> But have a budget. Spend 100% is IMO a bad advice

Fully agree with this and everything above. However, ...

> I also do not recommend invest in stock market

> Instead I would save up enough money, buy a house. Owning a land or an apartment will do you far better in the long run. Buy some gold when you have spare.

Isn't this advice contradictory?

The goal is to reduce risk, isn't it?

Then buying a house is very risky. If it is old, reparation costs are impossible to predict. If it is new, you have to watch over a building site which can easily blow its initial budget, both in time and money.

Same for buying gold. Nowadays the gold price is almost decoupled from its material value. This is mostly circle speculating with how other people will perceive the value of gold in the future.

Of course buying individual stocks is much more risky than either houses or gold, but that's what index funds are for, aren't they?
What if there's a reason why its bubble bursts? Perhaps a single party manages to have >51% hash power for a long time.
Or Bitcoin exchanges get outlawed in several important countries.
Or fees keep rising to $50 or higher per transaction.

These developments could make Bitcoin (mostly) unusable and thus worthless. Would you still buy more?
my only point is that however you interpret the article, pivoting your response towards mocking conspiracy theorists speaks more towards a personal peeve than an objective analysis of the documents. at best it's almost irrelevant. at worst it's ironic.
My point is that this operation or similar ones are bad and the citizens should condemn them and not try to minimize the importance. As a citizen I would also disagree with my government to start a war and send my family members to die for false motives and for political reasons.
That opinion piece is titled "If Milo Yiannopoulos has huge support in Australia, men must call him out".

I wasn't aware of the article before your post, but now that I've read it, I don't see anything controversial (much less "atrocious") in it. Care to elaborate?

> I think this is really great but IMHO college is too late for this. Personal finance should be taught in middle and high schools just like health classes.

That's all well and good, but it won't really help if the students have no real income to practice with. Sure you can warn them of going into debt, but on the other side of the coin "This is what you should do if you theoretically had a salary" is less effective than "So you have a salary. Here's what you can do with it"
If you are one of those people who pride themselves on nuance, this is the time for it. Is everything that happens in the world a false flag? No, I seriously doubt it. Crazy people and evil people exist and do crazy and evil things rather distressingly often.

On the other hand, is being concerned about false flags intrinsically just being a nutter? Equally unlikely to be realistic. First, we do have historical evidence that it is a thing that has happened before, and second, it's not like it's that crazy an idea. Follow the money & benefits, and there's an awful lot of people today and historically that would have an awful lot of motivations to pull one off.

If you think everything is a false flag, you're too paranoid. If you think false flags never happen, or at least that it's impossible anyone would pull one on you, first, you're too trusting. Second, that very trust ironically increases the chances that someone will consider it a risk worth taking. False flags work best when the very idea that something would be a false flag is easily pooh-poohed and dismissed. Dismissing them out of hand is not a great strategy, IMHO.

The fact that there's an internet competition to be the first to declare something a false flag is simply meaningless. There's an internet competition to be the first to declare a movie a disaster, the first to declare that a game is a disaster, the first to declare that someone's Ask HN project is worthless... it's all just irrelevant noise, not evidence of anything in any direction.
Perhaps one where you do bootstraping ?

And you get to see the effects of random life events. You get cancer, you are laid off, you sell your startup, etc.
I’m guessing, but I have to imagine production volume has something to do with it. Little e-reader screens for cheap devices like the 6” kindle are where the volume is.

In any case, I’m kind of bummed that the e-ink/ereader market has sort of settled on the current state of affairs.

What I’d really like to see is good e-ink laptops. First, because of battery life. I also think they could be great “focus machines.” A laptop you can use to write, code, read emails and maybe articles but without the full blown “multimedia PC experience” we were sold back in the early 90s.

A little “kindle PC” designed for writers as the canonical user could be a great contribution, and right up amazon’s alley. Way more interesting than the kindle-fire stuff. I guess content for kindle fire looks like a juicier market, but… no one is making e-ink laptops! We have plenty of app stores, music services and online video stores.

On the reader front, I was really hoping amazon would do more to change the business of publishing. When magazines or paperbacks became mass market, publishing changed. The type of stuff that got published changed. e-readers, a lot less.

Amazon seemed to be focused on making big publishers happy, and they were focused on keeping the industry’s structure intact. I wanted more of a shake-up.

Publishing could be more democratic. The writer-reader relationship could be more disintermediated. We could have more short stories by authors in their prime, maybe as trailers for novels. We could have more short/concise nonfiction, without the need to fill out a “whole book.” Some parts of journalism could have been changed. I know of no better platform for “micro payments” to writers than kindle's…. It feels like they left the job half done.

So, I’m with you on big readers. I’ll raise you one laptop and a small-to-medium publishing revolution.

Norvig's notebooks are my favorite resource for code reading. He has so much of them, written is such a nice, clean, clever but yet understandable and readable way, it's always a pleasure and amazing learning experience to go through them.

For example, going through his notebook for code advent (the first linked) [1].

