I've had a few phases were I binged a couple of his videos over the years, as such it feels like I've actually seen him kinda grow up.

I don't think it's really a "card" he consciously plays, it's much more a reflection of the culture he lives in and caters to, as a gamer.

Not all use of misogynistic language has misogynistic intent, particularly not when it's been an established part of the sub-culture. And in that context, this recent need to "enforce PCness", particularly in gaming culture [0], DID trigger a massive reactionary backlash that most of the industry and especially the mainstream seems still to be ignoring.

Gaming has always been about freedom and creativity, just hinting at intent to censorship [1] is enough to cause a, usually very loud, reaction. Right now the industry as a whole is running into a wall it won't be breaking through, instead it's paying the price by losing customers en mass. Take a look at recent EA, Ubisoft, Activision stock development and you will see exactly what I mean.

Other factors play into that as well, like over monetization of products which are often of very shallow quality. Case in point: Fallout 76

Or simply misreading what your customers actually want: Blizzard with Diablo immortal.

All these issues have brought the community to a breaking point, and now the most visible and biggest industry players are feeling the brunt of it.

Perhaps, that would mean complying with GDPR? You are obliged to remove data physically from databases upon request (including backups if possible, if not possible then keep deletion patches to be ran after backup restore!). Since you cannot continue processing data after GDPR deletion request, that could mean that a model (which is processing the data) should unlearn any knowledge of you.

Barely? Using the "safe withdrawal rate" of 4% after inflation if the money is invested, one could spend 320k a year and probably not run out.
Actually Trolltech was doing pretty well while selling Qt (which was full GPL at that time) for a fixed price per major version.

Then Nokia bought it and made it LGPL because they were planning on using it as the foundation for (some of) their mobile phones. Unfortunately, they couldn't decide which phones and went on a downwards slide.

Then Microsoft bought most of Nokia, and Qt got spun off into an enterprise thingy that takes their sales tactics from Oracle. Yes, I know the LGPL allows me to link dynamically for free, no, I don't trust Digia not to sue me for that.

Their pricing is also out of reach of anyone who's not in an industry that charges an arm and a leg due to regulation or niche.

You were dealing with doctors and nurses, right?

One group runs a gauntlet of fire by sleep deprivation during pre-med training: with on-call work hours up to 120 hours a week. And the other group are typically on shift rotas so their sleep patterns are permanently disrupted.

I'm going to call it for them being oblivious to the sleep requirements of ordinary human beings, because these professions are self-selecting for sleep-dep survival traits; only people who can work insane hours make it through hospital medical training, and only people who can take shift work in their stride make it as hospital nurses.

(Also, my observation of hospital doctors is that anyone you see on a ward outside core office hours is relatively junior, i.e. aged about 22-35. Senior consultants and professors work normal hours like everybody else. As for the nurses ... my understanding is that ICU nursing burns them up.)

(Source of observations: former hospital pharmacist here, who just got a refresher course c/o a relative who spent three months on an acute stroke ward this fall.)

I've been in the hospital without insurance. They bill you for gratuitous stuff regardless of whether you have insurance. They don't mention that there will be a bill when they ask if you want your newborn's hearing checked or if you want to try the experimental sap-based wound sealer they happen to have (both things that actually happened). They seem kind and polite. Then they bill you. One doctor looks over another's shoulder for five minutes. They each bill you.

This is in the US, mind you. In fact, both stays were in Nashville, TN, in the early 2000s.

Lots of advice to put your money in the stock market. Have you seen the stock market this year?

Don't get me wrong, the stock market is a perfectly great place to park your money, and it's basically back stopped by the US government.

My suggestion is look to invest elsewhere. Invest in real estate, invest in businesses. The latter, as you now know, can create much more wealth than the stock market.

The end goal of this isn't the money at this point. It's to build and be creative. It's not for everyone. Just my two cents.

EDIT: If you do put your money in the markets - invest in a handful of low cost and well-diversified ETFs. Hiring an advisor could be a good idea - but make sure you know their fees.
In a world of continuous deployment, one persons configuration is another persons code.
1) Put aside the majority to be safely invested for your families future. Don't play silly games like thinking of "donating it"... You will likely need it in the future. You had the fortune of stability thus far in life, and this doesn't last nor is it typical. Be a little more realistic here.

