Not sure the HN community can answer this question. Or maybe some of us are billionaires?

There are no-money-problems and to-much-money-problems. I think the later is often misunderstood. Lawsuits are usually a pain, not only for billionaires but for wealthy entities in general. If people know you have a lot of money then they'll try to get a piece of the pie, including the government. So yeah, might be a little stressful.

Though my guess is that if you made to the top and became a billionaire from your hard work, then you can certainly handle stress and anxiety. You might even be a freakin guru at it.

In other words, money is a tool. People get happiness not from tools, but what can be done with them.
Disclaimer: I'm no billionaire. Just a bit older, and experiencing perhaps a bit of wisdom -- and no small measure of regret -- from my own life experiences.

Take care of your physical health, and your well-being -- including especially your day-to-day environment and social relationships.

Money makes some of this easier. On the other hand, if you don't do these things, no amount of money will fix it. (And many health problems, no amount of money can fix or undo. You want to prevent them occurring, in the first place.)

P.S. I do know a few significantly rich people who seem fairly happy. And the above is what I notice.

Financial constraints -- and bad teaching and communication about same -- kept me from addressing and moving away from some very significant stressors. Anxiety became severe and chronic and fed into a downward spiral. Despite having very high intellectual marks, from multiple sources, as well as the reputation for being a nice guy (hopefully, without the quotes: "nice guy").

Actually, earlier than that, family and school compelled me to endure chronic abuse and bullying, with no effective help from the responsible adults. That seemed to initiate the core of the anxiety.

Both the family and the rather well-endowed school system plausibly had the resources to make things different, but they didn't.

Back to my point: Pay attention, and use the money to take care of yourself and your environment. This also makes essential social connection easier -- feeling better about yourself. Best proposal I have.

> What if I label my package to look _very_ similar to a meat product, but put the words "not real meat"

Then I think you'd have a complaint under existing laws, rather than trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill. The same would be true in reverse, if a product claimed prominently to be tofu based but contained meat.

I think it's very, very telling that part of the desired result for the meat industry is to prevent these products from sharing shelf space.

>Lenders have said they’re worried they’d be left on the hook if a borrower lost money on a digital currency bet and couldn’t repay.

Weird, isn't the whole point of setting a credit limit that you assess how much risk a given person can sustain?

Seems to me like banks want to hand out high credit limits to entire overspending, under the assumption they can make their money back twice - through reposession + obscenely high APRs in the 25%+ range.

Meanwhile, every time I go to a casino ATM I see prominent signage on how to use one's credit card to obtain casino credit. They don't block these transactions, they just factor the existence into the calculations for a credit line...
The Telecommunications Act that gives them any authority on the matter at all essentially created an exception to label broadband as Title I. In 05 the Supreme Court ruled this distinction to be legal, and as far as I know there has not been a high court upholding the FCC's reclassification. So yes, if they classify it as Title II they have the authority, but it's unclear if they are allowed to classify it such, and if they are can they change it back to Title I.
Based on the title I was hoping more emphasis on the interesting userland bits, leaving the boring kernel parts to Linux. I feel that osdev generally focuses too much on the well-trodden elementary basic building blocks, and less on actual systems design, which has left the community with endless half-baked (generally more or less posixy style) kernels and few novel userlands.

Android is great example how you can do interesting OS development work by building upon stable foundations, focusing on userland, but also not fearing to poke kernel when needed.

I don't mean to disparage anyone, least of all the repo here that seems pretty nice resource for what it is. Just the title happened to tickle my imagination just right.
Right, more like Brave New World than 1984, I reckon. But that's not to say either style has to be dystopic.

I have something like that now for my MacBook Air. I think it's called a Chug Plug, or something like that. Instead of using Apple's ever-changing computer-side plug, it has the very-stable-so-far electrical socket end connection. So you pop the little regional adapter off your laptop's wall wart and attach the wall wart to the portable battery so it works with every laptop Apple's made this century.

I'd just like to reemphasize what conclusions you should and shouldn't draw from an experiment being invalidated. If an experiment is run that says the sky is blue, then its invalidation does not mean that the sky is not blue. It means we no longer have evidence for that conclusion. The correct answer then isn't the negation of the original study's conclusion. The correct conclusion is that we don't know or aren't sure.

Likewise, if the SPE is invalid, it doesn't imply that average people aren't capable of horrific behavior - it simply means we have less evidence to determine that than we thought we did.
The question "why is this useful?" is akin to "why do we like a thing?" and liking a thing is an opinion, and the reason for liking something carries a motivation, which differs from simply knowing what a thing is.

Why is it objectively useful? Well, it's not. Idempotency is neutral. It can be as useless as it is useful. Knowing what it is matters more than a cargo cult desire to find utility in a vocabulary quiz.

