Congratulations! This is a blessing, not a burden. You are not "average." You saw something in this business that made you want to work there, you took stock and held it, and it paid off. Some luck, sure, but also good business sense. You're also good with money, not average. How many 43 year old's do you know that have a house and two cars that are paid for? Nothing average there.
Focus on you and your family, not on the money. Take this opportunity to teach your children about money and giving, go back to school, or follow that passion you've always had.

As far as what to do now, find a good family attorney, you now need a will! He or she can also help with the money. I think putting it in a 6 month CD so you can take time to think about your future is a great idea. That way, when everyone comes to you for a loan, and they will, you can say, sorry, the money is all tied up now. Take some of the money and enjoy it. Go on a nice family vacation, buy that new car you always wanted, donate to your church, the Salvation Army, Red Cross, or your neighbor who is down on his luck and needs some help. In the interim, keep the simple life you have, keep working, and feel good about yourself. You don't seem average to me, I think you're a very smart guy. Congratulations again, and good luck! Tom.
The current economic model is by no means a rule of nature that humans need to follow unless they disappear. That model gives power into the hands of the minority that possesses the most capital (as machines or money to buy machines), up until now that capital has needed workers to create useful stuff, I agree with you that automation is causing that less and less workers are needed to create value, causing a widening of the inequality gap.

The solution to that problem is not to stop working on AI, it is to rethink how capital and power is shared among the society. Indeed advanced AI and automation may well be our way out of the exploitation of man by man.
I don't know of any employer I've ever had that would be ok with me sharing strategic information. This sounds entirely normal to me.
7 Best Programming Languages to Learn for a Career in Cyber Security
So, like every VC-backup SV startup does for the web services they provide?
It is used for censorship plenty, for suppressing the disapproved without rational thought. There are 'ugly laws' on the books because of a bullshit misinterpretation of biblical passage that images seen by a pregnant mother could cause the child to be formed accordingly - never mind that the whole thing is essentially a miracle. Otherwise they wouldn't bother encoding 'common sense' livestock techniques in their holy books! They would leave it for their 'animal husbandry manuals'.

So now they have an excuse to get all of thus unsightly severely maimed Civil War Veterans reduced to begging out of the way. It isn't that we don't want to provide for them at all or have to look at them but it is for the children!

That bit of stupidity got left on the books until the 70s - mostly since it got forgotten until it came up as an excuse for the police to be dicks. Then there are the similar rationales of 'we have to discriminate against gays because they are all sexual predators'.
I assume by "political will" you mean the will of the politicians to do the opposite of what the people that elect them want. Otherwise, considering Paris Accords and such, one would imagine the French are all for green policies. Turns out all that was "political will".
I came home from a trip one day and there was a beautiful cat sitting in my driveway. He was super friendly and chatty. It was getting cold, so we let him sleep just inside the front door on a towel. In the morning he would wait to be let out.

Before he arrived we had a problem with mice and rats. He immediately went to work cleaning up the area, and leaving us tributes on the front porch. When we didn't take them, he would finish them off. He only came in at night, and loved being outside.

He did get into it with a raccoon (we assume). He had a tooth imbedded near his tail. Had to have minor surgery and wear a cone and stay inside for 3 weeks. I caught this while he was using the litter in front of the house: https://i.redd.it/i8gwk5nod2321.png

I agree with others that outdoor cats can live a shortened life. He was with us for 6 years and was probably a few years old when he arrived.

If your cat likes the leash and walking, it will be a treat. I think lots of cats might not like it.
Salts make no difference here. They do not harden passwords, but make an otherwise deterministic process random to ensure no two inputs result in the same output.

Of course, using a slower hash algorith will increase the time required to break it... but we know the majority of sites don't adequately protect passwords.

There are 331 breaches on HIBP. 108 used MD5, 43 used SHAx... meaning half of all firms used algorithms which we can break quickly & easily.
Plus they said the same about Japan and Korean electronics and cars, and look how that turned out...

Armchair theoretical physics philosophizing— if complexity (~spacetime) inside the black hole is growing at the fastest rate possible, where does all this stuff go? It doesn’t stay within the black hole, instead it fuels dark energy expansion throughout the universe, through some unknown process akin to how oceanic subduction of tectonic plates recycles continental land through mountain-building and volcanism. There is some mysterious “mantle” of the universe where all this space gets tumbled and transformed into dark energy expansion.

