I always think of it in disaster tiers.

Market slowdown, you'll want your bonds.

Recession, you'll want your cash.

Depression, you'll want gold and barterable goods.

Economic collapse or apocalypse, you'll want food, medicine, and alcohol (possibly the most barterable good, also delicious).

In any case anybody reading this in a major city faces non zero likelihood of disaster (take your pick for your city, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, terrorist attack, war) and should be stockpiling 3 liters of water per person in the house per day you want to be able to survive on your own, alongside 2k calories of food, trash bags, etc. I say have a stocked liquor cabinet as well because my experience in Backcountry many week hikes has taught me you can get nearly anything in return for good liquor :)

I've also heard strong arguments for the stockpiling of pornography and certain chemicals that are valuable in tbe production of medicine or just used as general reagents, don't know too much about chemical stockpiling though.

Careful for the prepper rabbit hole, it runs so very deep ;)
Is this an ad for Netlify ? It's cited 10 times in the post.

There are plenty of reasons not to use a CDN, not the least being that you might not want to give a third-party access to your traffic. Even static information might be sensitive, accessing some forbidden data can put people at risk. The central position CDN are increasingly taking on the Internet make then worryingly nice targets for snooping by surveillance bodies.
As a tech oriented site we're nearly all accustomed to unix/unix-inspired general purpose CLIs. However that's not all that exists. There exist more specialized systems, such as those designed to be used over teletype machines, that present the user with a pre-defined menu prompt at each step in the interaction. However unlike with voice-oriented systems, the user can sit there and read the entire list of options for as long as they'd like. You connect, and a menu prints out. You press a key to make a selection and a new menu prints out, or the system prompts you to enter a different sort of data.

Think back to the earliest programming courses people take:

Hello Jack Ch!
My savings rate is 74.95%. Yes, I am that anal about it.

I'm keeping a fair bit in cash right now (ready for the next crash). In terms of "stash" I guess overall I'm about 40% gilts and bonds, 30% equities, 30% cash. Not too spicy, but I sleep well. They reckon should should hold you age in bonds and gilts (55% for me). Total stash is equivalent to about 33.33 years of expenses.

Then there's property which I don't include in stash.

I would think seriously about the fact you have very little diversification in your portfolio.

You also are holding the typical amount in cash that is recommended for an emergency fund. I'm slightly more contrarian on that issue - I like to keep one to three years of expenses as cash - it varies depending on various issues.

Of course everyone has their own thoughts on investment and there is no "one size fits all".

All the best!
The only part I had an issue with in terms of a CDN was expiring content fast enough when making changes as it seemed to be a headache worrying about that as I can't count how many times a customer asked "should I refresh?" but I guess then it should be a dynamic site if changes are frequent enough. Using Netlify seemed to handle this problem of expiration for me and I do believe they are using AWS and are handling the details or caching and expiring headers etc. so I would recommend using a service that removes worrying about that part.
Yes, but only if evidence is provided to justify calling the doctor a quack.
Isn't the 60 votes thing is more a reaction to the Gringich stated policy of obstruction before cooperation style politics - before that Democrats and GOP crossed party lines more often to pass legislation and did not vote in lock step, I definitely recall Reagan/Tip O'Neill worked together across party lines to pass legislation most recently. Also, because of the 1980's Byrd Rule that requires 60 votes on avoiding the filibuster in the Senate on bills that affect the budget in certain ways after reconciliation - it sometimes lets bills only need 50 like the GOP was trying for with their ACA rollback last session.

Now it seems rare, the Maginsky Act sanctions and the Iraq War powers are the only consensus votes that come to mind.
And I don't even want to blame the interfaces entirely. To me the real problem is people building and deploying things when there is a giant gap between hype and reality.

The Web was legitimately the next big thing. And after that, mobile. Both of them have changed our lives in deep and lasting ways. But we as an industry are absurdly hungry for the next, next big thing.

