It’s been rumoured AMD might increase Zen’s CCX core count by 150% to be 6 instead of 4, so maybe we’ll see 6-core laptops from AMD in a while.
Another habit that rich people have over "poor" people is that they invest in assets and not liabilities, and their ability to categorise investments into these two buckets. An asset as in something that contributes to your net value vs a liability that deducts from your net value.

I've been using YNAB to solve my personal finance problems and it's been the best solution to my problem. Doing zero-based budgeting (you only budget money you have) is a superior approach to the traditional budgeting where you set it once. The only three things I need in YNAB to make sure my personal finance in check is:

- Giving every dollar a job

- Making sure my net value increases each month

- Making sure the money I spend is as "old" as possible

Tracking my assets and seeing what part of my mortgage goes out the window (the interest) and how some of my funds move from my bank account to my apartment each month changed how I understand the flow of money.

I know this might sound like a commercial, but I've come from a situation of having a hard time handling my money to being fairly financially literate in my personal life.

This is not at all like what the parent post implied. You're basically saying to pick sectors/companies that will net a slightly better than market rate of return on average. Which is great. However, this is very far from a 10000x return on true outliers, long shots, and market bubbles.

'Upset' and 'not thrilled' are interchangeable in my lexicon. Didn't mean to convey hyperbole.

It's generally understood that employees have all the rules you mention. I have been a contractor for 20 years and I have all those rules as well. So when does a consultant become an employee? Is it when I'm a 1099 or a W2 in the eyes of the IRS?

The difference is in the initial negotiation; the benefits and a promise of future work for employees, but no such commitment for consultants. It's negotiated up front and must be renegotiated by both parties for any change. If I'm hired as a consultant, I don't get to claim I'm an employee later on because they worked me too hard. I have been worked too hard, but I know the rules, I made it through what ever the commitment I made, then either renegotiated or fired the client. That's what consultants have to do every day.

You are looking at this from the wrong perspective.

You are assuming there is someone (other humans) who are feeding you.

The point of UBI is that it's built on a realization that technology itself is feeding you. In the end, there isn't going to be any single owners because everything is better solved by the technology we are all going to be owning the means of production so to speak.

The post-scarcity society is where all basic needs are met.

If each person has their own machine you are kind of back to the same problem you have now. Who gets to use what resources?

Amazon owns Twitch and presented the Twitch Launcher not too long ago, which is basically a Steam competitor. Game engines are probably gonna be given for free to devs to build games specifically on this platform.
the US also didn't have any history (as US) before 1942 or so

That is incorrect. US history begins in 1776, with the Declaration of Independence. And before it was a federation of States, people had been there homesteading when the territory was an English colony.

the US had slaves long after European countries had abolished that practice

That is also incorrect. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833 due to the efforts of Wilberforce, et al. The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1865. That's a little over 30 years, hardly a "long time" even for a country less than a century old. That's not even one full generation.

I dunno man, I think I'll take US "uptightness" any day over the English version of "uptight." And I say that as someone whose grandparents were British subjects!
Questions like this rooted in reality have no place here.

Unfortunately, the opinions of a sitting US president on any given issue has relevance not just for the US, but for the world as well. As long as that remains true, status-quo being Trump is a concern for everyone.
George W Bush should be trialed in front of the International Criminal Court, if that court wants to remain relevant.

We are similar and I studied math as well.

I solved this problem by just buying a friend coffee regularly in exchange for notes. She used to take fantastic notes and they were probably the reason I even excelled in a lot of classes. However, there was no substitute for being deeply engrossed in whatever the lecturer was saying. My only regret is not having figured this out sooner.

"Love" affair is a bit of a misnomer. Munich forked most of their userland software in '03 and were surprised to find out that handling so much software maintenance on their own is a) expensive and b) leads to poor results.

IMO, LiMux was always doomed to fail, and it's a testament to the slowness of public institutions that it took this long to realize their mistake.

If the same project was undertaken now, with the lessons learned (no goddamn forks of entire desktop environments just because Janice in accounting wants her buttons in a different order!) it would give much better results.
That assumes a state of medical knowledge that is, I think, more advanced than the one we have in reality.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, we're essentially talking about priming. Subliminal advertising and subliminal persuasion is bunk, but spreading activation & other more subtle effects of priming are legitimate.

There's literally a whole section in this talking about how media depictions of the effects of priming are based on shoddy mid-century junk science. The article's premise does not rely upon such imaginary effects.
>Not sure the government should be involved. Not because basic research ain't great---in an ideal world we'd all get ponies from the government---but because budgets are finite and there are other opportunities some of them with more definite benefits.

