a) Find a financial advisor who takes a fee rather than a portion of your investment. (And/or talk to multiple of the "free" advisors at Schwab/Vanguard, etc.) Get the money working for you. Just be aware that there's (probably) a recession coming soon, so you want to make sure you're very strongly diversified - probably go heavy on bonds, cash. (Get their take on it. IANAFA.)

b) Are you worried about going (stir/)crazy if you retire? Put it this way - you're not going to be reincarnated, and you're not going to spend eternity playing harps. You've got 20 to 40 years left on the planet (i.e. between 7.3k and 14.6k days,) depending on how well you've been taking care of yourself, and you're only going to be truly fit for about half of that, barring misfortune. Your forties and early fifties are your remaining chance to do anything reasonably energetic outside the norm. Spending them in an office working on meaningless products for somebody else would be a waste.

Don't freak out it if you don't yet have any ideas about what you would do. Keep working for at least 6 months. In the meantime both you and your wife should come up with "dream lists" / "bucket lists" - 100 items each -- things you want to do (anything from places to travel, skills or subjects to learn, books to read, things to create, experiences to try, etc) before you kick it. It'll take a while if you haven't done this before. Don't compare lists until you both have them. After you both have lists, read through them together. If you're not convinced about any, strike them and replace them. Prioritize them. Start doing them. Quit work once you get into it sufficiently. Enjoy life & freedom.

It need not be unlikely. Once you become an acknowledged expert, other people may collaborate with you in parallel. You contribute some of the main ideas, and your co-authors will flesh out and write the paper. I do not see anything wrong in this. Currently, Erdos and Shelah are in the 1100-1300 range.

If all papers were indexed by a full-text search engine, you could simply pick a few sentences that sound unique and search for them across all publications. It's not like self-plagiarism is more important to detect than regular plagiarism :)

Or journals could just submit all papers to the plagiarism-detectors used for undergraduate work, like Turnitin.

Well, they've just made the thing Open Source, made an independent foundation which they're opening up to other organizations (just like the FSF, the Python Foundation, etc.). The code is under the MIT license. I think they've also made a patent pledge.

If they change their minds now, future .NET versions can be made proprietary again. But what's out is out. Can't be put back into the box.

And you also called "Java" an "alligator", which I don't think was a compliment. Java has been a very solid platform for about 22 years. If it would have been a kid, now it would be in college. On top of that it's been Open Source for more than a few years. I don't like/trust Oracle, but just like for .NET, if you don't like them, you can fork.

Nice post, I would like to ad a super-category/type: companies of various kind that think to be independent companies in a "free market" while are only slave that works for few bigger one.

To explain this mega-pattern I start to the bottom: in the past we have had blacksmiths that build their own tools regularly, it was common in chemistry industry produce in-house any "glass made lab equipment", it was common between carpenters to build most of their tools, these were mostly made of wood and blades are made by the nearby blacksmith that also buy wood stuff from the carpenter and I can keep going for long. Now without tools essentially designed and made by very few subjects (yep, there are tons of electric/pneumatic/... tools producers but they do not really produce them, only design few aspects around pre-made components) nobody can work anymore.

In IT it's no different: in the past we have had many different architectures, software etc, now anything is built essentially around ARM or x86 and mostly around very few key software components.

Long story short: most type of companies you identify are not free player of a free market but only lego player that depend on lego brick suppliers that are more and more few, more and more powerful.

Weka is a name of a Machine learning product from New Zealand.

The IBM system had 24xHGST N200 SSD, 830 000 random read, 200 000 random write. that is 24 * 200 000 IOPS=4.8Million random writes.

The Matrix system had 64x1.2TB Micron 9100 SSDs. 750 000 random read,
300 0000 random writes. 64 * 300 000=19.2 Million IOPS

Ok so you have benchmarked hardware with 4.8 Million write ops vs 19.2 Million write ops.

What tax does a car driver pay?

Lets see

Land cost in say Ealing is £30m a hectre, or £3k per sqm. A parking space that's about 3m by 2m of the road is worth about £20k, and thus costs about £1k a year to provide.

I've reviewed Servicebot, WHMCS, WordPress WooCommerce, Chargebee, Killbill.