How many dumb-ass voice and bot and AI and blockchain projects are there out there now? That basically don't work, but have been shipped anyhow? How many millions of dollars have been wasted? And really I should say billions. Theranos alone burned through $1.2 billion of hype. And there was the wave of "Uber for X" companies, busily failing to replicate the business model of a company whose success still isn't a given.

I should be clear that I'm not opposed to trying new stuff. I'm all for it! But I think if we explore technological possibilities with less flagrant waste, we'll learn more. And be able to explore more.
There has been a lot of sword violence in the UK. Swords are next!
What I want to know is - how can I automate the Google Admin interface. Because holy crap, is it slow.

Yeah, I'm sure there is an API :-) I just haven't gotten around to looking into it yet, it's one of those annoying things that never gets to the point of seriousness, but gets a few choice words from me when I have to use Google Admin.
I've heard the situation explained times by others. My own experience is from a much, much smaller company and the owner just being oblivious due to his own ego. I saw the tension rising between the two individuals, and heard a few comments the owner had made which made it sound like they didn't think losing the employee in question would be a big deal. My first reaction was "If he fires her, I better look for a new job myself. This company probably has 12 months max without her, at least in it's current makeup."
That's the nature of finasteride, it lowers DHT which is one of the most impactful hormones on libido. Unfortunately, it does not return to it's original levels after cessation either.

Dr. Justin Saya who is one of the best men's endo docs out there and has treated 10k+ cases of ED has suggested finasteride is a common cause of permanently lost libido and ED.

How would you build a business on something you do not understand well? I've worked with startups who could not get past that 80% barrier you run into with your machine learning algorithms. They didn't know if their data was bad, their algorithm was bad or whatever the issue was because they ere not using data a human could easily conceptualize.

I don't think that anybody believe that Angular/React/Whatever are fast. They may be fast relative to another framework but certainly not to a simple webpage that has almost no JS.

The problem is mostly that most clients nowadays don't want a webpage, they want a web application. Something similar to what they have on their phone, computer, ... But JS is no C++ and so Angular cannot be Qt.
I use to make Qt application, now I work has a webdev. I do really see how web app are slugish and tend to lag everywhere. But the thing is, for most client, they don't really mind. What they see is that they can access the app from all their computer, phone and tablet, and that matters a lot more for them.

Plus, we will probably never come back to the era where most rendering was done server-side, it just cost too much.
Section 352.12(C) prohibits PVC for installations where
“subject to physical damage” unless identified for such use.

However, the meaning of "subject to physical damage" is supposedly a little loose, and most documents/training I've seen calls a typical vertical outdoor electrical service entry allowed.

In the specific space of machine learning in life-critical applications, I generally prefer product from established companies with reputation to sub-1000 startups.

The incentives to cut corners and go to market are much higher for small startups with short runways. I don't want corners cut when lives are on the line.

An economics Nobel is not the same thing as a Nobel in (for example) Physics, and citing it as an appeal to authority is intentionally misleading.

Sometimes an article and the upvoting thereof express HN's insecurities so well it makes me wonder if every single post is in someway tainted by similar psychological issues.
Interesting. If I understand correctly, this one is not a drug but a means of replicating a single hair follicle (to then be surgically planted one-by-one as in hair transplants)
There's been a lot of activity with the JS implementation of IPFS, but I'd agree that the core IPFS development has been lackluster lately.
Like everyone else, e.g. Boeing. IMHO better direct subsidies than indirect ones with 10% defence spending and trailer parks. But YMMV.
Interesting that the two “good neighbor” laws you picked mainly impact drivers. Perhaps the answer to your question is that almost all New Yorkers (city) are living in multiple dwelling buildings but only a smallish minority are regular drivers.
As a bald man, I have mostly chosen to not care. But there are times where I wonder if it hasn’t severely, negatively impacted my life’s path.
"Today's journalism"? It's called long-form journalism, and it's a format for people with longer attention spans who like to read.

If you don't like it, you probably shouldn't read New Yorker articles.
I'm one that's not easily swayed by hype usually.

