Even if OP spends 1M on college fees ( I forgot how expensive it is in the US ), I would imagine that they'll still be very comfortable for a long time.

Plus, you need to factor in their future earnings. When people speak of retirement, they really mean just doing something else they're interested in. The likelihood of these activities generating income, at some stage, is substantial.

Also why would anyone need to spend 300k in a year? If you own your house, there's not much to spend other than utilities, food and a couple of holidays... Or am I missing something?
"Maths" makes sense though, as short for "mathematics". However, "bottom-up" refers to "from the bottom up", I think, which is singular.
You can effectively maintain your own component independent state via context and the context API. Where Redux shines is in predictable state management. Or more predictable depending on how you manage async requests to an external resource.

Personally, I find for mid-large apps that Redux is usually a better approach. For small-mid, you're likely better off using the new context directly. Also don't forget you can maintain in-component state.

I said this upthread, but at the risk of being repetitive: the possibility of adoption addresses many of those concerns.

There are tradeoffs (nontraditional family dynamics with kids being raised by older parents, hassles with the adoption system itself, etc.), but a) you could consider those tradeoffs to be in exchange for the benefit of spending the first parts of your life doing other things, and b) the benefits to adopted kids are often truly huge.

Welcome to Compatibilism!
Do you mind giving an example for the specific use of "c++ partial ordering scheme for template selection"?
Wait. There are apps on the Facebook platform? Haven't they crippled any and all capabilities of the platform by ensuring that you can't build anything useful on it?
surely you realize there's more to hospital than just you?

Of course I do. What does that have to do with anything?

As the article says, there are simple changes they could make that would maintain the same quality of care, while still allowing patients to get more sleep. Considering how important sleep is to our health, not doing those things is borderline malpractice, IMO.
Constructive softwre engineering?
While I agree with you that not showing a clear message if JS is disabled on the client is bad, I would say that's outside the scope of this manifest. This is about building and deploying SPAs, not about graceful degradation etc.
How is Kite still in business after telemetry abuse?

Sadly I would not be shocked if they managed to gather additional funding.
After a few chaotic weeks/months the bicycles for rent disappeared from Vienna.

Now we got Birds and Lymes everywhere. How come they popped up at the same time? Looks suspicious to me. Do they want to create the illusion of choice?

Anyways, I see broken and beeping scooters everywhere. At night, I see a teenager collecting 10 of them at a time and recharging them in a storage renting store. Is he "stealing" the storage electricity? Have you ever seen someone drive on 10 scooters at once.

This gag economy is hilarious and I wonder when the rollers will disappear again.
Maybe it's a good classifier by some measure but the error rate is clearly way too high for indiscriminately deleting everything it detects to be a good idea, and that is exactly what Tumblr plans on doing in 2 weeks. Randomly deleting posts that in no way violate the rules is going to piss a lot of people off even if "only" 5% of posts are affected.

This is kind of an inherent problem with automated moderation tools. And not new to Tumblr either, there is some sort of mysterious spam filter applied to the ask system that results in a lot of legitimate messages not being sent that people have complained about for ages.

And maybe my dash is not a representative sample but there really does seem to be a huge number of misclassified posts.
In a kind-of defense of such methods: such technologies do seem crappy when you look at them today, but building good products with bad tools is pretty much in the job description for engineers and even more for experimental scientists. Check a good experimental scientist record of 100-300 years ago and you will be amazed what they did with the tools of the time.

This is not an apples to apples comparison to the spider fight world of trading, but there would still be a lot of ingenuity there. And a simple way to limit risk is to ruthlessly review the results, both automatically and manually. Keep going while it works as expected and stop/adjust if there is a major glitch.
So they decided to build a completely new subway just to incentivize french daily commuters to drive less into the city. Project costing billions, making ton of mess all over the city for last 10 years, planned either by incredibly stupid people or as outright fraud.

If you look at the map, it won't help in transport practically any Geneva inhabitant, since there are only 4 stops altogether (1 is in so called ugliest town in France just across the border, Annemasse), and moving between those 3 within Geneva will be faster by existing bus system (ie Eaux-Vives -> train station, takes 12 mins). That's not how you build a city subway. What a fail...

Add to that the fact that french commuters would have to drive to centre of border french town (which has its own traffic jams every day and no infrastructure to handle extra commuters) and somehow park (expensively) there - it will take them +-same time to just go to centre of Geneva.

