That was a reference made by user tomato.

But if you prefer my point of view, those that fill up SV coffees or live in other parts of the globe trying to replicate the SV culture and are naive to the point to give Apple and Google human attributes, while believing they are any different from a profit oriented corporation.
This might be as hard, but it's not as risky as rewriting the whole thing.

This approach, at worst, will just fail.

Rewriting the whole thing can have real big consequences if not done carefully and takes a real long time to bear fruit.

Your salary is not that important. What is important is your buying power. What and how much you can actually buy with what is left over from tax. So be very careful concluding anything based on income alone.
In the US (and possibly EU), it's extremely expensive to become a bank -- even an online-only one. There are huge regulatory hurdles, even if you're just a money transmitter (like Venmo was when it launched).

How would the service you're describing make up its costs?

The fact is that infrastructure costs a lot to build, and it makes sense to charge people only when they use that infrastructure.
I don't understand the message of this article.

> "This was a unique event, a moment that unveils a completely unexpected image of the power balance between inquisitors and the communities over which they held jurisdiction. The resulting picture is significantly less one-sided than has traditionally been imagined."

But then...

> "Unfortunately the success of this unique uprising was short-lived. By 1301, Guido of Vicenza was back to his old tricks, desecrating the shrine of a popular local holy man."

So the inquisition ultimately was not held accountable and the popular uprising was ineffective.

>> rich tend to succeed and poor tend to fail regardless of whether the grab the marshmallow or not.

We were talking about intelligence. The marshmallow test measures delayed gratification.

>> If intelligence corresponds to wealth, we would expect Nobel prize winners and widely cited scientist to be the richest people.

It's a correlation - so we'd expect them to be richer than average, and richer on average than dumber scientists. They are - you can sell a Nobel prize for $5M.

>> Rich people .. scattered through the world .. history and thus have maximum genetic difference. They can not reasonably share a common gene that skips over millions of people between them. ... no gene correlating to wealth has been found. ...

I am not proposing "wealth" genes - how ridiculous. It would be trivial though, just find a richer ethnic group and use their novel variants. That doesn't prove causality, though.

Intelligence is a highly polygenic trait, there are probably thousands of variants involved. But here's a simpler model - inheriting a high IQ is partly due to a lack of damaging variants. There are plenty of variants associated with intellectual disability, go search OMIM. Inheriting one of them leads to not being able to hold down a job, and thus lower income.

There you go - inherited intellectual disability - an exact genetic link to wealth acquisition (or lack thereof).

>> https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11711-smarter-people-...
>> controlled for other factors – such as divorce, years spent in school, type of work and inheritance

I wish I had a dollar for every social science paper confounded by genetics!

Imagine wealth and IQ are perfectly linked and 100% heritable. Wouldn't controlling for inherited wealth completely wipe away the signal?

For divorce - delayed gratification seems to be inherited - the original marshmallow experiment showed this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experimen...

"Absence of the father was prevalent in the African-descent group but occurred only once in the East Indian group, and this variable showed the strongest link to delay of gratification, with children from intact families showing superior ability to delay."

Not all of us. I have been writing open source since approx. 1998, and I remember hosting my code on sourceforge, and announcing on freshmeat. There was also a few other central repositories, and some major projects having their own CVS and later Subversion repositories. Later came Google Code that I used too, circa 2004 or 2005. But I clearly remember people, myself included, looking for a code repository they could use for their source code.
Well, you don't think a big decision like this would be made within a few hours in a large, community driven project, would they?
Just for LOLs I went to his website mentioned in the article ready to pounce on a stock image of a brain or robot somewhere on there, but the author is true to his word and only has pictures of flowcharts, screenshots (yes, and actual code) and images of facial recognition at work, which is how most people experience face recognition ML. Kudos to him for walking the talk.
I think that the topic 'privacy' isn't the main factor in this case. Most stuff on platforms like GitHub and GitLab are public anyway and shouldn't include any private stuff.

In my case i simply want to move since i really dislike microsoft and their business decisions. I simply don't want to be involved in any "direct" way with this company. Microsoft doesn't have much control over GitLab, just because they use their servers. But Microsoft will have a lot of control over GitHub.
Which makes see the wisdom of Gnome choosing Gitlab.

Companies that use github, both as teams on the main website and with the enterprise version, pay 9 dollars per month per user. If Microsoft can get it's enterprise customers to trust the product enough to pay that sort of a price this will be a very profitable acquisition for Microsoft. If anything, I don't think github would've ever been able to acquire enterprise customers had microsoft not made this acquisition.

