Oh, the US _economy_ is incredibly strong, opportunity abounds, and looking at the headwinds other economies around the world will face in decades to come I would guess it will only get better in comparison to the rest of the world...it just kind of sucks to live here in most places, and the ones that don't are crazy expensive. Think of the US as a farm for humans.
few months will hardly cover honeymoon period, so it can help if he can realize things quickly but some things take at least 1-2 years to start coming to you
Whenever I searched for anything similar it was not avaible in the EU. I think EU has no regulation on access to phone numbers. About the only thing that got regulated is emergency calls on 112. E.g. Germany has national regulation that non-residents need a special area code, which is not widely used and expensive to call to. Would not be surprised if it had also connectivity problems from various providers. But each country is completely different, so I wouldn't expect that anyone builds reasonable services based on phone numbers.
The same way you check what you buy from an online store: by the number and content of the negative reviews or downvotes. But they don't exist here because inclusivity is wanted more than quality.
zoom has let agile east coast firms work with international contractors which i expect to compress US freelance rates and inflate international rates towards the US mean. the only markets you gain access to by moving to Princeton is NYC and west coast timezones as remote worker. my main question is how you will source contracts which is the determinant of if you are competing with local or remote talent. My NYC contracts, as a freelancer living in Philadelphia, all came from NYC software meetups combined with a strong online presence in the relevant community. Cities in the US are not nearly as closely located as Europe where there are 10 cities within 3 hrs commute of any point so if you’re going to get contracts from IRL networking you have to focus on one city. if you don’t plan to benefit from NYC proximity i don’t know if you will gain advantage living here. Also you may experience ageism in NYC market as it is extremely competitive.
I loved this, thank you. I laughed and cried in equal measure. It was a perfect break from what's normally on this website and I'm deeply grateful to you for sharing it.
But citrix is bad, its way too complex to implement well for the benefit so essentially all installations are too slow to use effectively. That sounds to me like you're taking advantage of people who don't know better
> It's not very fair to say "upgrades on Postgres are hard" if that's practically always true in your use-case, that's all.

That is just nonsense. If it's hard then it's hard. It's not easier because it's practically always hard.

What's next, it's not fair to say that flying to the moon is hard because flying to LEO is tricky? Oh my.
I think you’ve hit on the concept when humans in the loop are needed.

For many black box systems, the average performance may be comparable or better than humans, but when errors occur, they should fail predictably.

If systems fail unpredictably (ie unbounded in the types of errors it makes), then they can never be deployed in the field without humans in the loop.

This is why self driving cars can, at the same time, be on average safer but still not be accepted by public.
I've used one, not great, but why would you spec a Go out, its a cheap coffee shop laptop, and at least warranty is pretty good in Asia. Keyboard broke, okay do you have a CC, yep, well send you a new one, send us the old back, as long as it isn't your damage (i guess water or obvious drop) its job done and no charge to CC. Small delay as part had to come from Hong Kong to Thailand first. Much better than travelling to and speaking to bloody genius if you happen to get an on the spot appointment with one of the clowns.

This was meant in response to the people complaining about build quality
2. You should also be raising seed money from angels that are executives/fellow founders at your early customers / pilot partners. Ideally you fill a $2M seed round with ten $50-100K checks from these people and a great seed fund that will be value add-oriented.

Wait is it normal for an executive of a company to invest in companies that thier company is paying for services. That seems like there could be a lot of conflict of interest.
Tech writer here.

The absolute, invariable first rule in tech writing is to know your audience.

Understand not just their technical problems but take the time to empathize with why they have these problems in the first place.

Tech writing isn't about documenting, it's about finding the best way to explain something to people so they can solve their problems.

Oh, and use an editor (the human kind, not the digital kind.)
I guess one difference is how much of the gross income goes to taxes/social insurance contributions. This can differ a lot from country to country.
I never managed to get any benefit from spaced repetition. I tried paper and anki.

I found I remembered more creating the cards than reviewing them. Creating the cards made me think about the information and understand it so I could create the card (back and front) in a beneficial way. Reviewing them was a waste of time for me, but the act of creating something with the information I was trying to learn worked wonders.

To be honest I found this with mind maps, concept maps, and nearly every single other way of presenting information in a way that is touted as a good way to learn.
Acrobat Distiller is a conversion tool and can be used as a printer driver. The typesetting may still come from a software like InDesign.
Bitcoin also lets you sign transactions offline, which the recipient can broadcast next time they have an internet connection.

