Not all intellectual property is patented. Anyhow, you don't include git diffs. You cannot, even if you wanted to - the code is not your property. The whole point is that you're selling your intellectual property rights. It also means that the tax office pretty much has to rely on your word that the work is innovative in nature. Obviously they'd be in no position to tell the difference anyway.
A week? Seems high.
As a non-native speaker, I have never heard of dissaving. Is it a common word?
It was not my intent to exclude regionals operating regularly-scheduled white-label service for the majors.

It was my intent to exclude microscopic commercial operators doing charter flights, tourism, and other similar activities.

I sincerely apologize for the omission, I did not recognize that that Comair flight was operating under the United banner.

They do, he says so in the article.
The path to decentralization isn't binary. Just because at one point in time, the keys are in one set of pockets, doesn't mean that can't just as easily move to another set of pockets.

In my eyes, the critical thing here is that no single entity can do something such as double spend on the network.
There are brands (and probably is market dependent too) where this isn’t always true. Where I live, a 3 year old Toyota or Honda costs 10-15% less than a new one. In that case, it doesn’t really make sense to buy a used one if you can afford it.

Still, I also buy cars used. But I go ~10 year old, from a reputable low maintenance brand and model.
Speaking from my own experience, the cost of groceries and rent in NYC are really incredible. There's always the idea that NYC is/has been expensive... no it really is insane.

Inflation caused prices to go up, but there isn't any drag for them to come down, only to stop increasing AS MUCH. However, at least in the tech market (but as seen in others as well), you often hear "oh the market has softened so we're paying less". Or worse, people are getting laid off. If you haven't moved jobs in the past two/three years, you're at a pre-covid salary rate.

I find it hard to square the circle, where the floor of prices has permanently been moved upwards, employers are pushing salaries down to save their own costs. This causes people to have to "rob Peter to pay Paul". Dissaving, is because workers are being robbed at the expense of employers and capital owners who can seek rents.
You can't "re-make" a company by replacing the CEO/CxO, but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the influence of the c-suite either. What they care about and talk about filters down, often through unofficial channels of communication, and it does have an impact on how front-line employees do their work. Of course, this does take time and often involves some changes in management as well.
Another way to look at this is "households save less while making bottom-80% income vs. top-20%". Many of the top 20% income earners transition to bottom-80% retirees. As far as I can tell this data is not tracking the same households over time longitudinally.
Right. People tell me "but how can you trust a perfect stranger?" To which I reply most people selling cars are honest. Most car salesmen are dishonest. I trust private sellers more than I trust car salesmen.
No, it might be common in economic circles but I've never heard it either.
> Battlefield 2

> anyone remember Wake Island with the USMC carrier, F-35B, and J-10?

I remember. The J-10s would eat the F-35s for lunch and immediately start attacking the carrier. They'd gun down the CIWS as they passed and bomb the crap out of players on the carrier's flight deck for good measure. Good pilots could time their passes so that their guns were lined up with the F-35 just as it respawned, destroying it before it could take off. Shame you couldn't sink the carrier like in BF1942.

Good times. Eternal shame on EA for C&Ding the community server effort.

> Despite Battlefield 2 leading me to believe a person occupied the cylinder

Haha I thought so too... BF2 required you to man it like a vehicle in order for it to do anything. It's only natural kids would think that.

I don't think there is any way to avoid this coming off as a humble brag so I'll just shoot.

My son is really clever, always has been. It really shines in an interesting way in games like Magic the Gathering or more complex board games which our family has always been into. He dominates these things in a way that seems preternatural for a kid. I say this as an adult and a decent programmer, and my wife was top notch in school, my son (15 now) makes us feel DUUUMMMB sometimes.

I can honest to God say that if he had the domain expertise he is the one I'd want to count on to defuse a bomb or do some risky surgery. That said, I only know of things that might be suitable for such an individual from the common tropes (brain surgeon!). Is there any thing lesser known that sounds worth thinking about?
This is actually some really good feedback, thanks for taking the time to write it. In hindsight I definitely should have kept the site up and just put a banner up explaining what happened, I really like idea. I have learnt in life that people are generally okay with mistakes as long as your are honest and transparent about them.

