Natural fertilizer is also livestock poo and it's usually healthier (except when the livestock it comes from was fed antibiotics and its poo contains antibiotic resistant bacteria). In fact the it's exactly the waste that covers chicken shed floors, described above, that is used for organic farming.
So do "YouTube stars" most of the large channels are run by media companies either established one or ones that was set up to support the channel.

All the people they interviewed are relatively no-body they are small fish if anything their "mistake" wasn't taking it as a business they thought they can record a few videos on their phone edit them in FCP and make a metric ton of money hence the "winning the lottery" analogy that went through the article.

There aren't shortcuts in life people shouldn't expect to get paid for little to no effort put in, and yes if you are reaching 50,000 people by selling yourself you need to be willing to well whore yourself out because you are the product, if you are running a tech channel or something similar then you often run it closer to say how a TV channel would be run with different shows/segments, you can and do hire additional hosts/anchors and eventually build a whole media production group.

But even the "vlog" channels aren't a solo gig all the large ones did a behind the scenes videos which they showed just how many people are involved in producing those videos, if you have a revenue of say $500,000 you can't expect to be able to do on your own, even on half of that you can easily hire multiple people and still make a more than enough money.

Cameramen/crew, editors people to handle PR and out reach can be hired for $50K even with experience and in reality much less especially considering that given the production scope you can afford to hire people straight out of college or even high school.

To make the Global Top 1% you have to earn $32,400. [1]

Being a billionaire puts you in the top .00003% of human. There are ~2200 billionaires out of 7.55 billion people.
Over the last several years I gradually changed from being very salty and grumpy -- "FFS, these goofy kids get to squeal on air and get rich and buy a house I won't likely have at 50, WTF is that!!!" -- to basically accepting how most of our current world's economy works and I moved to the milder attitude of "hey, if you can make it work then more power to you, and good job!".

I think the only bad thing in this picture is their initial huge success, like you seem to believe as well. This produces very unrealistic future expectations and the cognitive dissonance becomes nigh-impossible to face in the aftermath.

This leads to articles such as this one.

In my eyes everybody should learn to work hard and the value of money but some are skipping these steps with a big initial success and when reality finally kicks in, they are much less prepared to face it.

Sad, but it's part of one's own personal development. Can't be avoided.
Everybody recommends it for no particular reason, and then I read one anonymous post ripping it apart in detail. I’m strongly inclined toward believing the latter and massively discounting most people’s opinion as unfounded, assuming they didn’t read it, and are just trying to convince others that they did. Is this the right way to think about this?
You're right! Let's start looking for flying apes based on the legend of harpies and Icarus.
This is, in my opinion, one of the biggest reasons for why anonymity is so important. Do you know what you call a person who never changes his view, even in rather extreme ways? Somebody who has the worldview of a child.

I give extensive thought and research to most, and I'd like to imagine all, things I believe. Yet because of this my views change somewhat regularly as more evidence comes to light, or past evidence I relied on is shown to be doubtful. And consequently if you took my views over time as a 'blog', I'd seem to contradict myself constantly over the years - which ironically would be quite well on that path to moron categorization.

I think this is yet another reason any form of social media, under actual identity, is just a bad idea. It encourages people to double down even when they know they're wrong for fear of the evolution of their views being used against them. Get sufficiently far into the spotlight and you'll no longer be able to make a single statement without fear of it being scrutinized, analyzed, and ultimately weaponized against you if possible. And it never ends. Did you hear Einstein was a racist? Yeah, totally. Because the media got their hands on a handful of private observations he wrote in his diary in the early 1920s...
Note that it is not an "instance of Linux". Microsoft's nomenclature for these NT subsystems is effectively to name the part that the Windows NT kernel substitutes for. There is no Linux in the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

The key question is what profession has a name that rings similar, but what are your other options as a fairly clever person with a quantitative streak.

In the US, finance is an obvious example.

> Most people who get a degree in finance don't end up working in finance, at least that's the case in Australia and New Zealand from the people I know.

I'm not an expert on OZ/NZ, but guessing that's because the financial sector in the US is several orders of magnitude larger.
> things like code maintainability, coding "standards", and TDD, go out the window during actual development

As someone with experience in both academic and professional programming, I'd say that the difference is that while in the professional world those principles may be sacrificed at times, in the academic world you are lucky to work with someone who even knows what they are, much less how to implement them.
That was interesting, thanks.

But you might be pleased that the most modern system at least in Finland actually has little of the same features than the romans had. If you look at the same membrane I posted earlier, it has little knobs that hold it little bit away from the wall:

I don't know the English word for it. It's not perfect, but lot better than couple decades ago. They used to paint the concrete with tar. This "patolevy" is cheaper, easier to install and allows little bit of ventilation.
Scary awesome ones that make noodles. :)

Just so other readers don't mistake this for what it is: this is a pretty common technique in JS sizecoding and it's by no means Notch's invention (and he doesn't claim that it is).
I was recently at BornHack2018, a small security camp for the 3rd summer this year held on the island of Bornholm.

The organisers also run BornFiber who are connecting the entire island with optical broadband.

BornFiber is a good example of how anyone with the right skill can start a fiber provider here in the nordics.

I'm glad to see this philosophy being adopted by the US.