Budgets are finite, but currently, the state leaves both money and economic legibility on the table. The simple system should be: if you build and commercialize technology based on a public research grant, the state owns the patent and can set a fixed licensing rate proportional to the amount of the original grant funding. The state then splits the royalties, with you the developer taking most of them, but some large portion poured back into public research budgets (including from money you make off the patent). As your patent term expires, it begins costing you progressively larger portions of royalties and revenues to renew it.

Eventually, the knowledge you documented to get the patent becomes public domain, or the state basically takes all the revenue from renewed patents.

This doesn't just make money for the public research system, it guarantees legible terms to prospective licensees and rules out patent trolling wholesale.

I read Cthulu_'s comment as stating that the emotion in the parent comment was one of the reasons we can go to war.

> It is just terrible to know that people like this exist.

Whether you're a communist, a capitalist or some other divisive label, you have to feel that way about some other group of people before you can go to war with them.

Not saying I totally agree with this stance, just offering my interpretation of his comment - hopefully Cthulu_ will tell me if I'm putting words in their mouth :)
This is dismissive. I don't foresee any valid contingency scenario that validates a "false flag," the fact that individuals in the government would think this way only gives credence to the most cynical out there.

Sure they didn't do it, but that they felt they had the authority to consider it (in a democracy, where they answer to us) speaks volumes.
It also sounds like she's cramming a lot of coding-related stuff into each day. Her photo is even captioned to the effect of "Look, you can meditate while coding, too! ^_^" It's a fairly typical, 19-year-old enthusiastic coder attitude, but it's a fast path to burnout if you're not careful. Meditation helps but you have to seek balance in the large, too.

Yes, there’s a German platform that did this fairly successfully: Krautreporter [1] (the article mentions that they were in turn inspired by a Dutch magazine).

I see, I thought you didn't study CS because you knew enough of it where it wouldn't bring value but I was mistaken. Thanks for the clarification.
I'm seconding the point about educating hn readers. If you're an expert in the area please correct any misconceptions you see. It might feel like a losing battle, but it's not.

HN readers aren't sheep. We're more than capable of skimming past light-on-fact comment to get to the good ones.
I have no doubt that we as a species today would still happily line up for this kind of awesomely stupid spectacle, most of us with our smartphones out. The difference from 1896 is we have enough regulations to prevent such a thing.

Another fun detail from the event's aftermath that likely wouldn't happen today:

> Crush was immediately fired from the Katy railroad. In light of a lack of negative publicity, however, he was rehired the next day.

http://www.wacohistory.org/items/show/70

I think I'll bookmark this article for the times when people complain about how much dumber and shallower we are compared to folks from the olden days:

> Two people died and at least six other people were seriously injured by flying debris, including a Waco photojournalist, Jarvis Deane, who lost an eye. While the railway moved in quickly to remove the larger wreckage, souvenir hunters swarmed over the site, carrying off most of the remains despite burning their hands on the shrapnel.

The decline is overstated. International goodwill was at a very high point with Obama's election (Nobel, anyone). There's still nobody that can compete on the US's scale. There's a reason Macron wants to empower and streamline the EU (besides his power fantasies). Russia is a stagnant and isolated state, China has major ongoing issues with poverty and environmental degradation. China can't wage a war with the US outside of China itself.

It's good that the "empire" is in decline, but a focus on the present misses the fact that world powers go through long cycles of decay and rebirth. The British lost the US in 1783 (pretty major loss), but by 1922 was at its greatest extent.

It takes one election or world event to turn things around.

I think the answer is that none of the big companies want to be completely left behind when it comes to the big three technologies (AR / VR / AI). Even though they don't have any big VR or AR hardware this is a way to say they're investing in the space and carving out a niche. They see these engines as a way to sell AWS offerings. One area being servers for games, another being bots and AI and a third being hosting for immersive media. Some immersive technologies will have huge requirements in terms of bandwidth (for instance, offering high def 360 video with lightfields or depth information). They haven't come to fruition yet, but in a decade, who knows?

You clearly don't understand core Unix philosophy[1]. It's this that drives commands like man, that have been around since 3rd edition Unix.

You're failing to understand who the main users of Unix were (Bell, a telecoms company. Academics didn't start using Unix in anger until the late 70s, by which point Unix had been established for about 3-7 years within AT&T/Bell depending on whether you count Berkeley and Illinois's initial use as academia, or it's more widespread adoption following the release of the BSD distribution and V7/V32).

