For that amount of money, if you want some pretty secure peace of mind I recommend picking up a Trezor - transfer the whole balance to it once you test it/are comfortable with it.

The wishes and actions of the sister somehow don't enter this analysis at all. Reading this, it is not even her hard work and effort that got her education and job - the emphasis is on her parents efforts.

And I mean, they contributed, just like all parents contribute to offsprings success or failure. But, we don't talk about it that way normally - especially people in HN like to frame themselves as self-taught or at least as someone who got where he is due to own effort. I haven't seen a single comment here so far that would put that much emphasis on parents work and that little on geeks agency when talking about highly educated geeks without partner.

Asking "What can we do to make that score a 10" of existing customers is fine as long as you've got it balanced with some other work to help you gauge the thinking of the portions of the market that aren't already sending you a 6 figure annual check. But I bet many companies are lulled into a false sense of security by numerous answers to that sort of question that just request minor improvements to existing functionality. Probably frequently given by people who answered 9 to "would you recommend?" and then migrated to some hip new cloud offering a year later.

>Also what's the problem with accepting cash?

Is this a serious question?

Downsides of cash: loss due to theft, miscounts, counterfeit currency, and misplacement; additional risk; a need for physical security (a place I know of went cash-only when there was two high profile robberies in a period of six months both of times involved employees getting shot); extra hardware (safes, cash drawers); extra/non-automated accounting; countless time wasted counting and recounting; time and effort to make sure there's plenty of change but not too much; loss of interest income from physical cash being held to make change; time and cost wasted on endless amount of physical transport to and from the bank; etc., etc., etc.

I'm not saying there's no upsides of cash and downsides of cards, its certainly a trade off, but don't act like one is objectively better than the other.

>there's are no fees associated

Not directly baked in, but there's is a business cost due to all of the above.

Not only that but people literally spend more money when they pay with card instead of cash. So accepting card may cost you a 3% fee but your sales to cardholders may go up 4%.

Its an interesting thought -

couple thoughts, its assumes a cream rises to the top, such that your mating success will correlate with whether you're smart and industrious

I suspect that there might be a tendency in polygamous societies for there to be a lot of effort put into setting up structural barriers to prevent mating competition from smart and industrious competitors.

Such that you actually weed out a lot of smart/industrious genes.

---------

Its not the case that history doesn't have examples of monogamous societies competing with polygamous societies over the time span of centuries/millennia.

And from a back of the envelope scorekeeping, it doesn't appear that the results are polygamous smart-hard-working-competitive-assholes outcompeting monogamous dolts.
So most prostitution is sex trafficking, it seems.
If you are interested in micro controllers, my recommendation is to get a $20 soldering iron, some lead free solder, flux, breadboard, jumper wires, Wemos D1 mini or Pro, LEDs, resistors, buttons, distance sensors (IR and ultrasonic), temperature and humidity sensors, relays, and some speaker wire. You can get all that from China for about $45. Get 2-3 of the Wemos boards as you’ll likely fry one.

If you are into home automation, look into Sonoff stuff. It uses these chips but comes nicely packaged into several different form factors. You can run open source firmware on them.

Plain Arduino (AVR) boards don’t have a ton of advantage over the ESP8266 and ESP32 chips. So I’d honestly mostly skip them except if you want a ton of GPIO pins or if you want to use the Uno form factor with the shields. Having Wi-Fi is such a huge thing that I think it outweighs the other considerations. Good luck!

I think larger option pool is not equal to larger option pool to 'marry up'. What I have seen is that successful males often execute option of selecting prettier females instead of successful ones.

Are hutongs really all that bad there? When I was in Beijing, they were nice areas typically, albeit they smelled worse because of things like drainage not running as low, but overall it didn't seem terrible and many of them were pretty big areas for local business.

