In many ways I'd say it was my time as a volunteer firefighter. I spent about a decade (basically 1992-2002) volunteering with Civietown VFD and/or Supply VFD in Brunswick County, NC, and with New Hope VFD in Orange County, NC.

Over the course of that time I held every position from "probie" to acting Fire Chief, responded to hundreds (maybe thousands, not sure) of calls ranging from motor vehicle accidents, to brush fires, structure fires, medical emergencies, and WAY too many false automatic alarm activations - plus an array of miscellaneous calls. I had the opportunity to become an NC Fire & Rescue Comission certified Instructor with qualifications to teach Firefighter I & II certification classes, LP Gas Firefighting, and Incident Command. I was almost killed (or at least badly injured) on a few occasions - once when the brakes went out on an engine I was driving while responding to a call, and a couple of near misses with flashovers while doing interior attacks.

There were some crazy adventures in there, some really good days, some not so good days, but I've always loved the fire service and I don't regret any of the time I spent doing that stuff, even though there was zero financial reward for it. And more importantly, I'd like to think we were able to help some people here and there. Out there, somewhere, is a family that is living in their home today, because of the job we did.

Years later I wrote a Quora answer that become my highest upvoted answer and eventually wound up being published on Forbes.com. Anybody interested in fire fighting and fire engines might find this interesting.

A look at terminal emulators, part 2
From its foundation, from the beginning, Mark's university were working on plans to launch an online version of what they called -- facebooks -- however they were slower to launch because they had concerns, concerns for student privacy and the like; http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2004/2/9/hundreds-register...

In contrast, Mark purposely lied to mislead the brothers who hired him for UConnect so he could launch Facebook before they could launch, he used the name and concept of facebooks from his university and skipped the whole process of caring and worrying about things like privacy, ethics. There are also the transcripts of him calling his users "dumb fucks" for trusting him with their data.

There's never been accountability for Mark, he's never cared for it, and he's only been excessively rewarded by it. He's only learned to control and control his image more and more tightly.

20/20 hindsight, is obvious now that this would evolve like this based on Facebook's beginnings.

To add, FaceMash that Mark had started - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/04/11... - what kind of game is it of trying to confuse people by using phrases like "unclear truth" as an answer, it's almost in line with "fake news." And I don't care he was younger or the other details, I care that he still hasn't owned up to it, taking responsibility, being an adult about it to help build our trust with him. Instead he continues to play these games, and certain people want him to because it makes them/keeps them rich.

My biggest issue with Waze is that (in my mind, admittedly) it very blatantly promotes using your phone while driving. Case in point: because the location where a mark goes is based purely on GPS, I can't pass a speed trap and manually mark it on the map later when I'm done driving. If I want to mark it, I have to do it right then while I'm driving. If I want to participate, I need a passenger.

I assume the excuse is that it's to prevent people from just sticking random things on the map and muddying the data, but I fail to see how that is any different from normal use. Can't I just report speed traps anytime I want, regardless of whether or not they exist?

Sure, there's always the option of just not participating in the crowdsourcing, and that's fine. But not everyone is going to take that option, because people are... well, people, and they act like people do.

A disclaimer just doesn't cut it.

> We'll give you 2 seconds warning

It's rather important to note that Tesla does not even promise that. It's clearly the impression that a great many people have including technically minded people here on HN. But that impression can kill you.

I'm all in favor of the long term goal here, but just focusing on the short term, what exactly is the user benefit of autopilot if you have to promise to stay 100% as focused and attentive as if you didn't have autopilot? As far as I understand, automatic collision avoidance is on by default at all times. And we've had cruise control for ages to physically rest legs and feet. So what's the point of autosteering?

I believe Tesla cites data that accident rates are lower with autopilot on. So, if they are being straightforward, that would imply it avoids collisions even more than regular always-on collision avoidance. (This is controversial as others have noted.) But... even if Tesla's implication is correct, logically this would only be true if the driver wasn't paying 100% attention to the road. Which is a violation of autopilot TOS. Therefore, it is plausible that most every accident avoided by autopilot is at best a case of misusing autopilot.

