Search for unicorn startups in Brazil (there aren’t that much) and look for devs from those places on LinkedIn. The tech talent is usually good.

If you pay US salaries, by mentioning salary upfront you will have a lot of interest. If you pay even top 1% Brazilian salary, they will probably stay where they are.

How long has _ existed?
I'm having a hard time imagining the scenario you're worried about. You can run out of gas just as easily in the wilderness as electric; in either case you have a fuel meter in your truck telling you how much is left so that you don't run out. If roadside assistance can reach you to deliver gas, they can also reach you to tow you to a charging station. If you're stuck in a blizzard while low on gas, that's much worse than being stuck while low on electric: a gallon of gas will only idle the engine to provide heat for 1-2 hours, while a 5% charge in an F-150 Lightning can run a cabin heater and charge your phones for about 21 hours (and no risk of CO poisoning).
The range. An F150 can be ordered with a 30-something gallon gas tank. So 500-600 miles is nothing.

Pulling a heavy trailer (say 8,000lbs) will take that down to 10mpg but the electric model might not even break 100 miles towing.
I reckon that the wire transfer is one of those things where you get a ton of warnings from your bank that the transaction is normally not reversible, at least it is at my bank. I think it's unfortunate that there are any legitimate transactions that require wire transfers -- I definitely am not someone who endorses the status quo here.

I guess my take is that all crypto transactions have properties strictly worse than the worst type of bank transfer. In addition to being irreversible when you initiate them, they are also irreversible if someone fraudulently initiates them on your behalf. And there is no more secure option that you can use with crypto. There is to my knowledge nothing in the crypto space with security properties similar to an ACH transfer.

Latin American here. In my last year of college, I got a pretty decently-paid job at a local IT/tech company. Later that year I got hired by a FAANG, and my salary grew threefold. No wonder most of my college friends moved abroad as well.

In my country, the retail industry dreads Amazon's looming expansion. They've started hiring ex-Amazonians to try to catch up. I wonder if they've raised the salaries to match.
> First off, you're plain wrong about Python

They’re not. The syntax was changed sometime between Python 3.8 and 3.10 to stop working (which should be a big hint about the consensus here).

As I suspected, that it worked was accidental from the very beginning: https://bugs.python.org/issue40631#msg384094

> Why `console.log` fails on `((...x))` is not because the function can't take arrays as arguments (in fact, it can: `console.log(["hello","world"])` works fine), but rather because it's running into another spec: inline arrow function notation, i.e., `(...x) => true`. So the spec (because it's so confusing) thinks I'm trying to define a function.

What does taking arrays as arguments have to do with anything? Are you suggesting `console.log((...x))` should be equivalent to `console.log([...x])`?

`(...x)` doesn’t fail to work because some kind of syntax conflict with arrow functions[1]. It fails to work because it’s not defined in the language, and it’s not defined in the language because it doesn’t make sense. You’re the only person who seems to think it does.

And if you want to use parentheses for readability, you should write `...(expr)`, `*(expr)`, etcetera.

[1] f((a = {})) and f((a = {}) => {}), for example, are both valid expressions where the inner parentheses mean completely different things, analogous to the ellipsis.

I think that banning general purpose computers only makes sense if you believe AI cannot be controlled. A more reasonable approach would be to design the program in such a way that by its very nature, fulfills certain criteria that cannot be escaped. Think of a linear type system or substructural logic. You have a core calculus which keeps track of resources and effects so that computation has no way to propagate outwards unchecked. Safety is not so much imposed by some external guard condition, but woven into the very fabric of computation itself.

The life expectancy of people with similar living conditions to Amazon's high-paid employees is higher than average. The correct comparison is with people who have similar living conditions, except significantly lower stress levels, which is higher still.

Which is besides the point. Who works for Amazon for 30 years? Amazon hasn't been around for 30 years, and their turnover is high enough that I expect it'll be a while before they have any 30-year employees, excluding the owners. So Amazon workers probably wouldn't have a life expectancy as low as 50, regardless, even if working there did make your body degrade twice as fast.