I think that most media outlets make a wrong assumption about online content. They think that everybody wants content that's free above all else, so they swamp their content with ads.

But I think it's more that people want diversity. I'll happily support news outlets financially, but at $300/yr for Globe&Mail and $260/yr for NYTimes, etc, the cost is just ridiculous.

I WANT to support good journalism, but I want to pay a set price and have it be divided by my actual consumption. If I subscribe to two newspapers my consumption doesn't double, so I don't want to pay double.

The salable entity in the internet era shouldn't be a subscription to a newspaper, it should be an article.
Also before tablets and ubiquitous laptops, but after PowerPoint hit: whenever I had the opportunity to have slide printouts ahead of time, they were a surprisingly nice scribble sink (many slides per page, not a big stack). Those short bursts of details, questions or clarifications both from the talk and from thinking while listening that would be useless riddles without the context provided by the rough timeline of the slide deck. These won't magically turn lectures into the hours that make you pass a test (where did people ever get that expectation?), but unlike many other forms note-taking they do increase the value of the "on topic entertainment" provided by a lecture.

In the time you're crystallizing the knowledge in your head by writing down notes, you're missing information from the lecture. Note-taking is great when you're in front of a textbook.

It would be prudent to point out that not going to university when you are 19 isn't as much of a life-altering decision in Sweden as it is elsewhere; many choose to attend university later (when they've worked for a couple of years or when they have kids), and it's still possible to get into the top universities.

Those models have shown to be consistently wrong. Just quoting other parts of that article:

> Russell Seitz, Associate of the Harvard University Center for International Affairs, argues that the winter models' assumptions give results which the researchers want to achieve and is a case of "worst-case analysis run amok".[180] In September 1986 Seitz published "Siberian fire as 'nuclear winter' guide" in the journal Nature in which he investigated the 1915 Siberian fire which started in the early summer months and was caused by the worst drought in the region's recorded history. The fire ultimately devastated the region burning the world's largest boreal forest, the size of Germany. While approximately 8 ˚C of daytime summer cooling occurred under the smoke clouds during the weeks of burning, no increase in potentially devastating agricultural night frosts occurred.

I too find some of the Guardian's columnists truly exasperating. However, isn't it important that they be given space to voice their opinions? Very occasionally, they give me pause for thought, and that's important. We've seen what happens (Trump, Brexit, etc.) when large sections of society retreat to personalised echo chambers.
> Medical research has advanced a lot with the invention of CRISPR.

You are overestimating the importance of CRISPR. Don’t get me wrong — it is hugely important and innovative. But it’s not even the most important biomedical research innovation of recent years (I’d give that title to RNA-seq or more generally next-gen sequencing technology; but there are several contenders).

But at any rate all the innovations you list are — at least partly — driven by fundamental research in the public sector, not private companies.

I think this is something that should really be reflected in your systems overriding architecture...

A 100% tested persistent ignorant Domain library is A Good Thing. But your Infrastructure library, or your build scripts, or things that only really make sense as integration tests? Only as much as makes sense.

While it's an individual heuristic: if I can see myself arguing for more than 30 minutes why it's meaningless to test something then I have no problem letting it slide ;)
There isn't a single left-winger I know who thinks the Guardian isn't mostly garbage. They are filled with Blairites, have long hated Corbyn, barely covered Sanders in their US edition and openly libel even moderately left-wing intellectuals before they are forced to retract their articles after their egregious reporting is pointed out.(eg: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/mar/23/noam-c... and https://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/nov/17/pressandpublis...)

The Guardian is for the most part the paper of liberals and Hillary Clinton fans.
The 'FROM scratch' with a single binary pattern is something I use a lot with stowage.org : basically, I can create series of containers that allow other developers to easily install and update dev-environment / build tool chain without having to do a bunch of packaging.

That said, I definitely agree that you don't want to do 'FROM scratch' unless you're definitely not re-using the various upper layers. Having a fat base image is a one-time cost that potentially pays itself back many times over.
GPL Enforcement – Google's Committment
Exactly my point. They can design an electric car just fine, they can produce an electric car sans battery just fine, they can sell them just fine.

They can't setup scale-up battery production sites within years. That's why serious competition from traditional car manufacturers won't happen anytime before 2022.

Chinese producers are a different story. They have the government behind them for resourcing (Lithium and Cobalt). I see Chinese manufacturers as the most serious possible competition. However, it's not unlikely the government will not allow exporting of electric vehicles on a mass scale since they will want to use them theirselves.

In fact I quit my job when I found it sucked and just did my own thing. Same with Facebook. I see your arguments but I don't think they are valid. If you want to. There is always a way. Obviously you simply don't want to.

I also don't miss events or pictures. Facebook is not everything. Never was. There is this thing called communication which works pretty well when you quit facebook
Hi, this really needs a REST API.

Most secrets are injected in real time at the startup of of a container. For tools like this or plugins in k8 / docker to access your store you should support this. It's really bad practice to create a hard dependency on your secrets store by using the Java sdk directly in your application. If that's not the intent definitely provide a Golang sdk for proper plugin integration.

