Well we could start by making sure super wealthy corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and using that tax money to improve American infrastructure. This “who is going to pay for it” question is nonsense. No one ever asks this when we release massive and inflated military budgets. No one ever asks this when we give tax cuts to the super wealthy, who have more than enough wealth to pay for important infrastructure work while maintaining a lavish lifestyle. Remember that corporations do well when Americans are not falling victim lead poisoning. Corporations do well when young children have their full mental function due to a lack of heavy metals in their water supply.

Who is going to pay for it? Well if we don’t pay for the infrastructure work needed, it will continue to be the innocent children of Flint Michigan who are paying for the shoddy infrastructure with sacrifices to their health and well being.
Turnstile | Early Team (multiple roles) | Full-Time | REMOTE (US/Canada/Mexico) | https://www.tryturnstile.com

---

We're a small (8-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building modern revenue infrastructure for usage-based software. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — everyone has 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders — mid-level ICs through senior leadership — to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Founding Engineer — Frontend Lead
- Founding Engineer — Infrastructure Lead
- Founding Engineers — other (backend/frontend/data/infrastructure)
- Founding Product Designer
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day workweek), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder— if interested, apply directly or shoot jobs@ and me (mike@) an email.

maybe this is a naive perspective, but it seems to me that the union should have more to offer labor than simply middlemanning access to an employer. if people genuinely want to be in the union, it should be hard to find non-union workers.
Making up the R&D costs is not the appropriate benchmark. The companies need a profit to justify the tying up of that capital for a long time.

Upside Financing | Multiple Roles | Remote (US) | https://upsidefinancing.com | Full time

Upside Financing enables Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) businesses to take advantage of extended payment terms for their Inventory and PO purchases. In turn, this allows Brands and Manufacturers to grow at the speed of their business instead of relying on traditional banking relationships or by resorting to dilutive equity raises.

We're a small team of senior engineers who are focused on building great products. Our stack is Elixir/Phoenix (LiveView)/React/Postgres and runs in GCP.

Sounds like a company that overvalues debate for its own sake. I've worked in places like that. "Intellectual sparring" was considered important, even if you basically agreed with the discussion or it was uncontroversial, you were expected to find something to contest in almost every meeting. It was tedious but you could game it by having some stock objections ready to throw out. I moved on from there after a couple of years.

I'm not saying never say anything if something important and relevant is being missed, but in my experience that rarely happens.
This is a text-book example of being a victim of your own success. People have had the perks of union membership for so long, that they no long attribute them to the union. All they see are the costs of the union.

Also, I feel like it's safe to assume that you don't know any teachers or police officers? Both those groups seem to very much support their unions.

"SCUM, or the Society for Cutting Up Men was an idea based on the manifesto of the same name that was released in 1967. At the time, it had been described as satire or parody, until the author attempted to murder Andy Warhol a year later"

Maybe that's they were running around saying that about feminists in the 60s?
I assume it's because you could read it as: the union leaders view this big union victory as an existential threat to labor standards.

(When instead they view Amazon as the existential threat)
Yes, Amazon is allowed to do that. The main caveat is that they have to argue in court that the warehouse would be unprofitable given the union's demands.

> people always show that it has never really been about freedom (emphasis mine)

Which people? They always act this way? It was never about freedom, for anyone? Who could possibly say this authoritatively?

I think the last ~5 years has put a bright light onto freedom of speech. It is a complicated topic with some surprisingly nuanced positions. Does it include the ability to say what you want wherever you want? Or without consequence? There are multiple vectors to it.

I consider myself a free speech advocate. But i have no military fetishism that you claim is one of the root causes for free speech support (a weird combo). I support free speech because... i think people speaking their mind freely is a net positive. That appears to be increasingly controversial these days. That's fine, more room for discussion.

If you used the State monad for the author's interpreter example, and you did it in Racket (your "state of the world" is a cons-list), what would be the run-time of the resulting interpreter? Similar question for streams (although I'm not that familiar with streams, so I don't know how they would apply here, or if they can be implemented without changes to the base language)
I wrote in another comment about my 1978 MGB. You missed a few more fun parts (they might have just been for my model year though):

1. The "springs" under the seats were bent wood slats (my dad and I put in new carpeting and found that one out when we removed the seats).

2. The heater was literally sliding a door to the engine way down the foot well. I remember several winter top down drives in the Midwest where my face and hands were frozen but my legs felt like they were being branded.

3. The manual choke.

4. The small cascade of water in your face when you drove in the rain and took a corner.

5. The electric 5th that seemed to break every few months.

All good memories though.
Porter (YC S20) | Full Time | Full-Stack Engineer | Remote or NYC | https://porter.run

Hi HN, I'm Alexander, co-founder of Porter (https://porter.run). We're building Heroku in your own cloud. We let users link up their own AWS/GCP, point to the code they want to run, and then put the rest of the hosting process on autopilot (CI/CD, SSL, autoscaling, zero downtime deploys, infra monitoring, etc).

We're hiring engineers that are passionate about building tools for developers. If you have some experience with either Typescript or Go, or you're very interested in this space, we'd love to talk with you. As we're a fast-growing seed-stage startup, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very high (daily) velocity.

Some of the technical challenges we face:

* Abstracting Kubernetes - any PaaS spans a variety of use cases, so building a consistent and useful layer of abstraction requires constant awareness of the needs of many user profiles.

