In my opinion, net worth is just a kind of useful "pulse" metric to keep an eye on how you're doing overall.

First, to address the "net worth" when buying a house, as mentioned in a comment, other than transaction costs, you should not have taken a huge hit when buying. The house should be valued close to the overall purchase price.

Net worth should include adding up all assets, such as what the house (and cars) would sell for, any 401k, etc, and subtracting any liabilities, the mortgage and other debts. At the moment of buying a house, you gain debt but you also gain the house as an asset. They roughly cancel each other out. I doubt the transaction costs exceeded $200k!

When you dive deeper into personal finance, depending on your goals, other values may become more important, like the total amount of assets you can and do invest so that they generate their own returns.
Yeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).
I don't have any critique about Bloomberg, just your characterization of it as right wing.

I can't remember ever seeing a "right-wing" viewpoint in Bloomberg's opinion pages. As far as I can tell the only op-eds they publish are pro-gun control, anti-income inequality or just generally anti-Trump.
I wonder how advances on royalties might fit in here.

I would think if the advances are large they could explain why new artists seem so prosperous, where if they were steadily getting royalty checks it would seem like they would have to live modestly at first.

One last step in my query-posed-as-speculation: New artists using the posited advance money would explain why they "brand" themselves using pink vinyl wraps on their Lamborghinis and maybe that sort of branding is important to promotion.
I really don't care what the underlying technology is, just more about how the design decisions affect it's applicability to my use cases.

For example, one advantage of git submodules over git subrepo is that it allows much smaller repositories. Since subtrac copies the commits into the parent repo, it doesn't have that advantage.

That's one reason among several why I say that subtrac looks more like subrepo even though it's built on submodule tech.
Or perhaps we should use this as a reason to swap more to public transport and walking?
I just hope they keep the ThinkOrSwim product alive. It's been a great platform for trading automation and development.
A thread from 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13707000
My startup http://sexbyfood.com provides a web-based reservation book for restaurateurs. It works on any HTML 5 browser or iPad, keeps audit trails of changes to reservations, prints a proper guest-list, has real-time activity feeds, a flexible allocation algorithm, and provides a plugin that restaurants can add to their website.
IMHO a photo-sharing app with social features it shouldn't be platform-specific from the beginning. I wish them good anyways and I'm curious if/how fast will this product succeed. Twitter has succeeded on it's limit of 140 chars, maybe this one will do it too on it's 50 friends, the idea seems kind of cool and simple.
Only one "eye" [Kinect] has to notice/process the movement; the other can infer, during the integration step, that the "rest" of a moving object comes with it, rather than stretching out.

I think it's a trial-and-error thing.

Work with some. Some won't be able to get things done. Others will.

And every now and then you'll find somebody that works out really good.

Do everything you can to keep those people.
Everyone's one-time friend, Tom, seems to spend a lot of time on Twitter and Facebook these days: http://twitter.com/#!/myspacetom/status/47005131086106624

The writing's on the wall for MySpace. Simple as that.
Honestly, any Debian derivative plus a decent window manager. As far as WMs go, in my recent-ish experience GNOME 3 was a gong-show and Unity was similarly terrible - it suffers from the same "my computer is a phone!" UI problems that OS X does.

If you're willing to put up with a little fiddling around, a tiling window manager like XMonad is really worth the learning curve. I've used it exclusively for work for the past year and it's been a revelation.
15%-20% is for photovoltaic solar cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics): where sunlight is converted directly into an electical current. The article here talks about converting solar irradiation into pure heat.
A good book:

I'm in the process of reading The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft and there was an interesting brief comparison of the fantasies of Tolkien and Lovecraft (both born within ~2 years of each other).

While Tolkien's fantasy world is structured, ordered, able to be understood, and extremely detailed by its author, Lovecraft's fantasy world is unstructured, chaotic, any attempts at comprehension result in madness, and leaves much to the imagination by its author[0].

As a huge fan of Tolkien, D&D, and the typical fantasy tropes, reading Lovecraft as a sort of antithesis of Tolkien is very refreshing.