Scaling up production is not all about expertise, but mostly about existing production capacities and how quickly they can be retooled for another production.

In the absence of any forcing function they would miraculously end up excluding black students.

Probably true, but it still does not mean that any given forcing function is necessary (or even on balance helpful, considering side effects). Each has to be evaluated on its own merits.

Just saying "We gotta do something!" does not mean that something has to quotas - or evaluation systems functionally equivalent to quotas, as Harvard has been accused of doing.

People who continue to believe that racism both current and historical has no impact call any form of affirmative action a quota.

We're getting off topic, here - which refers to the (soft) quota system alleged to be in use at Harvard.

Whether plaintiffs ultimately prevail or not - which of course can hinge on a myriad of technical factors - theirs is on the surface a plausible argument, based specific criteria (and hard data).

And not, as you describe, an instance of "calling any form of affirmative action a quota".

But even more to the point: If you're going to advocate a forcing function that is either explicitly, or functionally equivalent to quota system - then just call it what it is, please.
The ROI on that was many many many times higer than on electric trucks, just wait til it gets cold and you will see people start complaining.
> This was the same as my last job.

There's a class of HN comments that combine "I'm being mistreated" with "not the first time it's happened to me."

If separate groups of people have the same reaction, it's worth considering common factors, notably the commenters themselves. (Other valid but less likely options include systemic bias or very bad luck.)

That said, I empathize with the described lack of connection in remote work. Wishing the commenter a turn of good luck soon.

> It's possible that your bargaining position vis-a-vis the ERP company would be worse if you were an employee. But probably not if you were a founder. And surely the ERP company's bargaining position relative to your company is better than yours.

I don't think that this is the case as the value they add comes with opinion entrenched in the belief of the path that their product should take. This opinion actually has caused them to flat out refuse to do some work which in my opinion is an opportunity to make things better for the company that has originally taken on this ERP system as their central authority of information. I actually came in from a friend of mine who knew that I was familiar with Coldfusion. Ultimately in my exploration for knowledge I have become intimately entrapped by the ERP data model based on the simple fact that it is esoteric and inflexible which has in fact been proven by how the front-end interface is a kludge of C++ utilities, C#, and some shell scripts. Upgrades continue to happen but they give me 0 faith that the small company that they are (ERP) has a clear path to less of a kludge of a system. It gives me solace that as long as their opinions are strong contrary to the revenue model of my employer that in fact I will be useful for a long time. The moment the ERP company actually understands the niche they are pursuing is the moment I will have less of a potential for work. Until then they can fight their way upstream against their customers as much as they like and their customers will hedge their bets until they can migrate to something better. It is assumed I am less in line with the directive of the customer and have my own agenda against the ERP company when in fact I am elongating the runway for my company to operate until they have a better plan to migrate away to a solution that doesn't assume so much about their customers. Manufacturing knows they have to evolve yet they have made past decisions that they realize they can only mitigate by extending their systems without having to pay the high prices their vendors request. How is this not a good strategy? It's not like I am a contractor and trust me when I say that my company is better off with my SPOF than just the SPOF of their ERP company. Lose the ERP company and you not only lose the company and their regular updates but you lose the custom development of that company which will be 10 times more when the developers that were fired become independent contractors themselves.

It's just business.

Most farm vehicles I know spend their lives pottering around on a farm. They don’t need the range you’re talking about.
I guess that's one way a Culture-like society could get started. Thanks for the link!
As a farmer, what breaking news do you come to HN for? I keep hearing vague murmurs from past colleagues about how agtech is the next big thing so I'm genuinely curious.
Yep, but maybe learn to cook so when they come home it's all good.
Again the problem to me is he is clearly pointing and publicly asking "Big Tech" to censor more, "deplatform" more...take more control of "right" speech vs "wrong" speech. The fact that even a government official calls it "Big Tech"; he publicly calling this current "curation" of companies a M0n0poly? I thought monopolies are ill…3gal?

