Am I weird? I spent a year living somewhat frugally (still enjoyed myself, still took a trip now and then) in San Diego and spent about 20,000. That was only my share tbf, my wife covered her half of expenses. We had a flat in a nice neighbourhood, shared an old but decent-condition car, took one trip to New England that year..

We had obamacare which helped a lot.

I see people on HN talking about needing massive amounts of money to live and I just wonder where it all goes? What's it for?
If you're a power user, this kind of "can't leave me" sites are a rare and minor annoyance - you know that they're sandboxed and can't do anything bad unless you allow it, and you'll have it cleaned up WAY faster than the time you'd have spent managing JS exceptions and debugging sites that broke in non-obvious ways.

And if you're setting a computer up for a non-poweruser, you can't deploy uMatrix because you really can't expect the user to do said debugging.
Not at all. Most people see working for their country as a good thing. They can start paying people literally any sum of money literally any minute they want. And even if UK people wouldn't work for them, mercenaries are common.
I just hate that this web-site demands to exit incognito mode or log in in order to read the article.
That’s a good point. They did stay away from “the key to happy marriages is more humor” trope, so it really is just observational.
For me I'm getting tired of being fed Trump apologist questions. Or nutty questions about Obama's place of birth. Etc ad nauseum.
How dystopian. Why would anyone accept such a restriction?
That's true, but you used it in the flamewar style, as was the rest of your comment. That's against the rules here, and so is nationalistic flamewar. Please don't post those things to HN.

> If somebody were to give me a hundred thousand dollars to invest, I am quite certain I could live comfortably for the rest of my life

This shows a pretty big disconnect. And is something no one in their 30s+ would say.

The common rule of thumb is you can live off of an investment at 4% indefinitely(assuming 6% return and 2% inflation). This gives you $4,000 a year.
Crappy insurance: $4,200 a year.
Crappy 300 sq ft efficiency in cheaper town: $5,400 a year.
Cost of owning a car: $5,000 a year(you could skip this expense, but you'll be spending most of it in increased cost of living in area with great public transit. You could also bike but not everyone's knees last forever)

And this doesn't include food/entertainment/travel/internet/phone/medical bills etc.
Which blockchain are you talking about? Most have probabilistic finality within seconds and CC transactions can take weeks to clear for the merchant.
The big breakthrough with penicillin wasn't discovery it was mass production. Many fungal species produce it, but it took an extensive search to find one that produced a lot of it and then "genetic engineering" (via mutagenesis) to produce a variant which made enough to make the whole thing feasible.

Similar situation here. I live on 7000 GBP p/a and any other income I can find elsewhere which isn't guaranteed. There was a post on Reddit personal finance sub the other day asking for advice on whether they should leave their 320k USD p/a job for a 325k GBP p/a job as an entry level analyst for a hedge fund. Most people just have no idea what it actually is to live close to poverty and so 10 million is easy to come by as a figure for where you're comfortable. To be honest it makes sick. That said I'm the happiest I've ever been and enjoy being a PhD student. You learn s lot by the constraint of minimal income such as how to cook good food and enjoy life without materialism. Not that I was that way before I started my current programme.
I wouldn't be surprised if the levels of inequality are negatively impacting innovation. There has to be an optimum level but I don't think we are anywhere near it in the Anglo-sphere.
I got a question about the Chinese flag. It being black stars for some reason, I thought it's another country and guessed wrong three times. Check your flags, something seems to be wrong with the colors.
This is one of those topics that I researched a lot when I bought a new home recently. While LED lights seem awesome at the first sight (low power consumption! No warmup time!) when you dig a little deeper you'll find that most LEDs are far from perfect:

1. Lots of LEDs flicker. Shitty ones with twice the frequency of the main current (so 100/120 Hz) While you might not notice this it causes eye strain and can lead to eye fatigue, headaches, migraines.

2. Most LEDs have a low CRI (Color Rendering Index, or called Ra which is one standard to measure it), this means that they do not emit light in certain frequencies causing objects to look dull/gray. Most LED lamps have a Ra value of 80, meaning that they emit on average in the 80% of a spectrum that covers most of the visible light.

If you look around you'll be able to find reasonably priced LEDs with 90+ Ra and no flicker, but its a pain in the ass to research it. Especially if you need something more special like a LED light strip for your kitchen.

If the author signed an exclusivity agreement with Amazon then he'd be in breach and Amazon could seek penalties. Otherwise he would not be in breach and Amazon should expect him to use other distribution channels as the fancy takes him. That's about the extent to which ethics enters into it, as far as I can see.
That's what that is. I never considered that those displays were strobing!
Ektachrome of the time of article was E-4. The later E-6 has much improved color fidelity and archival performance, even if not close to Kodachrome still.
The linked article doesn't say say that it is restricted to games that are played for money so it seems to be equivalent to being arrested for cheating in school sports day.
Bear Stearns employee comp is solely about the value the employees provide to the firm. The ones making that kind of money would easily be bringing in a multiple of that in sales, etc.

