It's actually down on the trend line. Your numbers average out to 6,576 per quarter, so lower than the first q. So while there was an uptick it was because of delayed demand (ie, people knew a new macbook was coming out). Looking at the number it looks like the new macbooks have actually hurt their sales.

Look people, this is a problem [1]. We all need to stand together and not only for ourselves.

You're including Austin, TX (Semiconductor) in that search. Their CA engineer salaries are much lower. Also, I wonder about that data. I've seen bigger CA databases that have more records and lower salaries. Also, look at what AirBNB pays their H1B's.

Edit: Sorry, going to retract this. My data is a few years old. It seems like they have started paying market rates.

But compared to the last few elections they stayed home [1]. It could be voter suppression but they were also down in California.

And Samsung US. They pay H1B's absolute crap. This would be a good thing for them.

Black people didn't turn out to support Hillary against the Trump racism against Mexicans and Middle-East countries. Now you complain?

Why don't you google "black lives matter ACLU". They have fought data collection about BLM protesters as well as defended people unlawfully detained at protests.

And we have been funding the ACLU individually. I like that YCombinator is now trying to help them as a org.

This comment is unpopular because you're just being a troll.

Edit: I get you are complaining about the recent swell of funding. And YCombinator probably skews immigrant. So I retract my troll comment. But know there are some white devs here who have supported ACLU and BLM. There's no easy answer. Racism is deep in the US (and actually most countries). It's not a zero sum game. Fighting Muslim racism (I know it's a religion) doesn't mean that we forget about other people of color. People have to unlearn the racism that their parents taught them.

Edit2: But black voters didn't turn out to vote for Hillary in support of Mexicans and Muslims. Why should we now help you? Serious question.

I've used ffmpeg/x264 professionally and personally and I'd not suggest this for the average user. It's a bitch to get all the settings right.

If you're building an automated system to transcode video ffmpeg/x264 is great (or better yet, use an online transcoding service). For an average user go with Handbrake.

I meant co-opting your opponents message.

Look, this email is pretty typical for political operatives of every campaign. You would see much uglier stuff (I think) if you saw the emails of Trump operatives (graft, self-dealing, calling voters idiots where you could shoot someone on 5th st, etc).

TPP was an easy call. For NAFTA he's going to pull some Carrier renegotiate bullshit. Smoke and mirrors. It's too big to kill. Maybe over 10 years. Maybe.

Don't get me wrong I like protecting jobs in the US and have been very pro-US made. But Trump is not that and is just turning the steal-from-middle-class dial up to 11.

Well, rust-belt protectionism played a key part (NAFTA, TPP). I was a Bernie supporter and was really disappointed when Hillary didn't co-op Trump's working-class rhetoric or get energized to at least compete in that battlefield. This is what Bill excels at. Obviously she shut him out of the core team.

Also, she was not that compelling as a candidate. And had all those negatives that I won't go into. Most of them false. But still, why do you put up a establishment candidate on a change cycle (looking at you Wassermann and Brazille, core dems)?

Edit: I don't especially like TPP but I saw it as a strategic shift to Asia for the US. Now China will likely join a TPP-light and really benefit. For better or worse this is going to be a big change over the next 20 years.

7.5k off MSRP can be kinda subjective. 7.5k off MSRP on a 100k car is not the same as off a 35k car. What was it relative to the dealer invoice? That's the real metric. Sorry, programmer.

Also, my brother-in-law bought a RAV4 in a cold weather state recently and did the whole "I will only pay invoice!" thing. They were like, "Yes sir!. Sign this this this. Bye". It's hard to know what kickbacks the dealers are getting over invoice so the dealer may still be making a good 5% over invoice (and on volume this is really good).

Don't get me wrong, you did the right thing. I got hard core scammed when I bought my first new car and now only buy used. Fell in love with a car from a magazine at 22, walked into a dealer and bought a dealer car (essentially a used car) at near full price with their financing (something crazy like 22%).

I'm not against negotiation. Just buy used and negotiate. Dealerships are evil.

Edit: deleted a hanging sentence Edit2: Tip #2: join a credit union. When I finally read the 22% rate (on a 35k car, in 1992) I called my bank. They gave me a 6% quote and said "don't do anything. we'll take care of this". I got so many angry calls from the dealership claiming my credit will be ruined, they will repossess the car, I'm a scumbag, etc. None of those are true. You have a few days in California to transfer a loan if you fuck up (thanks Cali).

Agreed, as a software developer I often see confounding multiple problems. Sometimes they are related to a third origin, sometimes they are just two separate problems that happened at the same time by chance. Usually they appear when all the low hanging fruit (easy bugs) are gone. Software is not hardware, I know, but my guess is these satellites are buggy as hell.

Wow. Thanks.

I believe this is only a current indicator because of less predators. Ie over-fishing.

We don't know, but most studies that look at what does well in acidic oceans come up with jelly fish. Lots of jelly fish.

Yum, heavy metal infused jelly fish...

I lived in Tokyo in the late 90's and the bike lanes are a new (or newer) thing. They really make the city nice (at least in the summer).

This is somewhat of a good point, I like film's aesthetics too. But, grain and noise are two different inter-related things.

A digital full-frame sensor (vs 35mm film) at the same settings is going to have much less noise. I love film. But the fact is that silver vs cmos is a losing battle of technologies.

Hacker news is what reddit should have been [imho]

Interesting. I never did E-6 processing. But I have to say it's a lot more involved processing than b&w [1]. But nice to have a color process to do from home.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-6_process

But who will develop it? That's going to be damn expensive. That's why I have all my b&w gear still. If I get the bug to shoot film I can develop it myself.

It depends if you are talking about detail or color accuracy. I shot medium format for years until digital just passed it by on both.

Same here. I was on the Big Island snorkeling. I was chasing a fish and dove down to the bottom when all of a sudden an octopus uncloaked and inked me. Without thinking I just started bird dogging him. Eventually it started shaking in fear (my assumption) and couldn't cloak. I felt bad for stressing it so much and broke off the chase. It's pretty amazing to look into their eyes. There is definitely something going on there.

It's pretty sad what we are doing to the oceans.

This. They usually figure it out later if it's in their benefit. You've got one month to catch an error on their part.

I'm not sure about Austraila, but he likely wouldn't pass the bar in California. I would suggest he picks another profession.

Edit: admitting to amoral behavior, drug use, etc. Those are grounds for the bar to not let you practice.

Exactly. This is an excellent idea.

Those are all super good points. I am also a contrarian. So I understand your points.

But this is basically coming down to the sharp drop off in your world view. You give Trump a wide latitude in what he says. What if he puts her in jail? What if he meant that? What if he meant everything that he said but you explained it away?Were you complacent?

edit: typo

Dude, go see the comments in reddit /r/the_donald and then get back to me.

I hope that the "40%" (more likely 20%) will come back to rational thinking, but we will see. I consider myself a left leaning centrist, and I like some things Donald says, but it's only because a broken watch is right twice a day.

While I don't agree w/ Marco on all his points, I think Thiel should go.

Trump/Thiel are racists against multiculturalism. This is the life blood of California and the tech sector. I say this as an old white guy.

>>1 I'm impressed by the 9th dimensional re-reading of "You'd be in jail" if he were president. I know your God Emperor loves that you help him complete his sentences and also tie his shoes.

>>2/3 Sure, Trump is a fact-based kind of guy! So after he cries fire in a crowded theater let's trust he's the the guy trying to stop the mob. /s