Before you start complaining about man pages, consider that in order to access them on your shiny new computer that it simulates a 1970s era virtual terminal, which itself emulates an advanced 1960s era teletype terminal to display it.

The problem isn't man pages. They do their job generally well. The problem is that you want man pages to do something they aren't designed for, and will not change to. Use /usr/share/docs or info instead. That's what these things are there for.

I have been using a 4K 40" TV as a monitor for maybe two years now, it's great! Windows tiling managers work really well on a large monitor. I keep thinking a curved TV would be better suited though.

Also, don't forget to turn on a possible 'gaming mode' (on the TV) which significantly improves the input lag.

Sorry, what's your point? People do have many unpredictable expenses. But managing the ones you can (like food costs, and bills, and housing costs) does a lot to reduce your monthly spending, which is half of the equation.
That's the thing - there's no "comprehensive and conclusive" answer to these arguments, just a never-ending parade of the same discussions repeated ad infinitum.

As for breaking the cryptography, it's been nearly 10 years now, with all the code in the public domain and massive incentives to find a flaw.

That's why some people call Bitcoin "anti-fragile" since it seems to get stronger the more it's attacked.

But of course it's theoretically possible that the NSA / GCHQ / FAPSI will (or has already) broken the cryptography. What happens then? Do miners stop until the flaw is fixed? Do they roll back to before the compromise? Does the blockchain fork into a new, fixed coin?

I guess that's the beauty of financial assets defined by open-source software. Bugs and exploits happen, they get fixed, and we move ahead on a new version.
Don't opinion pieces work like that?

The GPL is a nightmare for Legal. Compliance can be difficult for larger corporations and as such expensive. Thusly corporations will avoid it in favor of licenses which aren't complicated. This goes doubly for the AGPL.

In addition to that and as a side note; The GPL does not protect against EEE, only against EEE through a fork of the source code. No license can do anything about EEE through standards.

Idk how fair that comparison is... The specs will be way better than anything consumer grade in the 80s. These would also be general purpose PCs, in the same sense that a phone is. They'd just be built with certain use cases in mind, like phones.

I think your first point on ereaders being a sufficient platform for iteration and working out kinks is accurate though. Scrolling and mousing we can work around. Typing, no. If the refresh is not fast enough for a nice typing experience... there is no workaround for that.

I still hope someone will make this. I really want one.
I've been commenting on here for almost 10 years. I've been wrong sometimes, but I've called a lot right (from Tesla, Apple, Facebook, Bitcoin, AI).

Next decade is going to be cyber security and a word that I doesn't exist yet that I think of as "personification" of the internet. Combination of webs of trust and machine learning to both shape tastes and politics and harden networks from their shaping. Also, I think there is a pretty good chance that biology takes off, starting with GATACA or something like it for dogs. People want old scratch to live forever and not get hip dysplasia, and once old doggo is doing fine with Gene Drive then we're not going to be far off. Also, people are much more comfortable thinking with graphs of data. Think about tying together graphs that we can use to make predictions and watch companies like meta.com (bought by Zuck, that guy is a genius) and researchgate.net.

Also get ready for mass protests and "eat the rich" politics. Especially in America where the poor are poorly educated and the political system is corrupt enough to be evil enough to not support the poor, but not corrupt enough to collapse the private sector.
> The AWS Media Services doesn't have the metadata infrastructure for that. You'd have to custom build a lot of extra code on top of it for a video training website.

I've done some PHP development and I understand why it's so reviled. There seems to be a fairly huge gap between beginner difficulty and expert development. The greatest issue for me was the lack of a stack trace. Working on a feature would require editing some code, refreshing the page, seeing if it broke the website, rinse and repeat. The biggest reason I see for using PHP is to do wordpress development and even Matt Mullenweg himself has said it's time to "learn javascript deeply".
I’m all for crisp text however I can get it and avoiding any eye strain and squinting. I’ve got a AW3418DW 34” ultrawide to avoid needing two monitors with a bezel in the middle, and I also use a 24” 4K in portrait mode on the side for reference material (IPS because viewing angle matters when you go into portrait mode). Ergonomics and good habits matters a lot more beyond this point though.

My rule has historically been to spend more on the peripherals like chairs, desk, etc. than a computer because my body is a lot more expensive than my computer and accommodating my body’s needs comes first. With that said, I use a $60 medical stool per spine surgeon’s recommendation and I have a $80 IKEA desk to support $6000 of hardware because I don’t get much more utility beyond a certain point and because I move so frequently a heavy desk would be a bigger problem for me than helpful.