Should a test verify that an individual's opinion aligns with a trend expressing a point of view, or should it verify awareness of concepts?
For what it is worth, I tried this business model, IE: consulting focused on startups. Problem was, startups by and large are grossly undercapitalized, have huge business swings, and often you are dealing with first-time entrepreneurs who have no idea what things cost or how long they will take, but also aren't willing to be educated (because they are scared and there is a lot of risk). Point being - it's hard to sell services successfully to that kind of customer.

I should point out too that many investors want to see a team of employees, because they are investing in the strength of the personnel. So they didn't like this idea of a startup built using contract / outside talents.
For the record, I enjoyed your post. It's a great example of what clear-headed performance optimization looks like.

> Anyone with a credit card should be able to use their line of credit to purchase anything they please

There is no "should". The lenders are private companies who are lending you money at their own discretion; it's entirely their prerogative to stipulate how that money can be used. Naturally, when a certain product category has a high default rate, the lenders act in accordance with their self-interest and stop allowing their money to be squandered by blockchain gambling.

I would agree with you if this was just a list of people who think HTTP is good enough.

If you read the article it's not "HTTP is good enough" it's "HTTPS is too slow" or "HTTPS is a plot by Google to take over the web" or fundamentally misunderstanding the value proposition of HTTPS or straight up lying about what it does.

Anti-vaxxers is absolutely a valid comparison here, the people in this blog aren't just not using HTTPS, they're actively encouraging people in their capacity as professionals to avoid using it, for really dumb and dangerous reasons that don't stand up to even the slightest scrutiny.

Nvidia's new consumer cards are expected to come out in August so it may be worthwhile to wait if you can. You could either buy a new card then or get older cards at a discount when the new cards come out.

One important note is that Nvidia has partitioned their enterprise (Volta) and consumer (Turing) GPUs into two different dies. Turing is presumably more gaming focused and may not be well suited to DL. However all Volta card as of now are over $3K in price. If you do want to wait for Turing I'd wait to see the benchmarks vs the previous gen (Pascal).
>ou can withdraw cash at casino ATMs in Vegas, I know because I've (unfortunately) done it

Consider a bank that refunds ATM fees. I've withdrawn at casinos with boggling ATM fees ranging from 5.00 to 8.75 (!!). My bank has always refunded these charges.

There are several online only banks that have found it's cheaper to refund ATM fees than to maintain a branch network... Charles Schwab has been good for me so far.
How to Transition from Creative Writer to Content Marketer
"Because founders take at least 100x the risk of an early employee, and 100x the personal risk and commitment."

The risk part of this isn't remotely true in many cases,or rather it's offset by so many other benefits accruing to them. Founders generally are drawing at least a small salary and, in this context (YC/VC funded) they are not necessarily risking much if any of their own capital. Moreover they are benefitting in ways early employees don't (e.g. social/network connections).

> I doubt they would have explicitly put TCP if it was not true

I am not doubting they have some sort of user-space TCP implementation. I am trying to understand how much of TCP they moved out of the kernel. From what I can gather they still have enough of it in the kernel such that the related syscall/uIPC overhead does not allow more than the 30% performance improvement announced.

I have perfect vision in one eye and very poor vision in the other. While it's possible for me to drive without my glasses, I don't consider it safe. With one eye I can read signs, see pedestrians, cars, etc; but I find that the accuracy of my depth perception suffers. I estimate speed and distances with less precision. Try catching a baseball with one eye covered. It's possible but a lot harder.

> Because founders take at least 100x the risk of an early employee, and 100x the personal risk and commitment.

Simply untrue.

Many early startup employees work intense 12-14 hour days. Are you saying founders work 1,200-1,400 hour days?

Early startup employees also risk about the same as founders. Maybe a little less, financially.

> Founders generally aren't getting paid (at least until revenue or significant funding comes through)

That often happens fast, particularly in markets with well-established, well-oiled VC machines like SV.

Founders usually start out with under market pay, but it's maybe x3-5 under market, not x100 as you imply.

> Early startup employees have higher risk and generally more stress than at established companies, and if the market was rational, they would be compensated more, in cash, to offset this risk and stress.

You're talking about it as if it's some sort of impossibility. There's no natural law that says that early employees must get a fraction of 1% non-preferred shares and almost never make any money from it.

Early employees can and should get a bigger piece of the pie. If they don't, then it's not just something to be wistful about ("if only the market was rational!"), but there will be very real consequences, which we are already seeing: startups won't be able to hire top talent, because the top talent will go to companies that pay it better.

> Equity is not the solution, for many reasons. The biggest reason is that the founders will always value the equity higher than early employees. If not, they should not have founded the company.