And that's a stretch. As others have noted, quite possibly it is the collision avoidance features that are responsible for the reduction in harm, not autosteering.

If instead the main point of autopilot is to train the fleet for our eventual Level 4-5 autonomous future... that seems like a dangerous way to go about it. Cheap, even. It leverages imperfect users to gather training data instead of employing trained professionals to do it in company vehicles.
Wow 3 years! That's a long time.

A lot to unpack in your post, but some things worth mentioning:

A. Savings rate is everything. How much can you save and get compounding?

If you're high earning early in your career and can keep your costs of living down, you come out way ahead. This is much easier said than done. Also a big deal in college savings—being able to put away $5k / year in a tax advantageous account for your kid(s) makes a huge difference if you can do it when they're infants. If you're not a high earner until they're in high school, it's a different scenario.

2. Have seen a lot of friends (particularly engineers) go freelance and build up consulting work while in a city like NY or SF—and then once they have stable income they move to a cheaper location.

Kingston, NY in the Hudson Valley is a really interesting example of this. A small but steadily growing community of technical talent that works remote, but knows each other—making 90%+ of what they'd made in a major city and only two short hours to NYC by train or bus to meet clients, etc. And very nice housing stock in the $200-300k range. I would expect to see even more of this as we move into an age of autonomous vehicles, etc.

3. Cities. It's not clear that the party line of cities for the past decade is true. The 2008 crash did a number on younger people's ability to buy homes and finance them. They opted to stay in cities and rent instead. That trend seems to be reversing quite quickly.

The iPhone and any app on it can be exploited. The microphone can be remotely turned on, it's location can be tracked, etc. etc.

We can evaluate the likelihood of attack based on the attacker's return on investment: If there's a $1 million secret and the attacker can get it for $0.1 million, that's a good deal; if it costs the attacker $2 million, then why bother?

The value of accessing POTUS' information can't be overstated. It's the literal survival of nations, trillions upon trillions of dollars, the very course of the history of civilization. If foreign powers can access it, even if it costs them billions of dollars, they will. Even allies do it - the U.S. was caught hacking the German Chancellor's phone in the last several years. The same goes for others with the resources and the willingness to break the law, such as organized crime and less scrupulous buinsesspeople - you could easily make billions on the markets by knowing Trump's plans. And if your competitor knows and you don't, you are at a disadvantage.

Also, it's a good source for blackmailing POTUS (an incredible but now conceivable thought) and for gaining similar information about the powerful people he meets with.

Well, I've been in this scenario before, and have resorted to that. I was this guy [1]. (Interview question in link, I had written a solution.)

The interviewer stubbornly insisted that the run time was n^2 because it had an inner loop. (Never mind that the inner wasn't looping over pairs with the bigger loop, but just the bits within that element.)

I went through a number of heuristics to convince him otherwise: what if you doubled the list, how would that analytically affect the run time? What if the elements were bigger? (as you can find from the reddit thread)

Disturbingly, I asked him what he would need to see to convince him that the code I wrote was O(n), and he said, "no inner loop", which reveals a profound misunderstanding of both the issue at hand, and how to resolve disagreement. At that point, I resorted to saying, well, let's run the code with increasing input size and see how it scales (which would give valuable information about its actual scaling behavior).

Then he refused, left the room, and told the director to veto me from the rest of that day's interviews.

On (1), that assumes that the odds are fixed and not tweaked per player. That isn't necessarily the case. Even if it is, other parts of the game can be manipulated to make the purchases seem more rewarding than they actually are, as at least Activison has explored:

> For example, if the player purchased a particular weapon, the microtransaction engine may match the player in a gameplay session in which the particular weapon is highly effective, giving the player an impression that the particular weapon was a good purchase. This may encourage the player to make future purchases to achieve similar gameplay results.