Possible? Or crackpot theory?
The analogy works better than you think - gravity is responsible for the avalanche. They are all responding to irresistible forces.
I had the good fortune to live with the same cat from when I was 11-30. He was an indoor cat for the first large chunk of his life. In his waning years we escorted him into the back yard for short visits. He loved it, but at the slightest sign of “bigger creatures” or anything spooky to him he’d book it indoors.
I know Hacker News doesn't like change, finding value in keeping the UI simple. And I really really like that. But maybe there should be some little dot one can click that shows a history of original post titles / URLs.

This doesn't directly address your valid complaint. But I think it might be a palatable remedy.
That is because they will be busy dealing with the inevitable wars that catastrophic climate effects would trigger. If we do nothing about climate change there will be a major shift in which parts of the world are habitable and where food can be efficiently produced, and that will almost certainly mean wars will be fought.

The problem is that to do anything about climate change we are going to have to change the way we live our lives. We need to be willing to spend the time and money and effort on a massive reorganization of our civilization to make it less dependent on fossil fuels, which among other things will require us to use less energy to live our lives. The sad part is that most of the work will not require new technologies or significant research efforts; we just need to bite the bullet and deploy the technologies we already have.
What you're saying is absolute bullshit.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/09/uber-ceo-says-2019-is-the-...

He publicly stated over a year ago that 2019 was the year to IPO. To characterize this as a "rush" is being disingenuous. The 36 months that you're pointing to was never public, so who knows if was even correct or what the context was. His first PUBLIC statement above was 2019, and that was only 3 months after he joined Uber, so 2019 has been the year he has ALWAYS stated publicly.
That's an interesting moral problem. I don't begrudge those clinics their choice. Maybe they think they're protecting the other patients in the waiting room.

But what would you think of a doctor who declines to treat an alcoholic because the alcoholic persists in his drinking? Does a doctor have a duty to care for people regardless of their actions?
Feel free to explore the sources here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_predation_on_wildlife

"Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. Scientifically sound conservation and
policy intervention is needed to reduce this impact."
>She created a subsidiary company in Hong Kong, bought products made in the US and sold them to Iran.

Which is within their rights to do. US sanctions against Iran are not approved by UN or the EU. It's just a one-sided US whimsy.

Not to mention how many times US companies sold stuff to countries that they are supposedly at odds with, including Iran.

As a former BigLaw lawyer, I find this attitude very misguided and mildly depressing. I’ve worked with good lawyers and bad at firms with big brand names. As firms consolidate further into thousands of lawyers under one name, the variable quality of their advice only increases.

Anyway, even a junior attorney should know that answering the question “what will we do with your data?” is table stakes for putting a form online, especially one that is soliciting your private business information.

(Edited to clarify that even where privacy policy is not required, you still should tell people what you’re going to do with their submissions.)
>The video you linked to is about architecture correct?

Yes and no, it‘s more about a design mindset.

>And your thesis is a good understanding of architecture will help with design as well?

Sure. You don‘t need to know how to build a house though. It‘s more about the motivations of the designers and the practicality and purpose of the designs, how designers think.

You can see similar debates between architecture and typography when it comes to ornamentation, the usefulness and practicality of it, and the appeal to conservative, progressive or even post modern audiences.

That‘s also why it‘s similar to politics, the‘re fanatics on either side. If you understand this it will be easier to find a balance in your style that is right for the audience you design for.
Note that this includes refined product, which is massive in the US. When I first read this wikipedia page, it was a huge surprise how world-dominant the industry got in the last 10 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_refining_in_the_Unit...
Which is also a good comparison with my cat. I give him food anytime he asks. He was homeless before I moved into this apartment. I consider it a chance to “make up” for lost happy experiences.
This is why you must satisfy your partner
No, he did not individually make those things. That is a phenomenal insult to the HUNDREDS of people that did the hard work of making those products.
>Why would the US persecute this particular case so vigorously? Extradition is not very common for crimes of this level of severity.

To send a signal "we can go tough if you don't sit back and take it on our trade terms (which have nothing to do with Iran)"
You may have just convinced me that this technology needs to be banned outright.
Looking at the best software, the sass world has created, Google - it's orders of magnitude more valuable than any PC based software.

