They had what was basically a video game cabinet, except it was like a guided sales catalog or shoe picker, and it was narrated by John Madden. At least it was something I could mess with instead of sitting around looking at shoes.
This is a great idea.

Some engineers will complain they didn’t sign up for this, but those ones aren’t truly committed to figuring how to make things better for the deliverers, and you could argue it’s a wash to watch them go elsewhere.

As long as they let them (engineers who work at door dash) do two things I would love this myself (as an engineer, who doesn’t have to do labor or gig jobs)

1) - let them keep the same money DoorDash drivers would get
2) - give them as much credits in door dash food as the customers they’ve served ordered.
(Maybe 3) - provide a cheap reliable fuel efficient vehicle

This both proves it isn’t about skimping costs by making engineers deliver cuz they would lose more this way, but they probably would get super motivated engineers (those that stay), who would be motivated to figure out how to get more customers.

You've said this a few times so I'm going to call you on it.

Can you point to a few examples? Specifically, do any of your Twitter posts disagree with the CCP's official stance on censorship, human rights, international relations, international boundaries, democracy, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Tiananmen Square? Are any of your comments critical of specific, highly ranking CCP officials?

Or, are your comments limited to economic policy and other similarly non-controversial issues?

> I think that misses the magic of games for a significant population of gamers.

I don't doubt that some people are enjoying this, and I think that's great; meditative games are fine. But I've never played a meditative game and been tempted to pay real money to turn it off.

I think there's a little bit of wishful, optimistic projection about player intention that happens during these conversations, because if everyone playing the games felt the way you describe, then the monetization model wouldn't work.

We have games that have chores in them (Animal Crossing springs to mind). And we have repetitive games. And we have MMOs where people like to grind. None of that is a failure of design. But what you notice is that in the best instances of these games where people actually like the grind, they pay money to play the game, not to stop playing it. When a player is earning $10 every 4-6 hours by automating chopping logs, that's a sign that some of your playerbase isn't enjoying what's happening to them. They're sending the clearest possible economic signal they can that the grind isn't a positive or rewarding experience for them.

We can talk about the people who do enjoy the grind or get something out of it, but I feel like we're all kind of lying to ourselves if we say that's the primary experience happening with the vast majority of players. Games wouldn't make money from microtransactions unless a nontrivial portion of their playerbase thought it was valuable to skip gameplay. You won't make very much money giving players ways to skip gameplay unless you're confident that a nontrivial portion of your playerbase won't find that gameplay rewarding.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but how are you going to afford food if all the techies leave?

Every economy (not just nations) trades with its neighbors and has imports and exports. One of San Francisco's imports is food. But what does San Francisco produce to export/trade for that food?

Today one of the exports is generalized "tech" (software licenses, X as a Service, design of products that are built in China).

What else? When tech leaves, what do you produce that can be sold to people outside San Francisco?

If you look at any former rust-belt mill town, it's not just the factory workers that are affected when the plant closes. Unemployed mill workers can't afford new trucks (so salespeople make less). They can't afford haircuts, so the barber closes up shop. The can't afford to go out to eat or drink, so the entire service industry feels the pain.
Not a phenomenon limited to the former Soviet Union, for what it's worth.
>This is intentional because it means that you can't be tracked, since "your" key on Facebook and "your" key on GitHub are no more related to each other than "my" key on Facebook is to "your" key on GitHub.

I get the motivation behind it, but the mechanism I proposed in the last comment still preserves those properties? Each site would still get its own derived ECDSA public key. The master ECDSA public key would only be shown to the user and is to be kept within the browser. If a user wants to enroll a not-present security token, the browser will take the ECDSA public key and derive a public key to present to the site, so the site still can't track users using security tokens.
Yes this is a valid point.

It seems to be the prevailing theory that any misfortune befalling these countries is due primarily to the west.

Clothing production in historical contexts (including Roman) is usually a household activity. This mostly means it's done by women of all classes, if only perhaps as a show of virtue. A glove-making device, as a personal item, might show up randomly any place they were used.

