> 1. House prices rise to the point where the down payment is essentially the price of the house. The house price itself becomes imaginary. What you are really worried about is the down payment.

Yes and no. This is also true in all markets. No one really buys a house based on the price. They buy it based on the monthly payment (price - down payment and interest rate). The price alone is mostly irrelevant for the buyer.

This means that for most people, the best time to buy a house is when interest rates are sky high since falling rates are easy to take advantage of in the future. High rates also mean the original principal is likely low.
Is there a way to stay on top of the research that’s referenced in these works?
You’ve set up a convenient dichotomy where one through pure reason alone arrives at the inevitable conclusion that one should “liquidate and donate any excess they produce”, or else one is merely being driven by pure sentiment/feel-goodiness. For some reason though it is only these tunnel-vision engineer types that seem to be sentimentally drawn towards this oh so obvious conclusion.

(As an example: a socialist will probably not think that making the most money possible and then giving a lot of it away is the most ethical thing to do.)

And yes, of course my obvious point is that everyone should just quit their jobs and travel to Africa.

> I was more of an Emacs person

Are there really any benefit of switching from Emacs to Vim? I was under the impression that both editors were pretty much interchangeable.
Scottish Universities do charge fees - if you aren't from the appropriate place (probably the entire UK and EU these days) or if you want to do multiple degrees then you have to find the money for them somewhere. My wife has four degrees and (she changed career from Finance to Law) - and her LLB and LLM were paid for privately.

As a normal student doing a single undergraduate degree you were never really aware of how much your course cost but the University was certainly getting a chunk of money from the relevant Government department - whether you call these "tuition fees" isn't that important.

Scotland has had a tradition of meritocratic access to Univerities that goes back a long time - within that context having fees paid for by taxpayers doesn't look that odd. Certainly I benefited from it - I came from a low income family from the rural North of Scotland and all four of my siblings and I went to University/College.
Here, let me give more "less painful" advise:

1) Don't quit your job, start consulting on the side

2) Don't quit your job, start a product on the side

Both options won't cut paycheck. Take calculated risk. OP is no longer a 24 years old super smart developer.
If someone is working in an insane environment then that is his problem and also highly unlikely to be using Rust anyway. Why should library developers care about keeping compatibility with old Rust compiler versions for some arbitrary amount of time?
But also because of this specific crowd it seems a good chunk of them are not selling on the idea that if you buy at $300 and sell at $50, you definitely lose.

So close! You're almost completely correct, but remember that a loss is considered a win on wsb, because you get to post loss porn. Can't spell trader without retard.

Your comment is excellent. But I just wanted to chime in with a "yes, but remember that they don't take themselves very seriously" type reply. It's necessary for preservation of their culture. People who act like they know a thing or two tend to get immediately jumped on, which I found quite refreshing. "But will a gamma squeeze happen?' is usually met with "stfu and go read a book rather than drop terms you don't understand."

Which ... seems unhelpful and awful, until you realize that it preserves the important property of letting everyone feel like they can participate. You, me, anyone. And I don't really see how that's a dangerous group; it's more like a virtualized casino meme factory.
The elephant in the room is not whether I‘m worth 150K in S.V. but 50K if my cost of living is lower elsewhere. The real issue is what enables S.V. companies top pay three times as much. Why is it not possible to set up a similar company elsewhere which makes similar revenue and should be either insanely profitable or pay 150K and employees would become insanely rich as cost of living are lower.

I think neither S.V. nor the market is rational.
I agree, the free market decides your wage no only on technical prowess, but also your "influencer score" and your personality traits.

Technically savvy folks with a low influencer score may get paid less.

Technically savvy folks who do not negotiate well may get paid less.

The modern market rewards folks based on their "basked of skills".
Now you are exaggerating. KTH is of course a good school for Swedish standards but calling it elite is weird. In what way would you say that KTH is elite, because I genuinely do not understand how the word "elite" applies to this school?

I'm a bit out of touch, but of all schools in Sweden, the only I'd call elite - by the common meaning of the word - is Operahögskolan (I think it's called, the Opera school) and possibly Stockholm School of Economics and the medical schools of the larger older universities + Karolinska. Those places are highly competitive.

Everyone I know, from the little village I grew up in Sweden, who wanted to go to KTH, did so.
Because only one party has the upside when the seller of labor moves to a location where they have few buyers of labor.

A seller of labor that has multiple buyers can negotiate for more pay in places where they have lots of buyers for their labors (and their buyers can afford to pay).

