I’m not so sure about that. My brand new house in the Portland metro was cheaper than comparable older houses. I do get screwed a bit on taxes but they’re still lower than they were at my house in California for the same price. Overall I’m saving money. Going on three years and the only expense I’ve had in upkeep is air filters.

Also both new homes I’ve bought were in existing neighborhoods. Not all new homes are in new developments. I’m fact, I would avoid those like the plague. HOA hell + possible mello roos if in California.

A fair enough terminological point, but in this case, I'm not sure it is much more than a play on words. The parent was clearly talking about longer-lived debt and debt financial instruments, where the debt changes hands so the debt-closing parties aren't necessarily the same as the parties that formed the debt.

To quote:

> Because no one can be compelled to accept Bitcoin to extinguish my debts to them (i.e. by the courts) and I can't pay my taxes in Bitcoin to my local government (no, "just-in-time currency exchange doesn't count).

In the edge cases of (almost) immediately resolved debt, this is a non-problem, given that we can simply agree not to complete a transaction in case one of the parties involved doesn't want to accept Bitcoin. Hence, the fact that you cannot be compelled to accept Bitcoin is irrelevant in this situation.

I'm Australian, worked in SF 4 years, and left to start my company because the startup visa was axed.

There is a tonne of support for startups, and I've had no issues raising money. After all the "free money" and taking into account the reduced cost of SWEs, the math works out to be the same as fund raising in the US.

I've been told, and now that I'm hiring have started to observe, that there is a category of new graduate who may be less ambitious than in other countries.

You get emails which to me read "I'm a newly graduated X, I'm now ready to join your company to continue my education". I would say there are fewer people who have applied themselves through hobbies and side projects during their education.

I get that not everyone thinks that you should need to have side projects, but honestly I learned to code writing bots for MMORPGs, not university.

The good news is that you have access to the whole European market, and because the jobs are more spread out good people in other countries are paying attention to whats available elsewhere.

I had a discussion on this topic a while ago, and IMO a reasonable stance to take could be that, yeah, there might be some congenital differences among people in terms of their abilities to perform certain tasks. However, this doesn't mean that people should be treated way too differently just based on that factor.

Isn't the ultimate left-wing dream "everybody doing whatever they enjoy/are good at, but treated absolutely equally"? Obviously we can't really be there yet due to a limitation on the total amount of available resources, and we do have to reward people more who hold important positions and make big impacts. However the point is if somebody is born without that much resources/luck/congenital abilities or whatnot, it's not their fault and they should still be totally respected and well treated. That could be a more sensible way to approach this instead of being absolutist.

Also I still believe that luck and resources far outstrip so-called "raw talent" in the vast majority of cases/jobs, unless you are to be Usain Bolt or something. So the importance of IQ or not doesn't really change their point that much.
Seattle actually has extremely high transit ridership and walk commmute share, which is pretty impressive considering how the transit system is mostly buses right now. And by 2024, major centers in the region will be connected by rail transit that is faster than road travel. Anecdotally, I live pretty well without a car here; I use Uber and Lyft when transit don't work out, and if I want to hike usually one of my friends will have a ride. So it feels just like back home in New York, except the trains and buses have a better chance of showing up on time.

It was also built when nobody who the government cared about owned land in the West, before pesky environmental regulations, and when 20MPH was an acceptable speed for a train.

Today California High Speed Rail and Texas Central and Florida's Brightline have to deal with angry suburban neighbors, angry farmers, and legal and environmental review processes that are the result of a century and a half's worth of hindsight.

Imo, it's a bit unfortunate to drill the curiousity out of kids. I'm very thankful for being allowed to mess around unsupervised on my father's work computer as a 7 y/o. Pressed a lot of stuff I didn't know what it did and learned in the process.
I have the same experience, to keep up with OS updates alone is a ton of work.

I just realized that the text editor I wrote together with friends in University (still usable and open source) Tincta turns 10 this year. Maybe it's time for some serious update with support for the new programming languages that came out, as well as some UI overhaul. With Tincta we also went through some porting pain, like changes to NSTextStorage, which broke with 10.6 for us and the bug report was answered with "wait for 10.7..." and before that the swift introduction and deprecation of GC.