[0] Sadly, could also be because Lovecraft passed at a much younger age.
Basically all of my Master's and PhD work involved scientific programming, but it was definitely not data scientist work. You're making a big assumption that science is statistics. There's scientific simulations (and deriving the models) and scientific visualization as well. Those are only two out of many possibilities.
Egger's book that he mentions, The Circle, has unnerved me since I read it. I've noticed myself looking at things I do through the lens of that book, and then continuing with that action. It's like I'm on a bus that's headed for a cliff, and I've resigned myself to the fact that it's going to go over, so I might as well sit comfortably than make a fuss.
and then talks about ... programmers!
> There are people who claim to be Trek fans who are actively objecting to "being preached to" by Picard season 2. To which I say: you never understood Trek at all if you object to it being a bit preachy.

Yeah, there are a lot of valid complaints that can be made about "New Trek," but this is manifestly not one of them. :)

(There is an article I have in my head that I will probably never bother trying to get out on paper, er, screen, defending New Trek against dismissals of it as dark and dystopian and "not Trek at all". I think there is a different take on it, but the take isn't "utopia is a lie," it's "utopia is not a steady state": you don't get to say "Federation achieved, everyone, we're now in a post-scarcity society and the only possible threats can come from outside." Many of New Trek's biggest problems, I suspect, come from trying to adapt our current model of short, heavily-serialized seasons, which all but requires ramping the stakes up through the season to ever more absurd levels -- and requires them to be way better at pacing than they've demonstrably been.)

> Which is actually where Picard season 2 falls down: by placing the debates in 2024 America, they're arguably too close to home to pull the trick off.

Hmm. I can see that, although I'm pretty sure that they've picked 2024 because it's apparently a very important year in prior Trek canon. (Relentlessly burrowing into canon is, if not always a problem, definitely a quirk of all of the new shows so far.)
We were created after all
I noticed this recently, too. I frequently scrape concerts from YouTube by adding them to a private playlist and then running a script on my HTPC to pull down everything from that playlist. As recently as six months ago, pulling down a 2-3GB playlist file (maybe a 30-40 minute concert at 720P) took ten to fifteen minutes. The last time I tried it, it estimated several hours.
Rather than the "obvious" answer from unfortunate casting decisions, by the middle of the series they're firmly 20th century Americans.
I'm just giving real world scenarios where people might have two phones, plenty of people have them for different reasons, it's useful to sync between them - I should have worded that differently.
I would have agreed before getting rid of Facebook in 2016.

Two key things - a power force for stealing my attention is gone, and I’ve dumped faux friends who are really just old acquaintances that felt more intimate because I got to see them on Facebook.

Instead, I actually talk to people who are here.
Another relatively young programmer here: born in 80 started but started programming somewhere between 92 and 94 on Commodore 64.

I've been extremely lucky to mostly have worked with mostly ordinary programmers with some extremely good[1] thrown in and luckily even with the brilliant ones all except two of them were also down to earth and nice as well.

It was striking for me when I read his paper on self replicating machine, basically a design spec for DNA, and that was in the 40s. I still can't believe it.
I'm obviously old and cynical. The idea that the script that sends updates to GitHub should break, and that nobody noticed for a year, sounds entirely plausible. Likely, even.
Thanks for taking the time to go through the site. I agree a 100% with every feedback and I am being very sincere when I say that I am sorry you had to go through this bad experience. My focus has been on the core product and now I am going to be focusing on marketing site. To that end, the product I have built is requirements management for SaaS applications. It's behind login page. I have taken some screenshots with some description and posted here https://imgur.com/a/XZoVUZR
In typical parlance today, "seminal" means "from which a bunch of important things have sprung" but I think there is an older definition which is simply "first".
This indeed is the concern. I don't think most people are going to care if it is PostgreSQL.Org PostgreSQL, or Babelfish for PostgreSQL in the long run. What they will care about is modernity of the development process and who has the "cool" features.

When you look at something that has nothing to do with the Babelfish functionality but would absolutely help PostgreSQL, consider PHOT. PHOT (Partial HOT) is a great opportunity for PostgreSQL that Amazon is trying to give back. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the .Org community were to not accept the patch, the feature would end up in Babelfish. If that happens, we now have a viable fork which has 100% compatibility++.
Search Ads are for the App Store and are completely contextual - eg. you search "translate" and a random translate app shows above Google Translate as an Ad. They don't have ads that target the user, only the search term.
And to expand on this, there's a reason why even Karl Marx understood the necessity of an armed working class: "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
Search youtube. You'll see firing examples of state of the art. Couple years is long tine.
You can put this question pretty much under every 2nd post on the front page

Anyways there are lot of SV entrepreneurs on HN so an (old) american company sold to a European (especially from the former Eastern block) is always relevant.