A wire transfer is really a more apt comparison when discussing sending money from Coinbase.
Start with lists.

When writing about a concept, or a system, do something like

---

This system consists of

- A

- B

- C, (but see notes on C below)

(and then do the same for C further down)

---

Label each section with a header and have a ToC that has every header in it.

All this will let you do two things:

- cut down on bullshit, and be concise and precise.

- see and quickly change the structure of your document
That doesn't explain anything. Why is it so abhorrent and objectionable?
Gods, Hacker News does manage to surprise me every now and then. Here, have an upvote, and thank you for the laugh.
This is a hard problem, and I'd love someone to solve it.

I was looking recently for some guides about Docker, as some parts were confusing me -- everything on the first couple of pages of Google was clearly just badly repeating the "getting started" guide, which I'd already read!
Paleontologists certainly can.
Restricting downvotes to moderators only is not effective. Also creating an environment where blind are leading the blind is not a good thing and the article is pointing to that.
I keep checking youtube for reviews of people running linux on surface tablets. The surface-linux project looks like it's done some really great work and surface pro tablets do equally well. The one piece of hardware I wish there were more work on is the Surface X (especially after seeing how successful the Asahi project has been).
It's mentioned in the text: the metric wasn't designed to declare a winner, it was designed to give organisations who need to deploy employees abroad an idea about how much compensation might be adequate for moving there. The blue ones would all fall into the "good enough" category.
The CAI idea is for camera manufacturers to cryptographically sign the RAW inside the camera to prevent that.
Aren’t bank transfers the obvious alternative to Coinbase payments? That wouldn’t have worked.

Regular bitcoin transaction OTOH would presumably have worked just as well as credit cards.
Fair point, I didn't want to turn the post into a vanity context.

My daily rate is around 1k euro + 19% vat. Note that I have multiple clients, so in some good months the above figure is higher.

My tax pressure is around 43%, including health insurance.
Credit card payments have the same problem.

The human body is a system, I'm not a physiologist so I don't fully understand everything. That being said, if organs which normally supply some sort of supportive function to the heart no longer work, it's definitely possible for the heart to fail first.

But in this event, we could move back to Europe, no?
This extends so much further than just GitHub and open source. Almost all “AI” based generative tools are trained on public datasets, in some cases they have licensed these datasets, but my understanding is that they are often just trained on the “public” internet. There is currently clear legal protection of scraping, however you can’t “republish” that data, only significant derivative work. I don’t know if these tools fall into that category - IANAL - but that’s the billion dollar question. The text/language and image generation are all capable of outputting results that are clearly based on particular input imagery.

This is such an important debate to have and my fear is that the companies investing in this tech have deep pockets, the lobbying around it could result in a unbalanced outcome. This isn’t really an area where “move fast and break things” is necessarily the right process.

Exciting though to see where this technology could lead, co-pilot blows my mind at times.
It is relevant, reread and understand the parent comment. Get a managed pg and you'll have the same thing.

Except the pig still got porcine CMV from somewhere.
Yeti built a company by disrupting coffee mugs. Michelan and friends spend a lot of money on improving the tire. Hardi and Trex have worked to produce better wood. Etcetera. Almost everything can still be disrupted or improved.

I kind of want to spend some time on this printer thing, now!
Bitcoin wallets can do the same. You can sign transactions without internet connectivity.

> The presence of an apparent pig cytomegalovirus was worrying, but the researchers indicate there's some question about whether the tests that picked it up might have been recognizing a closely related human virus—one that's often associated with organ transplant problems.
Dev.to is suffering from the same problem that sites like Hacker Noon and Quora have already accepted as their faith. For the time being, Google is still treating Dev.to with quite generous "authority", so I imagine their organic traffic is through the roof.

But this has consequences of having your site infested with spammers, poorly written promotional content, etc. For example, one of the things you can do on Dev.to is publish an article, and then add a Canonical link to the original article (your website), which is what a lot of people do.

Having said that, you can find some great articles on the site from people who simply use Dev.to as their preferred blogging platform of choice. Though, even at a glance, the ratio of good and poorly written articles is probably around 25/75 which isn't all that great.
Hi everyone. I'd like to show you the result of a long maturation process, the reusable distributed data structure of git-bug, that you can use in your own project to store your entities in git and collaborate through git remotes.

