I lived at The Collective. Horrible, horrible place.

The price is ridiculous for a small cage in a crappy industrial area. Facilities are so-so, everything is made to a very low standard. For the same price you can get _so_ much better close to the city centre.

When I lived there the place was infested by young people doing tons of drugs and partying in the common areas. It was well known that several dealers lived in the building but as the staff were also massive cokeheads nothing ever happened.

To fill up the building The Collective housed people on placement through the government. That resulted in some interesting personalities. For example a guy who beat his girlfriend to blood in front of their kid and dragged her out by her hair through the reception.

The general manager was however fired when he, coked off his head, used his masterkey to enter a girls room in the middle of the night to 'talk'.

UBER also had their driver HQ on the ground floor when I was there which resulted in a lot of catcalling and weird behaviour from angry drivers in the reception.
The biggest difference is that Youtube has clearly encouraged small time entrepreneurs, mom and pops, to create businesses relying on the Youtube platform. Youtube will put ads in your video whether you get paid or not. If you do get lucky and get paid Youtube retains the right to destroy your business after the fact with no explanation and little recourse. Since google pays hopefully-maybe-after-the-fact, you are out of luck.

Compare this to traditional media. You make a pilot episode and sell the show. Usually the "you" in this case is a multi-million dollar studio. The network then pays you to produce one or more seasons of the show or they don't. They may decide to cancel your show, but you still get paid.

This makes me wonder what's the Vim of chairs?
That's seasonal living between two places (e.g. Snow Birds). Presumably there is already a workable solution for those folks. Parent was talking about people who randomly move country to country.
Looks sleek. Especially love the typeface (Meta), chosen well to complement the chair’s design.

Twenty five years retirement salary, not present salary. If you're retired it's extremely likely you have minimal expenses. Your house should be paid off. Your car, even if still financed is not going to have to commute you to work every day. Healthcare is covered by Medicare.

The maximum 401(k) contribution for 2018 is $18,500. It's gone up $500/yr pretty regularly, but even if you contribute that maximum (~$750 paycheck pre-tax so your take home goes down much less) without an employer match, you can retire on $40k/yr in 24 years. And that's at the conservative 4% figure you mentioned. That doesn't include employer match, which is free money that most people with 401(k) access have. That doesn't include supplemental Roth IRA savings (2018 max of $5,500/yr) which can give you more a favorable tax structure in retirement. And that doesn't include additional savings you can have in a regular brokerage account, on the same securities your 401(k) is on, just without the tax advantages.

It definitely can get messy, but there are some very easy ways to keep your project well structured.

1. Refactor out to separate components a lot.

2. Use the .ui.qml and .qml code behind pattern to separate UI from code.

3. Use singleton QtObjects to create abstract classes that contain any non-UX behavior.

As for graphing, the built in components work pretty well:

As far as QML widgets go, they have improved greatly since they released Quick Controls 2 (a rewrite of the initial set of controls).

Seems fairly complicated. React devs should read about XAML, where components have “templates” that allow the consumer of the component to specify how it’s rendered, leaving the component itself to provide behaviors and a default template. I think Flutter works similarly.

Example XAML ToggleSwitch template (notice how consumer is free to specify animations too):

Well, we have no alternative. We can't afford an experiment that funds a ton of people and lasts for a long time. No matter how abundantly confident the people of HN may be that BI is the way to go, one of the fundamental lessons of science over the past couple of centuries is that your "abundant confidence" doesn't count for squat in the real world.

If BI can't prove itself out in a smaller environment, we on no account can afford to risk our entire economy on it.

That said, I'm not saying this was necessarily a viable test of the idea. On the other hand, if it really is a great idea that is going to save civilization, it really ought to have the characteristic that it is still a good idea that is an improvement on the status quo even when applied in the small, such that everybody wants to continue the experiment and expand it, not shut it down. The slow drip of failed BI experiments, even if they didn't "really test BI", is becoming non-trivial evidence against the idea. An idea that only works if we wake up one day and transition the entire national economy at once, or worse, even the entire global economy (which the combination of "open borders" and BI could require, if "open borders" includes handing out BI to everyone who crosses the border), is a non-starter. Even if in some abstract sense it would work, we can't ever attain enough confidence in the plan to make it a rational choice.

