This is great news. I love that tech jobs and workers are spreading out.
Some concentration is good but it’s way over saturated. That said real estate is still bonkers in Seattle (and everywhere really) so even with a huge out flow it isn’t even making a dent in affordability.
Fwiw and totally unrelated but, starting pay for SPD is $98k and goes up over $100k after first year of experience. Plus OT.
Grim point in time for these men.
Bribes work but the cost of draft-dodging is $800, an exorbitant amount for most people in an already poor area with an economy now crippled by the war.
Men pushing the top end of the draft age group have grown beards in an attempt to look older, although the raising of the upper limit to 65 means grey hair alone offers little protection.
Super cool little fun product. I like that Snap tries to be different and take chances on hardware.
Their glasses never really took off but they still iterated on it and did a second version and I’m sure some of the lessons learned there were applied to this product.
I’m curious to learn about how it does indoors.
He's going to fit in great with the rest of Amazon leadership.
I think most trucks have this feature now. My tacoma has a couple outlets in the bed as well. I've seen it on a few different american truck brands too.
It's been a handy feature for me
Listeners won’t have to pay to access the episodes, but they will have to become Spotify users. Spotify said in a press release that Rogan retains creative control over his show. It didn’t disclose how much it spent on the deal. The company will also work with an ad agency to jointly sell ads against the program. Rogan said last year his show reached about 190 million downloads a month.
What an unfortunate ending to JRE for me. A show that used to be sponsored by flesh-light and filmed in Joe's living room is now a celebrity talk show hosted in a walled garden.
Huge props to Joe and Young Jamie for growing it into this behemoth but sucks to see them turn their back on free publishing/consuming model of podcasting.
Also worth noting that just about every redlight intersection has cameras mounted on top pointing at traffic in each direction.
It's pretty much impossible to navigate through a city anonymously in a vehicle.
Now with facial recognition software getting so advanced I'd water it's impossible to walk through a city anonymously as well.
They don't necessarily need aerial imagery when every intersection has HD cameras pointing at you.
This whole story is written into a narrative to weep for landlords.
24 properties and can't pay mortgages, does she owe money on all 24 properties... or could she sell some of them she owns and reduce her debt load maybe?
Many landlords operate on thin margins, typically 9 cents for every $1.
What kind of horseshit figure is this!? Someone tell me what they mean, do landlords have a 9% profit margin on a static piece of property and that isn't enough still?
Many landlords aren’t any better off than their tenants and certainly aren’t rich enough to credibly pull off a bow tie, says Jan Lee, who manages two buildings in New York’s Chinatown that his family has owned for nearly a century.
Owns 2 properties in the most ridiculous real estate market in the US but doesn't make money, ok. Oh wait, it's that he can't pay property taxes this year, even though he hasn't had a mortgage for 70 years and is coming out of a 10 year bull run.
And that goes against the HN guidelines for down voting comments.
You're just suppressing someone else's opinion because you don't agree with it, not because it is wrong or inappropriate smh
More surprised the headline is Uber and not Lyft. What is Lyft doing to make headspace into food delivery?
Ok that makes sense. Thanks
Can I use nextjs or ssr react with websockets? Does that go against the pattern of server side rendering?
If I have a large app that has a few pages which use websockets so I'm not sure if nextjs is something that makes sense for me or if I should just start with create-react-app and go from there.
They did test it on Earth, there's a bunch of examples in the article, but you are limited to line of sight on Earth.
I think this has been submitted a few times but probably didn't get any traction because this site is pretty allergic to anything Mark Cuban.
However this is a great data first approach to seeing how companies are opening up, especially since many of these are regional and national chains which would follow similar/smae procedures across the nation when re-opening.
He mentioned revisiting these stores as well to track progress so I look forward to seeing how this data evolves.
Hopefully in a couple weeks, compliance goes up as stores and employees adjust to these new standards.
my pro-tip for watching JRE, set playback speed to 1.25x at least. Both of them talk really slow.