And your point even with Ivermectin, a treatment option that not only costs pennies a dose (no profit in that for "Big Pharma" eh?)...but what exactly was the preferred treatment guidelines for Covid aside from taking a "kind of effective", "doesn't stop the spread", "Costed global tax payers b1ll1i0nz", "can still go to the hospital" vaccines? Was it because B1G Ph4rma didn't make their $xxx...$xxxx "treatment pill" yet?

And what exactly was irresponsible with Ivermectin? Did you have a problem with Monoclonal anti-bodies as well? You do realize this had interesting data and science coming out of Japan, India and other countries who deployed and utilized these drug trials? Isn't that how global science and "Open Science" should work? Smart scientists putting out shared research papers, working together to collaborate on new treatments, try different things, new studies and truly show smart human effectiveness and collaboration? Instead this has been ANYTHING such that, rather a few companies that put out a never-ending number of vaccine doses x billions of people times x dollars…? Also there can be no other effective treatments or ideas otherwise...if not, you must be CENSORED by "BIG TECH" for calling out "BIG PHARMA".

Come on now. This doesn't seem like a government or government official of "We the people"; more like, "Do what we say or else you should be censored". Maybe it is I, disillusioned? I thought it was Thomas Jefferson who said "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty" - but I believe some folks took his monument down about a year ago in some protests? Hmm, how ironic? I guess my idea of the United States of America was the people here were tired of some Kings sh1t and an Authoritarian government telling them what the darn to do, so they formed a Constitutional Republic which stated every man is a King in this land and no one can tell them what to do? Is that not the law, Common Law I believe? Regardless, I always viewed "America" as way more badass than letting some handful of "Big Tech" and "Big Pharma" corporate PAX backed politicians and government tell you what to say or do.

I think at the very core root, you have a different view and vision of the government than I do. I personally don’t want any person or any government telling me what to do, what I should think, how I should think, and what is “right” speak or “wrong speak. And I prefer to see all the data and all the science, but somehow this has been blocked for 75 years? What?! Oh. Am I not allowed to write that? Is that not true?
> The biggest problem science is facing is not an external threat from a rabble of ignorant science deniers, but the complete degradation of quality within the scientific institutions themselves.

With respect, you can make this criticism about every single field and discipline. This is because the endemic problems under discussion have nothing to do with science per se, but are unique to the human condition.
Interesting point. Do you think were it not for outrage economy, would US tackle it faster/slower/at the same rate? Maybe the reason for outrage economy is that there is a fair amount of things to be outraged about.
Yeah, it looks like range is the biggest complaint. That's fair. I don't use my truck for long trips because of poor gas mileage. I just use it for hauling things like wood, and I'm fortunate enough to have a good mill and multiple hardware stores within 20 miles of me, so range is basically a non-issue.

But I get where you're coming from. This would be more attractive in the future when there are more charging stations (if they are fast).
175 miles seem to be a huge distance for me and I can't imagine not passing by at least one big city with standardized charging infrastructure.

> In your opinion, when was most scientific research not flawed or "useless"?

How long has it been since replicating someone else's study to validate the results was routinely part of the scientific process?

>The replication crisis is an ongoing methodological crisis in which it has been found that the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method, such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially of substantial parts of scientific knowledge.

American Affairs Journal is a relatively new magazine, and has leaned heavily to promoting America First protectionism and Trumpism — its editor eventually wrote that he regretted voting for Trump.

I think the subject of the article is interesting and I’m looking forward to reading more about OWS in the years ahead. However, I think the true point of the article is to put this understanding of OWS on the political framework of the article’s many unsupported assertion. So, please read critically.
Realistically if you just want to try out someone else's contract in a safe environment, the existence of the test nets is entirely irrelevant.

The contract is going to be at a different address, all the accounts involved are entirely different, the state of the contract is different. Even proving a contract at one address is the same as the contract at another address is non-trivial.

Pretending the existence of a test net proves anything is a lot like pretending the availability of source for your OS, compiler and dependency stack proves something. Maybe possibly for a professional with unlimited time, but that's it.