I'm hoping that this could spawn a new kind of developer tools, where all the "metadata" (bugs, kanban ...) of a project are stored and shipped alongside the code, always available offline, integrated in our tool of choice and always snappy.

If you have experience in that domain, please pock holes in it. There is always tradeoffs, but I'm hoping to avoid fundamental flaws.

In the mean time, git-bug[0] itself is close to a 1.0 release. This Show HN is a step in making sure the data model is correct and strong. Thank you!

I can't get past the first paragraph!

> At the recent conference on the ethics of AI-enabled weapons systems at the U.S. Naval Academy, well over half the talks discussed meaningful human control of AI to some extent.

But, but AI is sentient right?! What business is it of ours to try to exercise control over AI, with its many and various superior attributes? lol.

> If you work among the AI ethics community, and especially among those working on AI ethics and governance for the military, you are hard-pressed to find an article or enter a room without stumbling on someone literally or metaphorically slamming their fist on the table while exalting the importance of human control over AI and especially AI-enabled weapons.

AI ethics is only there to justify the unjustifiable. They do not have my ethics that's for sure, nor any normal person's. Its a bad joke that allows a corporation to say - 'but it has been subject to an ethical review!' - and the political class can allow themselves to be bamboozled and provide their rubber stamp.

> the ethics of AI-enabled weapons

... the ethical implications fall on those coding the dystopia.

War is immoral, pretending that wars are real is immoral, handing over decision of life and death to a machine is immoral - regardless of how efficient the machine may be. So, any of those people involved in that circle are immoral. Soldiers may think they are working to defend their 'country' - but 'country' is a fiction and 'defence' is an inversion. People act this way for money.. at least that reason makes sense - but there is nothing moral about it. There are no ethics to be found there.
Happy to contribute what perspective I can :). I didn't mean to put it as a hostile US vs. EU thing, just wanted to state my reasons for going the other way.

I saw in another comment that you said it would only be for a few years. In that case it's a bit different as I was going off of the assumption it was long-term/permanent, so it could be a more worthwhile experience.

I would say that it could even be beneficial for the kids in terms of their English skills and getting a more worldly experience. Most Germans I know speak good English, but some of those who have done study abroad programs in the US have definitely mastered the language and accent, which is especially useful in STEM as almost all research is done in English these days.
Your team mate should post his story himself. If you post for him it is like he cannot speak for himself.

Discrimination can be so subtle that people aren't aware that they discriminate, yet it is damaging.

It's not just dev.to, it's most online developer content sources these days.

A lot of people noticed that you can become 'famous' online which will gain you the ability to sell a course, earn from content or get better jobs and opportunities due to 'influence'. And it works especially good if you can find a new framework/language/platform that you can write content about, since there is less content and you can get 'famous' faster.

And as such, it has become an endless race of trading off content quality for eyeball quantity - people write bullshit blog posts and ask silly or provocative questions on twitter that are easy to engage with, thus gaming the algorithms and getting more eyeballs on their content.

Then, in a nice little reference loop from hell, the 'lower ranked' influencers will like and share this content, leave comments such as 'Omg great article!' not because it is good, but because they know that by engaging with another creator with 'more influence' they can get more eyeballs on their content, making the creator think 'hey this gets eyeballs' so they create more content like that. And then others will copy what works for the 'higher ranked' influencers, thus creating a stream of similar content which the 'lower ranked' influencers will copy from and so on and so on. With so many cyclic references and no garbage collection, all we are left with is garbage itself.
This requires some elaboration. I'd argue that iPadOS offers an excellent tablet experience because it was built with its unique set of properties in mind. It doesn't behave exactly like a phone and it doesn't behave exactly like a laptop, but you do see elements of both in it.

It offers a lot of applications that do all sorts of wonderful things. It's a great way to draw/paint, you can sculpt stuff in 3d, you can create full music tracks with professional quality. You can write books on it, you can watch your tv shows, read your comic books, and do a whole lot of stuff in a way that for me, is simply much more delightful than sitting at my computer.

There's plenty of uses that it doesn't serve very well, though. The coding experience is lackluster at best. The fact that there's only one web browser engine is a miss. The fact that the concept of extensibility is severely gimped or nonexistent in applications is a miss (though the addition of extensions to safari helps a bit). The fact that there's no reasonable way to side load officially supported by Apple is awful. A lot of these points are probably ones that are important to the hacker crowd on HN so to those people they probably find it hard to overlook those shortcomings.

