I'm in the same situation.

I'd give 500€ away to someone. I have done before on numerous occasions. The problem is not solidarity, it is trust and the human condition. If I give that money to someone, it'll turn into an iPhone or be smoked before something productive is done with it even if it is mandated for education or essentials to get someone out of a hole they are in. People are stupid and irresponsible.
3% is barely less than the mortgage, and it wouldn't be worth the hassle. Also I would never pay down my mortgage early.

Which means I need to find an investment that will have a greater than 3% return. Since I can't really guarantee that, it's not really worth it.

I'd rather not put myself into a situation where I'm that badly underwater.
Is there still a way to gain financially from that legend? e.g. by licensing, or consulting because one of part of the team back then or something?

I ask because usually community-created legends are hosted and develop in forums/mailing list etc, but when people write professional articles about it, it's quite likely someone still invests financially in that story.

To be clear I was speaking in terms of likelihood, not extremes. I personally feel I derive a benefit from identifying myself online, but YMMV.

Also I really hope I didn't give the idea that I think all discourse must be kept PC, or even civil. That'd be a rather sad world to live in.

> Fees are about 3%

If you're paying 3% you're getting ripped off. There is no reason you should be paying more than 1%. In the EU interchange is 0.3% for credit and the scheme fee is less than that.

Maybe if you're doing an unauthorised, interdomain transaction with an imprinter in a brothel then 3% is reasonable.

I have 3 kids. I earn a decent wage but nothing excessive and my wife doesn't work (she looks after the kids). We live in a city, don't own a car and walk or bike most places.

They don't cost that much more if you're willing to be sensible (each kid doesn't need a TV and a games console or even their own bedroom). We're very moderate on how we spend our money - we don't blow thousands at Christmas just to give kids tat they won't play with, we keep clothes and re-use them as the younger kids grow up. We eat at home as a family, don't take extravagant holidays etc etc.
Interesting questions posed, and relevant. Centralizing forces like network effects can be very powerful in technology fields, and they're constantly evolving. We don't have generations of experience to draw predictions from, like traditional manufacturing. Data aggregation advantages seems to be something companies believe in, and are pursing.

From full-autonomy onwards, it is very hard to predict anything. There will still be manufacturers of course, but the manufacturer-consumer structure of the market could completely change. I think there's a decent chance personal ownership will decline.

Removing drivers from ride-services will drive down costs, a lot. Probably enough to change ownership incentives and market dynamics.

If that happens, 2nd order effects will also be big. People act very differently when they pay per-km explicitely, even at reduced rates. Tolls (economists love tolls, btw) become more palatable when rolled into a per km price. There might be fleets of little, light cars servicing city centres.

In this chaotic context, I think it's hard to predict anything about market structure.

I can second this, I started putting just €100/month away and was pleasantly surprised to see it tick over into the €1000 mark very quickly. It's a standing-order at my bank, triggered when any large deposit is made (e.g it fires when my salary is paid).

Now that I reached a milestone (even if I did kill the account from 300->0, 250->0 a couple of times in emergencies) I intend to increase how much I put in there. 10% of my salary is a lot to do without, my wife doesn't work, we have two kids and a mortgage and a (useless expensive) car. But the €100 I simply didn't miss, and the €200, that will get me to the next milestone, when I'll jump to €300, and so on and so on will all soon arrive.
I worry about savings. The inflation vs interest makes it a bad proposition for long term. Short term 6 month buffer zone is good.

Does anyone have any advice in this area? How can I keep the value of my 10% savings in 30 years time with low risk?

I don't want to go to an IFA. They sell me a product.
Let's say for arguments sake, you have a business support agreement and then it comes out in the news that your business (or maybe just a rogue employee) has done something horribly racist or sexist. Maybe not even racist or sexist, but that something that gets blown out of all proportion and so people think what happened was racist or sexist.

The twitter mobs are baying for your blood. Some Employees inside Google might also be baying for your blood.

