The "career" in question could be autorouter developing.
That said, I'd suspect it's similar to CS: autoprogrammers are "known" to not work. If you can understand and articulate the business logic in a concise way, understand and articulate all the components of the system and how they may interfere with each other, understand and articulate the system's nominal and practical input ranges, etc., then sure something might autoprogram the code for you, but it's not the autoprogrammer doing the real work.
HN is no different. For a handful of select hot-button topics, any deviation from toeing the party line will result in near immediate downvote barrage and eventual [flagged][dead].
On the flip side, for some (usually the same) topics it’s easy to write banal karma-fishing comments sure to rise to the top of the thread. At least HN has a time-decay aspect on those.
Unfortunately while US's NOAA provides all the data needed free of charge (with an API to boot), the UK government's equivalent charges an MSRP of £38.30 and requires finding and contacting an authorized distributor, though the data does seem to be more worldwide. I haven't seen other offerings.
It will change station to station, but if you open the station details page, adjust X Range to something like 28/180 days, then tune low pass to filter out all the high frequency (daily) fluctuations, you might get your answer. Some stations don't have strong Solar contributions, and won't change much on an annual basis, you can enable the Harmonics toggle and see if any show up on the outside in yellow (disable Sun).
I did consider adding a "max finding" mode of some sort, but that's never really been my use case.
A website to see a map of the world's tides, and bidirectional predictions for individual stations (edit: worldwide too, forgot I added that). The UI/UX is... archaic, but that's just how I wanted it. It works fully offline. https://solunar.pages.dev
Most fun part was transcribing 70+ year old NOAA tide calculation mathematic/astronomic/hydrologic research papers into modern TypeScript. Approach is semi-documented here: https://github.com/JacksonKearl/solunar
I'm simply stating the idea the P's present of "How terrible is this? I made 1,000,000, spent 1,000,000, but now I don't have money for taxes!" is quite literally a lesson any kid should have learned when they first went to the store to buy a $5 candy with a $5 bill and learned the way of the world.
Given restaurants aren't in the business of R&D I don't see why you're trying to make an argument based on applying R&D tax law to them. It's disingenuous, at best.
Which just ends up with corporate accountants structuring the books to minimize "profit".
I for one can't find it in me to get all that upset about startups paying their fair share of taxes instead of artificially inflating salaries to consume all of their "revenue", thereby hoarding talent away from the labor pool that would likely better serve the country as a whole by working in... really anything besides risky chronically unprofitable startups.
Isn't the simple solution to just not give away all of your revenue before you pay your taxes?
The two constants are death and taxes, if you don't have the revenue to pay them at your current burn rate, you either find a way to burn less or your company just isn't viable.
Changing the prior poll made sense. The options were “unban immediately”, “unban in a day”, “unban in a week”, “unban in some longer a lot of time”.
The issue with this is obvious: there’s only one “you fucked up” option and the “I agree but let’s talk specifics” group is divided into three. So even though the majority of people said “I agree”, the “you fucked up” got the most votes. Classic first-past-the-post failure mode.
That said, the later poll didn’t reflect this dynamic. My suspicion is that early on in polls the answers are likely to lean pro-Elon, as the votes are more likely to to be Twitter stan’s. As time goes by word of mouth spreads news of the poll to people who aren’t as active on twitter and accordingly are less likely to be pro-elon.
It was the same with the “should I step down” poll, started out pro-Elon, flipped as popularity increased.
Maybe not patronizing, but it does hurt your case. My team recently went though to remove “please” from all dialogs because user testing found phrases like “please reload to active X” resulted in more people ignoring the dialog and later wondering why X wasn’t activated than just “reload to active X”. I assume the bartender has run similar experiments.
Just don’t be mean. I read this a while ago, then observed an interaction at a bar that made me want to respond:
A party kept moving from table to table. I have no clue why. But the waiter would need to go and clean every table that they left, for both basic sanitation reasons as well as COVID. Waiter didn’t know what to do to get them to stop. So he goes to bartender to tell him the issue.
Bartender immediately says to them: “guys, every time you move we have to clean a table so pick a spot“. Party never moves again.
Bartender could have thrown a bunch of “if you don’t mind”, “we’d really appreciate”, “please”, etc’s in, but didn’t. They also could have thrown some less pleasant adjectives in, but again didn’t. They explained the problem, proposed a solution, and left it at that. That’s the “nice” thing, IMO. Anything else is patronizing or aggressive.
> Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce
Not GP, but this line in particular is dangerous -- that funeral home will do everything they can to harass whoever they can to get their money. Is that how you want to be remembered by your next of kin? Speaking from experience (homicide of a college student, so no blame for not paying), homes will charge tens of thousands just to release the body.
Taking individual cars, perhaps. But if you put two people in a Prius you’ll save on emissions relative the the same two flying. Based on [1], flying is roughly 75 passenger-miles per gallon. Prius is 45 MPG, perhaps ~40 under load. So if you have more than one person in your group, better off driving.
The argument could be made that if you don’t board, that plane will still fly and consume the same fuel, but of course the numbers only matter en masse anyways.
To be fair, a kid after three years of high school is "senior". As is a kid after 3 years of college. Perhaps your word2vec("senior") is what needs recalibrating.