I haven't jumped on the crypto bandwagon even, but I was working on a project midway through last year. It was a concept that would help people over come anxiety and depression so they could self-actualise and live a better life.

The thing with many people -- from out experience -- was that they don't necessarily always want to speak to a professional but they do want to share what they're feeling with someone they can trust. That's often a friend, but unfortunately friends aren't always in the best place to advise and sometimes inadvertently can make the situation worse. So we decided to build a bot that was anonymous enough to create enough abstraction but friendly enough to help. The content was driven by experts in the field.

Anyway. The whole concept just kept failing. We could barely get people past the first stage of questions. We tried so many different platforms, we did so many user studies and we kept trying to iterate but it just kept failing and all this time I did wonder in the back of my head if an app would have been a better idea. Now I know it would have probably at least been a better idea than a bot.

Really? You’re going to complain about an Electron app like VSCode? AMP is way worse, and Microsoft has made a lot of strides in OSS, for example by acquiring GitHub.
In my experience, cursing loudly will get a human on the phone pretty quickly.
I wonder how this can/will affect Go’s standard net package [0]. Will it be able to take advantage of this new Network framework (on macOS)? Or is the framework too high level for the low level primitives net exposes, and will need a new separate API?

Also, personally, I suspect this is another hint of an upcoming transition to ARM64-based Macs. They will only implement these new Apple-specific APIs, not the legacy/deprecated ones like OpenGL.

We’ll post more when it’s closer to being production-ready. But TLDR is that we’re making improvements to the threading model and interop with native code.
I bet the electric company probably takes all instances of "electric pole" to be a probable emergency report, since that is probably the most frequent reason for somebody to be mentioning an electric pole and it's safer to default to assuming an emergency.

I bet if you said something like "This electric pole isn't good for the aesthetic of my neighborhood, please bury your wires." it would assume that to be an emergency too (or maybe mentioning buried wires would take you to the "call before you dig" department...)
I was reminded of an episode of Seinfeld where a guy with a full head of hair started shaving his head because it was cool.

He eventually got fed up with shaving his head and decided to let it grow back, only to find he had gone bald for real in the meantime.

What if the static site is hosting some information banned in a specific country ? Simply accessing it might put a person at risk. I'm being very general here as you can find examples for practically anywhere.

Yup.

I'm not sure you should tie Robin William's continual mental problems with his suicide. After he died, they discovered he had a neurodegenerative disease, and it was causing serious problems with his life (disorientation, etc). He never knew what was causing it, but he knew things were very wrong and getting worse. Had he not committed suicide, he wouldn't have had long to live anyway, and would have had a horrible existence.

He did have mental issues for much of his life, but in the end it was likely his physical condition and not his mental issues that led him to suicide.

It's not clear if he had this condition in 2009 - he might have, but we don't know.
While it may have not fit their needs, the prior work in COSMOS suggests they could've done more if they chose:

I think attractiveness is like creating a D&D character. You have a low score for "hair" - to compensate max out on sense of humour or abs or something.

Didn't know the US was socialist, but what do I know, haven't been there for quite some time.

For very long distance maybe. It isn't clear how many people BFR can actually carry, which is a big factor (you quote 300, but I don't see any source backing that up). 10 people for the amount of fuel implies that the trip is only for the insanely rich - CEOs will take it but the rest of us will stick to the current technology (24 hour flight). If they can get 1000 people, the costs are probably cheaper than a jet, but they need the hub/spoke model to fill it up.

However that is only good for very long routes. Chicago to London is faster with current jets after you consider all the time wasted transferring to the BFR. Chicago to London can scale down to a direct Milwaukee (Wisconsin) to Stockholm (Sweden), if there is just a small amount of demand.
> This approach doesn't seem like a solution to affordable housing, even though many of these companies use that concept in their marketing.

It's not a complete solution, but construction costs provide a floor on the price of new housing.

