Just for fun speculation. What if someone realized that Google is scraping/using his data. Then he decided to put in a "honeytoken" to check this assumption and at the same time pull a prank on Google. Once he realized that his assumption was correct, he published the coordinates -- as a mini revenge.

Of course this is just some idle speculation, but I have seen honeytoken entries in printed dictionaries for example.

I'm not sure I entirely agree that JavaScript should be developed in a Progressive Enhancement style, for two reasons:

If you can live without it (the "progressive" part of progressive enhancement implies that the site is still usable without the JS), then I don't think you should be using JS at all. Semantic HTML and CSS are pretty amazing at adapting content fluidly and dynamically to a wide range of users and devices. Search engines expect documents to be laid out in a certain way. Web scrapers can add a whole pile of usefulness even to sites that don't create explicit public data APIs. You're going to have a serious hell of a time making it any better, and can easily make it a lot worse.

And on the other hand, content sites aren't the be-all, end-all of the Web anymore. The Web is increasingly a deployment platform for applications, and there are a whole host of applications that just can't be done in the browser without JS. Luddites who complain about "but I got JS disabled" aren't the target market for an image-editor-in-the-browser. Failing to load JS at that point is just plain failure to load the application and no amount of Progresso Soup is going to help you.

So yeah, I much prefer all or nothing.
I'd gladly move to a language that has the syntactic sugar of C++ (STL, lambdas, modules, and many other things) without the complexity (templates, inheritance, polymorphism).

Go and Rust seems to have weird syntax differences with C and I don't understand the utility of those. The go function syntax looks a little bit hairy.

My brother knew a guy back in highschool who was of the genius kind. After graduating he went to become a pilot in command and succeeded being one of the best as the genius he was.
He had a dream job and a dream pay yet he didn't like it so he searched for what he really wanted to do, deep down.
He afterwards left his job and went to Scotland to herd sheeps. Never heard of him since, probably because he loves it and never came back.

1. Don't quit immediately if you have choice, I will probably disagree with this.

2 and 3 is almost similar. Lots of us here try to build something cool, if you think your product will be loved by others stay there and just finish product, do not think about code, hardware spec and anything other than product, just build that product, make it work. Clients will not look at your code or how you designed your system, they will look for result, it works or not.

Just make it work and when others (especially management) are happy, tell them, hey guys because we had deadlines and other shit, we built product with shit design, let us work on it and fix it, otherwise when clients ask for improvement we will fail. when management is happy they will give you a time to fix shit.

I guess in every product there are lots of bugs and shit stuff inside, but they are selling and improving, as Donald Knuth said "Premature optimization is the root of all evil".

If it doesn't work than you can leave, just don't forget when deadlines are coming every "cool" startup, every "cool" hardware creates monkey patch, just to make it work and sell well.

As a "third country migrant", I see this whole post as some kind of B-grade Hollywood movie representation -- a place I cannot see myself fitting into in any way.

Immigrant communities in most parts of the world (esp. Indian/Chinese, that have moved to Middle East, America, EU) often grow in isolation from the locals. As such, the kids growing up there may feel camaraderie with their peers (fellow immigrants in their Asian-dominated school) but not really with the city. They go to the coffee shop and see someone "not like them" working there. They don't know what it's like growing up in our household. If the town isn't a higher education or career hotbed, we probably leave for college and never come back. Even when we visit home, none of our friends are there anymore.

I have no such thing as a home. I love my parents who are still together, but I can't relate to anything to their home -- where they grew up in their home country. The place I grew up in? Some strangers live there since it was some (series of) tiny rented apartments near my middle/high school. I am a foreigner everywhere I go.

But sometimes I'm in a city where I relate to more people, I make friends easily, the city cares about the same things as I do. It may feel like home. But often circumstances won't let someone like me stay in such a city long enough for it to really be my home. The city that feels closest to being home for me, I've spent merely 2 years in, during my early 20s. I haven't been able to go back the last 2 years, and I miss it like how I guess other people say they miss home, that I never understood until recently.

"Home" and "where are you from" are confusing and loaded phrases for many people like me.
Isn't that partly down to how marketing breaks the world for us. Marketing tells us you can "keep all your files safe on a USB drive" (or whatever) and that the cloud is the perfect place to store data that wouldn't be safe at home and other such insidious lies. Some people believe all that.

Perhaps that "safe" needs an addendum to be truthful, "MTBF is 5years at which point usually 2% of drive data is corrupted; this is not a suitable backup solution" or "our cloud storage facility has lost some data from 1% of all our users (2100 users) in the last year; 5.2% of users in the last 5 years" ... now that would be revolutionary.
Maybe not, but it definitely requires you to sit down and learn & understand what's going on, often longer than most of these people want to spend on one particular subject that may not be part of their regular job.

