Switzerland exports more than just bank services, e.g. grocery products like cheese and chocolate which are products produced with low wages.
And yes it'expensive, I'm currently living in Gèneve and paying more than enough for my kebabs (it's cheaper to pay for the tram to Annemasse in France and have the kebab over there).

Why are they still using GPUs? Maybe hardware companies should start making AI targeted processors instead. Could they boost performance 10 times with a dedicated processor?
dedicated tokens are actually cheap. you can get one for 10-20 bucks

Ask HN: What SAAS PM tool can help me out?
Hi !
I run a medium product review blog that reviews approximately 100 products a year across a team of 10 testers.

I want a software to help me streamline/track the process.

Basically I would like to

- keep the details of the testers (names, addresses, general info, history)

- keep the details of the companies (people/email addresses)

- keep track of what products each company is about to release this year with a release date

- track each product across the review cycle (requested from company, shipped to reviewer, test in progress, review received, review entered on site, review published)

It would obviously be amazing if all the steps could be assigned to a person and documents attached and reports run (ie on what a tester has on his pipeline, what products are in the "released but not shipped yet" status) etc.

I started using Trello which is OK, but does not do all I need

Thank you all for the suggestions!
Can someone explain the David Bowie and Freddie Mecury reference?

> MOOCs are great for people who want to learn on their own

MOOC + in person coaching could solve the problem. We don't need professors, we need coaches (experts in education, psychologists) to keep people motivated and not drop off. Also, in large cities study groups could generate the same feeling as going to a real class.

What we are missing in MOOCs is the motivational effect of meeting people (in real life) who are serious about learning and seeing them work hard. That is what makes us believe we can do it too.
Agreed. Google is usually very good with security fixes, so it's surprising that they're basically filing this as a non-issue.

They're right that it isn't exactly a flaw in their systems, but they still have a relatively simple way of mitigating attacks against the telcos' security.
oh ...

I have for a while been working 20 mins from my house, for a university in Texas and other clients. The effect on my relationship with my wife and children was dramatic compared to the slogging commute and long hours (but naught compared to the salaryman stories I hear).

We lose sooo much with long commutes and long hours - and yet the gain for companies is trivial especially compared to gains that simple management improvements can make.

I spent last year holidaying on the Greek island of Kefalonia - and realised that if I stayed there and worked, I would be six hours out from Texas instead of five. And the holiday "campus" I stayed in was idyllic - and there was very little in my imagination stopping me and 25 other families from parking up there and living and working - I strongly suspect that an ideal arrangement is small clusters of live / work / school environments coming into being.
Most highly educated people employed by companies tend to work on teams of varying sizes (but rarely consisting of just one person). Thus if a spy could report back significant details about the work of even a small team (maybe 5-10 people) it seems like the economics would work out quite well. Bigger teams would pay off proportionately more.
Yes, the Google's response (if it is real) to this problem is embarrassing. "It is not our problem that we practically post your credentials to open access at some occasions" [as this post shows using voicemail is akin to doing this in case of significant number of providers]. That's so disregarding to customers.
"About to change everything" - this title is a few years too late.
You can apply from China. For the interview as far as I know they'll require you to go there and if accepted stay for 3 months for the weekly dinners. Then you're free to do whatever you want.
except now people work in minimum wage jobs all their life.

> The notion that the minimum wage is supposed to provide a living is a good way to remove young people from the job pool.

The minimum wage is supposed to provide a living period.

How can people be as selfish as you are is beyond me.There is enough wealth in this world to be shared so everybody can make a decent living,and it wont make whatever you think you are worth less valuable.
Looks like you deleted your parent post. To provide for future readers, the parent post claimed that the Government was not involved with the riots at all. My reply provides an example of a Minister of the Government who was convicted for murder and conspiracy to murder in a case involving the riots.

People of Gujarat were always pro business and evidence for the same is, people of Since independence, people of Gujarat are least dependent upon government jobs and having low un-employment rate always.

Now why Modi was elected. Reason is same the way congress was winning in last 50 years.

According to Wolfram Alpha, Switzerland's cost of living is 1.535 times that of the U.S.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cost+of+living+switzerl...

This proposed Swiss minimum wage is therefore (roughly) equivalent to a minimum wage in the U.S. of $16.28 per hour (taxation differences and non living-expenses notwithstanding).
Google is gradually becoming the kind of company they used to say they were not.
Actually as the first engineer (but one working on backend stuff, not the platform), I've actually be shocked at how little complexity it adds. At the end of the day all the animations are accomplished by passing in the function for the animation you want. That means that making an animation is just a matter of setting the coefficients on the function you pass in to the thing being animation. It's amazingly well decoupled.

Also, if you give us more details on the slow demo, we'll look into improving it on the browser you're using. What operating system? What browser? What demo? etc.
I hate 2fa based on SMS or voice auth. Requiring proving control of a number is decent as an anti spam or flooding technique, but is horrible for authentication of anything high value enough to justify 2fa.