I hope to god that phrase comes back to bite you in the ass.
The article falls a little far on the side of saying there is nothing wrong with a 60-something year old. There is a lot wrong with a 60-something year old. It might not yet rise to the level of constant debilitating pain and loss of basic function, but it is there, and accelerating. The high-functioning 60-something doesn't have great odds of becoming a high-functioning 70-something, or of continuing to evade cancer.

If a 20-year old had the skin and cardiovascular system of a high functioning 60 year old, they would be in and out of the hospital, and undergoing serious therapy to prevent a predicted death in their 30s.

Rejuvenation therapies are best applied in advance, when the damage of aging is low. Don't play the game of saying that a 60-something who can walk around without a cane is just fine. They are not just fine. They are candidates for every form of therapy we can build that repairs the molecular damage of aging.

Every 60-year should be taking senolytics today, right now, for example. Their good-for-a-60-year-old metrics would be greatly improved by doing so.

I agree with half of what the general is saying: Google should stay the fuck away from China.
This is typically what you go to friends/family or local high net worth individuals to raise.

If you are wanting to raise less than 50k make sure you have really thought it through, too small of a round means you may not give yourself enough runway to make enough progress. At the same time, remember there are numerous businesses every year that start on tiny amounts of money and become profitable very quickly.

Not advocating this, but I know multiple successful businesses that were financed on credit cards when they only needed a modest amount to get started.
>Based on interviews with Chinese defectors and newly declassified, previously undisclosed national security documents, The Hundred-Year Marathon reveals China’s secret strategy to supplant the United States as the world’s dominant power, and to do so by 2049, the one-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic.

Why would it have to be a "secret strategy"? Of course they'd like to replace the US as the world's dominant power...
Hobby 3D is geat for me. Find some DnD minis I need, load 36 or so to a SD card, go feed into printer, and 24h later I have $100 worth of minis printed for $0.50 in plastic. A $200 ender3 pays for itself real quick.
I think there are a few omissions here.

1. There are three (not two) choices in modern life: follow the law, break the law, break the law with anonymity. The last still carries risk, but not nearly with the certainty of the second.

2. Between this and your replies downthread, we have to be clear that "society" consists of three parts: government, citizens, and capital (aka corporations). All of these influence the creation and enforcement of laws.

Because of the last, I would assert that in modern capitalist democracies, it is possible to break the law yet be in complete moral alignment with the citizens of your society.

An example would have been the original protests against the Tea Act of 1773.

Games on iOS: Flight Control, Flight Control HD and Flight Control Rocket, all by Firemint (later Firemonkeys after being bought by EA). I have an old device on which I can play a couple of these until those devices die.

Features to add: I wouldn’t really add anything more than what they had.

Pay for resurrection: Yes, I’d certainly be willing to pay for their resurrection. But EA is a lousy company for games. So I have no hopes of this happening.
Ask HN: New tools for remote teams
I'm starting a small side project with the goal of creating useful tools for fully or partially remote teams.

I think the main collaboration tools (chat, video, screen sharing) have been covered pretty well, but there seems to be a lack of more "team management" type tools.

Some ideas include:

- Onsite trip planning (A flight aggregator but you can input numerous departure cities and find the best combination to bring the team together at various destinations)

- Quick timezone availability/scheduling integration with G suite.

- Onboarding. Send schwag to new employees at their house.

As a remote employee/founder what tools do you wish you had in your day to day arsenal that don't exist?
I hear you! More flexible export options will be introduced in the future for both format and size. Starting with fewer options and focusing on actual use cases is the priority for now. Thanks.
Why Louisiana Stays Poor [video]
In rural settings there are more foxes, coyotes, and hunters which are dangers to cats. They can also get stuck and die, or injured and die because they can't come back. None of that happens with indoor cats, urban or rural.
Yes, I would assume those executives get business visas where required, just as I do. In addition to meetings and conferences, those visas at least implicitly allow for continuing to do whatever is required for their "day job" back home.

But mostly, US and EU citizens in particular have visa waivers or, at most, a visa on arrival that lets them do normal business travel things. They just can't take a local job.

To the upthread comment, neither myself nor anyone I know has ever been aware of any particular tax implications associated with ordinary business travel.
Electrification is critical in India to reduce air pollution - much of which comes from the inefficient domestic fires used for cooking and heating.