However. Once they have fiber they still need some ISP and that's where the national ISPs come in. Thankfully we have plenty of options here but I hear things aren't as good in the US.
- Balanced team (product/design/eng)

- Team standup

- Iteration planning once a week. (No sprints, thank you)

- Retros late in the week preferably with optional beer/wine/cheese & feels.

- Tests

- Pairing (PRs are mostly useless)

- ci/cd

- PM can click a button to release to prod whenever they want

Change:

- lean into remote teams/core hours. 9-6 wears on you.

- Pick stacks more objectively instead of whatever people happen to like.
> The problem with the idea of the midlife "crisis" is that it's more a period of change and not all crisis.

I see what you mean, but to be fair the term "crisis" does mean just that: a turning point.

> I guess any activity that requires repetition becomes bleak sooner or later because brain craves variety.

You nailed it.

And that's a huge problem for the current economical state of affairs; people start enthusiastically but eventually want to move on. By that time however, they have a family to care for, mortgage where they cannot miss a single installment, are generally tired, and cannot afford to make a decisive U-turn in their lives.

It's extremely saddening, I watched many bright and smiley people turn into grumpy drones because of that tendency. One of the worst things you could see in life. :(
Yeah, imagine if the cockroach containment breaks and they start to roam freely into neighbouring factories, office buildings or worse, homes. Expect properties near cockroach food recycling factories to be quite cheap.
I personally use custom CSS to make the dimmed comments black when I hover them, so I can more easily read them if I so choose.

I don't really have an issue with comment dimming. It shows that a significant number of users find the comment to be more noise than signal, so that those who wish to avoid such can do so easily.

I think I've seen some pre-collapsed threads here as well... specifically ones where an HN administrator has taken some sort of action and commented on that.

It's frightening how politicians with such little knowledge and understanding of certain subjects have so much power to create legislation about those subjects. But apparently that's how we have built our civilization, through trial and error.
I originally phrased that sentence as "the 1% and the remaining 99%" but I changed it to "the 1%ers". I realised it isn't a 1-99% of the global population, but my understanding of the term "one percent-ers" is that it described the elite rich amongst even the elite rich, i.e. the multiple billionaires that are few and far between in society.

Can’t watch, but I’m pretty sure this is more due to caffeine and NSAID abuse than exercise.
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. I think it's an extremely positive thing for society that people who are dumb enough to squander their fortunes are given an opportunity to squander it, especially if those fortunes are unearned. It's very meritocratic. I hope Las Vegas is filled with the children of billionaires.

Well it's all phases, is it not? Who says you will have a perfect idea at 16 about what will make you happy until you die? That's definitely not how humans work.

All of us know people who did U-turns in their lives at 30+. Some even at 50 or 60.

I don't like big buttons at the bottom can I remove it?
Not sure if I get your point.

The mainframe ones, are just like any other OS, code gets generated at installation time, then they are OS processes just like any other.

Java and MSIL depend on how they get used.

Both have bytecode verifiers, and multiple ways to deploy.

Either as single runtime, where strong typing plays the role of sandboxing, or as multiple processes/containers.

Just to use .NET as example, not going to make an exhaustive list.

.NET Micro Framework deployed on Netduino, the runtime is the OS, only strong typing takes place.

.NET Framework on Windows, and .NET Core on Windows/Mac/Linux, each CLR instance gets their own OS process, which might be additionally wrapped into an OS container.

.NET Core on UWP, applications run as separate sandboxed process using the UWP sandbox model.

Xamarin on iOS runs with the iOS sandbox model, after AOT compiling for deployment.

Xamarin on Android, runs with the Android sandbox model where binary code gets dynamically loaded into ART instance, sandboxed via SELinux and Linux container mechanisms.

And regarding security, Web Assembly still fails short of preventing memory corruption inside of the loaded module.

I was hoping pointers would be tagged, but that doesn't seem to be part of the design goals.
> But of course, that's a silly thing to argue.

I don't see how that's a silly thing to argue. Or maybe, what's actually argued is something slightly different. You don't just call "Gell-Mann Amnesia" upon spotting a simple jargon mistake and call all news bullshit. But people have different expertise. You, me and others here know our CS; many of us also know our maths & physics, and derived specializations ranging from batteries to rocketry. We can routinely spot nonsense in news stories within those domains. Then, we all have friends who are knowledgeable in other areas. Myself, I have a historian in my circle, whose pastime is debunking nonsense written within his field of expertise. If you ask around, between yourself and your friends, you can spot the same reporting problems emerging across many domains. A pattern emerges.

That's not to say that good journalism doesn't exist. I maintain that good stories, and good journalists, are few and far between. You may read a solid, trustworthy[0] report on an important topic every year. Or every month, if you're good at curating your news experience. But these good stories are not what majority of people read most of the time; using them as defense of modern journalism is just plain motte-and-bailey. Regular people read regular news, with clickbait headlines, bad reporting, lowest-effort articles and no attempt at being accurate.

You are quite right, the Chinese stock market is relatively small compared to the size of the economy, which is why it’s wild swings and their cack handed managment of it has done limited damage. The point is that just having enormous powers of executive action is no guarantee that action is going to be effective or even competently executed. Their mismanagement of the markets was just a case in point.

Eventually the Chinese government is going to face a real, full bore economic crisis. Hopefully that’s a long way off and they will learn many lessons before then.
