> I was 3 days late on my rent this month and now have to appear in court to explain why i haven't paid. I fully expect that to lead to an eviction.

This is strange. If you paid, why are you going to court?

Normally, if someone does not pay on time, they may be served a late rent notice. This is an official warning and has a deadline by which a payment must be made. If you miss that payment, the landlord can file an eviction case.

You paid. Why would the landlord take you to court?

I am not a lawyer, but even if the above is true, it seems that a judge would not allow an eviction based just on a single 3-day late rent payment.

You have a bit more time to get yourself together.
I'm nervous about a Pocket news feed in Firefox. The idea sounds promising, but in practice Pocket's Discovery feature surfaces a kind of pseudo-personalized clickbait that is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Here's some of the stories my Pocket Discovery feed found for me today:

"Why your brain hates other people"

"The most hated Bachelor in America explains himself"

"You're doing Scrum wrong and here's how to fix it"

"Fund managers warn a downturn is coming and it's going to be ugly"

"The dangers of belly fat"

It's lots of outrage & negativity, and I imagine it's because that's the kind of article people are actually reading & sharing, so that's what feeds the recommendation algorithms.

I don't mind if Pocket develops a personalized profile of my interests, but I'd like it to surface what I want to see. Right now YouTube does a better job of detecting my interest in music hardware & album production techniques than Pocket does.

I don't want to take away from the results from the study. But it would be a great area to study the relationship between men and interaction with women, especially those displaying toxic femininity, in the context of fatherhood.

Don't know if anyone coined the term toxic femininity, but it should obviously be a field of study, just as toxic masculinity is.

Don't give up on tomatoes! You say that they do need maintenance, but you plant them, water them, give them sun - I bet you can automate a lot these steps - watering and nutrition, for example. You can give them extra boost with some artificial light and heat. You can do it!

In computing we are constantly re-inventing things we threw away..
Delivery. Although it's a fairly new concept with US grocery stores, supermarkets in the UK have offered delivery to your door (or even a place of choosing inside your house/apartment etc!) for over a decade. I just place my order online, pick a 1-hour timeslot between 7AM and 11PM that i'd like it delivered (any day of the week) and it magically arrives.

If anything, it's even more convenient than going in person. I'm not spending ages having to drive to the supermarket, trudge round picking up everything, going through the checkout, loading up the car, driving back etc. I can place the order any time, from anywhere and it arrives when I want it to.
Why is it hard to do sane policy?

I'm surprised you're surprised. We get similar stories on HN from time to time and they are almost always developers in America. I'm not passing judgement but it seems OP was not able to save much month to month. Earning doesn't automatically scale with years. As most here suggest, OP should resort to contacting everyone they can expect to care. If that support network falls through then they are really left alone. It is very rough to "fall off the tracks." Homeless aren't all drug abusers.

Personally I think programming is not necessarily a safe career choice here.
This is perhaps the point. In science critiquing ideas is not what you do, at least beyond ensuring that they are logically consistent. Instead, you critique results. Relativity is something that, intuitively, sounds completely foolish and plainly absurd. Yet it is absolutely and completely correct, so far as we can currently determine. Or take penicillin - that treating infections with something that emerges as a byproduct of the blue green rot in decaying matter is a good idea is something that would run contrary to any person of any sensibility - and indeed, its utilization was actually neglected for many years after its discovery due to the presumption that such an illogical result simply could not be correct.

In the social sciences this point has been lost since the inability to perform meaningful tests means all we're left with are ideas. Yet we can see quantifiable changes in society in the longrun over time and many of the views evangelized within the paper have certainly become more common place - with the authors going so far as to label them "the new ideals". Yet the results we can measure have been absolutely atrocious. But there seems to be little to no interest in consider why this may be. Instead it's onward to ever more new ideas supported by little more than intuition and studies that increasingly often cannot even be replicated built upon other studies that can't be replicated. And even this study builds upon that house of cards stating that previous studies trying to link what they linked were unsuccessful, yet with their 'new and improved' method of qualifying masculinity, they were able to finally show a link.

True. Agree. I did not think of that possibility.
Life is short, so work on things that matter.

People you love can be gone tomorrow.

You too - so prepare for that.

You don't make friends at job, you will be fired as soon as they notice you have some family problems influencing your work. There will be no talking, no asking anything... and then your "friends" will silently agree with everything the manager does.

Read more - it really helps with anything you will do.

Write more - get a pen and a notebook, not a computer.