Wow those are really good points I hadn't heard yet about future outlook for colleges.
There's a lot of parents whom children are in high school now that already went through the student loan debt cycle so we should start seeing the effects of that soon.
Perhaps we'll see a rise in trade/vocational school as a result.
I think the stigma of not going to college is changing a lot (for the better) or at least in the programming world it seems that way.
Then housing prices would fall to prices in which people can secure a loan and then stabilize around that.
They’re not wealthy by the standard of the Bay Area
Is that because all of the people working service jobs can no longer afford to live in the Bay Area which makes $1 million 'not wealthy'?
Those people who make minimum wage of course work there so do we include or exclude them from this pov?
6. It's Connecticut not Montana, an FBI agent should be available to confirm in person this is a real request.
I'd say with no actual data to back up my position, that it is increasing.
My reasoning would be because tech companies have designed social platforms to reward shallow hot takes. If you say something provocative in the fewest amount of characters you generate the largest response. You are rewarded with karma/likes/votes/retweets. This we all know fuels dopamine reaction so it creates a cycle.
Short hot takes need to maximize the provocation of the statement. These short comments are easy to share and digest which is easy to create a short response towards.
Doing this over and over you have to devolve into crazy ass statements that resemble something a sociopath would say.
This was a really fascinating read, but subs/maritime topics fascinate me in general.
The sub in question is 200ft long. Has only been seen by accident due to TopGear Moscow photoshoot that happened to capture it surfaced off the coast in the background.
The sub docks underneath a mother ship sub which allows it to be transported.
The sub can go deeper than any US sub due to a weird construction style of titanium vessels inside the hull.
All of this happened in relatively shallow waters while being docked to the parent sub (something that wasn't revealed until later in the story)
A friend of mine works in a finance dept at Mayo and is getting furloughed. FTE not a contractor.
Quick edit: since he's been working there for the last 18ish months he has made it clear how poorly run and awful that place is to work for, sentiment is from way before covid.
bomb guys are EOD SW, they made a movie about them a while back, Hurt Locker.

I quit Amazon last year on ethical grounds. I stayed for 3years. After year 1 I was miserable but stayed because tech interviews are something awful (what a crazy sentence to even write).
The thing is, as long as you're on dat kooliad diet it's easy to look past all of Amazon's transgressions and unlawful, unethical, behavior because it's happening somewhere else so it's easy to rationalize why Amazon would act the way they did. Most employees that I worked with cared about one thing, the money, and the stock is hitting ATHs in a global pandemic.
So how long can they keep it up? Pretty damn long and I don't expect anything to change unfortunately.
PS, Remember, it isn't a faceless corporation, it's full of HN readers
Did Bloomberg change his opinions on China when they OK'd the "The Big Hack" in 2018?
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-04/the-big-h...
The controversy that unfolded from that was massive.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2018/10/...
The best available research indicates 95% of an average rural fox’s diet consists of meat, both hunted and scavenged, and mainly rabbits, rats, birds and small mammals. Insects and worms may constitute another 4% and the remaining 1% may consist of fruit. http://foxproject.org.uk/fox-facts/red-fox-diet/
Probably because they would also not discriminate against taking a swipe at small dogs and pets. So people complain and now your suburb is free from foxes and coyotes
I like your breakdown and effort you put into this. But I also don't think Quibi is going to fail anytime soon.
The BBC is joining an expansive roster of Quibi investors that includes Disney, Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, Viacom, and Goldman Sachs. Beyond that, Google, WalMart, and Proctor & Gamble are among the service’s advertising cohorts.[1]
That's a lot of big names putting money into this.
Now look at all the people they've got making content, it's a massive list of celebrities that draws from more than just Hollywood which means a lot of demographics are covered.
This story from the la times does have a lot of back and forth debate over topics you covered [2] worth a skim