A buyer of labor will not explicitly state this for obvious reasons, just like a seller of labor will not explicitly state they will accept lower pay if their situation changes, but every transaction in life is possible to be subject to negotiation.

> Identity politics is used to get people to ignore class politics. It is driven primarily by the left-leaning political factions.

That's amusing, because most of the people of colour I follow on the Fediverse give class-based intersectional analyses of political happenings. In most leftist circles, identity politics has been seamlessly merged with class politics in an effort to ensure that class politics serves the purpose of uplifting all lower class people, rather than just the white lower classes, and in an effort to eliminate discrimination and mistreatment of all kinds. This is the purpose of any form of left-wing ideology.

Indeed, Tony Cliff wrote on the topic of class and intersectionality back in the 1970s*, it isn't a new thing -- certainly not new to academic socialist circles. It is simply only recently that it has entered the majority consciousness. One can see that intersectional analysis does not conflict with class analysis, but compliments it and allows one better lenses by which to view the various conflicts and struggles in the modern world (or indeed, many of the struggles of the 20th century). See the unity he seeks by adding the lense of intersectionality, and see the error in your assessment that "Intersectional Analysis" is somehow adverse to and conflicts with "Class Analysis", I beg of you.

Agree. It is the norm. All restaurants, the most common places to tip, do this too. If they calculate/print suggested tip amounts they use post tax and also if you trigger a gratuity included they use post tax.

To be far, I think most people use post tax when calculating tip in their head too.
What’s the typical vector dimension/size that this would work well for?

I did something naively like this using array indexes of about length 20 vectors on Cloudant (CouchDB) in order to implement a text similarity search, based on something simple like LDA auto tagging and keyword frequency clustering vectors.

I would query based on input text vectorized the same way, and simply offset each element of that input vector by a fixed small value, using those offsets as start and end keys for a couch view query.

I didn’t test this on larger vectors but have always been curious on how far it could go.

Probably the matching algorithms in this project are more accurate, but this naive method worked pretty well for my use case and on a maintenance free DBaaS.

Would love to hear more about concrete usage examples in this area if anybody likes to share - thanks

Edit - found my slightly more detailed blog post about this http://splatcollision.com/page/fast-vector-similarity-querie...
Thanks for the response. I wasn't annoyed by any means. It's just really confusing and I think sending mixed signals (hence, "what the hell?").

Most need to be sold on what's possible before I can be sold on organization and architecture. If that's not your target audience then I don't think this is a big deal. But if you want to get your hard work out to the masses then show them what's possible and worry about the organization and architecture later :).
Unfortunately this article ignores the reasons that pre-exit liquidity for founders is so important. The average founder of a VC backed startup typically only owns around 10% of the startup at exit, and is actually not even likely to still be there at exit time in many cases.

Between first funding and exit, the startup may go through a cram-down recap that washes out founder equity or at least a highly dilutive down round. This is much more common than the company simply going out of business. Another issue is that VC backed startups often raise too much capital and sell for less than the overhang of the liquidation preference. Noam Wasserman from Harvard Business School studies founder issues and says that 4 of out 5 founding CEOs get fired from their startup. Even if it's half that, it's still a sobering statistic.

When startups sell for less than the liquidation preferences, a carveout is often given to current management to close the deal, but that may not include the founders. Founders also often work for sweat equity for years, and then get paid less as CTO or founding CEO than they would working at as senior engineer at Google (in contrast to many VCs who get multi-million annual salaries from their management fees even if fund performance is poor).

All of the risks above is why the book "The Illusions of Entpreneurship" claims: "Even successful founders usually earn 35% less over 10 years than they would working for others. The typical, median, right-smack-in-the-middle entrepreneur is a failure. You have to hit the top 10% to have income as an entrepreneur better than what you would have gotten working for other people."

The reason that pre-exit liquidity is so important for founders is because the chance of making money AT AN EXIT is so low, and because raising tons of venture capital often reduces the likelihood of a founder profiting from an exit.

Update: I also forgot to say that VCs can usually block a sale, another big risk for founders.

> Cheering for science advancements that are far out of reach for the majority leaves a bitter taste.

Yes. Damn that new fancy tech of farming that only the rich can afford!

Seriously. Think about what you're saying for a second. Tech that is only for the rich becomes affordable for the masses faster and faster every year. Computers were for nation states in my parents life time. Today there are computers more powerful than the first computers in cheap toys.

We cheer for tech that only the rich can use now because it will be for the masses soon. Tech that never exists for the rich, will not exist for anyone ever.