The problem would be solvable very easily without any digging and spending billions and pissing off everybody - just change legislation to make parking to non-swiss (or non-Geneva) cars more restrictive (blue zones) or more expensive (white zones, inner city parkings). And make the border huge parkings really cheap, the prices now are ridiculously high for what they are supposed to do (and waiting times for a slot are 6-12 months). It would also bring more revenue to city without having to build more parking spaces for which there is simply no space.

I suspect huge bribery from companies involved (mainly construction) to push this through, because this really doesn't make any sense. Yet another example of Geneva not really being Swiss in anything but location - more like 50% French with their mess, inefficiency and corruption, and 50% somehow Swiss (but its really smaller half, they just have tons of money from all the companies due to low corporate taxes).
I felt the same. Hobbies, especially the ones that promote health or fitness (like some cool sports) would be something I'd clearly look out for.

On top of that I'd be very keen to invest in health of both yourself and your family. Dead people do not enjoy wealth, and while the sick sometimes need money to fix themselves up one can argue they do not really enjoy it. Some doctors may help you with a proper preventive plan that involves some recurring tests, I'd certainly invest in that. You may need a few, like: an MD, a holistic doctor and a nutritionist.

Then investigate what it takes to "live healthy" for you. Food (more raw organic produce), exercise/sports (yoga, running, cycling, gym, climbing/bouldering, kite surfing), some spiritual practice (meditation, breathing techniques, some philanthropy). This all can bring a person years of healthy life.

If your are not hung up on the location to live, you may want to explore some over the years. Having 2 places to call your home is well within reach. Then if you are into it, you can build, or remodel a place to your interests: a hobby in itself.
> Yup, free will is meaningless, there's no measurable difference between an universe which has a free will and one that doesn't.

Actually there is: in a universe with free will, you must have intelligent agents that can understand their own actions and learn from their choices. A universe lacking free will would lack these qualities, and be observably different as a result.
> It's usually described as a C++ successor, rather than a C successor.

It is, and I honestly don't see that at all. I interpret "successor" to be more than just an alternative. D is, more or less, a superset of C - there are some small differences, but you can do much of your port from C to D by simply changing the file extension from .c to .d. Heck, you can even include C header files directly in a D program. Although D does most of the same things as C++, it does them in very different ways.
Disclaimer: it's my take on free will and it's probably not backed up by prominent philosophers (I haven't checked).

While your body exists in the physical world, you as an intelligent agent exist in probabilistic distribution of possible worlds. You don't have enough information to know the physical world your body belongs to. You thusly exist in all of possible worlds that don't contradict your observations.

Your act of making a free choice selects a subset of possible physical worlds where physical laws make your body go through motions of making the choice.

The physical world is still deterministic, but you don't know which one is THE physical world.

They allow you to financially support websites that show useful ads without the need for user tracking by a third party outside of your browser.

They do a lot more than that too so I'd suggest having a look at the above link or Brendan Eich's new start up https://brave.com/

There's nothing proprietary about them though and Google could switch to this model in Chrome if they wanted ....if they wanted.
The fact that "starfleet" is actually a military force, while anywhere we hear that it's task is exploration not war IMO demonstrate that. Essentially entire "United federation" society seems to turn around starfleet. Only veeeery few times I here thing about democracy like elections or political charges (that in general came out when in trouble and need military protection or doing something wrong and need to be stopped)...

Do you really see freedom in a hierarchy? Yes, characters seems to be free, but basic of ST society is all but a military dictatorship not a democracy, so they are the USA that formally have elections and are a democracy but in practice they have a corporatocracy that use money, media power to steer the society and single citizen have a very little weight... Consider only the real purpose of many aspect of electoral system across the western world. The most "democratic" was the Swiss one, followed by modern German one, only because of nazi fear I think, classic Italian one was in a similar shape before actual series of reform, French the same before recent ('90s era) transformations. Why for instance have "primary elections"? Why not say simple "anyone who collect around 0.1% of voter's signature can be a candidate and all of them will go to the final election? Why not having a sovereign parliament without any "majority prize" etc and a nominated government that have to face the parliament without any veto power? Few country have or have had it and they was or they are well and powerful.

