so you want Google to do it with pride in WWIII?
Yes, someone can be considered poor because the only thing he/she got is money.
If you have money to invest, invest in low-cost, broad-based index funds. I personally bias slightly towards small cap (said more precisely: I avoid biasing toward large-cap, but to many people, that looks like biasing towards small caps). One specific choice is VTSAX from Vanguard, but there are many others.

Keep an emergency fund of 2-4 months in cash or equivalents, and invest everything else that you can when young. Don’t buy the flashy new car, the rounds of $15 drinks, don’t carry a credit card balance, etc. When the inevitable market gyrations come, do not take the money out. Don’t try to time the market.

If you don’t have much money to get started, consider real estate as a second job. The leveraged nature of that bet is one of the few ways to start from relatively little money and build a nest egg. It’s a second job, though. If you pay a PM to manage it, the PM makes more current income than you do in most cases.

In addition to jacquesm’s advice to read MMM, I also recommend the jlcollins stock series: http://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/
I'm not entirely sure but I always get redirected to https://twitter.com/i/flow/consent_violation_flow

I assumed it was something to do with GDPR, but curiously I'm not prompted for anything, just instant redirect to this page.

I just treat it as another happy instance of GDPR productivity boosting so I'm not motivated to figure out how to fix it.
The existence of Clang (ironically the very compiler discussed in the headlined article) undermines your argument, based as it is upon there being "no reason to build a new compiler".
#ProTip I still have some distant friends who occasionally message me on fbook messenger.

I open a private session on mobile safari, log into fbook, then “request desktop site” and read/reply. I refuse to have fbook app installed on my phone.

However I stupidly use WhatsApp everyday...
It's impossible to create wealth without labour. But you absolutely can amplify labour (any kind of tool, harness a horse, build a water or wind mill). And you can also store wealth: labour now, use later (e.g. grainstore).

Neither are wealth crestion while you sleep.

These examples use an absolute measure of wealth, of food. Whereas, labour amplification in our society is neutralized over time: when everyone has the same tool, your labour is no longer (relatively) amplified.

The typical application of these ideas to todays society involves a moat or artificial barrier that prevents your labour from being commoditized, while you benefit from everyone else's labour, which is commoditized. Typically, "you' are an in-group, with special knowledge and powers.
I think he hints at this at the very end.

Nice. I'll probably stick with tmux+byobu, but I'll have a play with that the sake of play at least! Thanks for the link.
You know, if they went down the licensing path then they would probably have to pretty much ban Windows for any serious professional use, since it's not really "fit for purpose" and never has been. (Minimal acceptable standards would probably be some type of hard-core Unix-like OS.) The same might be true for a lot of the open source stuff which is currently so popular.
This isn't about cryptography.
> A DGX-1V provides 50+ teraflops for fp64 at a price point that is within reach for many university labs.

Universities do tend to have deep pockets, and research grants do tend to be filed to max out the expenditure on equipment such as hardware. A university being able to afford a piece of kit doesn't mean much about its affordability.

Last time I looked into this this most suits are settled quietly out of court, at levels covered by very good professional insurance.

Who is actually going to raise the suit? Not so easy to pull together investors / debtors of very large entities.
Being legally vague is advantageous, it incrementally introduces the idea that power gets to regulate what people remember.
An Extension I developed to combat today's YouTube "quality" content.

You can easily block videos, channels and comments based on your own rule-set.

The block is 100% site wide, an unsuspecting user wouldn't know it's enabled, unless they're actively looking for a specific blocked video.

It's still an initial version, but there shouldn't be any issues. Also, the options page is not quite visually impressive, but functional. (A better one will come sometime)

This is a must have if you have little children browsing the site with no supervision.

It's compatible with Firefox 52+(ESR) & Chrome

How does money get you social skills?
Lucky to have the personality and intelligence to do the things he mentions, for example.
No, the purpose of the military in modern times is to push, enforce and maintain the interests of the hyper-capitalist ruling class.
That's a far more limited claim. There's a very common claim that "markets are efficient". Extending to all markets all the time. Explaining why market based solutions are the best way to provide health care and education and other (arguably common) goods.

But many markets (the labor market, the health care market, etc) work in such a way that it's ridiculous to assume that most participants know all public and private information all or most of the time.

That was extremely annoying, although you can work around it by accessing mbasic.facebook.com with a mobile browser.

Also using mobile Chrome in desktop mode enables one to read messages, although it's quite awkward to use.

Facebook's push to force end users to install their messenger on mobile phones made me very suspicious. I stopped using all their regular mobile clients as well, and only use browser.
> taking the money then reneging on the deal will not get them any more money

Unless they reason that killing hostages is safer than releasing them, on account of 'no loose ends'.

> may attract the interest of other kidnappers who have a longer term view

Assuming a highly chaotic environment, this seems unlikely.

If you're asking how to get rich without luck, then of course luck is not part of the equation.

If you're asking how to get rich at all, then getting lucky is a valid strategy.

This article is about the former.

Oh come on.

