>The Fed data shows that a degree still makes an important contribution to financial stability

I don't see the causality explained. I would replace "contribution", with "correlation".

True. But it does not make them "more" selfish because they just disagree with one's just as selfish opinion. (My point) Let's stop calling people names, and all argue what evolution we want, and possibly respectfully disagree.

Are you saying that unless one welcomes an infinity of people in their backyard, one cannot be inclusive?

I think you should explain and defend the policy you wish, instead of critizing an imaginary adversary by putting words in their mouth.

If you want more housing, hoping that prices will go down, say so. If you favor a SF Bay area looking progressively more like NY City, say so. Many people are very happy in NYC. And prices are also very high there.

Just expect some people to frankly disagree with that proposed evolution, and don't attack them by being non inclusive: this is not the question. Misrepresenting their arguments is not helping further your point of view.

(whose incumbent said "we will do anything to solve the housing crisis?" in your original point?)

Again, from the people living there, what's the housing crisis?? Yes, they are trying to limit how many people are coming in, that's obvious. This is different from inclusive and diversity issues. This is about 100 new diverse people rather than 1,000.

Again you can disagree with them, it is fair, but I think their approach is perfectly understandable, and if you want to argue and debate, no one should assume they are hypocritical or morally inferior. I read thosr comments all the time on HN.

The minute you say "housing crisis", you show which situation/point of view you're coming from. It's not a crisis that "needs" to be solved with more housing, it is just your viewpoint.

People currently living there don't see it as a "housing crisis". They see it as "too many people coming here, trying to change our single family house peaceful residential neighborhood into bigger buildings".

So "how about limiting influx of new people / new development?"

"Sure, let's do that"

I understand newcomers may disagree with that approach, out of understandable self interest.

But implying people currently living there are clueless or more selfish by defending their interests?? Trying to make newcomers sound morally superior? Come on.... You can do better that than that.

1- salmonella is not due to eggs only, but meat and vegetable also

2- you probably read in the article like all of us that chicken in Europe are vaccinated against salmonella, while this is not mandatory in the US

Therefore I am not sure how you reach this conclusion.

I am a ghost online, and nobody is talk-trashing me.

If someone tells me I am a ghost online, I'll smile and says "correct!!". And if the person is interested, I can explain why.

Questions are opportunities for meaningful conversation.

VOIP. 150 ms max recommended, noticeable degradation of UX at 250ms. Many phone operators use wifi to connect when they can. If people's phone does not work well, they'll complain.

Not GPS related, but the day I am really worried about is January 19th 2038 3:14:07AM... Unix time will roll over if stored in a signed four byte integer field.

But I was logged in with RDP when I saw this... So I assume everything related to boot was over and not related.

I was typically using c3.xlarge for CPU-intensive tasks (video processing).

Boot time was OK. I would log in on the machine with RDP, because sometimes my processes were almost frozen for a while. It felt like my neighbours were stealing my CPU, but I did not know how to prove it.

Once I moved to Ubuntu, same instance type, I never experienced this.

I used Windows instances a few years ago. Beyond the slow start, once started, frequently the CPU would stay stuck at very low %, and my tasks would run very slowly.

Eventually I would get to 100%, but it could often take 10 minutes.

What I learned from those pains is how to use Linux in the Cloud.

...and? From a job market standpoint, does it help him? Does he "sell" it on his resume, in interviews? Is it valued? Did it help him competence/knowledge-wise?

From a personal standpoint, did it help/enrich him?

The minute you take investors money, whether seed, convertible debt, series A, then you are not the only boss anymore. You KNOW you will not be able to be independant and stick it to the man.

That's a very important decision, very early. And once you make it, you can't change it.

The decision to agree to sell to FB was made when they took their first seed money.

The French government passed a law in mid-2018 that ends the special "cheminot" contract for new hires. It will effectively grandfather the old way in 10-20 years, and make it smaller every year.

So I don't think this is fair or accurate: "rather than addressing the fundamental issues (inability to fire people, change cost structure"

In a similar fashion, why does Google Play needs access to my Contacts each time I want to use Maps?

Case in point:

- the XIII comic series, very popular in Francophone countries but not much beyond

- The Bourne Supremacy, directly inspired by the series, a massive movie success worldwide.

"master’s or higher degree from a U.S. institution"

This puts at a competitive disadvantage international universities over US ones, regardless of education performance.

It sounds like protectionism, which will translate into more foreign students applying for US universities, driving education costs even higher.

You will now definitely buy a degree/name, not so much an education.

Sad.

>Every time [...] it blows up [... on] Hacker News.

Or only every time you hear about it?

Yes, employees are fighting for their wills. What's wrong with that? If you don't fight you don't get anything

So many people running small businesses make very good money. I hear 20% a lot for normal businesses. Mine is more computer oriented, and old school too, and it is around 45%, several hundred $K a year. Nobody advertises around those because there is no rewards to do so.

If you want to start a business and make money, do not rule out old economy, and bootstrapping. Whatever VCs say.

If you care for your pizza, your customers and employees, you will stay in business for a long time, regardless of who opens a shop next door. Staying power, habits: those are huge positive factors for businesses.
