Yeah it's really difficult, but that doesn't mean you should just give up and take the average.

There was a case recently in the UK where Next (high street clothing chain) were paying their warehouse staff more than their shop staff for (apparently) similar work. The shop workers had a higher proportion of female workers than the warehouse workers (something like 70% vs 50%).

Next claimed this was because the market rate was higher for warehouse workers. They got sued by the female shop workers for discrimination.

They lost and have to pay back pay. Now... you might think 70% vs 50% is barely a difference - did the Next bosses really discriminate? Surely not. Well, that's what the court thought too. Apparently even though they accepted that there was no conscious or unconscious discrimination, the effect of the pay difference was in itself discriminatory.

I dunno how that makes any sense. The shop workers should have sued the IT department and then they'd be in for a serious pay day!
For those of us born in the past, say 500 years, yes, hops define beer.
> Rule number 1 when you go to Switzerland: it is the most anti-car country there is.

Not even close, even for the more general superalative meaning of most.

Lots of Swiss drive, car and gas prices are more affordable than the rest of Europe, many Swiss live outside of big cities where parking is harder/expensive. I even saw a drive thru at a McDonalds in Renens (suburb near Lausanne), which...I've never seen a drive thru at McDonalds anywhere else in Europe (although I only lived in Switzerland).

Yes, Switzerland is very law and order, you follow the rules (like in Germany). But it is definitely a place where you can drive if you want, and many people do.
1. You pick the kind of car you want (sedan, SUV, luxury, with a child seat, pet friendly, EV).

2. The driver can choose the areas they want to drive in.

3. Cars can wait in an airport parking lot until they are needed and not crowd the terminal.

It is a perfectly efficient model.
You want the address to be visible to the CPU somewhat early so that the target (might be) in the cache before you use it. I'd expect pointer tagging to obstruct that mechanism - in the worst case codegen might mask out the bits immediately before the memory operation. I don't know how transparent this sort of thing is to the core in practice and haven't found anyone else measuring it.
They are dying of hunger because of corporate greed. Africa has many of the world’s most resource-rich areas, but they don’t realize the profits: Western corporations that extract the resources using local slave labor do.
Former MSP I worked at is also looking to migrate customers off to something like Hyper-V or Nutanix. I told my old boss to hire a bunch of Linux gurus and go through the Proxmox partnership program and get certified. As much as people knock it for their support not really being ready for enterprise. I do think that proxmox is well suited to gain some of the market share.

I've been using it in my lab for the past few years without any major issues. Running an HA 3-node cluster. Only issue I ran into was when I kept getting kernel panic from an driver issues in my RAID card. But that really only affected me during reboots. Pinning to and older kernel worked. Oh and it was also because my RAID card is like 10 years old.

So HN - if you are moving off VmWare, what are you using?
Are fares pre-calculated or dynamic/metered?

I couldn't care less as what my ride is regulated or operated, but I do appreciate the fare being known upfront. (For what it's worth, Uber is quickly eroding this advantage themselves by automatically charging a surcharge in case a driver takes a more circuitous route, just like in good old taxi days.)
You got the inputs and outputs correct. What you failed to recognize is the natural act of pooping can. be optimized. Should employees wear dipers and poop on the job? This would increase employer profitability. You think I jest? Just look at news articles where employees either by choice or by instructions are doing so. Poultry workers, factory workers, the list goes on. Not right.
20,500 Americans died of hunger in 2022.
>What do they have in common that would suggest they deserve less privacy than you do?

That they receive their salary from the tax payer, the public is their employer, and it'd be pretty odd if your employer didn't know what they paid you. They're executive organs of the state, police and firefighters, unlike private workers, also don't get to choose what laws they enforce or what fires they put out. If you're a civil servant you obviously forego most of the rights of private sector workers in exchange for usually lifetime employment and set pay rates.
I was in Istanbul for less than a week and had multiple bizarre taxi experiences.
The "unwashed masses" (your words) are only here because companies that want to advertise to them made their systems just good enough to draw them in but just bad enough they exploit the worse instincts in people to make more advertising money.

If the web was not commercial then it wouldn't be mainstream. While they are different they are fundamentally linked.
The law should have the same consequences for everyone. $1M fine for you is likely making you bankrupt, but is a rounding error for Elon. Is that the same consequence?

If fines don't scale with wealth, they mean the activity is only illegal for the poor & middle class.
I think the critique was directed towards the attitude of being overtly scared of doing something illegal or breaking rules (which does not equal being unethical!). Backbag is simply a way to transport stuff in a backbag, which isn't illegal.
Yes, but the information here is not public, since it's being sold as a service.