I also strongly prefer 2fa systems which allow me to enroll my own hardware token or use a software token (eg AWS IAM) vs systems which supply the seed so I can't (CloudFlare is depressingly the only service I use which still suffers from this, despite being otherwise pretty awesome.)

I have not said that, and you deliberately misunderstood me to make a point against practical democracy.

In any country with a practical, working, real-world democracy you can see the government mostly following opinion polls.

Finding out "what the people want" is extremely hard, at least if you aren't a populist politician or their adherents. The task doesn't get easier if you pose simple yes and no questions.

I think it is dangerous that people in western democracies increasingly equate referendums and votes with democracy, leaving out the conditions of the vote, the environment, the institutions and the state of the human rights.
Because if 40 hours of work a week can't pay for that, it's called exploitation.
In Sweden there's no minimum wage at all. We let the market set it.

The problem with most dedicated tokens is you probably don't want to use the same token across multiple services. It is a financial and physical logistical cost to have one per service.

I'd love a cheap hw token which could support around 32 simultaneous totp seeds. It would cost an extra 2 digits on the display and maybe an extra button (but hold vs press could be multiplexed so you get both)
Nternet Machine – Invisible infrastructures of the internet
As a smart phone user, I applaud the move to HTML-based apps. The storage on my phone is limited, and Android has moved towards making additional storage useless. A significant amount of that limited space is also taken up by the phone maker's notion of a UI and with preinstalled apps that I will never use and can't remove without significant hackery. If I can't fit your amazing user experience on my device, it doesn't matter.
For the Optus (and their MVNO) it's fairly trivial to just nuke the voicemail completely with a call to a specific code. Seriously, who even uses it anyway? Bear in mind that in Australia we are charged a clear dollar a minute to retrieve voicemail messages.

The notion that minimum wage isn't supposed to provide a living is a good way to keep adults and the children they support in abject poverty. That's a little more important than teenagers who want after-school jobs for pocket money.
Also prefix+z maximizes/restores a pane.
Yeah because you can directly compare Switzerland and the US. Where does the high income of Swiss people come from? I don't think the same thing would be replicable for the US (for starters, the US is not a tiny neutral country surrounded by Alps).

Abduco is a dtach replacement by dvtm's author. From http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/ :

"abduco is in many ways very similar to dtach but is actively maintained, contains no legacy code, provides a few additional features, has a cleaner, more robust implementation and is licensed under a BSD style license"
I can see various situations where government intervention in free markets is most decidedly a good thing.

For example, food and health industry needs to be regulated. The incentives for self-regulation otherwise are so low, that lots of people die and suffer until the market reaches its supposed optimal equilibrium of high safety standards.

Antitrust regulation is an intervention in a free market, though one could argue that without antitrust regulation, there is no free market...
It's the key sentence from a US-centric point of view.
To use an automotive analogy this is a bit like using social engineering techniques (e.g. pretending to be from the electricity company) to enter someone's house and then, once in, getting paperwork pertaining to their car. Theoretically you could then ordering a new set of keys from a locksmith, doorstepping the locksmith (when he arrives with the replacement key). You could then steal the car. Realising this stunt could work with any of the manufacturers that the locksmith can get keys for, you could then complain about how useless their cars were, that their locks were essentially broken. Of course, the attack would be entirely theoretical as the car 'stolen' would be one's own (because you were testing this attack vector so you could blog about it).

He should have got a job with News International. Essentially their 'phone hacking' relied on standard, factory set voicemail codes and their 'work' only came to disgust the general public when they deleted voicemail messages off a murdered teenager's phone, in so doing giving the parents false hope that she was still alive (as they were able to leave new messages as the voicemail inbox was no longer full).

Had the 'journalists' at News International known about this little trick for 2FA then, would they have really been able to glean anything useful? Yes, however, it would have been a one-time trick.

As soon as some junior royal (or footballer or politician) realised that they could no longer login to Facebook/whatever (because the password had been reset), they would have to reset it for themselves, plus they would have emails in their main inbox stating that their password had been changed. During this time the Facebook/whatever account could be thoroughly gone through, however, on-going access would be unlikely. So, in practical situations, e.g. getting scoops for 'newspapers', there is still limited use to this technique.
Progressive enhancement and graceful degradation
Makes you wonder what chemicals are going into lawns generally.

One of the lessons from my college days (informally acquired, take with appropriate quantities of salt) was that walking barefoot was as much a risk for chemical exposure as puncture wounds.
This law aims at the 10% that don't earn well.

The US isn't a poor country either. In fact, Americans are also among the highest paid in the world [1]. It's just not evenly distributed.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_w...
Which means about 10% earn less. Which is a big portion of the labor force that has to be paid more or let go. This is potentially a very big shock for the swiss economy.
Do you also test famo.us on low-end smarphones ? The famo.us videos I found show smooth results on high end smartphones like the nexus 5. It would be interessting to see if we can the same performances of low-end smartphones.