I use my iPad every day and I love it for the things that it does do. To me that is enough to consider it a good tablet experience.
A rationale for custom notation from Merriam-Webster's Twitter:[1]

> IPA has some problems if you grew up speaking English: some of the symbols can be deeply confusing.

> For example: the symbol 'i' (lower-case 'i') stands for the sound /ee/.

> In IPA, the symbol 'j' (lower-case 'j') stands for the sound of /y/ as in 'yes.'

I find it amusing how the Great Vowel Shift sets English apart from other Latin-alphabet languages, where long vowels are overall very alike compared together to modern English: The names of the vowels, 'A E I O U', are also their long sounds; typically (IANALinguist) outside of English they're instead close to something like (spelled Ephonetically) 'ah eh ee aw ooh', which is also reflected in the IPA assignment of /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/. Funnily, the same even applies to languages in alphabets and even non-alphabetic writing systems, since the transliterations and transcriptions into the Latin alphabet are also based on vowel qualities from the Latin language itself.

Together other English peculiarities such as 'j' and silent 'e', it seems that when "fake-pronouncing" words from an unknown language by naïvely applying the pronunciation of a known language, using English guarantees being far off the actual pronunciation, with a choice of any other language being significantly more likely than not to result in a closer pronunciation.

He was going to die without this. It would have been immoral to give him a human donor heart that could have gone to someone who could have lived ten or more years with it. Every pig heart transplant they’ll get better at it until eventually if you need a heart transplant you’ll just get one.

That’s the point.
What I like about Accountants
You eventually get the electron that went in after a few hours. Well if it is direct current.
Mail order bride, from Ukraine, doesn't really exist anymore due to immigration laws. There is almost no way to bring someone to the USA (most of my clients). The process is lengthy even if someone is willing to travel to Ukraine, meet the person, and live here while processing a marriage and visa.

This appeals to digital nomads greatly who also have problems in the dating market.

I used to do it as a charity project, and still mostly do, but I think I should start charging in light of learning this exists in D.C.

As for insights, I would say men are getting extremely desperate in the dating market and the current products like Tinder exacerbate the problem for the majority of guys who receive almost no matches.

There is also not a single legitimate online dating website in Ukraine. They are all pay per message and filled with fake or automated profiles. They are staffed from office buildings by people paid to pretend to be the girl, or now more so just done as small outsourced work.

I also do agree it's viewed as creepy to go looking for a girlfriend or wife using a service, and that's probably a stigma that needs re-evaluated in today's more global dating atmosphere.
Ask HN: PC working/processing so much harder on low data connection, know solve?
Why PC's mainly laptop's, wifi is working and processing so much harder and much more heavily when the internet data it receives is at low speed (40 kbps max) and/or intermittent, as opposed and not due, to weak wifi signal strength i.e. its low dB.
This's outright conspicuous when performing a media streaming

What actually is which processor(s) is/are working and/or searching on, and what actually has triggered it/them to obligatorily working and processing in such very hard which leads to real problem: quickly gets overheating?

How do we mitigate or solve this (mainly my) problem ?
Since you said you're willing to try "what it takes": I suggest to try contributing a couple of articles to LWN.net[1]. You'll gain valuable experience working with highly competent editors.

Be prepared for several rounds of fine-grained heavy editing process. FWIW, I benefited greatly from my interaction with the LWN editors by contributing a handful of articles. Here's a somewhat recent example[2].

I have a bit of an unusual suggestion. One thig that had helped me is reading "The Economist". Their style is succinct, doesn't make lot of assumptions about reader's prior knowledge. Many a times I have read articles in it about many of the areas which I am barely familiar with and come out better informed. Probably that's what one would strive for in technical documentation.
> Even more so as American armed forces and weapons (and our tax dollars and political system) are what protect all of you from annihilation.

That's one of the stupidest misconceptions Americans have about "Europe" (the EU).

The EU has a mutual defence elements to it. The EU has a nuclear power, France. The EU doesn't need the US, your "tax dollars and (horrifically broken) political system", and should stop relying on it ASAP. Trump showed you can be an incredibly unreliable partner, why risk it?
The licensing hell is exactly the problem. If someone contributes to open source, which is a praiseworthy activity, then they do it with the intention that anyone can use this code but also re-adapt it, bundle in new products - it's all about bringing humanity forward.

And all those "you can do this, but you can't do that" licenses are things that only invite lawyers to the tech world. IMHO, licensing open source is a bullshit activity.
Oh please don't center align text. That's just hard to read.