2) Devote your time to following your dream and doing what you enjoy doing. is there seriously nothing you always wanted to do but never thought it would be a reasonably paid career? Music? Film? Inventions? A programming side-project?
I will. I am grateful that something like flutter exists and learning dart is very easy and would never be a showstopper for me. It is not like that we are not required to learn large amount of platforms and languages anyway.
This is getting very off topic, but.. Um... what would you actually spend 2 trillion a year on for four years on to implement a change in society?

I mean sure, it's roughly the size of the oil market so theoretically you could buy all the oil in the world for 4 years and just not use it, thus forcing everyone on a massive pace to post-oil economy.

But there's a huge hysteresis in how the society works, at such a massive scale, it's not sufficient to have the capital available, you also likely need a competent and willing organization to fulfill your goals, political co-operation from the major global players and most of all, for any of it to matter at all, you need to create a change that

a) lasts

b) changes things for the better

For example of moonshot ideas, I presume you could buy Space X and bankroll an entire series of Mars expeditions, but if you failed to create a sustainable economy and culture around your project it would ultimately be forgotten once the money runs out.

Of course, if you dump thousands of peoples on Mars, maybe other financial operators would take over.

I don't know if ending oil economy or colonizing Mars were the projects you had in mind, though.

Seriosly, if someone gave you 8 trillion... what would you do?
Congratulations! You've finished the hardest game of life. Now you can never do anything you do not want it again, if that's your wish.

Now you can do whatever you want. This includes: Spend how much time you want with your family and important people to you; Work on something you really want, or some significant project for you; dedicate your life to arts or an hobby; Have time to know wherever you want; Take maximum care of your health; Take some risks in general, but not so much, or you might end up dying or being broke again; etc;

You have three resources to manage now: Time, Health and (assuming you won't spend all your money at once) your stocks/bonds [EDIT: or any other passive income of your wish.].
Most of them are simply salesmen, selling high-load products. Incentives are not aligned, but if you can find one is who independent of any particular set of funds and who only earns from a percentage of your earnings, and not from brokerage fees or commissions, then it might be worthwhile but you should still learn about this stuff yourself.
Try to compute how much energy you need to build and maintain a dense city than a sprawling suburb. Try to compute evolution possibilities of a dense area than a sparse one. Try to compute the magnitude of any disaster from natural phenomenon to human-made ones on a dense area than the countryside.

I have lived in a dense and modern big European city, now I'm living on mountains: cost, quality of life, energy efficiency etc are far superior here than in a city. No matter how developed is public transportation that's it's regularly inefficient because to handle peak time it work at a very bad efficiency for the rest of the year and you can't reduce it without hurting people freedom.
If you start with the Socratic assumption that you are entirely ignorant and really don't know anything, you're much more likely to notice "new" unknowns.

Good product is a team effort. The question is: Can you find the right people - not just any people but the right people - to come on-board, use / learn the tools you've chosen, and make magic happen?

Sheer technical prowess of tools and/or people is not enough.

That aside, to your points, there are __always__ tradeoffs. Some more detrimental than others. But again, preserving is a function of team. Someone somewhere is doing what your team is doing, and doing it better. They have the same technologies. So then the question is: why.

Great advice here to not to do anything rash, keep your current lifestyle with some modest splurges for your family.

I would advise you, after a waiting and thinking period, to diversify investments instead of maximizing return. Something people don’t think about is buying inexpensive income properties, small houses and condos. If the US dollar ever loses a lot of its value, then having about 30% of your assets in income producing property will make a dollar crash a little less painful to your family.
To go against the current a little bit, hold off on investing in the stock market as of now. The market is likely to turn downwards within the next year or two. There are too many indicators pointing to this.

Hold off and wait for the major indexes to lose ~40%-50% in value, then invest. During the 2008 crash, the main indexes and stocks lost ~40%-60%, and treasury bonds ~8%-10%. Save your money now and invest when markets start to bottom out.
There are many valuable answers here. I just wanted to say that you seem a humble guy and I'm happy that you are aware of it because that's what puts you in the right starting position. I think if you manage to keep your head there, you'll make the right decisions.
I don't think many people realize the flexibility of Google Sheets + Scripts.

When I need an ad-hoc flexible internal tool, Google sheets is usually the first place I start building.
I would use 1M (max) to get a new house & car, donate 10%, and put the rest in investment properties (different regions), gold, and some blue chip shares.