>, but a lower level API that wouldn't require a runtime yet still was superior to C's feels like a massive win for the industry that's just waiting to happen.

A lower-level binary API was tried before in the 1990s by various players. Microsoft's effort was COM/COM+ to unify programming languages across binary boundaries.[1] Another initiative was CORBA.[2]

Those technologies are still alive in various legacy forms but they haven't taken over the landscape like the proponents thought they would. (Although the whole MS .NET ecosystem introduced in 2002 is arguably a continuation of COM+ by a different name.)

I would never think to deny anything you're saying. The 2000 word character limit on submissions prevented me from being more explicit in what I was decrying, which is that wellbeing does not seem to scale commensurately with salary/wealth/effort, and in fact there are non-obvious penalties. It seems you agree with that point.

I'm also addressing the HN demographic specifically. Our options don't tend to be low-wage service worker vs high-salary tech employee. Many of us could in theory trade away a high salary for a lower one that yields a dramatically better lifestyle. What I'm trying to point out is that making that decision may in fact be a more optimal strategy and worth considering.

Look, I'm someone who definitely empathizes with all of the pain in this world, but please permit me the opportunity to be momentarily a bit more selfish and consider my own situation, which parallels that of a lot of people in this community.

Side note: buying is much more often a bad proposition vs renting than people think. Even if you have a net positive ROI, it still likely does not compensate for the increased time loss + stress involved in home ownership. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-cal...

Other side note: private institutions on balance don't offer a better education, but are superior for networking and credentialing (here I mean the top 25ish; not the scumbaggy student loan black holes), which (sadly) are among the most important levers for value creation in life. Of course that only matters if value creation is an important goal for your kids.
I think part of the issue is also that the old and the new power brick are about the same price, but the new one doesn’t include a cable. Also the packaging is mostly similar, so it’s not very clear in indicating that there’s not a cable included anymore.
What guarantees? Nothing prevents a function receiving a nursery from not using it. Unless the language can enforce it you don't really gain anything valuable over returning a Promise, except more complex code that doesn't compose.

> Much like you know that control flow will come back to the function you're reading after calling another function.

What about continuations? Exceptions? Aborts? setjmp()? I can think of many cases where control doesn't return to the caller that are perfectly valid.

Basically, either the code is so simple theres obviously no bugs, or the code is so complex theres no obvious bugs. I feel a nursery is closer to the later than the former.

I find these sorts of theories by US economists (that game theory is how humans think, all humans are lonely, distrustful, little 'value' hoarders) little more than telling introspections. They're approximately as scientific as evolutionary psychology.

Interestingly, I think Microsoft has a solution in this category... on the Xbox. "Xbox Record That" goes back in time and records the last 30 seconds of gameplay.

This is how Google Clips should have worked. You can't trust AI algorithms to know exactly when something should be recorded. But, if they're constantly recording and throwing away video, then imagine yelling "Ok Google, record that" to your Google Home, it could instruct all the Clips you have in your house to save the last 2 minutes, then give you an interface to select and edit the videos you want.

How Google didn't think of this integration is beyond me. Sometimes they live twenty years in the future. Sometimes they miss things that are so blatantly obvious that Microsoft has a solution already.

But I also question the motive. This idea that we need to record everything for the future is very recent, definitely motivated by human psychology to collect things and escape the clutches of time. We've lived for thousands of years without it. Why do we need it now? Nostalgia? We already know that Facebook and Insta are bad for your brain by showing you the "surface perfect" lives that all your friends seem to live.

What, then, is the psychological impact of living in the "beautiful past" instead of the moment. You're trading time and money today to collect these. When we recall memories, especially positive ones, our brains add imperceptible flair to them, helping us cherish them even more. This is lost when we take and watch videos of everything, recording the absolute truth of moments in our past. We post them to Facebook. We embarrass our children later in life with them. Its... weird.
And now it is the bond bubble. Currently still in the phase of minority coverage.