If it were public, employees and job seekers would also have the information.
Courts can imprison you, take your assets, and much more. Asking your income is pretty mild.
> 1. You pick the kind of car you want (sedan, SUV, luxury, with a child seat, pet friendly, EV).

I'd be willing to pay extra to just get whatever car is right there. I really couldn't care less about most of these modes, and I doubt that the vast majority of other passengers do either (maybe with the exception of a child seat).

> It is a perfectly efficient model.

You've clearly never been to JFK then.
> It's not like you can double-check.

Don't they publish SLA numbers? The reliability of the major cloud providers seems quite well-established.

> There's no guarantee your cloud won't terminate your account

Two cloud providers pretty much guarantees against that -- the idea that two would terminate it simultaneously is vanishingly small.
That looks more like it (8A fuse), and relatively cheap on Mouser too interestingly enough. Thanks for the heads up I'll have to order and try one.

It does puzzle me why they went with the 2.54mm pin layout though, those are rated for 3A max I think? So even if the draw is perfectly split between the two vout pairs they give it'll be melting at 6A already, probably more like 5 if not.
It stores the deleted ranges, but not the chars of text that compose those ranges.

So from a privacy perspective, you see the metadata of edit history (the DAG of character positions edited), but are blind to the text.
Let's not dilute the word slave by equating it with not being able to retire by 50.

The entire world outside of Africa is grappling with sub-replacement fertility rates and an inverted demographic pyramid.

What this practically means for everyone in the next 30 years is that unlike all of history, where you had 3 children supporting two elderly parents, we now have 1 child supporting two elderly parents. That is a 3x drop in labor force or 3x more labor needed for our elderly.

If you don't have kids, God help you in 30 years when everyone else's kid is too busy laboring to help their own parents...
I think fines that are proportional to your income or wealth are clearly a better approach than fixed fines. In practice, that kind of stuff can be really hard to figure out, but overall it seems sensible? There are lots of downsides to a highly connected financial system for poor people, but hopefully we can move towards scaled fines as something of a consolation for all of the downsides the poor endure.
What.

I've never heard anything this stupid.

I've only encountered the following two airport systems:

1) There's a queue of taxis and people coming out go to the first one.

2) There's a queue of people, and an airport person tells you when you can go to the next taxi.

Depending on whether there's too many people or too many taxis.

Now this is some remarkable gymnastics. Are you also an investor in Equifax or have some other financial interest in similar services? If not, I'm very curious to hear how you tied yourself into this knot.

JFK is a mess because it cannot accommodate the amount of traffic it gets. And you want to add thousands of Ubers standing at the gate waiting for passengers?

> I'd be willing to pay extra to just get whatever car is right there

So then just go to the taxi stand? Why even call an Uber?
No, Swiss love their cars, but in an orderly fashion. Most relaxed driving in Europe.
It sounded like glamorizing because of:

> YC sincerely wants people to succeed. It's attractive for people who deal with their anger by working a lot.

Equating the success metric to people who have anger problems from the perspective of YC.
But if companies did that then I never would have been able to buy coolchug.com!
Well, subset the fonts, remove unnecessary flavors, move the font to your own cdn. Problem solved. If this affects SEO... oh dear god, the internet became a sh*thole.

The singular of anecdote is not data. Getting hit by lightning is also unlikely, but it happens to thousands of people every year.

That doesn't mean I'll be flying a kite in a thunderstorm, but it also doesn't mean that you should lock yourself in a bunker the moment the sky turns grey.

Most of the taboo around this is cultural, not retributive.
“Price discrimination” (or in this case “wage discrimination”) as described in microeconomics is exactly this—the same seller/buyer demanding/offering different prices for the same goods depending on their idea of how much the buyer/seller will bear. The term has nothing to do except etymology with what sociologists, lawyers, or politicians mean by the word “discrimination” (not that those three groups mean the same thing by it).
So in principle, different rules for different people? If you have no money you should be able to break the law more cheaply?

Principles are principles for a reason. You don't hold equal treatment / punishment under the law as a principle. Equal does not mean relative to something.
The word "equality" is underdetermined here. To me, it is obvious that scaling fines with income (so everyone gets 1/500th of their annual wage for a speeding ticket, e.g.) is equality and that flat fine amounts, being a larger burden on the poor, are unequal. Apparently you don't agree, but that means we need to sit down and hash out an agreed-on definition of equality first, not go slinging around emotive rhetoric.
Funnily enough, Mojang is on that list, and I remember recently watching a video[1] of Notch hot-reloading code while developing Minecraft, except it was with Java and I'm sure he didn't pay a dime for the ability to do that.

If you really think gen 9 consoles are comparable to a laptop, we aren't really having an honest conversation here. I say this as someone with a $2500 gaming laptop with top end 2021 specs.