Can you explain how secrets are injected now?
Maybe it is, but I'm sure that in my case, they enjoy the extra time they spend communicating with me.

My experience is that the bad professors are almost always the ones to ban laptops. Students pay attention to engaging professors and use their laptops for notes, and those good professors aren't phased by the laptops and rarely ban them.

But When students listen out of one ear and spend the rest of the class processing email, it's almost always an indication that the lecture is poor. That's what I've seen over and over in 7 years of post secondary classes. I don't know much about the professor in the article, but I would suspect improving his lectures will be more effective in helping students learn than banning laptops.
They’re is an import quota on formula. You can import a small amount for a few days use. Anything greater is regarded as smuggling.
It was a hard problem, and that's what makes it an effective PR stunt.

Google was working on machine learning for some practical application like image classification, better targeted ads or whatever thing Google does. A bunch of people then came up with the idea: "hey, we have all that AI stuff, we may be able to use it for computer go". And Google replied with "OK, sounds like good publicity, here is a budget, we also have a bunch of servers and if you need help, feel free to ask our machine learning department".

It is like making an industrial robot that can crush concrete blocks or whatever difficult but not that useful task. Maybe it is a huge deal because all previous attempts failed, but the point here is not that years of research in concrete crushing robots have payed out, but rather that recent advancement in practical engineering made it possible, and maybe even easy.
I met a professor who acknowledged hammering the class with fast-paced talk to purposely frustrate note-takers.

His purpose: 'If you want to pass my exam, don't miss a class. Getting notes from others would let you "cheat"'

What kind of equipment are they using for this? Is this something that is affordable for testing out? I was thinking of trying something like this at my cabin.
Behavior determines successful outcomes far more than circumstances.

Saving $5.5k in an IRA every year for 40 years earning 7% ARR is a retirement nest egg of $1.1M dollars.

Median family income is $60k, making this 9% of the budget. Even if you earned say... $25k/yr ($12 per hour) for your entire life, you can afford to save $5.5k per year.

There is zero excuse for most people not emerging a millionaire at retirement.
I was taught budgeting and basic finances in both middle and high school (I went to public school in NJ) and whatever I learned evaporated immediately because I had next to no use for it at the time. College (when people are getting more independence than they’ve had previously) is a much better time to teach people these skills.

In general, I chafe at the types of educational arguments that go “we should teach kids more useful skills, like how to file a tax return!”. I think such arguments would benefit from the knowledge that some students are already being taught this, and need to relearn it when they get out into the work force anyway.
I set up an OpenVPN server on DigitalOcean from scratch and it wasn't nearly as easy to use as I expected. Connecting from ubuntu meant connections would randomly hang and I'd have to restart the client and iPhone didn't work out without some third party app. Honestly if I weren't in Ukraine I would have given up completely, but paranoia is justified in Kiev.
It's a possibility, have you tried taking a few years off and testing the other methods you have in mind?

Read "War is a racket". Then you'll understand how we've bread these types of people.
Completely agree. One time I faced a laptop ban and purchased a tiny tripod to take steady pictures in dim light of what the professor was writing on the board. For many of us it's mentally taxing to write with pen and paper what the professor is saying, banning technology is not the best way to get students to learn.
Some men feel weirdly threatened by the possibility of a world where their less than stellar behaviour towards women might be called out. Every comment like the one you're replying to is the same "I loved X until they lost all credibility and became biased by Y" where Y = calling out shitty MRA/Alt-right activist figures.
Because when you've got one big savings account it is a lot easier to look at it and say "Oh! I can afford a new car now!" and cash out your entire savings on one thing without taking the other things into account.

Having different accounts for different goals keeps a clean separation of concerns. When your car account has enough to buy a car then you can buy it and know you aren't taking away from what you have planned for your kid's college education. If you decide to take money from one account to pay for something else you have to actually think about what you are doing and are more aware of the trade offs.
I mean believing that there's a scientific concept that corresponds to the pre-genetics concept of "race".

These "race realists" claim they have a good way to scientifically measure IQ, and that IQ is really important and then propose solutions that don't involve measuring IQ, but rather looking at people's skin color.

It's a somewhat transparent bait and switch (or mott and bailey).
I took notes in college in org-mode on a little eeepc and graduated summa. Instead of banning laptops to cater to the least common denominator, why not just tell the kids not to surf the web during lectures? Have the TA sit in the back of the class or make a video recording from the back if it's a problem.

It's hard not to imagine that the ones who surf the net on their laptops are the same ones who would be busy doodling in their notebooks otherwise.

And I'm not too sure about the study they cite that claims that other people are distracted. The assumption seems to be that people using laptops are ipso facto on Youtube and Twitter all the time. And the questionnaires they gave the test subjects beforehand practically begged them to be distracted during the test.
Honestly if you’re a Stanford engineer those things aren’t mutually exclusive. You can take big risks and stash some cash.

Even in the Bay Area when I was getting paid $120k with a lot of stock and supporting a family I could still put away $2k/month. (Granted, that was after student loans and all other debt were gone).