Also HN is much more than an "IT community" I think, much more diverse
Both are playing music loudly and projecting it openly. Either it’s allowed for all or allowed for none. I’m good with either decision as long as it’s consistent.
It’s known for being customizable. They had a good hold on one of those (expensive) hobbyist markets.

One of my favourites almost has that sci-fi look too https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/...
By waiting for someone to reach out for "implementation and technical support," at which point Canonical already has the data they need to investigate deeper? Not that that's even great, because 99% of the people who spin up a service will never contact Canonical and shouldn't have their info shared.
Get one of those lateral thinking puzzle books (there are probably 100s of websites online as well).

You could also take practice LSATs to get your fix.
I don't have a dog in this race either way, but I'm curious what you dislike about Schneier's book.
I hate seeing decks. Especially the "market size" slide. Curiously, I invested in Immad's startup -- but they never showed me a deck :)
jwz's prophecy comes true once again.
Exactly.

And when he's talking about winning the martial arts fights, he goal was to "WIN", not to play the game. And like gursikh says, either put up or shut up. We need concrete examples!

Overall, I think Tim has done a lot for a lot of people with the ideas that he shares in his books.
I think he makes a good point about cloud stored data, but failing to acknowledge having a developer mode baked in to the OS and a trusted boot process that doesn't prevent modification was a real mistake. Google obviously went to great pains to buck the polar trends in OS security = either being in denial about the current security landscape, or removing all user control entirely for business purposes in the name of security.
Wonder if the same ruling would cover text messages. Can the police peruse your cell phone under "reasonable suspicion", or would an explicit search warrant be necessary.
Very cool term, sadly its totally unacceptable to use in English. I will never be able to describe someone who is overly obsessed with minute details as a "fagidiot" in America. The associations built into that term are just too politically incorrect.
how did you get a free notebook?
If you're using Ruby, whenever is a better solution.

Wraps cron so you don't have to. Integrates with Capistrano.
Another way of thinking about it:

You're in a startup, and you see that your "burn" gives you approximately six months of runway. Your revenue is increasing, but too slow. The lines do not intersect.

Doing nothing proactive about the fossil fuel problem is identical to doing nothing proactive in that scenario. "Burn" is quite literal in this analogy, and "revenue" is analogous to our ability to tap and utilize other sources of energy economically. Right now we're like a startup on a death march to bankruptcy. Barring benevolent aliens, I doubt there's any more venture capital available.

A lot of people have a cognitive block about this issue because historically it's an issue raised by "liberals" and "hippies." But it's not a political issue. It's a physics issue. It's as "hard" and objective an issue as it gets.

If humanity were to fail as a species and you asked me (in the afterlife?) why, I'd say "because we used ideas and facts as indicators of membership in social cliques, making it impossible to think objectively about things without threatening our standing in those groups."
Here’s a script that automates the once-per-repository local setup of this feature:

Unfortunately there isn’t support for it in GitHub or GitLab yet, but there’s at least a GitLab issue here requesting it:

>Justice Department officials said the transactions at the time were valued at $71 billion in Bitcoin, but with the rise in the currency’s value, it is now valued at over $4.5 billion.

I think that's a typo and they really meant $71 Million.
Very cool! Looking forward to POS demos at the March event.
Let the chess games begin. UK on the attack now desperately trying to find an angle to sell to the public.
I’m not sure the federal government has the plenary power to enforce such things in the United States. So it was never an option. Authoritarian governments or single-state nations are better able to mandate behavior.

The lockdowns, even as implemented, extracted an enormous toll on small businesses and mental health.
For me it was the arrow keys that drove me nuts and made me return my sculpt keyboard. I realized that without having some space around them, I needed to look down every time I wanted to find them.
The word racism is meaningless to many people now. the definition is too encompassing and by denouncing it, particularly in conversation with a political activist, you have no clue what you are signing up for.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/dictionary...

From the linked article:
Merriam-Webster captures this as well, noting that racism can mean “a political or social system founded on racism.”

So by denouncing racism I am literally denouncing the entirety of civilization I guess.
This is key. Nick Land is not fungible here, not either an interchangeable racist or an interchangeable cipher who some racists like. He's someone who started off as an interesting and creative thinker who had a lot of influence on the blob of lefty internet-flavoured critical theory philosophy stuff which still drives the online intellectual left [1], but then veered off into unproductive nastiness.