I might allow you to create an account so that you can keep track of your current streak, view more stats about how your answers compare to others etc. I never really saw it as a business just a fun little project so I'm not that fussed about monetizing it, but all valid points.

Thanks again
No. I've been a native English speaker my whole life and it was a very weird sounding title IMO.
Me too. But, when we drive to my in-laws, NL -> Austria and back, we inevitably bring more stuff with us. I’m not going to rent a car three times a year while still owning a hatchback, and paying insurance and taxes for it.
I understand your sentiment and makes sense.

Unfortunately, majority of candidates are interested in the take home challenge over doing live coding session. And we optimize for the widest reach.

In regards of the results, I can't speak for others, but I write code for 26 years. What I look for is how the candidate thinks of the problem. Here is one of my favorite exercises [0]. I would obviously love to do this live but people get super nervous and stop thinking. I then have tendency to help them too much and learn much about them.

I feel the same way regarding being a generalist. I’ve been a software generalist with a focus on web dev for my entire career but as I progress in my career I see the benefit of specializing. I can definitely see the benefit of specializing as a self-employed/freelance software engineer.
Asphalt is QUIET, at least when new.

Of course, it can be poorly done, too.

US101 in Silicon Valley through ~San Carlos is a dumpster fire every time it rains. They spent a decade repaving the damn thing, and now in each rainstorm massive potholes are generated. It's like a slalom course out there right now. This after the "repairs" from last year when dozens of cars got flat tires and bent wheels on the same day, after hitting massive craters.
Isn’t this ignoring all black market income? Which is obviously more meaningful to the bottom 80%.

Apache Guacamole may be what you are looking for

"Apache Guacamole is a free and open-source, cross-platform, clientless remote desktop gateway maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It allows users to control remote computers or virtual machines via a web browser, and allows administrators to dictate how and whether users can connect using an extensible authentication and authorization system."

Weird article. It makes a very dubious claim about pro athletes and has 0 backup of that claim. Which is incredible (in the literal sense of the word) because even most amateurs and weekend warriors, in my experience, know that sleep is super important (even if they can’t actually get as much as they know they “should”)
My ideal admissions system would consist of highly weighting standardized test scores and grades along with community impact and other extracurriculars as well as letters of recommendation from teachers and other community members.

...oh, wait, we have that admissions system. That's the admissions system of every flagship state school and the US Service Academies. Why does Dartmouth (and before it, MIT's) flip-flop on this matter to 99% of us again?
I took ECO-101 in 1987, among other basic tenets I learned that wealthier people have more / a majority of their money in savings, poorer people necessarily have to send the money they make back out to buy things. Things are very expensive and wages are not that great for most people, so there you go. nothing "eye-popping" about this.

What's "eye-popping" is that it's more effective for economic stimulatory actions to put money in the hands of lower income people, where that money goes right back into circulation providing sales tax revenue at the state level and federal tax revenue at the merchant income level, rather than in the hands of wealthy people / billionaires, where that money sits in an account in the Cayman Islands and does mostly nothing in comparison.
Not OP, but would it be possible to use a standardized license? Every time a special purpose license is used for a software that gains adaptation, the lawyers of hundreds to thousands of different companies must spend a lot of time and iterations with the team to figure out if they can actually use this model. There is something magical in the GPL, MIT, Apache, etc licenses because these lawyers have already opined on them once and no longer create a bottleneck.
I'm confused about how cobblestone gets plowed? From my observations, a large portion of asphalt damage occurs from snow plows catching on cracks or patches. I can't really picture it working on such a rough surface, but I'm not an expert. Do they just leave a layer of ice everywhere? Do they douse it in crazy amounts of salt? Is this just another idea that only works in warm coastal climates?

I've always thought thick concrete was the higher-investment alternative.
In other news, water is wet. For the bottom 50 (less than the median income, which is $76k/year), post tax income would be less than 4.5-6k/month depending on where you live. Median rent in the country is 2k and median cost of ownership was also near that number. If you include cost of vehicle ownership, health insurance, childcare etc., it really shouldn’t be surprising that people spend more than they bring in.

