If I need any plumbing work done it costs me $200 an hour or more. Even with overhead and expenses, 10 hours a week gets you more than $50k a year. Twenty years ago my grandfather was a marine plumber and made $200k a year. How many apprentices and part-time plumber are in these datasets? reply :marxthink:

Ask HN: Son is major in CS, but doesn't code. Red flag? 25 points by mapster 7 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 81 comments His interests are more in socializing and hobbies than tinkering in python, C++, or javascript. He had a few classes in js and C++ and did very well, but its not something he continues to do on his own. I am not a developer or cs engineer, but my thought is for him to change majors if tinkering doesn't come naturally. deltree7 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] Both Indian and Chinese kids continue to excel in every industry, despite heavy involvement from parents. (and happy) OTOH, I've seen many White students raised by liberal parents with too much student debt (and depressed). So, unless there is data to prove that "letting 18 years old to make their own life changing decisions" on their own, we need to stop this overly progressive method. reply

notch656c 43 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] I always hire a lawyer for traffic court. Show up with a lawyer and wear a suit. Don't want them to think I'm one of the poors to stomp down. If you go to low-level court in middle America you'll understand what I mean -- 99% of the people there are drugged out and wearing rags generally look like their poo poo is not together at all and these are the people the lazy/burnt-out prosecutor is geared towards crushing effortlessly. They basically always offer some bullshit non-moving violation to make me go away. Saves me thousands on insurance premiums and has also saved me from a criminal record for my more serious tickets (like allegedly driving gasp 36 mph by a school, which apparently comes with jail time in Ohio). Bring on the hate. Y'all know I speak truth. reply

from that same hn thread: def_true_false 3 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] HN userbase is older and more American than tech in general. It follows that they are more invested in the legacy financial system than most and don't even encounter the problems crypto tries to solve. Also sour grapes. reply

HN is threatening me with a good time polygamous_bat 29 minutes ago | next [–] I think people are underestimating the problems that a blanket Tether ban from North American markets would cause. You think a Tether ban would cause people to switch to USDC? Ok, but that means some Tether needs to vanish and some USDC needs to be created. How does that happen? Ideally, it goes from Tether -> USD -> USDC... and there lies the problem. We don't know if there is enough USD in Tether's coffer to redeem all the withdrawals. And if there is not, or even if there is a doubt about it, then it becomes a game where the last person to withdraw loses. How would that look for crypto in general? How would people react to USDC if they or someone they know just got burned by another stablecoin last week? reply

I'll have it dismissed it if you go to traffic school". never even saw a judge

adam_arthur 11 minutes ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] Oil and coal have lifted more out of poverty than possibly any other invention/discovery in the modern era. The key is not to villainize fossil fuels, but to recognize their benefits and costs and decide collectively via policy what tradeoffs we’re willing to make. Think about how privileged you are in life that you can even consider not depending on fossil fuels. Hysterical takes like yours come across completely naive and uninformed. reply

The one time I had to go to court as a defendant or whatever the judge complemented me on wearing a jacket which was kinda awkward because a navy shipmate showed up in his khaki uniform and we had a drink over it later but the judge was like, mr dougdrums, please tell me how a fwc (dnr) officer wrote you this. The actual story was kinda funny and I had the privilege of being in the navy so the judge dismissed it.

why is someone else showing up in uniform awkward? because they saw you out of uniform? Also I don't really understand the "please tell me how a fwc (dnr) officer wrote you this" part either