Even if we solve all the other issues around zoning, impact fees (https://letsgola.wordpress.com/2018/06/03/impact-fees-are-ba...), approval times, NIMBYs, etc, the price of dense, new housing is going to provide a floor on how much it costs to house people.

It's also super important for construction to be cheap for it to make sense to build denser housing where moderately dense housing exists, because in those cases the value of the building over the cost of land is significant, e.g. I live in a 4 story building, but I live right on top of a subway station where we should probably have far more density, but my landlord is deriving value from all the occupants, but not the land.

So, it's not going to solve the housing issue by itself, but like the Ben Horowitz saying, there are no silver bullets, only lead bullets. And making construction costs cheaper is one of them.
Steve Jobs once quipped that conspiracy theory is optimistic. It assumes that someone somewhere has some idea what is happening and can actually steer the ship.

It diminishes wealth.
Writing off sovereign debt always comes with strings attached for the creditors - the terms will by definition be anti-democratic and could be incredibly dangerous. An improvement in global inequality is not a likely outcome.
How do you figure? I'm a YIMBY and I think that AirBNB should absolutely be regulated. Regulating it properly will ease the insane price pressure at least a bit, and failing to regulate it just feeds into NIMBY arguments.

I'm a YIMBY because people need homes where there are jobs, not because I think all problems are solved by the free market. A home is a fundamental human need. A hotel isn't.

I have a very good excuse for NOT hosting my site on "a CDN": one CDN is a central point of failure. Instead I host it on 3 geographically redundant dumb servers from 3 different hosting providers (and all my DNS records resolve to 3 IPs.) As a result my site has had 100% uptime since its deployment years ago, despite many individual outages at these hosters. There has also been multiple occurrences where an entire swath of the web was down because of outage at $CDN, while my site was chugging along just fine.

I think the most likely outage I might encounter would be due to operator error, eg. accidentally pushing a bad web server config to my 3 servers.

I decided to shave my head a few times in my 20's just to see how it looked on me. It looks great, so I'm not worried about that fallback plan.

Thankfully at 35, I have barely receding hair and a blue mohawk, so I'm probably ok for a while :)
In already-populated areas, expansion of transit capacity increases local economic activity and thefore throughput. This is an observable phenomenon. Municipalities even occasionally plan for it. Property investors certainly do.
I love Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain — I’ve always wanted to become a chef because of that book.

Otherwise, somehow, and I may be wrong, I think suicide might be deep rooted to our toxic: media, culture, attachments, conditioning, etc. It does sound a bit wrong to say. It might because I’m in my early twenties and still live with my parents and have lots of time to think but I’m becoming more aware of how, maybe, be of the world not in the world is so important. It seems like escapism but again, these days: I’m not reading the news as much or partaking in entertainment especially the internet, I’m spending more time alone in solitude, watching the evening sky, I’m going on walks, I’m deciding what has meaning and what does not, I’m just living but with no fuss, noise, or ego. Some may think it’s a boring way to live but it may be a true way to live, I think. It’s almost as I live in my own bubble and I’m not sure if that’s a right thing to do or not.

To the point, suicide and depression are terrible and I think, in modern day, we have to have a strong inner self to conquer it or else we get sucked in. It also reminds me of Thoreau’s Walden or Wallace’s understanding of American culture.
Users actually like it for a start :)

You don't have to go through 3 redirections to login, handling of 3rd party apps authorization is well thought out, and GitHub is already used an auth provider for many dev servcies, Microsoft accounts are not.

Lol. JS didn't exist when I was 16

Which is why I used it as an example. No need to get personal.

Ask your mom how many people knew anything about the computers in the 70s and 80s.

Don't have to ask, I was there. And the number is irrelevant. Point is, you said there was "zero economic incentive". I'm saying there was plenty of incentive. Perhaps that wasn't your incentive, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Because it existed for others, and given that it was their primary incentive, they didn't always enjoy their jobs very much.
I thought most AOT tools did tree shaking, or whole-world analysis?