Killbill is one which has majority of the things you need it seems project contributers aren't willling to maintain plugins and it seems difficult to setup.

But they all feel either short of features, or not extensible or not self hosted.

So, this time i really want to put together efforts and build something on github so that everyone can use it in their SaaS project.
I spent a week in a German hospital a few years back. One thing that struck me is that they offered sleeping pills to ensure patients got a good night of sleep. Worked for me. Also didn't notice too many interruptions at night.

Another trend that I know of in the Netherlands (where I'm from) is that newly built hospitals have private rooms for all patients. These hospitals no longer have shared rooms by design. They also try to minimize hospital stays as being in a hospital exposes you to hospital infections, is expensive, and to be avoided unless explicitly needed.

That's a big difference with Germany, which is old fashioned on this front. The default attitude in Germany seems to be to keep people in a hospital much longer. In Germany you only get a private room if you need it medically or if you take private insurance.

I suspect a lot of this stuff is part cultural and part wrongly aligned incentives because hospitals just bill whatever to insurers and couldn't care less about patient comfort because their paying customer is the insurer, not the patient. The insurer cares about cost, the hospital cares about milking the insurer to the maximum of their ability. Between those two, patient comfort is not much of a concern.

The reason things have improved in the Netherlands is that they spent the last decade realigning incentives to cut cost between insurers and hospitals. People pick their own insurer (they are all private). However, all insurers are required to offer the same base packages (with extras if you want). So, people can easily switch insurance provider if they want and they do. So, insurers now compete on quality of service and cost. Which is why a lot of hospitals are actively concerning them selves with upgrading their facilities to improve customer happiness (still the insurers). Insurers are happy when their customers don't switch to another insurer and when hospitals don't waste their money.
> It's not a left vs right thing.

It very much is. Take a look at ANY right-wing political party and look who gets screwed over: always the lowest class people first. Women, PoC, migrants, poor persons.

The right-wing strategy is to distract the masses with "it's the fault of the foreigners/the Muslims/Deep State/Swamp" while at the same time enacting policies that benefit only the ultra rich.

> It's what one would do themselves without generics, if they wanted to be able to use them with full speed.

Right, but in many cases they can be combined without much speed penalty. For example you can combine monomorphized functions when you only rely on methods that are expected to be costly and inlining has a negligible effect. With actual, not ad hoc, generics you may (hopefully) have a control over monomorphization---I think Rust's trait object is a good design for this reason.

>Um, he has no need to work. Why would starting a business be the most important thing to do?

When you're financially independent you have the freedom to pursue ideas that are more risk-averse. It's when you have the freedom to do things that you wouldn't have felt comfortable doing when you were worried about paying your personal bills each month like me, like my fellow peasants.

>just as long as it does not cost more than a middle class income can support.

Uh, his 4% safe-withdrawal-rate is 320k, if he wants to be cautious a 3% safe-withdrawal-rate is 240k. That's quite a bit higher than middle-class income (median HOUSEHOLD income in the country is 59k).

> How many Western governments are trying to draw legitimacy from ancient Rome or Greece?

The West has used the aesthetics of the Roman empire as a basis for the trappings of power right through the modern period (see: Napoleon; US civic architecture). The direct reliance on legitimacy as deriving from a historical connection to Rome was basically only broken by the rise of the nation-state idea in the 19th century.

We still hold up the example of (a rather simplified view of) Athenian democracy as an example of the ancient legitimacy of democratic and republican institutions in some schools' civics classes.

Maybe it isn't as specific and concrete as the Chinese use of history for legitimacy, but I think the influence is there.

Yup, free will is meaningless, there's no measurable difference between an universe which has a free will and one that doesn't.

> are criminals responsible for their actions?

Doesn't matter, what matters is - is a commitment to punish certain behavior decreasing number of people behaving that way? If so - punishing crimes makes sense, no matter if there's a free will or not.

Inflation is just an aggregate, based on a reasonably arbitrary basket of goods that someone decided is representative of the public's expenditure. If the basket doesn't reflect your consumption, then the rate of inflation isn't really relevant to you. Almost all PCE inflation in the last 20 years has come from housing, healthcare, education, and pharmaceuticals. On the other hand, the price of durable goods has fallen. The idea that inflation moves all prices together hasn't been accurate since the 80's.