I ask because I always thought Shanghai was more developed pretty much everywhere in comparison to Beijing. I mean, I'm sure the actual commie-blocks were the same (I visited one that was actual nearer to the center of the city and it was ridiculously run-down) but hutongs often consist of people living in houses their grandparents' grandparents once lived in, so they're usually reasonably well kept.
NPS: like Klout for Customer Satisfaction
Thanks for the answer!

So if I'm understanding you correctly then the best thing to do on my end is:

1. Look for a niche in which I have a deep level of expertise.

2. Target only those employers. With evidence of this expertise.

3. When targeting those employers, only seek out the ones that tend to hire people on a short term basis. I.e. project-focused company, like an agency or something along those lines.

Is this a good assessment of the heuristics I should be following?

An obvious solution is rural development, looking to India as an example. The accelerating urban migration in India in the 90s/2000s was not organic: young people were forced to leave their homes because they didn't have job opportunities or enough land to farm, and then older people had to follow for cultural and economic reasons. The ultimate goal is sustainable urban growth, but cities can't immediately handle what this would require. Instead, India has instituted fairly successful rural development programs that are aimed at increasing jobs, improving social safety nets, and empowering women. I think China should seriously consider ramping up similar efforts.

One common interview question I've run across is to write the code for a simple four-function calculator, the kind that you can find for a dollar or two in nearly any convenience store, right next to the pencils and erasers.

Hey, it's all just buttons and a display doing simple things, right? Only it turns out to be a fairly complicated task, with a lot of corner conditions, even when you treat the math library as a given and leave out all the really low-level stuff (button handling, display refresh, etc.).

You're not going to get to a usable calculator by having a casual conversation with a user interface builder.

"Computer, make that button green, um, no ... yellow" is comparatively easy. "Computer, now make that button add the two numbers together" is begging so much of the specification that it's not really programming any more. And if you do go deeper and try to teach the computer about pending operations, number entry and a stack (to handle parenthesis), you're programming again, only with a lousy IDE.
USSR tried to do it to some extent, still Moscow grew from ~1.5mln to 8mln on their watch.

The key was that while theoretically the state wanted it to stop bulging, a huge number of influental state enterprises wanted more workers and wanted them now, and got their way more often than not.

And Russia still deals with millions of people who are spread around evenly across landscape in single-employer towns where there's no longer any jobs. And no economic reason for these towns to have any jobs in the future. Some of these in the far north or Siberia for no apparent reason.

> > When Rich Hickey invented Clojure, he kept the gems of the LISP tradition, but jettison much of the muck. This is why Clojure has first instead of car and rest instead of cdr

> Rich Hickey did not invent 'first' and 'rest'.

Rather than the names 'car' and 'cdr', the "muck" that Rich Hickey jettisoned here was conses as a core language feature. Since Lisp already used first and rest for operating on lists, Clojure borrowed those names, and since Clojure doesn't have conses (in the Lisp sense of the term; Clojure has a cons function, but it just adds elements to sequences rather than constructing pairs), it didn't have any need for car and cdr, which operate on conses.

It reminds me of a section from Kent Pitman's article 'More Than Words, or: Lambda, the Ultimate Political Party':

> Some years ago, when I was first becoming involved with language standards, I did a personal study of languages in the Lisp family to determine whether there was a common core of operators that were present throughout the family with the same name and semantics.

Then after going through several basic operators which differ in behaviour or name across dialects, he concludes:

> I did find that CONS was present in every Lisp I looked at with pretty much the same meaning, but that seemed to be an isolated case
It's not necessarily a "correlation implies causation" fallacy when there is clear and detailed reasoning of how one thing causes the other.

Correlation does not prevent causation either. It's not enough to prove causation, but it's a hint that there could be something linking the two factors in some way. I find the article provides a convincing story of how one factor causes the other.
That's mostly football ultras[0] though. They are usually the lowest common denominator, it's like saying the US has issues with education because there are people who believe that the earth is flat. Besides, I did not say there's no racism in Europe, I said it's not institutionalized.