* Cloud Agnosticism - one of Porter's main benefits is that you get the same interface for managing services regardless of where you host. Our job is to reduce multi-cloud infrastructure complexity to a unified interface.

* Auto-Generated Frontend - each of our app/add-on templates uses a form.yaml file that programmatically generates a settings UI on the dashboard using a library of our own input primitives. Designing, expanding, and testing the functionality of these templates is non-trivial.

Please apply by sending an email to jobs [at] porter [dot] run or applying through https://www.workatastartup.com/jobs/43716.
Because we don’t think anything can be worse than what we have now.

I don’t know about that; clojure was specifically created with persistent data structures in mind, and it’s definitely as much a lisp as racket is
> major powers exert dominance over their neighbours and want to protect their sphere of influence.

How does that exclude Russia trying to annex Ukraine regardless of whether NATO expanded or not? Russia is power exerting dominance over their neighbors whenever it can. Nato expanding or not is just creating difference in terms of how far and where those wars will be - the countries no in NATO are more likely to be attacked by Russia.

The Russia as purely reactive state with no own ambitions is the fantasy. That is major fault in Mearsheimer’s nonsense theory.

This is nothing to do with liberals or right wing Russian fanboys. I dont know whether it is psychological need to have everything about you. Or whether it is psychological difficulty to imagine other countries (Russia, Ukraine) as real ones. But either way, attempt to explain last decades in Russia purely by other countries joining Nato is absurd.

Hey HN,
We’re an EU based upcoming web dev. company. Currently we have four developers and looking for a place to work:

1. senior dev, mostly scala/akka, angular & react on the front end and a ton of devops / kubernetes experience.

2. senior dev, node/react with the usual webdev ( aws, postgres, firebase etc ). Did embedded / fpga / subghz iot work a while ago

3. junior dev with react / node / java

4. junior - mid dev with react / node
Same thing, with bathroom floor tiles, ceiling panels, etc...

I could make them raise and lower by increasing the 'step' from overlapping by one, to two, to three, etc.
Similar view here. No harm in using a phone and no harm reducing exposure using basic techniques like speaker phone, not talking on it in the car, scheduling your router wifi to turn off during the hours you don't plan on using it, etc.
Much better than shifting from 5th straight into 1st though :)
Again, this has been true for literally every nascent language. Those picking up languages early in their lifecycle find fewer places to use it. As they gain momentum, it becomes easier.

This cycle has played out for C++, Java, Ruby, C#, Python, Golang… and everything else. What makes Rust a hipster fad, but these languages weren't?
> Persistent data structures exist and work very well but they still remain way slower than alternatives that don't support persistence.

Depending on your definition of "way" this is true. A lot of persistent vector-like structures can have quite good performance, but if your runtime is dominated by iteration and random updating, you will still get a speed up by using raw arrays, i.e. guaranteed contiguous blocks of memory.

> This is especially bad if you want the data structure to be shared across multiple threads. Just iterating over a tree now requires taking and releasing oodles of locks.

This is not. The whole point of immutable data structures and concurrency is that iterating over them does not require any locks because the structure won't change! So concurrent reads require absolutely no new code and certainly no locks. For concurrent writes, the usual strategy is a single CAS-like operation at the top-level to swap out the old immutable structure for a new one (e.g. Clojure atoms, Java AtomicReferences, Haskell IORefs, etc.). But that's a single thing for the whole structure, not every level.

In general concurrent update in the functional programming world is handled by CAS not locks.

Why are you saying this is a macOS thing? It's the same for Windows and Linux.
Guy was on a non-4k Monitor saying the Apple Studio 5k was more crisp. Oof.

For me...

I like 2 monitors. Just one is a huge loss to productivity.

I like 4k Monitors. Anything less is unusable.

I like 144hz monitors.

I like matching monitors. I find that if I mix 4k and 1080p I am prone to headaches.

I like monitors where the top is roughly eye level, or even a little bit higher, when I'm sitting down. I feel this helps my posture.

I hate monitors with any sort of light on them that's not coming from the screen. Power lights on the front that are on when I use the monitor make them unusable for me.

I just go with whatever 2 monitors I can afford that match the above criteria.

I expect to pay $750 to $1,000 per monitor. So $1500 to $2000 when I buy new monitors.

I expect the monitors will last around 3 years... likely they can be re-homed after, but like most things I don't think they hold up for me personally after that time.

I couldn't ever afford 2x Apple Studio Displays... I mean... even if I could, I would have more sense.

At one point in the past, about 5-7 years back, the job bought me 2x Apple Thunderbolt Display... and frankly it was nice, but the monitors were so low to the desk they had to be stacked on reams of printer paper to make them usable. I thought it was funny the company spent like $3k on monitors and I still had stacks of printer paper on my desk.

An integration test that creates dummy accounts using every method including SSO and then attempts to bruteforce the password should find “12345678” within an hour.

I think a test like this would also have found the dropbox and macos bugs that let you login to any account by using an empty password:

https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/20/dropbox-security-bug-made-...

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/11/macos...

Edit: Oh, the password was "123qweQWE!@#000000000". Technically doable with an efficient password cracker that favors common patterns. zxcvbn’s entropy estimate says it will take 10^10.5 guesses. That’s 1 week at 50k/s. That’s a hell of an integration test for most software.

Once you acknowledge that unions are useless and bad, yes, this is correct. If unions were actually beneficial to workers, then companies would have a very hard time hiring non-union workers.