I don't usually reply in this way, but this way of writing CSS has been proven to me in many hard to predict situations and is something that I would fight for in every possible way, everywhere I can. :D

I've been part of large projects that if you don't follow some styleguide rules you end up with "!important" in your codebase. Which is bad.

Scalable CSS writing ( even more important for a CSS framework that you use as a base ) consists of a more modular approach to your stylesheet.

Let's say you have a list I would usually do it :

<ul class='collection'>
<li class='collection-item'>
<a class='button button--primary'></a>
</li>
<li class='collection-item'>Normal Text</li>
</ul>

By doing this I can safely remove the .button, code ( module ) and put it somewhere else on my page without affecting how it will look like. Something more if I feel that I have a totally different link in this exact place, well yes. I would call it '.collection-item-link', because '.special-fancy-link' isn't semantic at all.

Majority of time being awake (ie roughly 50% of those 16 hours), 5 days a week, most weeks of year, say 52 - 7(vacations) - 1-2(sickness/accidents, and yes, they do happen).

How you spend remaining time is entirely up to you. Me, for example, I've been through much more and grown quite a bit as a person in last 5 years (moved to different country), then in first 28 years of my life (33 now). Looking back, it feels like a lifetime and a bit more (weekends mostly in the mountains, either ski touring or hiking/climbing/etc), travelling around the world - recently 2 weeks in indonesia, etc). No, even those 5 years didn't fly by at all.
Do Startup Founders Make Good CEOs? What Happens When the Honeymoon Is Over

one important property of cash is it is printed debt-free by the state, which can profit from the seigniorage

this is the story of latter half of 20th Century, rise of credit cards and electronic transfers displacing cash

in UK, 1946, fully 46% of the money supply was printed debt-free by the state (with the profit added to govt bottom line), now it is a pitiful 2-3% with a corresponding explosion in debt money

You answer your own question. Women are hired in low-paying jobs like 'teacher'; men get the high-paying jobs. If a woman Could get hired as a CEO (and it makes the news every time it happens) then sure she gets (about) the same pay.

That's a far cry from 'equality'. That's a clear sign of bias, and a socially institutionalized marginalization of women. So ingrained in our society, that men feel compelled to defend the practice online with lazy arguments and denial.

> "Age discrimination is definitely an issue in this industry."

Perhaps this is true for certain segments of "this industry", but, like so many blanket statements on HN, this is just false for the larger industry as a whole. Most of the jobs in "this industry" are enterprise/corporate/consultancy, and those jobs are simply not age-discriminatory. For those who seek a work environment where the latest/greatest is paramount, please prepare yourselves to deal with the consequences. For the vast majority of us, other forms of discrimination are INCREDIBLY more relevant.

I don't see at all why nominal interest rates have to be superior to the interest that people get through other assets (including cash).

The real problem is that the base of the reserve requirements are based on demand deposits, which means that customer-centric banks are subject to reserve requirements while investment banks and (e.g.) bitcoin-based deposits are not. Which makes sense to some extent, because customer-centric banks are expected to have some cash on hand, but not to the extent that they would be the (only) ones who suffer from lower nominal interest rates.
Alternatives would be, e.g.:

a value tax on all investments (don't see how that could be unpopular)

Who's going to invest in a project that may take decades to find out if its going to be feasible?
Not entirely accurate. The 5th and 6th ports don't open up until 3800 and ideally you want to slightly redline it for a few seconds, but you definitely want to at least open up those ports. You can also get away with not doing it for a while, but you shouldn't.

on a pre-89 that (factory) redline is at 7k, 8k on 89-.
RX8s you have to hit 9k.

This does make it hard not to speed in an RX7, especially if you've done a little bit of work to it - not so much in the RX8.

> one important property of cash is it is printed debt-free by the state, which can profit from the seigniorage

This is actually not true in current typical monetary systems. There may be exceptions, but the typical setup is that the central bank prints physical money solely as a reaction to demand by banks (who need it to stock their ATMs). From an asset point of view it is an entirely neutral operation that is irrelevant to the state's fiscal position.

In some countries (including the US), coins are minted by the treasury and then sold to the central bank for distribution. In those countries, the state does profit from seignorage - but only of coins, so it tends to be irrelevant in practice (modulo the occasional amusing trillion dollar platinum coin debate).

Also, some members of her current trading team, which are more on introvert side (yes, there are some traders like that) were asking their boss on private meetings how to handle a WOMAN as their colleague. Some are 50-something, and never worked with woman directly.