There are certainly things that have the curve that if done a bit make things worse, but make things better if done wholeheartedly. However, there's a lot more things that people think have that curve but actually make things worse the more they are done. It is impossible to tell the two apart from here, and the abundance of bad ideas should give one pause before making a huge commitment. The twentieth century is strewn with the wreckage of economies that made that mistake, and the twenty-first century hasn't stopped, either. We can really only consider interventions that work in the small for our changes in the large. (And always keeping an eye out for the interventions that worked in the small but failed in the large!)

I hang out on reddit's financial independence sub, and there are a few Europeans and NL specifically; I believe there's even a specific FI NL sub (or maybe just FIeurope) for specific answers to your questions. Worth checking out if you are interested; more generally, it's the expenses not the income where most people struggle financially, and not having the US healthcare concerns makes a world of difference. You do need some kind of stable, middle class income to achieve FIRE - which is sometimes overlooked - but from there it's achievable if it's important (and it's OK for FIRE not to be important to you).

The Packers are the only publicly owned, non-profit team in the league [0]. They are effectively privately held shares: you can't sell them (you can gift them to family members only), you get no dividends, you get no rights except the ability to vote. It's the only reason the Packers are still in Green Bay: to move or sell, you'd have to convince 350,000 die hard Packers fans to vote in favor of a move/sale.

It's one of my favorite stocks: I never have to worry if the value is going up or down.

Can you share anything about the business and technical considerations that went into it? Some stuff I’d be curious about:

- did you build or buy it? If build, what’s it written in and how did you choose?

- were micropayments considered and if so, how’d that debate go?

- does it intentionally permit requests from certain referring domains, and if so, how’d the team decide which ones?

- was any analysis or monitoring done to arrive at the page view limit (like “X% of visitors would have reached it”), or was it the team’s - or an individual’s - subjective assessment of what felt right?

Same here. I realized I needed a big pay rise to continue living in London, given what living alone costs. With the other 50% of my reasons, I ended up moving to Copenhagen.

The choice in London seems to be between a tiny, grotty apartment within 45 minutes of the centre, or something a bit nicer but also further out. Friends with the former had no money left to go out. Friends with the latter couldn't be bothered to travel the longer distance to come out.

This is part of a bigger iceberg. A small number of scientists are recognized very early (typically high school) and tracked into programs like HHMI, which give them huge advantages over the course of their careers.

I suppose if HHMI is doing a good job recognizing the most promising people it makes sense to give them the most resources (maximizes total payoff), but it probably also ignores people who take longer to flourish.
NAT does not provide access protection. NAT only hides the lack of access protection when it isn't there. A stateful firewall provides access protection, and that works with both IPv4 and IPv6.
>It seems to me it is an elitist view that when you provide a service to the unwashed masses, it must be of lower quality.

That's exactly what happened, and it pre-dates the Labour government's goal of 50% participation.

The Further and Higher Education Act 1992 allowed polytechnics and colleges of further education to become universities. Many of these institutions had little or no research output and had previously been dedicated to vocational instruction.

There was an immediate and lasting change in how universities operated. Many of these post-1992 universities had extremely lax entrance criteria, in some cases tantamount to an open-door policy. There was a proliferation of degree courses that were obviously vocational and obviously far less demanding than a traditional degree - Sports Science, Hospitality Management, Fashion and Textiles etc.

There was another drop in standards with the introduction of tuition fees. Before 1998, university teaching was funded primarily through government grants, with students paying nothing. The Labour government introduced fees of £1,000 per year, which were increased to £3,000 in 2004 and to £9,000 by the Conservative government in 2010.

These higher fees were ostensibly a maximum, with the intention that universities could compete on price. The structure of the student loan system meant that there was little practical difference for students if they were paying lower fees, so all universities charged the £9,000 maximum. This fundamentally changed the character of British universities, shifting them away from the European social model and towards the American market model.

Less selective universities started to aggressively advertise to lower-performing school leavers, because there was no cap on student numbers and their income was directly tied to putting bums on seats. Universities had a strong incentive to promote humanities subjects over science subjects, because the former are much cheaper to teach. International students have become a hot commodity, because they pay higher fees than domestic students; many universities now offer fast-track schemes for international students, with lower entry requirements than for domestic students.

This move towards a market-led university system has driven a huge increase in pay for senior management and a huge increase in the use of casual and part-time lecturers. As in the US, we're now seeing managers earning salaries in the high six figures, while peripatetic lecturers are struggling to earn a living wage. There was a huge wave of strikes at the start of this year over cuts to university staff pensions, followed by collective legal action from students demanding compensation for missed lectures.