I'm not interested in having a console vs. PC debate. I just wanted to emphasize that it's not 2015 anymore and crypto ruined the idea of an affordable high end gaming pc. The good news is that there's plenty of non-aaa games and any pc you pick up for college can probably play older AAA games and indies with no issue. hence why the steam deck is very popular among pc players who wanted some portability. The cheapest gaming is indeed whatever pc or laptop you can pickup, even pre-built.

Power isn't everything, but clearly the ps5 pro and higher end cards are targeting power users. Someone not price sensitive already has some $3k top end gaming rig and won't be convinced of any console (the camp it sounds like you are in). For those that want a taste of that high end but are cost sensitive will probably look towards the PS5 Pro.

Is that a sustainable market? I don't think so. But gen 9's theme has been unsustainability with the devs suffering for the state of the economy (no matter how good or bad your last release was), so this is just on point.
Uber/Lyft's system is that taxis wait in a (virtual) queue in an airport parking lot, and when you request one they come to the terminal to pick you up.
I’m fine with PKIs presumably in America the department of education could act as a CA.
And probably because for quick things like that you’re already working in a “pipeline”, where you first want to see some of the results so you output with SQLite, and then add more to the pipeline. Similarly, I often do ‘cat file | grep abc’ instead of just grep, might be probably out of habit.
No, not good. $116k is a ridiculous fine for tailgating. Fines should be at least partially related to the damage or potential damage inflicted on the public. I'd be fine with sublinear scaling but straightline increasing a fine ad infinitum is ridiculous. And/or the fine should be cut for the poor.

I think there's a big difference between what people say (the poor shouldn't be massively overburdened by a traffic fine, which most people would support), and what many advocates of these policies are actually motivated by (make the rich pay reeeee), which is silly schadenfreude I won't support.
I think the answer is more that Uber has externalized the cost of all that waste.

Why do they care about increased traffic and increased pollution if they aren't the ones hiring extra staties to manage the chaos?
> I've never heard anything this stupid.

I may be misunderstanding your comment, but you're saying you've never heard of online rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft?
> Just seems invasive to me for a court to demand your personal monetary situation when determining how much to punish you.

What if the default punishment was instead a nice, equitable 21 days in jail for rich and poor alike, with the option to instead pay a fine of 21 days income, if you were willing to disclose your income?

Better at playing the Yale game, which is obviously useful in this society but says little else about the person.
Like big magnets but a little more gritty.
Imagine speeding and then having to disclose your income to the court. Seems very invasive and dystopian.
Along with the wealth tax, these revenue-based fines also pushes you to minimize the revenues that you declare to the state, ending with overall losses in collected taxes.

For example, many crypto-bros are insanely poor on paper.

Companies can spend on behalf of a person, etc.

A more fair system is to be able to pick between jail or community service.

Time is equally precious to all humans and giving some of your time to repair your mistakes is the best you can do.
I'd like to see progressive fines implemented as well.

I'm not sure what factor we should use but I think that it should quickly become economically infeasible for anyone to keep reoffending because the cost of separate instances of doing so quickly escalates. Maybe exponentially?
They opened a Milk Bar near Harvard and it was total garbage.

They were so lazy that they didn't even make anything in Boston. It was all shipped over from NY. Stale and tasteless cubes of nothing wrapped in plastic.

Neither Christina Tosi nor David Chang have any integrity. They just peddle whatever garbage they can to people while building their own brand.

A year or two ago that Milk Bar location finally died out and was replaced by Joe's Pizza. Another NY chain. But one that is the opposite of Tosi/Chang in every way. Authentic. Careful. Customer-focused. Great NY-style pizza made on the spot with the same ingredients. Joe's is just as good in NY as it is in Boston.

Good riddance to Tosi and Chang. I now actively avoid anything associated with them.
If the described effects do exist, I think it would be a much more surprising finding if they didn’t disproportionately affect cohorts that tend to have weaker labor-rate bargaining positions than others. Do you see problems with the core argument of the paper?
What would be so hard about allowing a new Uber/Lyft in for each leaving one, physically or logically?

Uber/Lyft could allocate the "new car in" slots using whatever mechanism they currently use to match riders to drivers.

Having to find "my" car is just completely backwards in the airport scenario, at least at times of high usage.
As a thought experiment, Get-ChildItem is a poor choice of API. Instead, it should really just be Get<T> <args>

Get<Folder> -path "C:\Users\Me\My Documents"

Would return a match of type <Folder|nil>

similarly

Find<Folder> -path "C:\Users" -match "Me"

Would return a match of type <Folder[]|nil>

or

Find<Any> -path "C:\Users" -match "Me"

Would return a match of type <Any[]|nil> where Any is

File|Folder|DotFile|Symlink

In as few lines I provided a clean API which unfortunately doesn't exist in any one language but rather borrows from multiple languages, <T> representing C# generic types, File|Folder representing an F# union sum type, Any type a la Rust.
Internet Archive is amazing, and vulnerable: It's a single entity in a single jurisdiction unfriendly to this kind of effort. Are there efforts to duplicate it? For the book side - and some magazines, there is libgen and such. Is there something for the web side? music, photos, software? Any current effort by Internet Archive themselves?