So you're telling early employees working 12-14 hour days that they don't value the startup? Irrelevant, unsubstantiated nonsense. "You shouldn't get more equity, you probably don't want it anyway!". If they don't want it, or don't believe in the startup, what are they doing there?!
I don't know how you really tease them out; "standardization" efforts typically take the dialect of one place and say "well that's the standard; now everyone needs to talk like that."
That is mid level engineer in Atlanta where housing is significantly cheaper.
The sample size isn't even close to big enough to draw meaningful conclusions. The number of VC backed startups that succeed is tiny even in the general population. It helps that there are now examples like Gitlab, but ultimately the default option is still hiring local with butts-in-seats. As with most things, there are many followers and very few leaders.

However, I think economics will increasingly drive the adoption. The price of both devs and real estate is overwhelming in the major US startup hubs.

And while finding great talent is always hard, the difficulty still varies drastically by region. Eight years ago Seattle was a sweet spot with an abundance of great talent priced significantly below the bay area. Seattle's upside has since diminished as everyone and their grandmother set up engineering centers in the area, creating strong competition for talent. Two years ago, I found hiring a solid team in Tel Aviv to be significantly easier than Seattle of the same time period.

One of the nasty barriers to going remote-only is legal. Even if you limit scope to the US, each state you hire in potentially establishes a legal nexus, exposing you to yet another set of tax and employment laws. One way companies attempt to work around this is through contractor relationships, but at both the IRS and state level that doesn't always hold up to scrutiny.

If you go overseas, you also get the accounting headaches of apportioning cost-transfers to the subsidiaries and HR headaches of getting benefits and payroll setup.

But the legal, accounting, HR, and even key-hire pipelines are all things YC can help with given their scale and personal networks.

Hello Cakewalk Sonar (a popular DAW)[1]

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cakewalk_Sonar
In Scandinavia we have the term "kjæreste" which roughly translates to "most beloved". When I think about I believe it's only in Norway and Sweden we have that word. In Sweden they have the word ælskling which means much the same thing. Both used in much the same way as boyfriend/girlfriend, but without the gender and without the implied youth so can be used by both young and old.
Yeah okay.

You see, after the part your put in quotation marks I added on "at least to the company". This was meant to mean that the work you are doing is meaningful, but perhaps only to the company. Rather than working on a small part of a small part of a small part of the massive machine, you get to work on the entire thing because no one else is around to do it.

I really don't understand why I got downvoted for that. Not sure what part of the HN hivemind I upset with that, seems fairly uncontroversial.
> Majority of MS developers work on close source.

That true, but major industry shift already happened. Literally, everyone is building on top of OSS.

You get around that many CV unless your company sucks(Glassdoor reviews) or you do not want to pay(Startup).

Pre-screening is done by HR/Agency. In some cases, you have even more leads that your Requiter is cold calling. Engineer running interviews will get 10-30 CVs per position.
Honest question since I'm not familiar with the area - who is making 400k at Microsoft or Facebook? Not the typical mid-level software engineer, I'd assume. Are these product leads or head engineers making the 400k?

I have to say, I find this article highly insulting. People who are skeptical of trends being pushed in the technology ecosystem are not the same as anti-vaxxers. Frankly, people who think that blindly following the edicts of self interested corporations will keep them safe are the ones who are deluded.

There are many good reasons to be suspicious of calls to deprecate things. Very often, when Google, Apple, or Microsoft announce that something is being deprecated, it is of no benefit to the end user, and is just a flimsy way of covering up a feature regression, or worse, a self serving attack on a technology that competes with their own.

Was anyone asking for the "save" feature to be removed from HTML5 video?
Does anyone seriously think that the locking down of app stores is about helping the user be secure, and not about stamping out competition?

There is no rational reason to not continue to support HTTP indefinitely. The fact that a user could potentially be tricked into going to an insecure site means absolutely nothing, because a user could be tricked into doing anything.

The fact that a browser might not give me, the user, the choice to do something potentially dangerous is ridiculous. HTTPS is not, and probably will never be as easy to set up as HTTP. Even if you had a script that could automatically configure my server, and continue to work reliably indefinitely (and you don't) it would still be inferior to HTTP.

I can access a service over HTTP from over a decade ago, and it will still work. I want to be able to, if I want to, with little effort, set up a server that can be accessed by a web browser. I do not want to have to have any third parties involved. I also do not want to have to set up a certificate authority or anything like that.

Companies like Google benefit from making the rules of what a web browser should be. They are happy to take the hit, if it makes it harder for everyone else. Does anyone think that Amazon.com wants to pay sales taxes? No, but by pressuring the government to collect taxes on them, it harms their competition more.