Will Google decide to end the business support agreement, and would you bet your business on the answer to that question being 'no'?
I agree, hence the "It's also a cultural problem".

There is also the fact that we know the French health care system, the social aids you get if you loose your job, and your family will all come into play for some category of problems.

And there is the gamble for more comfort vs responsibility. My generation really don't want to take any kind of responsibility for anything, including society, the planet and their own life.

But even if you consider that:

- saving 10% of my income will not, in any way, let me live through my retirements. Not at half of my current life style anyway. And I do earn more money that most people.

- those are people in a very comfortable situation. Now take people with children, a loan and a standard job, and you have a much less simple picture.

- most people have been told the story that the retirement system will work, or that we will make it work. Beside, they don't thing 30 years ahead for anything.

- a lot of people won't make rational choices in their life. Taking a loan they should not, making a child they can't afford, getting married with the wrong person... Expecting people to save is already at another level of planning. We failed at educating people, but we also told them it was ok to do what they were doing.

- we have a huge value scale issue here. frugality, quality, solidarity... Those are not the thing that society promotes. Solving the retirement problem is not just an economical issue. When banks are bailed out, medias scream "money and consumption" and Trump rules the most powerful country in the world, convincing somebody to not go for take out is quite hard.

- fixing and cookie are getting a lost art.

- things do cost way more. 10% is a lot for some people.
ok so if we assume that the average life expectancy is 90 years old with equal distribution. 1/3 of Americans are 30 years and younger. Most people saving starting then. Looking at it that way, 1/3 seems like a high number.
Sure, but that hardly means it is wasted.

And perhaps that is true, but hardly the case in the near future.

According to Google:

/pəˈlidəkəl kəˈrek(t)nəs/
noun
the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes,
of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude,
marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially
disadvantaged or discriminated against.

If you think "political correctness" is about not being "offensive", you're missing the point. Calling someone an ass isn't politically incorrect, even though it's (probably) offensive and rude.
The key question is what advantage can a level 4 car can give to an on-demand service(maybe like Via who seems like the cost leader, by succeeding in doing shared on-demanf rides and filling(maybe) small microbuses).

For example, if a driver can rest while such car travels the highway(or a traffic jam), he might agree to a 10% pay cut(Via pays decently today, unlike Uber), and that would be enough to win.

That's a level-4 service with strong network effects and thus nice margins, with time.

As for how that translates to advantage in level-5, that's a complicated question, but a few ideas:

1. Brand and technology advantage due to much more miles.

2. Sharing. Maybe some share of the global transportation demand would continue to be shared.

3. Politics. On-demand shared transportation solves moat of the slowness of public tranaport. Maybe we could also solves the experience part(and easier for 3 person shring than a bus). At that context, dedicating special road lanes for sharing may become politically realistic, and than cars lose on speed.

Same goes for rush fees.

Or maybe, just owning the customer order layer, would be enough to win on optimization of single person cars moving around a city, giving a 10% advantage in trip time , and that would be enough , with time, for a mono/duo-poly.

But even if not and it's a low margin business, there would still be a ton of money to be made.
This blog post made me go back and play the game with my newly-arrived 1080 Ti.

In Full Ultra (every settings cranked up to 11) on my 3440x1440 monitor, this games runs smoothly at 70 FPS. And looks extremely realistic. I can't recommend it highly enough, even just for the sights.

The salt desert and the snowy mountains, the bog, the lush jungles, the sierras, the natural reserve… They all look amazingly realistic.
Note that it's not because the game was designed this way, but because the
Dungeons and Dragons system was designed this way. It's not optimized for
first-time and impatient computer players, but for roleplayers.

Me neither, and I'm Italian. I'll also add that minimum age for retirement is being pushed farther and farther (I probably won't be able to retire until I'm 67 or something like that).
Well, the "scope" pointers, which roughly correspond to Rust's "non-mut" (i.e. non-retargetable) references and are generally the most commonly used pointer/reference type, don't have any run-time overhead. By their nature, as long as they exist, so does their target. You don't need a sophisticated borrow checker to ensure it.