While the things you say certainly need doing, somehow they were all done in the past with vastly smaller non-academic staff. Say 50 years ago. What's changed?

Obviously IT is one thing, but this doesn't seem huge. Or maybe, it's not obvious why it need be a lot bigger than everyone having gmail.

I actually stayed in this building (Collective Old Oak) briefly a couple of years ago while I was waiting to move into a new flat.

It's pretty awful, to be honest. I was aware of the small room size and didn't mind that too much. The real problem is that the building seems very cheaply constructed. Poorly ventilated, no air conditioning, and very noisy due to cheap (non-acoustic) glazing units that don't seem to seal properly, and non-existent soundproofing between rooms.

It's also a rather scummy part of London with tons of traffic, noisy industrial neighbours, and generally run-down, heavily littered environs (but I did enjoy riding my bike down the adjacent canal towpath route into central London!). In a decade or so this might improve as the area is planned to be redeveloped with the HS2 interchange station etc.

On the other hand, there were some genuinely interesting people and events going on at the time I was there. They did seem to have succeeded in creating a nice community feel.

But if people are really paying £1000/month for a room here, they're being ripped off! There is much better quality accommodation, in better neighbourhoods, available for that sort of money.

> questioning the poster's motive

The motive can be important. Where there are multiple explanations and/or solutions this can filter out some that are not going to be relevant or practical for their current situation. Also where what they are asking seems impossible/impractical/misguided/other it can help in providing a better solution (i.e. trying to give them what they ultimately want even if it isn't what they are specifically asking for) or give context that might quieten your gut "don't do that" reaction.

The poster's motive is one of the most important bits of information: Where were you? What did you do? Why? What were you intending to happen? What happened instead?

> "Don't do that."

Sometimes "don't do that" or "you can't do that" is the only suitable answer though (such as where what they are trying to do is impossible, or just wildly impractical, or will open up a security nightmare, or there is a built-in method so they'd be reinventing a wheel, or one of many other reasons) with the important caveat that you don't answer with just "don't do that".

Better is "don't do that because <good explanation>" or "you can't do that because <good explanation>".

Even better still, if what is being asked it actually possible even if it is strongly recommended against: "You shouldn't do that because <explanation> but if you chose to ignore this recommendation you could try <method>".

well I've seen most enterprise networks with no IPv6 support. (mostly admins thing that this beast is hard to work with)
Also Kubernetes has limited IPv6 support (mostly on the documentation site) (of course it's easier to support a IPv6 only cluster, because heck you wouldn't really need BGP or some wierd overlay networks (sadly it still is not there yet)).

In Germany IPv6 within "Deutsche Telekom" is just good. But sadly on the consumer side you still won't get any fixed IPv6 (due to privacy concerns!)

> My compensation is no longer based on how much my manager likes me, it's based on my work and how I present it.

"and how I present it" sounds suspiciously like 'how much my manager likes me' (or whoever you present it to). Seems more like "same thing, different name" to me than a real difference here.
That brings back memories. Wonder what he's doing now?

I've got 2 Aerons in my home office right now and they're awesome. Cost me £100 each, 6 months old, bought from a government department who paid a fortune for them. That's where your tax money goes it seems.
Back in 2003 I managed to find a tiny bedsit, with a shower in one corner, sink + countertop oven in another, and bed in the third. It was a shared toilet, and cost half my take home wage.

I couldn't afford a proper 1 bed studio for £800 (with a separate bathroom), nor could I afford to commute on tube (I found one 35 minute walk from work), but it did the job.

I couldn't abide living in a house share, however somewhere that's effectively a hall of residence, with a kettle and microwave in my room, would be far more preferably than a house share.

18 months after my salary had increased enough that I could afford a 1 bed flat in Twyford and the commuting cost (cheap car, free parking due to shift work, 7 days a fortnight), which was great

My mortgage in 2018 on a 4 bed house in Cheshire is less than I paid for the rent on that flat in Twyford in 2004.
That largely describes US Social Security.
Quite reluctant to give actual figures so these are fudged. Salary of £45k, rent £1.2k/month, edge of zone 2/3, tube line within one minute walk, overground and another line quite close. Can't remember what area it is and I'm god awful at estimating area but I'd say the flat is about 500sqft?

Can't give location, sorry. I've doxxed too many people before on less information.
It's a slippery slope when you start profiting from misfortune. This company seems to be doing it right, for now. But it makes me wonder, if they're successful, will they be so symbiotic if something better tries to dislodge them in the future?