Conspicuously expensive household items would also not be unknown. It makes some sense that the bronze survivors may be those owned by wealthy women, where the bulk of those used may be (unlikely to survive) wood.
It shows having had 2 doses of the vaccine increases your chances to get infected with Omicron compared to having none. Considerably.

Jevon's Paradox, as mentioned in the article, has a corollary: if you have decreased the cost of using a resource so much that new products are created to exploit it... then you have new products, which create job demand in different sectors.

For example, graphene production is gradually exiting the lab these days. Graphene is still really expensive. But in small quantities it can be blended to add strength to concrete, which already makes new kinds of concrete products possible - a small transitional step, improving existing construction methods. But as it gets cheaper, we might start to see all-graphene objects with completely new applications, which then transform entire categories of goods and services - a light, strong material using a plentiful resource. If graphene lives up to the ballyhoo, it'd be Plastics 2, Greener This Time.

The question of "enough jobs to go around" is something that can be expressed through capital deployment. When there is a hot new sector, capital rushes into it. So the profits in one sector can end up being harnessed by the others to finance their development, given functioning capital markets providing appropriate liquidity(hardly a constant throughout history). There are a lot of things we could be financing that don't have the right time horizons or paths to investment for our financial system, and we can't change our workforce allocations instantly.

Edit: I consistently misspelled "graphene"

> Colorado State Senator Jessie Danielson would make you believe it's more likely that millions of companies are "bad actors" than that she just doesn't have the relevant experience in business to predict which way her bill was going to work out.

I think this misses the point, and I think the idea of a "huge surface area for conflict" also misses the point.

In the end, unless an entity is a public benefit corp or a not-for-profit, the literal sole goal is to profit. "Reducing surface area for conflict" is one of many steps on the way to the goal for profit, and if cutting out Colorado is less painful to profits than disclosing salaries and opening up that conflict surface, then that's naturally what will happen.

Colorado doesn't really need to apologize. They made a bet that their state was relevant to remote work, and they lost that bet for some number of companies (I can think of plenty with no Colorado carve-outs and with specific disclosures due to Colorado despite not having a presence in the state, so clearly some firms think the talent pool is worthwhile), and that's to be expected given Colorado isn't one of the most populous states in the country. That calculus quickly changes for many more companies if it turns out the population of remote talent in Colorado is trending upward and worth tapping into, or if California etc pass similar legislation.
We can use technology to shrink our consumption. It seems like the author's actual evidence is the weakest areas of the green tech, they don't take on the strengths of wind and solar or the innovations on batteries and EVs and electric bikes and busses. Instead the author takes on pie on the sky futuristic tech which is still nascent and may not pan out in the long run. Obviously green tech looks bad if you're only looking at hydrogen, CCS, direct air capture, those aren't even 1% of the development of one of the above mentioned domains.

Ask HN: How do you evaluate QA hires?
My small, early-stage software startup would like to formalize and level up the rigor behind the quality of our releases. But all of the companies I've worked for in my career have either A) leaned on engineers to do QA (with mixed success), or B) didn't have QA integrated into an engineering team, as a siloed function.

As a result I don't really have a sharp instinct for what makes a "great" QA specialist stand out from the crowd, so: how do other companies here hire for that expertise?

As in, people who can embed in a product/engineering team, take responsibility for release quality (but not absolve engineers of responsibility for it), and build a team culture around release excellence that is "greater" than what our engineers can achieve on their own. I'm curious how other startups approach this challenge, in 2022.

After reading through recent threads on HN on the subject [1][2], it seems like the crowd here believes that embedding QA in the development process as an equal collaborator with engineers is the right way to go; and also having had our engineers try out several automated test systems like Ghost Inspector, Rainforest QA, getting more in the habit of unit testing and so on, which certainly help—I'm thinking it still makes sense to actually have people embedded in our team, whose focus are on release quality.