Thankfully, renewable energy is expanding rapidly and the government has ambitious targets of 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022 and 275 GW by 2027, up from around 75 GW today.
As usual, this is entirely a question-of-facts. In this particular case the relevant questions-of-facts are: what affordances the organic life provide, what affordances the GM life provide, and how do those two sets' sums-of-value compare.
I think oaths are completely outmoded as a social construct - everyone knows that people lie regardless of what they claim. The actual teeth to it were their own sources of problems, guilds and not being able to run your business if violated. They were supplanted by licenses.

Even if we somehow had that measure in place it would be a cure worse than the disease - well you can't get a job doing something legitimate because it turns out that your safety human recognition algorithm got abused by somebody else? Just crime for you to make a living.
I'd argue that the Itanium did "shake the world" due to the vast hype. In a sense it killed the server RISC processors (MIPS, SPARC, HP-PA) because the competition was so afraid of what Intel could bring to bear.
Honestly, I thought this was the weakest point of an otherwise very interesting interview.

Where is the evidence that it is the baby boomers who are viewing climate change in dystopian terms? For most of their lives it has been a bad thing in the future. The current young are the first generation growing up with evidence of it happening and knowledge that they’ll be around to experience the downsides.

I see much more concern about climate change from younger people. Maybe Adam Curtis would just say the baby boomers are more fatalistic about it.
It depends, but if your cat is young and the cat you introduce is a kitten, and your cat is demanding a lot of play time from you, chances are a second cat will work. If your cat is old and cranky, not so much. It will definitely take a couple weeks of contact for them to work it out.
Even if they don't get along particularly well, it still might be a net win.
Thanks. I hope you will find it useful.
There are news reports suggesting that she was arrested for arranging bank transfers from banks in the US to Iran, using false identify for the sender of the funds. The further suggestion has been made that these transfers caused several US banks to be subjected to fines under the sanctions laws of the US. The timing makes it seems as though this is all about the trade war and Chinese technology, but it sounds to me as though it is a violation of US money laundering laws, and pertains to money transfers that originated on US soil. We will see, as details emerge.
@dang I know this isn't done often or without cause, and it certainly serves a value.

But as we grow and the necessity of url subs increase... parent does have a valid point. Particularly if changes are UI-invisible. Even a "[changed]" tag suffix might help.
I also found it pretty shocking to learn (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/12/gutenberg-accessibi...) that @photomat did hold a potential professional engagement hostage over Marcy Sutton’s personal blog decision... although he seemingly did reverse that, but still, the whole attitude is fairly disturbing in doesn’t help where there already are lots of emotions involved.
To be fair, that's not all it leads to. I'm not saying that it was the best way to do it, but the energy industry over the last ~150 years has driven nearly unimaginable increases in human development, standard of living, poverty reduction, and technology.

That said, in 2018 we have little excuse for our current track. We couldn't have done solar or nuclear instead of oil 100 years ago, but we can today, and the fact that we're not is shameful.
True, but I'd phrase it as "no big company is actually a what-you-think-it-is company."
A rising tide raises all boats. All things being equal its better for a Chinese to be in a strong China than a second tier one. Plus, the average Chinese doesn't necessarily share the concerns of western observers, they have had a different culture and values of their own for millennia, and a state that wasn't entirely different than their current.

Besides, anybody can ask the same. If the US keeps its power or gains even more, will the cops stop killing black citizens? Will the big corps stop have politicians in their pockets? Will Wall Street lackeys get out of power? Will mass surveillance stop? Will wars for oil and "national interests" stop? Will the middle and working class stop declining? Will healthcare be affordable?
Their seems to be a concerted effort to propagandize the population into believing that lowered living standards is a GOOD thing

Not being able to get a full time job with benefits isn't bad, it's the Gig Economy!

Not being able to afford a house or car isn't bad, it's the future!

Not being able to afford to have kids isn't bad, it's more freedom to do what you want!

Not being able to afford to retire isn't bad, it's empowering!

All the while the gap between rich and poor continues to grow. Globalism is neo-feudalism, offshoring and massive immigration lowers the cost of labor for the rich and the result is death of the middle class and the creation of a global equilibrium for wages.

Riots like the Yellow Vests in France are going to become common if nothing changes, people aren't going to just sit back for much longer
Yeah I’m the original poster and it wasn’t me who made the change; not sure how it happened.
What do you think the control the Court is needed for?
You, as an employee, should attempt to change the laws such that the unethical actions become illegal? That sounds so farcical. Bringing light to the unethical practices (leaking) is the quickest way to get them under public scrutiny and possibly begin the process of legal change.
