My laptop (Thinkpad X60) is over 10 years old and still works well for what I use it for. There's even an FSF-approved free BIOS for it.

My desktop is approaching 8 years, and I haven't found it limiting either, only buying more storage for it over time.

I also have a backup server that's nearly 20 years old. All it does is serve disks so it doesn't need to be very fast either.

It really depends on what you do and how you do it. Someone with more hardware demands or just using more bloated software would find systems of my specification unbearably slow, but they'd probably say the same of the very latest today.

Good developers can make way, way more than 160k total comp without much effort in the Bay Area. Not at startups, so if you want to earn lots of money, don’t join a startup.

You have to be good, and work hard, but I know lots and lots and lots of tech workers who are single earners with kids and a house they didn’t buy before the boom.
It would be lying to say the police "will" tell the judge anything the kid says. That's why they use "can".

At several times in this thread (including parent comment) you refer to your service as a "push CDN". You compare it to Fastly in one response.

CDNs have many well-connected points of presence around the globe. They often route traffic through their own global/regional dark fiber networks to decrease latency.

If a Fanout customer buys the self-hosted package, obviously this won't be the case. But is it the case for your cloud service? How many points of presence do you have? Do you have an expansive network that you control, or are you yourself using a cloud provider?

Alternatively, student loans are rediculously high. Every adult I know always pushes college, but had I been given a $100k loan to buy a rental unit at 18, I'd have turned that into $250k by the time I finished 5 years of school.

Not to mention, I could have worked a 9 - 5, $25 / hr job, and bought a second or third...

Perhaps school isn't the best in many cases.

Now I pay $1k a month in student loan payments, on top of everything else. I'm in tech too, so it's not bad - but I can imagine the 95 / 100 who don't get a tech job are struggling

I guess it helps in two ways.

First, if you realize you have a computation that can either return a value or a "special" value that means it failed, you can model this using a Maybe-like data structure.

Second, if in some part of your program you are already using a data structure that is isomorphic to Maybe, you might stand to gain from using the same interface used with the Maybe monad in Haskell (or any other monad), namely 'bind' and 'return', or similar forms.
Agree; in fact I'd go further and say that anxiety is by definition irrational. If it were rational, it would simply be "worry", which is useful. The difference is that in the case of worry, it makes sense to mitigate the external thing that is worrying you, while in the latter it is necessary to address/mitigate the emotions themselves.
It would be highly irresponsible not to do so
If you agreed upon an expectation/consequence of "clothes left on the floor for more than 2 days will be thrown away", you wouldn't be putting up with clutter for very long.

When you are married, that approach fails on a number of fronts.

First, unless you are ultra wealthy, throwing out his clothes will painfully come out of the family budget to replace, especially work clothes, especially if you are a household living on one income -- his -- as we were. Second, replacing them takes time and effort. I was a traditional homemaker, so I handled a lot of his errands. So, I do what? Pick them and put them in the trash can, then go shopping for more, instead of picking them up and putting them in the hamper? Third, it is just bitchy and hostile. This man was my lover. Just being a bitch to him every step of the way was not one of my goals.

You don't create a more loving, caring environment by seeing just how much you can piss on your lover before they decide to file for divorce. He did eventually get what I was saying. It just took an unfortunately long time.

Those also tend to be very large, gaming-oriented, desktop replacement "laptops", so not ideal for everyone looking for something they can actually keep on their lap for any length of time.

A slot machine is known to give a 200% ROI and allow a single pull each day. You play this slot machine every day for 500 days, until you notice it stops rewarding you.

Then someone says: "Look I told you so, I've been telling everyone for 2000 days now: This slot machine will crash one day!". And you say: "Ok. You were right. Guess the party couldn't last forever. Thanks for the warning!". Out of habit you play for 30 more days, but the rewards stay gone, so you exit with some nice profit.

Meanwhile, the other person knew of the existence of a highly profitable slot machine, while it was still profitable, but never actually played it, because they feared that one day it may not be profitable anymore.

Nice! I have been doing some experimentation with running ansible on AWS Lambda for some time now, and now I'm wondering if this wouldn't be even better for that. I had to pin ansible to an old version and do some weird stuff when building the deployment zip, but it does work. I'm not all that tied to my playbooks, and actually would prefer to write in python rather than yaml (incidentally this is the same reason I still like chef's use of ruby so much, even though ansible being agentless is more useful to me)

Seems like this could potentially do the same thing, even faster. Though I admit I have not dived in all that deep yet. Anyone tried it or see anything that would prevent it from running that way?

If not I guess I'll give it a go this weekend.

See Shimon comment. Economists/Traders/Finance guys have this concept that: Every stock/asset/price is equal. It is the volatility that matters.

Traders don't look for "potential growth". In their frame of reference, that potential of growth is already "priced in".