More research on improving internal combustion engines that were known to work well seemed more justifiable than pouring money into electric vehicle research.

I’m pretty sure there was a time when improving steam engines was more “justifiable” than figuring out how to make internal combustion engines too.

Or breeding stronger horses instead of researching steam engines.

So no, that’s not how science works.

I actually was never anti-Microsoft but I must say that the aggressive, user-hostile moves they made with Windows 10 seriously irked me.
Are you sure about that? The stock market is not a mathematically defined process in the long run. It is still a gamble.

Let's say you are investing in T-bonds that generates a guaranteed 5% + inflation for 50 years. The lifetime of the US is, say, 500 years. After the lifetime of the US, the value of the USD drops by 100%.

So, yes, it is a good deal as long as it works. Some people are going to live 95 years and experience the stability and rewards of the T-bonds. Some people are going to invest for 10 years and lose it all. Some people are going to invest for 50 years and lose it all. Worse, if they don't diversify they'll be at an age where they can't generate wealth again (old).

You'll need a model of the USA lifetime to be able to determine the real returns + risks of the stable mutual funds.

There is no such thing as "compounding interest". Wealth doesn't compound like an e function. You are making money off someone else either "legitimately" by getting their work in exchange for your capital/risk. Or you are making money on a big, very long "ponzi scheme" known as "most world governments".

Ask HN: Guaranteed destructive update == reinventing Rust?
In a language with mutability we can mutate parts of an array, like

a[10] = 3.14

In a pure functional language we cannot do this. Instead we have to in principle create a new array

a2 = writeArray a1 10 3.14

If a1 is a huge array doing this by making a copy of the whole of a1 would be horribly expensive. We would like the compiler to be able to infer situations where a1 is not used after this statement and actually implement the above statment by mutating a1 is place. This is a destructive update.

Because the performance costs of not being able to do a destructive update are so large, we would like the programmer to be able to specify that an update should be destructive, with the compiler throwing an error if if cannot guarantee that that would be the case.

To work correctly across function calls the compiler of such a language would have to keep track of which of its arguments a function updates destructively.

To keep this analysis tractable across separately compiled modules it seems to me that the programmer would have to be able to write explicit annotations to this effect in the types of functions.

But in working out how these annotations should work it seems to me that I'm ending up reinventing Rust with its system of mutable and immutable references.

Is this inevitable?

A significant proportion of people couldn't swim 250 m or tread water for 10 minutes.
I have not yet looked but have any in the community tried?

In your expert opinion would it make more sense for a WASM backend to be part or the DUB build process or embedded into DMD itself?

I think Rust has some approaches that let you build as an addon to Cargo (the Rust equivalent to DUB) so maybe a similar path might make sense? I do know there are efforts to bake WebAssembly into Rusts compiler down the road though.
These would be horrible. You make it harder to sell your startup with random oversight of small acquisitions, you’re going to scare away small and medium sized investors.
I see it as a irony that in 68 there were many communist activists in the West, while Czechoslovakia - socialist country - was invaded by 'allied' eastern bloc armies. Reason was that local politics shifted towards what was called "communism with a human face", meaning it introduced freedom of expression.

Any attempt to implement Marx ideas resulted in unimaginable amount of suffering and injustice, scarring nations for decades to come. I am dismayed that he still has so many followers, and quite a lot of them seem to be Westerners.

This rings very true to me.

A progression from monolith to modularlized monolith to modularlise monolith with trivially sharded db - mostly gets you to a pretty serious scale without major re-writes and without original sin (premature optimisation). (This assumes you're not trying to re-train RNNs for every app user multiple times per session, or mining bitcoin blocks, or any other super-backend-heavy website or app...)

So long as you have a plan (and this is mostly a business plan for how you're going to budget for this) about how you're going to notice sufficiently in advance of running into the hard upper limits of a horizontally scaled modularized monolith (ie: where the hosting costs of incremental scaling hockey sticks towards vertical).

If your app and business model doesn't have an obvious mechanism to pay for a large enough engineering team to re architect and re write from scratch well before you get to that hosting cost inflection, that's a good reason to question the sustainability of your plans. (And I'd settle for a "We just need to land another 250 million in VC funds by xmas!", so long as you've got a realistic plan for how you're going to use and raise that capital...)
A different look may be like this: I made an app and I gladly give away 30% (it can be less, btw) for not having to care about setting up and supporting payment, distribution and updates infrastructure, dealing with PCI and chargebacks, etc.
No autoscaling in place? I can help :)