I mean, can't they see that a lot of traffic flows through tumblr via those interests? Do they not know how much of a loss of usage that this will cause? I legitimately have zero other reason to use tumblr.
The proposed solution in "index.html contains fully-qualified references to the static assets" seems backwards. Changing resources from `./main.js` to `https://assets.myapp.com/apps/1.0.2/main.js` makes the opposite of an "immutable application" in that loading the script will effectively be a side-effect and depending on other factors than just the index.html link with it's child directories.

Overall it seems like a good framework, but not making all resources self-contained + relative, seems like a step backwards in that you're locking your resources to a specific domain, which might or might not be available.
Not only that, it can run up to $500 or more per underground parking spot in maintenance per year for electricity, physical space and entrance maintenance, fire safety systems and obligatory insurances. Additionally, you might not be allowed to store anything except a car in your space and not allowed to perform any activities there except driving in or out (no small car repairs!). What if you're alone with a baby and shopping bags and there's no elevator?

Compare this to an outside parking space: none of that applies.

I'd love to hide all the cars away from the street but I didn't realize all these differences until I got myself an underground spot.
Yeah, that’s what she meant
Isn't that Ironic?
You should read Cixin Lius short stories then, his short stories are far better than 3BP, they are in my opinion much more imaginative while additionally being very concise. The only real bummer is that Cixin Liu just seems to love dramatic irony on epic scales so much that basically every story is based around it.

The trilogy had some nice ideas, but it seems more like an exploration of the cosmic sociology than of a real story, which got quite tiring after a certain point for me. Though, I think I'm just not the type for trilogies, I favor concise existential literature over world-building.
My path is 1% hustle and 99% luck. Given how lucky I've been, and worried about regression to the mean, I play things relatively conservatively :-)

Mark these words, "At the start", because we'll be hearing them for the next 10 years until Waymo closes up shop. That they are going to market with drivers in the car means that the business has pivoted from "can we do driverless taxi" to "can we make money as uber-but-with-employees".

The next announcement from Waymo will be that they are cutting staff "mostly from R&D". The announcement after that will be that they are opening up the Waymo app for anyone to be a driver. The announcement after that will be that they are closing up shop or being sold to Uber.

But could the increase in errors from increased hand-offs be smaller than the increase in errors from sleep-deprived doctors, nurses and patients combined with the increase in disease spread and disease progression from the effect of sleep deprivation on the immune systems of doctors, nurses and patients? Additionally, could there be benefits from getting more eyes on a patient's condition?
I don't suggest the 'do-nothing' route. Time is limited. I'd suggest:

1) Splurge a little bit. Like $100k. Buy that Oculus VR you've been thinking about. Trade in your car to the new Tesla Model 3. Your wife has been eyeing a vacation to Hawaii for a few years now, go do it. Finish off your mancave basement project. Life is great, enjoy the fullness thereof. Don't feel bad about buying your kids a dozen new nerf guns and video game systems.

2) Focus your time now on improving the quality of life for others. You're rich. You've made it. You can live off of 2% interest the rest of your life and so will your wife/kids/grand-children. Now.... what are you going to do about the other 5.8 billion people on this planet who are struggling to make ends meet and are literally a few dollars away from death? Are you going to sit in your high-castle and collect bond coupon payments the rest of your life? Life is too short. What will be the legacy you leave this world? You have to do it now while you're still relatively young and healthy. Just volunteering your time and technology skills can affect the quality of life of thousands of people and their offspring for generations. Trust me, that's more fulfilling than buying a bigger house.
I know this is a heated debate, but it's interesting to see the divergent approaches that are being taken to achieve self driving. In one corner, it's lidar-based, equipping vehicles produced by other companies, organically and incrementally growing the navigation technology.

In the other, it's video-based with now 100s of thousands of vehicles feeding data to a massive neural net.

Each has very well thought-out arguments for the approach they are taking, and I expect that both would ultimately 'work' by reducing the inherent risks of taking a car ride by a substantial amount (90%?). I think the winner will be the one who gets to that milestone soonest.

It's entertaining to watch.
You were previously uninformed.
> Sometimes you pick from a set of actions for each you have equal reasons/information to pick. And you pick technically randomly.

If this were true, people wouldn't have any actual preferences and be fairly consistent with their choices. Clearly they are, ergo people do not make choices "technically randomly".
Make sure you stick with it, the sequel is amazing.
In this case I was replying to:

"For very small towns, you can walk. For mid-size villages... I see zero need of owning a car for the general population"; so not just cities.
I'll push this one step further: why is our entire society built around the idea that sleep literally doesn't matter?