Now if you disagree with that, it is another story.

> The directors of the Federal Reserve, if they had some secret interest in tricking everyone, wouldn't be flatly admitting they consider why inflation isn't hitting targets a "mystery." [2]

So you're saying these people with all the humility required to announce they have solved economic crises for at least a lifetime [1] wouldn't lie or deceive themselves ?

I wouldn't make that point. Seems unlikely that hubris like that would be limited in any way.

Central banks have a long history of ... well, either outright lying or incredible self-deception, including the federal reserve under this chair. [2] No sane person at this point believes the FED's economic predictions.

To make the difference I would put forth this point: finding analyses that defend the point that the US government (and indeed almost all governments with pension obligations) would be bankrupt in 2 year with a 4% funds rate and 6% inflation is easy. In other words, the FEDs predictions, if implemented, would blow up governments, make them bankrupt. Not just the US government (in fact the US government can probably last longer than the EU or Eastern European governments). I agree with that assessment. Maybe they can make it 3-4 years, but certainly no more.

So in order to believe the FED's predictions and stated reasoning are honest (same with ECB) you have to believe that somehow it escaped the attention of these finance industry 4, 5 and 6 decade veterans that this would cause a financial disaster worldwide. I find it hard to believe that these people are this stupid. I also do not believe the FED would destroy the government it's part of.

So I present to you: they are lying. They are lying about their reasoning, they are lying about their models, they are lying about their predictions. I understand why they're lying, but they're still lying.

They are lying about the CPI too. European inflation measures are similar, as they directly influence pension increases, and "surprisingly" they're very low.

I don't speak French, and am curious about this example.

If you have 50 women in a room, do you use the female plural pronoun?

In other words, are you saying that all it takes is one man in the room to make it male plural? Honestly (and I'm no gender theorist) this seems fairly sexist too. It's essentially saying psychologically that the man in the room takes precedence over any number of women.

The fantasy / fallacy that all things are forgivable in life and nothing has permanent consequences is also damaging.

Just had a good friend’s nephew drown in a pool. He had snuck in a backyard pool, skirting past or under the fence. As a parent the whole thing was a nightmare for me to imagine, but I did think about how or if to communicate to my kids that there are things they can do that will have permanent consequences or effects. I do my absolute best to shield and protect them, but I also hope and pray they make the right choice if (when) I fail in that.

I’m not saying that the punishment in that episode was appropriate, but simply that the concept of permanent consequences is a life lesson we all must learn at some point. And it’s incredibly difficult to teach kids.

Parents don't really have to do anything special to earn the trust of their children most of the time. And the point of raising a child should be to raise a person, not a child.

Ironically, I have been in several research heavy departments that have been looking enviously at the teaching-heavy, undergraduate centric departments with steady and predictable funding streams.

Two things to keep in mind:

1. Grants are difficult to get. The pay lines at both the NIH and NSF have been decreasing for quite some time, and even successful departments don't have the feeling of swimming in cash.

2. Overhead rates (the "tithes" you mention) do not necessarily cover the full administrative cost of a research-heavy department (especially things like capital construction).

There are certainly institutions that have built a great deal of monetary success on their research programs, but not as many as one might think. This is why, for example, in my field we're seeing a proliferation of MPH programs - student tuition is a more reliable income stream.

>Correlating government debt (which is primarily owed back to it's citizens) to household debt is extremely disingenuous.

That's false for several reasons. First, government debt impacts citizens directly through higher taxes (income, property, sales, and others), fees, deprivation of services, ect. Second, government debt is not primarily owed back to it's citizens. The biggest holder of government debt is the Federal Reserve, which is a collection of private banks. The vast majority of debt not held by the federal reserve is held by banks, financiers, and the ultra-wealthy. Third, working people and those on fixed incomes are crushed by ZIRP (zero interest rate policy), which has been implemented by the FED in an effort to prevent the mountains of debt load on every governmental level from exploding. What it has done instead is prevented people from saving (since artificially low interest rates that don't match the rise in cost of living mean treasuries and savings accounts lose value) and further inflate the riches of the ultra-wealthy who borrow at 0% and buy stocks.

This doesn't even touch on the fact that millions of people who have worked their whole lives for pensions are about to get the shaft and become destitute when states and municipalities are overcome by their crushing debt and default on their payments.
Nice. Some ideas for the landing page:

- You don't have any use cases. Good technical explanations for sure, but generally people "get" a product better/faster with some examples of what it can do for them (instead of "hybrid reverse proxy" stuff).

- On the surface this seems similar to lot of other real time messaging services. Clear "why this over those" or unique selling points is missing.

- The free cloud plan seems really stingy.. 500 free messages per day is so low that it left negative impression.

But the downside of performing so well is that it is too easy to get distracted by the price and disregard the radical improvements that Bitcoin brings over legacy financial systems...