The US established itself as 'the world police' and built 900+ military bases around the globe to protect its own financial interests at the point of a gun.

Let's not pretend it does any of this shit out of altruism.
You forget the multi level sales scheme that has everyone dreaming of becoming a partner and living the good life. Similar to a startup you are taking lower pay to build value-less equity in the hope you will get to the top and cash out.

You can pay people to coach you and to practice with in a low-stress environment.

Would you consider "Alfred" (the osx app) demeaning to men? Or Bartender (the osx app) demeaning to both genders?

I am wrapping my head to think about what Facebook could do that I can't live without. Essentially, it is a contact book. But it is so much more complex than just that. It has a bit of everything: Photo sharing, Event organization and opinion advocating.

But as it all adds up, Facebook is becoming less and less social overtime: people posted stuff, but they don't really expect interactions, they only want reactions, and the ones they expected. Unlike chatting, unexpected conversation could happen, and could genuinely help discovery of new perspectives. Facebook, in its current form, is just a static wall of trophies, a decorated personality about what you want people to think you are. It is tiring and indeed requires high maintenance.

It will not be surprising to me, that Facebook's downfall is just the beginning, they might keep buying other social apps, but it does little to keep their current audience from going away.
What’s your definition of rich here? Because earlier you said “born in a rich country”, so I guess about a billion of us qualify?

Assuming you meant something else, most rich people in America are first generation rich. Of course, growing up here in a middle class or upper middle class household didn’t hurt, but they’re not rich because someone dumped $5mm in their bank account when they turned 18.
We do this informally for EU VCs, we have a pretty good idea which start-up will match which VC in our network but we have to be careful to maintain our independence so VCs do not start to feel we are pressuring them to make an investment or that we are seen as a 'stamp of approval'.

("we", me and the team of people that I work with).

Because it is a very small world and we're not the (by far) the strongest party in it a negative advice is something I would not do unless there is public evidence that a VC can not be trusted or is unethical.

This is the theory, yes, and to a point it's even true, but the US military is _not_ being used in this way. There is no challenger for "ultimate political power" within the US region. Their spending and investment is well beyond what is necessary to keep up with the "competition", of which there is effectively none. It is merely the continual expansion and growth of an already vastly overqualified force which hasn't actually been needed to enforce "ultimate political power within its region" in decades, but instead has busied itself on a series of unpopular, unproductive, and devastating wars which have destabilized a region and are now causing problems worldwide.

Making this violence engine more powerful is evil, even if one accepts that a military force is 100% necessary.

PHP real-time microframework to build a RestApi working with a websocket server
Disclaimer: I'm self-promoting.

I built Sandstone using Silex and RatchetPHP in order to create a RestApi with a real-time side.

I followed Silex way to create RestApi endpoint to create websocket channel, and I use it in exemple to build game where players POST their moves to the API, and are instantly notified through the websocket server that his opponent played.

As few people started to like it and use it, and getting some questions/feedback from mails, I share it here on HN to, I hope, get more feedback.

This sounds like a contradiction?
That's assuming computational resources could grow forever without limit, which of course they can't.
There are texting packages in European contracts as well, particularly in the more competitive markets in North Europe, but one reason to prefer WhatsApp is roaming: in the US, you can use your texting package all over the continent, but in Europe, you couldn't - whenever in a neighbour country, sending an SMS or an MMS could be very expensive, and what's worse, the price is unpredictable or even scammy.

So it was better to use wifi and WhatsApp to communicate. Once you'd fixed your net access, you could be sure of cheap easy text communications.

The EU roaming pricing law has now fixed the original cause, but it is too late to change people's behaviour.

But perhaps the idea is that of deterrence, i.e. that you don't actually plan to use the weapons unless someone forces you to use them.

See Mutual Assured Destruction.

Or you can use them defensively. Killing is evil, but if someone points a gun at you, would you still feel evil if you killed them instead?

Weapons can also neutralize weapons (instead of people), e.g. missile interception.

Further, it might be possible to develop effective non-lethal weapons (military equivalent of taser).

Finally, developing weapons can also mean that weapons become safer. For instance, less collateral damage. Or weapons that can be controlled better, so they can't be used by people who shouldn't use them.

This is bad news for the technology business when those markets only 'efficiently' allocate capital to companies that attempt to exploit P=NP.
It is if they are doing evil things, which they have done, a lot.
Define a threshold for proper function and look around you. If all you read is breathless headlines and agitated facebook postings the world may look black, but sit down, define thresholds and then judge the financial sector by what you've decided is appropriate.

Money is transferred reliably and quickly? Bank accounts are safe, and the insurance banks need to pay is and remains cheap? Salescritters never offer "high-interest low-risk" investments? Define your threshold.
You mean like 4chan? Also you can make your own reddit client, it has a pretty open API. So, you can make your own reddit client looking like HN.
There is a difference between consuming and getting what you need to live.
Well, if you really use money only for basic food and essentials, I think you can survive with very, very little money. I did that when I was a student. Life can be just quite dull if you eat that kind of food from day to day.