I should also add that discrimination in European countries is based more along ethnic and nationalistic lines, not race or color the way it's in the US. While in the US people are categorized by their "race" (black, white, asian, middle eastern, etc), in Europe they are categorized by their country or geographical area of origin (Polish, Italian, French, English, Eastern European, Western European, etc). A black English guy is not primarily "black", he is primarily English.

You have to look deeper into the phenomenon. I'm not talking about the illegal practices and poor quality, I'm talking about the fact that these practices often lead to lower cost and accidental innovations due to disregarding IP laws.

I think it's fascinating how certain types of products have been targeted for counterfeiting and how far they have spread. When you look at the ever downward pressure on price (and often, inadvertently quality) demanded by customers, I think it might lead to the conditions supporting these practices.

It's definitely a think outside of the box type of exercise, but, look at open source and compare for a minute. Of course there is a huge differences, but I think the things the comparison highlights are of interest to question.
Moreover, you have stuff like password managers going though the clipboard.

Relying on all tools correctly identifying their sensitive datasets and protecting them though mlock() is doomed to fail. If anything, a proper security concept should whitelist insensitive datasets, instead of blacklisting sensitive datasets.

I don't get why any modern OS would use unencrypted SWAP. The default should be either encrypted SWAP, or no SWAP at all. The downsides are negligible compared to the upsides.

Much like weight lifting, following this book will give you specific memorisation techniques which can be useful, but also results in a general strengthening of memory, even when you don't use any of the exact techniques).
It also strengthens your ability to imagine things, and hold those images or arrangements in your head, which is useful for applying mental models you've learnt.

Not the best, and I only really use the first one in the book (Eisenhower Matrix), but I found that alone to be worth the price (you could just google that one though). The rest of it is useful as examples of the wide variety of model types and types of things that can be modelled.

Thinking in Systems: A Primer, is a great book that I highly recommend. It's one of those books that serves as a great introduction to the subject of creating models of systems, and it's neither too long, nor overly specific on any particular subject. By the end of it, you'll know roughly enough to be able to know what you want to know next, in regards to system models.

I think I prefer this as well. I think the importance of the mnemonic aspect can’t be overstated.. even though I did get _used_ to CAR and CDR, I feel like I was never immediately able to comprehend code that used them.. I had to always perform a mental translation as if I were somewhat bad at French or something and didn’t intuitively know the words.

It’s the same thing when I see test code that uses foo, bar, and baz as variables / strings instead of something more memorable like apple, banana, and cherry (or preferably something even more relevant to the code being tested). I feel like I have to work harder to understand what the tests are actually testing when I don’t have a good mental association with the variables under test. I get that it’s something programmers just do, but I’m really not a fan.

Maybe I’m an odd one though.
Lower intelligence is a limiting factor when it comes to education, employment, and economic success but IQ has nothing to do with dignity, friendliness, compassion, honesty and a host of other positive human attributes.

Gatto may have cherry-picked to enhance his argument, I can't say, but if so it's severable - even the principal alone, even in unadjusted 2017 dollars, would be enough to make a solid start in life, whichever route one chose, so I think it's fair to consider that his point still stands.
In terms of gaining/maintaining a holistic understanding of a given market and the competitive opportunities within it, I fully agree with your point that understanding the needs of one's existing customers is necessary, but not remotely sufficient.

That broader context is outside the scope of the work I usually do, though -- I'm usually focusing much more specifically on understanding the strength of existing customer franchises.

Certainly, two customers who give 9-out-of-10 scores might have very different levels of satisfaction. Sometimes it's a 9 because "I love the product and the customer service is great but on principle perfection is impossible and I don't give 10s" and sometimes it's a 9 because "the product is pretty good and does everything we need, but our main sales rep is really hard to get ahold of". This is why, in practice, I find that more insight comes out of the "why not 10" questions than the pure NPS number.