I suppose the link is there because Scott Alexander thinks that he's written some stuff which is worth reading, and that readers of the blog will be able to distinguish that from the rubbish. Needless to say, this is completely outside a present-day NYT journalist's model of the world.

>>What should society do when an an argument is factually correct but leads to an immoral result?

>Choose a moral alternative.

Are you saying that facts should be suppressed/set aside when they lead to immoral results? I can't assign any other meaning to your words.
If the US is such an awful country why do so many clamor to immigrate here? If you're in the US why are you still here maybe you should move to a country you don't look down on? You have no clue what life can really be like in other places.

Plenty of other countries put people in jail for life from a young age. Some countries are so non-transparent you could never discover a fact like this. Doesn't make what happened to this person right by any means but using it as a cudgel to tear down the US is pretty cowardly IMO.
> They want the WHO to be honest. And they aren't

They are working with what they have, which comes from governments and governmental health agencies. If they don’t have information, they say ‘we don’t know’, even though everyone knows that the most likely scenario involves emergence in China.

If one wants them to be able to coerce information out of China, then by definition it would need to be more powerful.
If you're serving webpages, look for a networking library that handles HTTP.

If you're sending arbitrary chunks of data (like for a game), use a socket library. I've used WebSockets in the past, which handles the low-level stuff under the hood. There are libraries that implement it for Java, Go, C++, JS, etc. Check it out at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_...

It's not totally headache-free though - some issues I ran into were:

- running locally vs over the internet

- data formatting

- recovering from timeouts/dropped connections
The question in the Rittenhouse case isn’t what sentence people get for murder. It’s whether he committed murder at all, or killed in self-defense after having the horrible (and probably ethically unsound) judgement to travel armed to an obviously violent event. It’s not an example of what’s being discussed.

There’s more than enough cases that legitimately make the case for racial sentencing discrimination. Quoting this ridiculously politicized case will only harm the cause by providing ammunition to the other side.

I mean, I personally think that 68 years in prison for almost anything is a horribly abusive practice. Acceptable for some few instances of violent crime. But since I also believe that killing in self-defense can sometimes be justified with no punishment, it’s not a very good point to use for discussing.
Conversely, if you are graded on the curve, you want your coworkers to be provably lousier than you are.
I work for Google and I use Facebook regularly. It's still used by over 90% of my friends and acquaintances, in all (especially tech, academia, medical) spaces.
Glyphosphate isn't a pesticide, it's a herbicide
I think this is more about making a noise than selling something. I doubt it will sell but it was worth doing anyway.
I think I'd have to agree with you in general, but I'd also have to admit that things start making me do a double take when you get down to the forces from the casimir effect in the nanometer range between uncharged conductors that make me think it would be in the realm of QFT for one much more versed than I am to come up with some theoretical frame work that millennia from now would be considered basic knowledge like conservation of energy was once thought of in the past…
I was going to ask why these agencies even use polygraphs but found an answer on wikipedia: "According to a report to Congress, polygraphy in the security clearance context has little utility in detecting untruth, but significant utility in inducing verbal admissions. That is, polygraphy is mainly useful as a prop in the interrogation process. Further, this likely accounts for its continuing use by government agencies." Sounds real reliable.
The VsVim extension for Visual Studio is actually quite good too.
I disagree. the site is fine IMO. It communicates the message clearly.
One way to count is to count all the bugs that get fixed. Another would be to consider the security issues with the greatest impact on the past year. Solarwinds, and probably the Exchange vulns, would be my vote. Which would a memory safe language have prevented?
I haven't tested it, but I think this would not work well with text-mode browsers (like lynx), as they likely would not recognise the role attribute. Possibly, for them, there should also be a concealed actual hr node.
I bow to superior knowledge.
Describing the options available currently today is not a helpful contribution here, and seems intended to silence discussion of something considered unjust by others. Beyond the facts you've cited — as a private company, Amazon owes no duty of 'guaranteed platform' whatsoever — is there anything else you're able to contribute to this discussion? What are your views? Do you agree or disagree with the "simple" circumstances you cite? Do you consider Twitch's actions likely to promote injustice against minorities?
I think that's an expense a company should be enthusiastic about paying- along with upgraded internet, sharing of power bills... maybe the occasional lunch delivery.
I don't know about you, but I don't drive better when I'm stressed.