What I see is that most people just appreciate the luxury today more than the savings which would enable more luxury tomorrow. I think there's nothing wrong with that. You might die any day in a traffic accident, so why bother saving all that money? Those are quite subjective decisions.
> Why do small parcels need to be moved by big trucks? Why not motorcycles?

Good question (maybe a package of vaccines for a full island isn't a "small parcel" anymore?), but that's not the part the initial drone proposals are supposed to replace.
If I claim somebody is ranting and raving, I’m not claiming anything about whether I’m yelling, but whether they are.

Of course, “rant” has more than one meaning. I did not mean “the writer should be held in a mental institution as a threat to themself or others,” or even “writer should feel embarrassed and ashamed for publishing this.” I meant “article makes statements that generally aren’t supported by valid arguments.”

I then gave an example that (1) was not the only case of a supporting argument not actually supporting the claim, and (2) perhaps wasn’t completely fair. But first, a story:

Recently, one of my sons had diarrhea. He complained that his sister made him sick, since she had just recovered from a cold. He never understood why we rejected that argument (yes, people with colds can give other people colds, but he didn’t have a cold), and then told him he didn’t have anything to support his claim. As far as he was concerned, he had made something that looked like a valid argument: his sister had a cold, now he was sick, q.e.d.

So when I said that the statement “‘supposed’ optimization” isn’t really an argument, but a statement that “there are people who disagree with me, but they’re wrong,” which isn’t a supporting argument — if anything, it’s a placeholder for a supporting argument — I forgot that the essay does advance one reason to reject the “‘supposed’ optimization,” but I rejected this reason (the issue about whether it’s slower to increment a value that has defined overflow than one that does not isn’t a question of whether the two values are the same size), and then said the statement had no support.

It is true that at this point, I can provide other reasons to reject the compiler writers’ argument, but then the whole exercise feels like a psychic reading (writer: “I feel like blue will be important for my next argument, can you tell me why?” reader: “wow, that’s uncanny; blue is important ...”).
> They aren't killing people autonomously. There is a human pilot behind every death.

Oh, so we don't need these weaponized AI developements then?
But I suspect that with the AI you could more easily escape responsibility by blaming the software. Who faces the consequences when an autonomous drone bombs a school? "Oops, sorry, it was a bug."

Well, that's a quite insubstantial point, to say the least. Mathematical theorems place upper and lower bounds on what is possible in the real world within almost every domain. Of course, there may often be other reasons why something is impossible, too.
Continua la crescita internazionale di Mister Worker
Dopo aver finanziato imprese come Vistaprint, Yoox, Mutui Online, eDreams e Volagratis, il noto fondo di Venture Capital Ame Ventures, di Michele Appendino, ha deciso di investire su un’impresa italiana che sta radicalmente innovando il settore dell’e-commerce business-to-business (B2B).
Si tratta di Mister Worker®, Il marketplace di utensili professionali e attrezzi da lavoro per aziende e professionisti, premiato come eccellenza italiana ai Netcomm e-commerce Awards 2016 e parte delle 556 PMI Innovative in Italia grazie a un software proprietario.
Eccellenza Italiana nel mondo. In un settore da sempre popolato da colossi stranieri, Mister Worker® ha come cliente principale le acciaierie del Guatemala e clienti del calibro di Eni, Saipem, Siemens Uk, Ducati, Birkenstock e NATO (Science & Technology Institute).
La piattaforma è inoltre integrata anche con il MEPA (Mercato Elettronico della Pubblica Amministrazione) che permette a Mister Worker® di vendere dalla singola scuola di provincia al ministero della difesa.
“Le Vendite internazionali rappresentano oltre il 50% del fatturato - spiega Gianluca Borsotti, CEO di Mister Worker® – Il nostro motto è We ship everything, everywhere, spediamo infatti dal singolo pacchetto al bancale di merce, in tutto il mondo, con consegna in 24/48 ore”.

Here's a publication from the UK Parliament Foreign Affairs Select Committee, dated 21 May 2018, "Moscow's Gold: Russian Corruption in the UK".

https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmfa...

This is the first sentence to mention money laundering "The Government responded robustly to the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury in March 2018. But despite the strong rhetoric, President Putin and
his allies have been able to continue “business as usual” by hiding and laundering their corrupt assets in London."

Section 3 is called "Closing the Laundromat".

Writing this comment served to remind me that the publications from the UK Parliament are generally of very high quality (certainly anything I've ever read).

Not really.

Replace "strategy" with "explanation" if you prefer.

If you're starting from a position where you're rich, and you're trying to explain why, luck is a valid explanation.

If you're starting from a position where you're not rich, and you want to get rich, you're best concentrating on the things you can control rather than complaining about things you can't control.

How do you define being poor? My definition: having to think about money or surviving all the time. With stable low-income job or even with small savings without job, you can live quite stress-free life if you keep your living expenses low. Meaning that you just have routines and hobbies that are inexpensive - cook home, live in cheap area, commute with bicycle, etc.