A quick look now at archive.org didn't find much.

A hint that "partner institutions" can maintain local copies. Some which might be "one-off" copies, not maintained up to date.

There was an IA.BAK project.

It's the same rule, the calculation is just different.

Imagine it were prison. Should we say that a rich person should get a 1 day sentence and a poor person should get a 1 year sentence simply because the rich person's time is worth more?
An extremely irresponsible video. He talked a lot about scary apocrypha to do with eyeballs exploding but never once mentioned the possibility of vision damage or blindness without the drama. I think he knew that microwaves are extremely dangerous to your eyes and avoided doing the most potentially damaging things without talking about it. To whit:

If you bypass the door interlocks and operate the magnetron with the door open and then stick your head into the cavity, you risk have your eyes pass through one of the microwave peaks in the standing wave pattern set up by the cavity. Extremely intense, localized heating within your eyeballs is never a good idea, and you risk burning your retinas or damaging your corneas or lenses.

The eyeball is large made of water and protrudes somewhat from the eye socket. Peering forward into the interior of the microcave cavity has the potential to expose your eye to the full brunt of the standing wave peak without much other body mass in the way to absorb the energy, creating the potential for that intense localized heating.
I'm a medical student with FOMO and who loves AI stuff.

I couldn't keep up with my news so I made the perfect summarizer that goes through the thought process of the author : https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/WDoc

I needed an AI based system that go through my anki cards, but might as well make it able to read dozens of file formats. Now I can put entire medical youtube playlists, conferences, anki databases, hundreds of PDFs and ask a single question across all of them at once .

Not really anything, as Facebook, Google, and others collect data as they collected before. It is only SMEs that have suffered, large enterprises can pay lawyers to go around it.
This amounts to "other people are bad too". Is that really a defense? It's also a question of scale. The amount of direct and foreseeable harm caused by the United States goes all the way back to its founding. The genocide of Native American peoples, the translatlantic slave trade, chattel slavery, segregation and then in the 20th century we go global.

The British Empire is described as the first drug dealer empire. First tobacco then opium. Well the US is the arms dealer empire. Eisenhower's farewell address warned of the increasing threat and power of the "military industrial complex" [1].

But in virtually every conflict post-WW2 we've been on the wrong side. Take the defining moment of 9/11, a terrorist attack perpetrated by Saudis, funded by members of the Saudi royal family. What did we do? We turned around and invaded Afghanistan (who offered to hand over bin Laden [2]) and Iraq (who had absolutely nothing to do with it), killing millions.

This is how you tax these companies. They f around, they hand over part of their profit. Good.
I don't care how rich you are, a $100,000 fine for tailgating is absurd.

How much was the public hurt by his actions?
It is useful for determining whether a given traversal of a graph has encountered a cycle, rather than determining whether the entire graph has any cycles. So different from what the article was about, but still a nice tool to have in the box.
I'll add that it could create some really perverse incentives. Small town cops encouraged to pull over any newer or more expensive car and ignoring ones that look janky.

Instead of income, it should be something else, because a lot of wealthy people do not have incomes.
Michelin stars seem to have the dynamics of a loss leader. Particularly as it's become known that many of the restaurants are badly unprofitable—and moreso if you think the chefs should earn something commensurate to their presumable talent or passion (you don't have to think this). It seems to be more the case that every award or signal of quality is capable of (and actually being used) this way.

Some people, like Chang, may know it and treat it transactionally as such. $X for a star, which leads to Y amount of exposure. Others, may know it or not, but treat it like a goal in life either way. It's very possible of course that many of the former start as the latter people until they later [realize/sell out/give up].

I guess it makes sense. The world is more competitive. Information is freely available. You need to find some other moat. With information and access to everything, a moat that might have been quality or talent, is more easily captured by buying the signal (which to be clear can include buying and maintaining the quality). Then once you have the signal, well, it's up to you whether you still need or want the quality. When push comes to shove, it's probably the case that the signal is worth more than the quality.
The difference between equality under the law or equity under the law.

Equity is by definition relative. Equality is at least absolutely reasoned without the interference of relativity or subjectivity.

By what measure can a system of government be most fair and immune to corruption? The one where everyone has equal rights or the one one where some are “more equal” or “less equal” than others?