There is certainly value in keeping some copies around for future historians. However not every local library needs to or can afford to, and they aren't of much value to the people who use the library.
Different schools of thoughts have differing opinions regarding that. As a libertarian, I'd argue that the free market is better than government at deciding what needs to be automated. Minimum wages effectively impose a tax on human labor which in turn artificially incentivizes automation. Basic income might suffer from the same problem to some degree (by disincentivizing people to do lower paid jobs) but at least, it would accomplish the stated goal of minimum wages (that is, helping the more needy).
Still, same question, how would it lead to him having documents he handed off? There is, after all, a big difference between China wanting them badly, and Snowden wanting China to have them badly. Just because they wanted him to still have the documents likely had little to no bearing on him having them.
I pity you. Between those assholes, and the image the media gives of your field because of them, you must realy feel lonely.
Interesting that they did not choose to support TLS 1.2 for SSL encryption, and that they added RC4-MD5 as one of their (few) supported ciphers. Certainly doesn't make me feel any warmer.
Where did you hear that? Inherently any analog system will be more vulnerable to noise. Also, they're not deterministic.

Breaking bad news gently.

"Save the rain forests" has (for most first-world residents not presently part of #OccupyRainForest) a concerned-but-distant feel about it. It raises consciousness without doing too much to cause mental anguish.

Spend some time thinking about how things can fail (not uncommon for tech types, particularly on the ops side), and you start realizing there are a large number of paths to that destination. Some more probable than others.

For complex systems in general, the problem isn't the stuff you've got lots of -- yes, you can fit the human population into the state of Texas with a reasonable amount of breathing space (about 1025 ft^2 -- 32 feet square) -- but what constrains you -- Leibig's Law of the Minimum:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig%27s_law_of_the_minimum

Turns out there are a lot of things humans (and civilization) depend on which are in fairly short order: energy, environmental sink capacity, topsoil, phosphorus, freshwater, and a whole slew of critical industrial minerals for starters.

And it's kind of a downer to think about it.

But ignoring problems doesn't make them go away.

How close is the tipping point? Good question.

I've been playing with some geometric grown and consumption calculations:

http://consumptiongrowth101.com/RunningTheNumbers.pdf

Turns out that if you take the numbers for oil consumption from BP's Annual Review for 2013 and plug them in, oil at present reserves, rates of growth, and consumption, runs out cold in 2048. What that actually means is that the rate of delivery is going to start getting choked much sooner, and it's peaked as of 2005 with a bit of a bumpy plateau since. Oil fuels 95% of all transporation, which in Richard Heinberg's eloquent turn of phrase is the heart of commerce.

I could go on about oil exploration capex (Steve Kopits), fracking well depletion rates, and a slew of other stuff, but you probably don't want to hear about it.

First of, now we know from another commentor that that the M&M-test didn't work at all since catering was handled by a completely different crew than those setting up the stage equipment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7754636).

Second, let's imagine that M&M:s and safety is handled by the same people. Then brown M&M:s could easily be negatively correlated with equipment errors because a competent technician would spend more time double-checking equipment than full-filling bullshit demands.
They should have hired Chuck Norris instead to shoot all the people that block the internet in China or make the internet slow. With slow I mean slowing gmail down by factor 40.
Fact here: If you convert $ to euros with the current rates, that makes minimum wage 4380 Euros a month.

I worked for a year in Switzerland and I am telling you, you can barely live with that kind of money. Everything is so expensive over there at least Zurich.

So yes expect a Swiss Tourist coming in the US buying everything and have a lot of funs, but in Switzerland with that wage he won't be saving anything.
Same here, running a Go WebSocket server behind nginx, absolutely flawless. It allows me to tie all kinds of languages and frameworks together seamlessly.

Even though I could do it with Go, I let nginx do the SSL termination. It's more flexible and I can share the SSL cache with for example a PHP/node.js/... app. Using nginx for the plain file serving part of the app is also a dream.

What do you find so aesthetically pleasing about it?

Is it the mathematics/model building. Portfolio allocation mean-covariance? Different hedging schemes? Black-Scholes model? Different numerical methods?

Is it the system design? Use of FP to model different contracts or concurrency and distributed trading systems?

Or is it the statistics and back-testing?

Personally, I like the aesthetics a bit but mostly I love the thrill of gambling and watching the market tick and the aesthetics of CNBC money-honey's.
I really dislike SMS-based 2FA and do not use it at all.

Yet somehow, billions of people worldwide live on far less than that number after adjusting for purchasing power. The average Bulgarian subsists on roughly a US minimum wage salary (after adjusting for purchasing power - before adjusting for PPP it's about half a min wage salary). The average Indian subsists on far less.

How do they do this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_...

(Hint: roommates, cooking at home, long commutes or less desirable cities, giving up luxuries which are common in the US like a car.)

Note: don't say "cost of living". The numbers I cite adjust for that.
Nice.

However there is an implicit minimum wage linked to welfare. Any wage must be above what welfare pays or people might not bother working at all.