"Mut" (i.e. retargetable) references, on the other hand, do require a borrow checker to ensure, at compile-time, that their target will outlive them. Since SaferCPlusPlus does not have a borrow checker (yet), you'd have to use "registered" pointers, which do have run-time overhead. But in practice, retargetable references are generally much less common than non-retargetable ones (particularly in inner loops), so there tends not to be much effect on performance.

SaferCPlusPlus does not yet have an exact analogy to Send/Sync. But as I understand it, those are basically just indicators that say "Trust me, this object is safe to send to / share with other threads." without any verification of the proclaimed safety. At the moment, SaferCPlusPlus does something functionally similar by providing the "TAsyncSharedObjectThatYouAreSureHasNoUnprotectedMutablesReadWriteAccessRequester" which basically allows you to make the same claim about the safe shareability of the object. (And has an unwieldy name to remind you of the seriousness of the claim.) Basically the rule of thumb is "Don't share any object that contains pointers/references/iterators (or is declared "mutable" in C++) or has any (non-static) member functions that return pointers/references/iterators."

Rust and SaferCPlusPlus maybe take different positions on whether sharing objects between threads should be encouraged with abandon, or done prudently and only as necessary.

Cool, so unions in C and C++ are a kind of sum type because the variable can have one of a set of types. More usually people think of tagged unions when they think of sum types, I believe Pascal's Variant Records are an example of tagged unions.

Clickbait-y title, or at the very least a sensationalist and simplistic interpretation of the data. That 1 in 3 is mostly young people; they have neither the ability to save (due to low wages, student debt, being priced out of the market) nor the incentive (retirement is too far away, perhaps also concerns the stock market is not a safe place). Probably not much trust in the system overall either, given how the older folks seem to keep pulling the levers to maintain things for their own benefit.
If I was only working to accumulate 'stuff', then I wouldn't work at all. Or at least I wouldn't work as many hours as I do.

The sad fact is that if I stop working, I can only survive for maybe six months until I need to start working again. I don't like having to give half of my life over to someone else, but I haven't happened upon a better alternative yet.

I don't think these points are of any relevance. Once you have stage IV autonomy, you can partner with any car manufacturer you want, you have all the leverage.

However, knowledge in cars definitely helps building the technology, since there are so many little variables that you otherwise would oversee.
When I paid-off my mortgage in the UK I was disappointed not to receive the title deeds on paper.

In the past few years the land registry agency here has been encouraging lenders to scan-in old documents and destroy the paper originals, so the only active indication of ownership is a record in a database. They call this 'dematerialisation'.

I can only hope they have an excellent versioning and backup strategy.

> When someone spreads opinions that someone else considers dangerous, a deeply human mechanism kicks in: criticising/shaming/isolating.

Yes. But it's not the way to resolve interpersonal issues in a progressive society.

Do you personally condone this mechanism? (By the way, this bothers me. I sometimes hear an argument in the form: "be careful saying that, otherwise <unspecified people> will come after you, because it's human nature". Often it feels like a subtle warning, where <unspecified people> include the speaker, but without him saying it directly. For example, someone says "we should prevent immigrants coming to the country, because it will stir up racist sentiment"; without explicitly rejecting or affirming their racist beliefs.)

The way to do it properly is to have a rational discussion about why are the opinions in question considered dangerous by someone. Stop and think, where is the danger? And together, look into the merits of that claim. And maybe decide democratically about the best way to proceed.

So I had all this: insulin problems, hypertension, anxiety and other problems.

I can say this is a real problem you should not underestimate.

But I can't agree with the title. I believe the underlying problem is lack of muscle movement. So standing all day will give you the same problems.