(Keep in mind, the 76k is the absolute top income for the bottom half households.)

No, it's a real word but it's not commonly used. It may be more common in some specialized areas, like economics.
In practice, UUIDs are treated as an opaque 128-bit field. In any sufficiently complex system, there is no practical way to standardize on a single blessed version. Furthermore, all of the standardized UUIDs are deficient in various ways for some use cases, so there are a large number of UUID-like types used in large enterprises that are not "standard" UUIDs but which are better fit for purpose. This is deemed okay because there is no way to even standardize on a single UUID version among the official ones. Furthermore, there are environments where some subset of the UUID standard types (including each of v3/v4/v5 in various contexts) are strictly forbidden for valid security reasons.

The practical necessity of mixing UUID versions, along with other 128-bit UUID-like values, means that the collision probabilities are far higher in many non-trivial systems than in the ideal case of having a single type of 128-bit identifier. There is a whole separate element of UUID-like type engineering that happens around trying to mitigate collision probabilities when using 128-bit identifiers from different sources, some of which you may not control.

Having 128-bits is the only common thread across these identifiers which everyone seems to agree on.
Not sure what the source of the data is for pinballmap.com but the pinside map has been my go-to for several years. One advantage pinside map may have is the "pinsiders" location, so basically private collections, not just public. Most pinheads are friendly and trust me if you mention some rare game and they see your eyes light up when they tell you they have it, then odds are that you'll get an invite to go geek in their basement.

so "holding gains" means the assets they hold keep going up in value, which offsets their spending?

americans are so ridiculouosly rich compared to the rest of the world.

probably helps that their govt is expert at continuously inflating the value of their assets with financial stimulus. and also basically forces the rest of the world to use their currency for buying and selling their own productions.
> With user permission (allow installation from unknown sources or something), that must've been possible for a decade or so already.

> Is this change just whitelisting a bunch of widely used app stores by default (especially in China)?

I am not an Android developer so this is just my understanding and could be wrong.

No, this is not about installing new applications.
This is about allowing updates for apps already installed with user permission.
All usual caveats apply.
Update must be signed with the same key (it is an actual update, not an uninstall old + install new), yada yada
Major limitation of browser extensions is that if you want to just write them for yourself, there's no user friendly, scalable way to install them. There's no way to tell the browser that you trust all extensions in some directory to be loaded automatically and be used without signing and without maybe even having to be packed into XPI file. There's no "put a bunch of code+manifest into a directory and have browser use that" feature. This kind of simple deployment drove me to write a ton of userscripts when greasemonky just loaded plain files from gm_scripts/ subdir of browser profile directory. It was fun and easy to extend websites back then. Mozilla killed all that.

Deployment is just terrible. There's no way I'm sending my extensions somewhere over the internet to get signed after every change so I can use code I wrote on my own computer. WTF distopia is that? Nevermind the last time I checked the tooling for signing is some stupid ass 100MiB+ NPM/node app I have to now trust too. It's bigger than a freaking Linux kernel build itself.
What does the article even have to do with the headline?

You can reduce render resolution easily, it's available as the unrooted ABD command `adb shell wm size 1080x1920`. You don't need a computer for it either, you can use an app like Bugjaeger to create a loopback connection on most Wi-Fi networks.
Nope, I’d never heard it either.
So ip theft without re-percussions was not at the heart of that downfall. Honestly, if ip is that blatantly stolen, a company should have the right to penalty Tarif all products there IP flows into without licenses in perpetuity until a patent would have expired.
It seems fairly obvious you need these standardized tests, especially when GPA inflation would be incentivized otherwise, but the SAT and ACT drive some very uncomfortable discussions involving intelligence, primarily on its hereditary nature and the possibility of "group-differences". Gets even more uncomfortable since we're talking about children. If "group-differences" exist at the genetic level for example, why shouldn't affirmative action be required since disadvantaged groups also pay taxes to these schools.
Some serverless use cases work like you say, but Docker-based options such as AWS ECS, Docker-based Lambda functions, or Kubernetes would all commonly make use of compiled options
> Newly released data series from the Bureau Economic Analysis have revealed a pretty eye-popping economic reality that’s been invisible in the national accounts…forever. Subtract households’ Personal Taxes and Personal Outlays from Personal Income to yield Personal Saving, and it turns out that the bulk of U.S. households don’t save.