People will disagree with the brightest and most true thing you will write - just don't care as soon as what you wrote is true.
"Significantly better" is a stretch.

They don't refresh the hardware aggressively because they just flat out don't need to. It's not about running down the Mac, if that was their aim they wouldn't have spent tons of engineering resources on the redesigned super-slim MBPs with new keyboard design and brand new whizzy touch bar. Those features may or may be problematic or even flat out mistakes, but they're not a sign of lazy lack of focus.

The thing is the vast majority of Mac customers don't know what a clock speed is, don't know the difference between RAM memory and Flash memory, and don't care, and are buying these things by the truckload. Apple has always been tardy about hardware updates. It looks like right now they really have actually dropped the ball, and at last they recognised that with the Mac Pro. However all the actual evidence points to this is simply a miscalculation, not a conscious choice.

"Imma make lots of money from this"
As a manager, I recommend everyone to internalise this idea from the parent post: sometimes the quickest career, and being promoted earlier, might not the best path long term.

The "first impression" that the parent created is a powerful image that can burn in the brain of the surrounding people and follow him throughout his career, in exchange for perhaps 1 year lag in "official" experience and remuneration during 1 or 2 years early in his career. On the other hand, being promoted too early and fucking up can unfortunately have an analogous effect, and throw a career overboard.

This is not fair, but people's brain work like that.

It's often possible for people to shift the risk towards other entities. In the absence of criminal misconduct, if a corporation goes bankrupt, it wont affect the shareholders or executives. They can still walk away with huge paychecks and bonuses from preceding years.

It's pretty simple; create a corporation with yourself as CEO, make that corporation take a huge loan using overvalued corporate assets (paid for by someone else) as collateral, then as the CEO, give yourself huge paychecks and bonuses and then run the corporation into the ground over the course of a few years. The lower the interest rate, the more time you have to enrich yourself before the company goes belly up.

Finally a CRUD tool that links to just about any data source (including spreadsheets), does not require desktop software, generates properly responsive applications, needs no maintenance or upgrades to be secure and will presumably be compatible with Google forms.
Just use typing.NamedTuple.
Tools like that can be extremely productive, and easy for people of no or low programming ability to utilize.

But just like excel, it's a double edged sword, as people "specialize" in it and create monstrous abomination applications way larger than the tool is fit to sustain. It becomes a rat maze of gotchas and obscure tricks, and nobody but the original creator really knows what's going on.

The comparison with VCR makes sense.
People who like thinking seem to overestimate the power of ideas in shaping the world. My interpretation is that it's probably the typical arrogance of the intellectual letting itself through.

For example, there are arguments that the renaissance was a result of the social and economic conditions created by the black death, not the intention of any human actor. The post-WW2 social wellness a result precisely of the war, and so on.

Not everybody agrees on what "improve mankind and society" should mean, so you're back to either submitting to a common concept of objective truth, where the "bad" but realistic model wins, or political arm wrestling for your ideas to win against the other's (on the basis of faith if you're in the middle ages, or whim if you're a postmodernist).

A quibble - in space applications, "nuclear heat source" makes me think a radioisotope thermal generator (i.e. a lump of an unstable isotope decaying naturally). That's what's used on the Curiosity and Mars 2020 rovers. Kilopower, on the other hand, is a for-real, critical-mass nuclear reactor.

For the Moon landings, the film was not normal photographic film, it was a special thin base film mounted in special backs that allowed for 160/200 frames per back, instead of the 12 exposures you get with normal 120 film on a regular Hasselback back. Not sure what they used for the scouting missions.

Weirdly enough they used color slide film for the Moon missions. I never understood why. Color slide film has much less dynamic range compared to color negative film (5-6 stops vs. 12-14 stops, depending on the specific films) and it is much more difficult to expose for correctly (in fact, most pictures taken on the Moon are severely under/overexposed). One explanations I heard was that there was no color reference on the moon, so they didn't know how to print from negative film, but that doesn't make any sense to me. The Moon is very gray, and they could have taken a color chart with them...

Extradiction would be unlikely for such crime(even cases of terrorism can take years for extradiction, or may not even take place). But it would be possible to get them arrested in India.

That said, there are literally millions of people in India who have graduated with whatever degree/certificate, can speak English, and are willing to work in any kind of scam, as long as they get money to buy food. You can setup a office in Noida/Mumbai/Pune/Bangalore etc, and hire these people for dime a dozen. Things getting risky? Close everything and start anew in another city.

Problem lies in poor law enforcement in India, and lack of awareness among old americans.