Just because the company got wiped out by a black swan style event means nothing about whether their employees were providing a lot of value to the firm.

Is there a mirror?
It's not a very good example, in that the barrier there was physical development of hardware. This is purely a software problem.

Another obvious difference is that from the first moment they were on the market, they had some practical use, and the amount of use grew quickly. If we count from the Kodak DCS 100 introduced in 1991 at a price of $20,000, then ten years later we see that they were being bought at the rate of 18 million units a year and rapidly rising. [1]

Bitcoin, in contrast, has very little practical use 10 years after introduction. Its merchant adoption peaked years ago. That's far short of what an actually useful digital payments product can do. Look at M-Pesa [2] for contrast. It was introduced only a year early than Bitcoin. It has tens of millions of active users, and processes up to 900 transactions per second, with an average of 160 per second. [3] A huge success compared with Bitcoin's average of 3-4 transactions per second, most of which are speculative rather than practical. [4]

If it works, even a little bit, I'm all for it. There are similar stories about e.g. China restoring vast arid lands back into green lands through simple measures that basically include a little bit of engineering but mostly letting nature do what it does best. Similarly, Northern Africa is basically turning land into deserts by letting goats and sheep roam free and to eat everything that looks even remotely green. Some simple fences keeping the animals out can apparently restore a lot of that land in years thus making it possible to farm all sorts of stuff that previously would not grow there at all.

This suggests that figuring out how to manipulate nature to function more optimally, can actually be beneficial. Even merely stopping to do things that are clearly misguided seems to help. Healthy soil does all sorts of things that are beneficial. Holding carbon is part of that yes. But it also holds water. Without water nothing grows. If you fix that, bio diversity increases, the soil becomes richer, more stuff grows. Including the stuff we're interested in farming.

Much of last century was dedicated to intensive farming and short term yields without any regard whatsoever to the long term impact. None of that has to be permanent. If you read science fiction, a popular topic is terra forming. We'll have an opportunity to terra form earth long before we need to terra form somewhere else. Might be easier too and feasible.

This article just redefines “crisis” to its liking. If only falling profits make for a “real” crisis, then, no, Facebook is not in such a crisis.

Indeed, the author actually agrees that there are legitimate concerns about FB, some of which are new. I don’t quite get why a crises of ethics should be less “real”, or not reported on by journalists. Is it the primacy of the almighty powers of the market?

Even in the latter case, investors and consumers would seem to rely on such information by the media to make market decisions. To require them to act before reporting on their reasons to act seems counterintuitive.

....but at that point the article has long diverged into rehashing 2016 conspiracy theories.

tldr: this is a shallow not-defense of Facebook, with a headline specifically engineered to appeal to HN’s current groupthink hating “the media”.

Ah, the horrors of lifecycle management of consumer devices.

Every networked product should come with a legally binding A4/letter-sized sheet that clearly shows the last date the product is guaranteed to receive security patches. Not fulfilling the requirements would have to result in a buyback with the sum directly proportional to whatever time of the promised lifetime is left unused.

EU countries already have rather strict consumer protection laws but they really haven't been designed for situations where a hardware product can be rendered unusable by insecure software.
It's not a single cause; it's several thousand life events and all the decisions, behavioural patterns, and internal bodily functions/reactions that are influenced by them.

One has to admire the candor with which he talks about what must feel to him and many of his colleagues as an existential threat to his career and/or life's work. Impressive. In business (as in academia I guess) there is this constant nagging fear of being blindsided by a well-funded or brilliant competitor. When that happens I personally just want to get drunk or roll up into a ball or something.
Ask HN: Need location advice for raising a family (working as a CTO)
Dear HN people, I have been in tech/product lead roles for quite some time now, and I was fortunate enough to have built great teams, and create a modest success story (as the CTO, leading all things tech for a company from zero to unicorn-ish levels). This makes it convenient for me to pick my next gig, relocate to wherever we chose (of course within the frame of engineering supply-and-demand).

When it comes to the position, I think the best fit would be a tech lead role on an upscaling startup, but starting my own startup or joining a larger organization are not crossed off neither. Meaningful work is very important, but I am quite flexible when it comes to the industry, company profile, tech stack, team size etc.

I am with my wife and a one year old daughter, we are financially ok not to base our decisions on maximizing dollar value of compensation, but unfortunately not financially independent yet. We are from EU(holding dual citizenship), but no strict ties to our countries (actually strongly prefer a third country to settle in). I personally prefer an English speaking area, but any recommendation is more than welcome, we are a bit stressed about this important life decision for our daughter, and probably for us too.. Standards of living and being able to provide a good future for our kid is priority number 1,2,3... All else, we can adapt and get used to, we have done a similar move 10 years ago, worked out well, and I believe we can do the same again now.. But probably only once more, which makes the decision even harder.