Muscles are a glucose buffer working tightly together with insulin. When this buffer doesn't work well your metabolism also doesn't work as expected and you will get all kinds of problems.

Take care of yourself and move as much as possible throughout the day.
That's called the first-mover advantage, and history is littered with examples of companies failing to take advantage of it.

Manheim policy may vary across the world, but here in the UK they're open to private buyers on most lots.

My nearest auction house is Saltash, Plymouth and twice/weekly sales and upwards of 200 vehicles go through the books. It's quite something to see a car brought to the line, bid on and sold in 2 minutes.

Private buyers pay a larger commission per sale compared to bulk buyers, but hammer price is the same.

There's a twice-yearly plate change in the UK also, so in the coming weeks (from Sep 1) there will be a glut of used cars traded as part exchange for new vehicles.
Not really. They are moving the state pension age out but the private pension age stays static at 55. They have also given more freedom on how to use the private pension funds come retirement.

THe idea is to reduce the burden of the state pension. It would be counter productive to do anything counter to that.

However - the left keep wanting to take away higher tax relief on pensions. Which sounds great unless you are a nuclear family where 2 people will rely on one person's pension (like my wife will - we also have other compounding circumstances). If they cut this relief I'll leave the country or go self-employed and play the system, as it will push my marginal tax rate to a stupid rate.
It's not necessarily a problem, but personally for small utilities I much prefer something that supports #!-style scripts, like Guile or Racket, or that can be compiled into small, efficient executables. Let's say it's a matter of personal preference.

I always ask this myself. I think like you said, startups are so mainstream now that the traction bar is higher now. But the problem is that YC also seems to be getting less prestigious. As great as these companies are, I am sorry but I don't believe that 100+ a batch is the same YC as what started a decade ago. YC is now a factor, not a family.
If you can manage to save enough to live on for 6 months at your present level of expenditure you have some kind of insurance against the idiocies of life and employers.

French here.

> It's also a cultural problem: enjoying ourself have been more important that savings.

It looks like the reason you have 0 saving is because you... simply refuse to save money and spend it all on leisure instead? (after necessities are met).

> But there is also another issue: individualism. The thing is, most of us could probably find 500 € to give away. But the solidarity is not strong enough for this effort.

What do you mean by individualism? That one should value individual rights such as freedom of speech, respect of individual property etc? Sounds to me like many freedoms are going away in France and civil liberties are always at risk. On the other hand, collective rights keep expending and these are extremely costly. When it comes to coerced solidarity, France sure is one of the world's champion. It seems to me that the reason you and your friends refuse to give to your friend is not because of too much individualism but because of too much collectivism, you are already paying so much in tax to support these solidarity policies that you are left with little money for your own leisure, let alone for your friends and you feel like you've already paid "your fair share" by outsourcing charity and solidarity to the State. But of course, as usual all problems in France are blamed on individualism and capitalism instead of the elephant in the room: the unfettered collectivism going on.
> If you KNOW someone is wrong, why not debate them? Why go after them personally?

Alternatively, just let them be wrong.
Beware, France retirement is getting frail. Not at all like a $0 as in the US, but many elders have tiny jobs to compensate for a lower than expected sum.
Whether or not it's an early optimization depends on when you add the __builtin_expect, no? Perhaps you already have identified a very hot branch in your code that the compiler fails to treat correctly even though you provided it with profile data.

There is a difference between political correctness and culture.

Every culture has things that must not be said (whether true or not), and they certainly don't have to be offensive. To say them is not politically correct. PC is part of culture.
"The torso was mutilated in an apparent attempt to ensure that decomposition gases passed out of the body, and there was also metal attached to it to make it sink, he added."

I have a hard time believing anyone would commit a murder on a submarine in Denmark. I feel like it's almost impossible to cover that up. But if it was an accident... who mutilates the body like that? If I wanted to cover it up, mutilating the body would be too much for me.

The case is pretty bizarre, although I'm pretty sure law enforcement has it mostly cracked already.