> Even in the case of random measures, while you can reasonably talk about the probability of a probability distribution, it still doesn't really make sense to talk about the probability distribution of a probability.

But that's exactly what it does mean. For the Dirichlet Process, the probability of hitting a set in the partition of a sample space is random. A DP is a couple of generalisations up from the beta distribution on p under discussion [1]. I.e. this specializes to the current situation as:

* The sample space theta is the set {H, T}.

* The only interesting partition to talk about is {A_1, A_2}={{H}, {T}}.

* The Dirichlet distribution on (G(A_1), G(A_2)) is therefore 2 dimensional, which is a Beta.

* G(A_1) is the probability measure of hitting heads.

No specific parametric model involving univariate p needs to be involved.

If only one team needs to sync, how is it any advantage for Flutter and Android to be within the same company? How is the situation any different from Flutter and iOS?

I agree with the other commenter -- don’t expect any close cooperation between Flutter and Android because that’s just not how Google (and other huge companies) tends to work.
I'll grant you the version difference, but otherwise I strongly disagree. Font issue doesn't exist if you use standard fonts and is solvable in general by ticking the "embed fonts" checkbox. You're better off than with SaaS versions, which offer you a very small selection of fonts. With printers, it's actually MS Office that can paper over the differences between models and drivers; you're better off by default.

With the set of available feature, Word is as close to WYSIWYG as you can possibly get.

I exercise, took up squash, we went on a 7 month trip around the world last year etc etc. Our kids or not spoiled, other than the travel, which they would prefer to not do in order to stay in school :)

PrimeReact 2.0.0 Released with 70+ Open Source UI Components
I fully agree. I find myself always fighting the Rust or C compilers. Not so with D (or Go for that matter). The GC is very useful as one doesn't have to worry about memory allocation, while also being easy enough work around it by specifying static array lengths etc. Now one can also disable it using the @nogc attribute with nogc functions.
One thing for certain, it can go quick. If you do anything entrepreneurial, start with a small allocation of your total net worth, and keep your overhead low as possible. It is really amazing how easy it is to get trapped in sticky things like rental leases and salaries. I'd also remind, don't forget about basic safe fixed-income investments like USA Government Bonds. Sticking most of it in bonds at 2-3% is probably not the worst move you could make, over these next few years.

I have no idea what this even means so it’s already too complicated for me to follow!
Many people have done this math and have researched this extensively. Urban environments on average are significantly more ecological, more efficient, than sprawl, on a per person basis.

The amount of energy required to build and maintain 500,000 people spread across suburbs is far more than 500,000 in a dense city. The amount of material needed for construction, especially cement goes up massively. Services are able to serve less people, so require more quantity of doctors, grocers, power stations, etc per capita, requiring more land and space and waste. The fact that individuals need to use cars in less dense environments vs many exclusively using shared services such as public transit in dense cities, which are ridiculously more ecological.

If they get too shady, especially Oracle, the Java community is way bigger than Oracle itself. I'm pretty sure that a Java fork would be successful, if push comes to shove.

The .NET community is much smaller so at this point it wouldn't work. But the way they are going, in a few years it should be doable.

You obviously won't be able to fork as a solo contributor, but if it's that bad, you won't go at it alone.

Elrond Network – Open Sourcing Elrond Node and Wallet
Hello everyone. In times of difficult market conditions, people get sidetracked and forget this technology’s potential to change the status quo.
I’m part of the Elrond team, and we’ve recently open sourced our prototype with the hopes that it becomes easier to build a truly open source community around it.
Our aim of making crypto and blockchain accessible to as many people as possible begins with a more intuitive user experience for both end users and developers. Our open source prototype is meant to create a feedback loop and we wish to:

Get developers to test the prototype
Identify issues
Come up with loads of questions

We’re more than happy to start a relevant conversation on why scalability is vital for any meaningful adoption to happen. A detailed medium post on our progress can be read here: https://medium.com/elrondnetwork/elrond-technical-progress-update-some-talk-about-it-we-build-it-3-2c556355d3ae

The main code base is on our Github, along with all the necessary documentation for running it: https://github.com/ElrondNetwork/elrond-node-prototype
Details about our team and how to get in touch can be found on https://elrond.com
Upcoming milestones: testnet launch in December and smart contracts with formal verifications in Q1 2019
If any of this sounds interesting to you hit us up! We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