The trick is to figure out what your liabilities are, how you might be affected by the price of X changing, and invest accordingly to attempt to hedge that risk.
> That's what you get when you want to be PC

I don't understand this statement. Tumblr's user base, at least the portion who disagree with the site operators on this, are usually the ones accused of being “politically correct”?
Mh, personally I see far more fantasy production, distopic future fictions than science fictions ones... And I agree that they represent actual society trends since artist in general foresee the future far more than any other...

And if we dig deeper even science fiction like Star Trek represent their "originating" society, for instance while ST clearly represent an "international" future they represent it as USA-style-centric vision, that's is the starfleet. The same they represent a not-really-free society because yes there is no need to work and anybody seems to be happy, but anything goes around "starfleet" or around a military apparatus, not a democracy.
Comic book superhero is the most stale and rehashed sub-genre of science-fiction from the last century

Superheroes go all the way back to Ancient Greek stories of gods and demigods, or even some of the Old Testament prophets, the stories are still read today and are clearly structurally similar. The idea that superheroes are a modern American invention is just ludicrous.

How many Western governments are trying to draw legitimacy from ancient Rome or Greece?

This is a taboo subject among Western politicians nowadays. The answer is that Mussolini's fascist Italy and Hitler's Nazi Germany did this all the time.

Also consider that every Chinese people is at least familiar with a few lines in ancient Chinese books like Art of War, Analects, Dao De Jing and Han/Tang/Song poetry in the written language.

I very much doubt that the average Chinese city-dweller, nevermind subsistence farmer, can recite those ancient works by heart.

Furthermore, I doubt any Chinese person, apart from a scholar, could actually write down a few lines from these works in the original seal script. I would even go so far as to say that the average Chinese person would struggle to write anything but the most common characters in modern Chinese without the use of a phone or computer.

If you're looking for a Western text comparable to the Dao De Jing that many Westerners know then look no further than the Bible. There are millions of people who can rattle off Bible quotes by heart.

Those had all legit flaws which prevents wider usage, like being limited to one platform, being commercial or slow or dead... They all lakc in concept, because they are editors first, and not much of an IDE. VS Code is the first who actually avoids all the flaws. It's flexible, yet still quite fast, relative tame on RAM, yet full of IDE-features, running on all platforms and cost you just some privacy if you don't know about the data-collecting.

Additionally, it sparked the LSP a movement which is benefitial for all editors/IDEs, and we will see how much more will come from this. So even if VS Code itself will lost traction, it's heritage might prevail. But overall the specs so far look very healthy for a project in that realm, and chances are good that it will stay for a while.
"Normal" Work is unlikely to provide you with much meaning from now on, as it won't provide an appreciable change in your living standard.

So, instead, look around at charities, or other positive works, and see what you can do to help them with your time.

Read the local news, and see what leaps out as being unfair or unreasonable to you. Spend some time researching it to make sure it's not just clickbait, but actually a real problem, and then go offer to work for them for free. A decent manager can do an awful lot to help a small organisation work well.

Yes. The right to keep and bear arms is just an awkward way of wording "people have the right to have the means to defend themselves". It just so happens that firearms are the current gold standard when it comes to defending one's person. If something else comes along the people have the right to that too.
> Consider the possibility that whether the future is predetermined or not has nothing to do with free will.

If free will exists, that would seem to imply that people can make decisions that affect their future. Wouldn't free will therefore imply nondeterminism?

I agree that notfreewill does not imply determinism.

I'm not making that assumption. I'm saying that in terms of all the directions that name-processing and name-recording software are pulled in, it's a compromise that works for many purposes.

I would blow some serious cash right away. Buy a Tesla Model S P100D. Tell the wife and kids you're going on a spiritual retreat but instead hang around with 30 something girls and party your ass off (you don't have to have sex with them). Do some ecstasy. A good role model is Dan Bilzerian.

Does the Java compiler optimize this to be equivalent?

As an aside, I really hate problems like this that seem like they have a nice solution but then you end up brute forcing them. A family friend had one recently that she tore her hair out over for at least a week before finally accepting that there was no “simple” solution after confirmation from no fewer than five other people that they thought the problem was hard.