- Elementary school starting so early all the kids are half asleep in class.

- College + Sleep? Not gonna happen.

- 24 hour construction in certain part of NYC, check!

- Most cities quiet hours are very precisely 8 hours. Hope your days start at 6:30/7:00 and you're falling asleep precisely at 11pm, and all your neighbors do the same!

- Having attention deficit? Lets start with ADHD medecine, not with a sleep study, no sir.

- Bazillion jobs requiring on call, waking people up at all manner of time, as a standard thing.

- Neighbors woke you up? Toughen up bro!

- Myth around how so many people apparently can do just fine on 5 hours of sleep.

The hospital thing is just a symptom of a society built around lack of respect for sleep. No one seems to consider it an important thing. If you're drowsy because you couldn't sleep, it's considered a minor inconvenience and little more.
I've worked for two megacorps. One non-tech and one tech (hardware and software). Both fit the description on that page well. I came to these two companies from a smaller tech company and each megacorp definitely seemed insane.

IME The difference is that at the non-tech company all the decision makers saw individual contributors the same way - didn't matter if you were a PhD scientist or a Business Analyst. Individual contributors were cogs in a business process.

At the tech company some of the decision makers seem to understand that technical people are "advanced cogs" and not just regular cogs. To me, that's the difference between feeling totally useless at the non-tech company and occasionally useful at the tech company.

If I write a program that scans for counter example of Fermat-theorem it will run until physics is kind to my machine.

The non-halting property of this setup is caused by the physical arrangements/movements of particles and the laws of nature. Fermat-theorem is an abstraction having no real causal power.

I would say, that for us the proof of Fermat-theorem is the right abstraction level to explain the general behavior of the machine: The machine does not halt because Fermat theorem is true

Similarly "punishment causes less crime" may be the right level of abstraction if the correlation is there, even if it can't be reduced to physical terms. And "Responsibility for action due to free will" may be worse abstraction if agent causation[1] is impossible (I am not saying it is)

So even if increasing/decreasing punishments is determined by low level laws of nature, we still can use the higher level explanation if it suits us better.

Well, Walter's company is Digital Mars so that's where he gets his naming scheme from. Nothing to do with Doom except they both are using the same Greco-Roman deity astronomical naming scheme.
And I pointed out that prior to v57 FF was a clearly superior product to the competition for me. For me FF v52 was also superior to v57. Sadly v52 is now out of support and the result is that I had to get a new computer.

For me the order of utility is FF pre v57 > FF post v57 > Chromium based browsers.

There's a lot of good info in here so I won't repeat. I will say congratulations, and the fact your reaction is to freak out instead of party like it's 1999 seems like you're in a good start already. Take some time to read the advice here and do the "right thing" for you.

My only other input would be to take some percent of it and use it for some cause you find worthwhile, whether it be a lump sum anonymous gift or payments over years, or getting involved with your time.
It sounds like an excuse for not networking at all really. Or upgrading equipment. Just a primitive cables to a data station on a cart outside the room would handle it better on every level than trying to figure out which thing isn't beeping when it should. Have it beep if it loses a signal. Better yet it can handle triaging far better when networked. Signal lost and "patient definetly not breathing" are two very different triage levels for one. You want to restore signal as soon as able but it isn't a mobilize a crash team to resuscitate situation. Nearly everything else has abandoned beeps as the sole indicator with good reason.
Peter Attia (MD) had a podcast episode where he talked about being a resident and how it almost killed him (asleep while driving) and was bad for patient.

Also explained that the guy who created the residency program was a cocaine addict who rarely slept, and since then all doctors have to try to follow his crazy schedule for no good reason..
> you intend to permanently deprive the ower of it.

Very much case by case.

I used to live in a street that had tons of stuff left outside of buildings (think chairs, shelves, mattresses etc) as tenants moved in and out a lot.

I got loads of useful stuff from that practice.

You just wait or ask around a bit before taking. Realistically a sofa left outside on a London street for a few hours is _at best_ temporarily awaiting disposal.
Re the 1% thing: might be worth it. Lots of people chase returns and pick risky investments. Instead of picking a diversified portfolio of index and/or blue chip stocks and sticking with it, they "play" the market, and almost never beat it. The 1% to a wealth advisor saves you from yourself. Of course, milage will vary