Check your logic.
Interesting that Mark Churchland is the son of the 'neurophilosophers' Patricia and Paul Churchland. I'm not sure about Patricia but Paul was (maybe still is) a strong advocate of eliminative materialism who also discussed geometric representations of mental representation as points in a multidimensional state space over 20 years ago.

Despite being a Rust fan, I do believe that it is in fact harder to use than nearly all languages, despite the valiant effort of the community to make it as easy to use as possible.

Things shouldn’t be ported to Rust willy-nilly, but in its niche (basically: a better C++, because the compiler enforces many of the things you need to keep track of in your head in C++, and also because as many productivity features as are possible without violating “pay-for-what-you-use” too fragrantly are baked in), it can be worth the cost.

I am sure some others will disagree with this, but I think using Rust in domains that Python or Java or Awk or Bash is well-suited to is quite silly. For me, Rust competes with C and C++, and little else.

The author goes a bit overboard with the snark here. Ello has done well out of its early brush with the public consciousness. True, many people arrived and left, but more than a few stuck around.

Ah apologies on the headline. Initially the site was for all recommendations, but I just tweaked it to be more location specific.

So I'm just kind of curious, on the site you would create recommendation lists outside of guides? Currently on how the site is set-up is for lists to exist in a guide, but I'm thinking of breakdown that up.

I'm curious. How can a new employer entering a market drag salaries down, and not just a little?

The article quotes an example in New Jersey, where salaries were $24/hour on average before Amazon set up a new warehouse, $17.50 a while after.

It could happen if Amazon hires a vast number of people at below-market salaries, e.g. if there were 10k people earning an average of $24 and Amazon then hired 30k at $15, then the average would be $17.20. But it seems strange that older warehouses were paying $24 on average if there were 30k employees willing to work for $15. 10k/30k are just made-up numbers for an example, of course, to illustrate the question. What don't I understand?
Today the pricing and services are essentially matched. Someone will obviously fight be on this statement, but I think today they are essentially equal from a cost perspective. They all run SSDs and have similar cost per RAM/CPU core.

But as others have said, Linode was around forever. Digital Ocean came in and disrupted them. When DO first came on the scene then you easily could have switched and got more for your money. But Linode has caught up and matched them. Right now they are both good. I have actually been favoring Linode lately with their new interface. But I have $3,000 or so of Digital Ocean credit that I am trying to use up first.

Unpopular?

The gratuitous breaking of backwards compatibility by IPv6, inflicting staggering inefficiencies felt directly or indirectly by all internet users, should be a canonical case study by now. It should be taught to all engineering students as a cautionary tale: never, ever do this.

>In 2002 Daniel Holz and John Wheeler investigated this idea and ran all the calculations in their paper Retro-MACHOs: Pi in the Sky?

That's one of the best paper names I've come across.

From the introduction:

>The bending power of a black hole is not limited,
however, to small angles but reaches π and odd multiples
of π . Illuminated by a powerful point source of light,
the black hole will therefore shine back with a series of concentric rings (we call this retrolensing).

Does anyone know if this sort of research is on the agenda for the James Webb Space Telescope? Our space imaging has progressed dramatically in the last couple of decades, so it wouldn't surprise me to see many more MACHOs (maybe even Retro-MACHOs!) being discovered, in the same way our understanding of the vast number of galaxies in the universe was increased by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The difference between tech people and banking people are that tech people are trying to build an actual new idea and only secondarily are interested in making money (which often happens as a pleasant side effect).
By now, Gruber has an awful lot invested in Apple. He has managed to carve out a clear niche as a professional Apple opinionator (aside: I have now idea how Gruber makes his living, or whether Daring Fireball generates any income).

Between his firm position as the third-party go-to guy for Apple-related commentary, his inside connections in Cupertino, and the complimentary name-dropping from Steve Jobs himself, Gruber has a lot to lose by burning bridges.

Right now he's an embedded correspondent, but with one wrong move, he could easily end up frozen out like Geraldo Rivera.

Those connections and bona fides render him an interested party, and that interest is going to lead him toward certain opinions and away from others.

I'm not suggesting he never criticizes Apple, by the way. Constructive criticism is, after all, a crucial part of loyalty; and pointing out flaws around the margins lends him a sheen of objectivity that adds verisimilitude to his cheerleading. E.g. Apple needs to be more consistent in how the app approval process is applied (though the process is good in principal).

Thing is nobody complains about Android updates breaking everything (though there are a lot of complaints about updates not happening), because the upgrades are usually well tested (despite having many more hardware platforms). Win8 there was Metro, but I really didn't hear much about Windows being broken.