How is this data different from other data on the same matter? It's not like nobody's known the personal savings rate in the US until today.
9-figure cloud bills? What are they doing? Streaming from AWS? Are they mad?

Even with what I'm sure is bulk negotiated bandwidth pricing there is no way this is an economical way to serve bulk content. For those prices you could build out a whole physical IT operation to rack stuff up in data centers and maintain it for a lot less and your bandwidth costs will be a minute fraction of AWS. There's also tons of CDNs that specialize in blasting out bandwidth.

Putting command and control, accounting, signup / signin, etc. on AWS may make a lot of sense. Those are both more complex to run and lower bandwidth work loads.

I've read opinions that radar was the single most effective innovation in WW2. It essentially doubled the effectiveness of anti-aircraft gunnery.

For example, the Bismarck battleship was loaded up with anti-aircraft guns. But it was unable to stop a handful of slow moving stringbags that attacked it, and one torpedo from one of them crippled the ship, leading to its destruction.

In contrast, radar directed anti-aircraft guns proved extremely effective against Kamikaze attacks.

The proximity fuse also used radar. Me, I would never have developed such a shell because I couldn't believe such a mechanism could survive being fired out of a cannon.

The article nots this is only true when you exclude capital gains from Income. I don’t see how this is newsworthy, I’ve been “dissaving” for years now (selling stocks to cover monthly deficits after I moved from full time FAANG to occasional contract work), and I currently have more “net worth” than I ever have.

All in all a bizarre metric.
I found telling people "Sorry, I'm a foreigner and don't have one" satisfies almost anyone (obviously not a bank or anyone tax-related). But plenty of companies ask for it and would rather find a way to do business than turn me away.
So... this post introduces a new "fact" then debunks its own headline, using a phenomenon already well known to economists: the wealth effect[1]. This feels less like an economics blog and more like a social media Rorschach test -- do you read the article, and its footnotes, or just respond to headlines?

Two consecutive days for a customer, tree days for the other one. Ideally it would be 2+2 and 3 free days but it's difficult to find a new customer that is happy with only 2 days.

Anyway, yes context switching can be a problem. That's why those days must be consecutive. Furthermore, I write down in a text file a few lines about what I did every day and how many hours I spent. My file goes back to October 2012. That's very useful to bill customers at the end of the month and to restart from the previous week. I also write short TODOs in the same file about what I'll have to do the next week when I'll be back on the project. Git commit messages and slack chats also help to get back into context.

What else... I have a virtual desktop per customer, with editor windows, terminals, browser windows open all the time. Not having to restart everything every week and finding all pieces in the same place probably helps too. It surely costs some RAM but it's cheap. My laptop has 32 GB, 18.9 used by programs right now according to htop.
Not in my experience in the Big Ten. For any math/science class, the plurality of the final grade was made up by exam scores - typically 45-60 percent, to my recollection.

60ish percent is a very particular number, because it's the highest weight that doesn't make it possible to pass the class by doing almost nothing except the exams. At 65 percent, you're giving students an easy way to game the system.

Some classes had a substantial lab component, but it was relatively easy to score well on labs. Labs were graded by TAs, who were consistently more lax than the professor. I don't think there's some coordinated effort by TAs to lower the bar; they were simply too busy with their own studies to provide a thorough criticism of every lab report they received. In most classes, labs were effectively a curve.

English courses were different, since those had essays instead of exams. However, I'd argue that it's feasible to write a paper "to the rubric" in the same sense that one can shape their studies "to the test." Given the audience HN caters to, I'd imagine that we're more interested in the science/math/engineering stuff anyway.
In the past, they couldn't get away with it. We used to have competition. Competition slowly changed to oligopoly over the years but companies were still applying lessons learned in the distant past that raising prices would drive away customers. But once they learned that they now can get away with raising prices...