Reading on HN for many years and getting valuable information on a wide spectrum of subjects, I wanted to write here for you fellow HNers opinions and recommendations. Thanks a lot in advance!
too bad they don't randomize the sample order, makes the public % of people getting it right useless.

The first sample surprised me on how much of a difference it was, on the 2nd I was wrong, on the 3rd completely lost, but I guess that's by design.
The IRS?
I'd say it's nearly impossible to compare that way, because the volume hast to be precisely the same (louder always sounds better).
There's clearly a demand for people having their old-school credit card or equivalent on their phone and debitable wirelessly.

I personally find that more risk than benefit, but traditional banking's security mechanism seems adequate for many people.

If crypto currencies cannot offer the same level of convenience/security, then how can they compete in the mass market?
Statistically speaking (tally up the dead for example) the biggest threat people face in their lives is not from any terrorist or criminal, but from their own government.
The problem being that judging the motion of a blinking light is nearly impossible. A blinking light is both more attention grabbing and less safe for the user.
Or it leads to dicking around forever while you change your mind five times about what the "proper structure" is because you're not comitting to anything and not getting any feedback. Experience has very little influence on that.

I think you are mistaking cause and effect, this is an organisation who chose the easy way out instead of just complying with the rules (which are not draconic).
That's only because the question is "x || !x" which is always true.
If you judge worth by others, you can be in trouble. If you judge worth by impact, what others get can be hugely significant. Somewhere between the two is a movable balance point where what people say influences how you believe they are impacted.

This works for people making huge donations, people of less financial worth donating their time and work, but alas also justifies the Kardashians who perceive impact somewhat differently.
Money is an insanely toxic mental, political, and social poison, for exactly these kinds of reasons.

It's also a social reward function that privileges egotism and narcissism over empathy; exploitation, scamming, and rent-seeking over creativity, curiosity and invention; and short-term gain over long-term damage.

Like the hardest of hard addictive drugs, it's an almost irresistible modifier of behaviour and attitude.

6) use any of the above methods but with UV leds and coat the glass on your bulb with phosphor, giving some extra buffer to the flicker by way of a slow brightness decay.

I'm fairly sure the IKEA bulbs use the above method. If you turn them off they have an afterglow for a couple seconds.
I don't think you are fully grokking "not worrying about finances". Your scenario requires consistent outsized market returns to give you less money than the poverty level. You will be wiped out by inflation, a recession, a newborn child, or a myriad of other unexpected expenses that will quickly blow through your poverty-level allowance.

That's nowhere near "not worrying about finances". "Not worrying about finances" means you never have to work a job for income, you don't depend on the social safety nets of a single country, you never have to worry about affording a place to live, getting optional healthcare and so-on.

You're thinking that people who don't constantly have to worry about finances is what the poster is talking about, but that's worlds away from never worrying about finances again.

Seriously, read the thread again. This has nothing to do with comfort, it's about FU money.
Yes, but they are not gonna be using EUV for every layer. The only way it makes economical sense is where they replace horrific SAQP layers with a single exposure EUV pass, and use conventional litho for the rest to maximise throughput.
> HN will shadowban your account if you dont conform to popular opinion enough

Bollocks.
To me, this sounds entirely plausible. Trying to describe a semiconductor process by a single number is almost as abstract as describing a song with a single number. First of all, the definition of that number is somehow vague. It describes only a single design rule, the gate width of a transistor. But that already assumes a certain fundamental layout of the transitor, which no longer applies in advanced nodes with for example fin fets and all kind of 3d structures. It also does not account for all the many hundred design rules characterizing that process. To compare two processes, you not only need to account for the transistor density, but also the performance characteristics, like energy used, leak currents, switching speeds and so on.

With the 7nm process, TSMC seems to have clearly pulled ahead of Intels 14nm process. The delayed 10nm would be competing with the TSMC 7nm process. The 10nm sound not very advanced, but it hides that other parts of the process were very aggressive in specs. As everyone in the tech industry knows, complex projects can get stuck easily. Sometimes for obvious mistakes, but often hitting a road block, where no one expected one. So for whatever reasons, the 10nm project was quite delayed, we will see in 2019 if they manage to hit the market at their current schedule.

The 7nm project is run independantly from the 10nm process, so it runs on its own time scale. If they are not directly based on each other, it is quite plausible that they made a completely different set of design decisions and thus were not hit by the same road blocks the 10nm process had. As the 7nm process is in an earlier phase of its development, it might of course have just not reached some of the road blocks yet, but it is not necessary that it does run into the same problems as the 10nm one.
All of the (as you say, inadequate) climate accord plans already assume that we are going to develop magical carbon-sequestration technology and deploy it on a global scale by 2050 or so.[0]

So basically, it's even worse than you might think. Not only do we have to cut our emissions dramatically, but we also have to invent some technology for negative emissions.