While I still enjoy writing software for macOS, actually more than for iOS, it's hard for Indie developers. I also wish that people would realize how much work it is to create and maintain software over years and why $1.99 is not enough for every app.
Only because current level of information technology is not able to support word government (in practice, not in theory). We can see the process of further unification looking at EU, which seems to a be current maximum level of unification.

You don't need to score high marks in IQ tests to pass calculus, and there are plenty of fields of research in engineering where a good grasp of calculus is fundamental. Thus, quite obviously you can become an engineering professor eventhough you suck at calculus.

It'll happen eventually, and likely without force. Taiwan (like HK) enjoyed relative economic success versus China because of their ties with the west, beneficial strategic location and relatively small population. Now that China's an economic superpower, still growing and liberalizing (albeit slowly), theres less reasons for Taiwan to oppose reunification. I doubt it'll happen in the next decade, but it likely will within 50 years.

I was recently re-reading this essay and found the last blurb about Isaac Newton to be particularly insightful.

Newton has a strange role in my pantheon of heroes: he's the one I reproach myself with. He worked on big things, at least for part of his life. It's so easy to get distracted working on small stuff. The questions you're answering are pleasantly familiar. You get immediate rewards—in fact, you get bigger rewards in your time if you work on matters of passing importance. But I'm uncomfortably aware that this is the route to well-deserved obscurity.

To do really great things, you have to seek out questions people didn't even realize were questions. There have probably been other people who did this as well as Newton, for their time, but Newton is my model of this kind of thought. I can just begin to understand what it must have felt like for him.

You only get one life. Why not do something huge? The phrase "paradigm shift" is overused now, but Kuhn was onto something. And you know more are out there, separated from us by what will later seem a surprisingly thin wall of laziness and stupidity. If we work like Newton.
Without time to build not afraid to lose capital?
Think you need to learn Bayesian Analysis. Read this first
> But at the world level, it's just some of us choosing to consume more than we produce right now, and others of us choosing to consume less than we produce right now.

I don't think it is that simple. 1) If the world is overleveraged you wind up in a situation where the insolvency of one debtor dominoes over to the lender, who is then unable to pay the next debtor, etc. In one sense some leverage means we are interconnected, which is good because we are likely to pay attention to each other, but if it gets too much, that the effects of bad events can spread.

2) By the nature of compounding interest, having a system that depends on leverage (as ours does now) puts a societal requirement on growth that is enforced through fiscally punitive reinforcement... So that is a fundamental reason why there is a lot of consumption, environmental destruction, and energy demand, even when we try to be active towards conservation -- our current economic structure (and i'm not talking about 'capitalism') simply is not compatible with those goals writ large.

3) when a individual cannot pay their debt, it is because they consensually took on that debt. When a sovereign nation cannot pay its debt, often times the effects are generational, and very much nonconsenual. The current generation cannot go back in time and vote against the profligate spending of the previous generation. One wonders if this is ethically tenable, yet every government does it. Moreover, when a government overspends, the ill effects of that overspending typically hurt the poorest the hardest.

There is a saying, "real writing is rewriting."

Ideally the final draft is something that has been very aggressively refactored, multiple times, with input from a Refactoring Engineer.

(Did I just invent a new job category? I don't think there's currently any equivalent of an Editor in the Software Engineering world; code review is a chaotic approximation.)

Unfortunately there is usually pressure, and maybe also desire, to just make it work, maybe with tests, and move on to the next thing, at least in companies.

Having lived in both Seattle and DC... this is wrong, at least comparing those two. DC managed to build a new line out to Dulles with others in the works, Seattle's light rail is a joke if you're trying to use it for more than a straight line through the city.

A common misconception people have about the DC metro is that it belongs to DC, but the abbreviation WMATA has nothing to do with DC for a reason. Maryland, Virginia, and I believe even the Federal Govt have to be a part of any changes that happen there. Given that, it's an absolute wonder that anything works.

Oh, and by the way, I think lots of 'futuristic' buildings in visual forms of fiction in fact look like brutalism and, I'm even afraid to say, constructivism. All those wacky towers and endless rooftops in cyberpunk films. Video games in particular, and especially Quake, remind a lot of brutalism―probably because individually designed brutalist buildings look interesting from every angle and at the same time are pretty simple (not much to model): https://www.format.com/magazine/galleries/design/lego-sculpt...

I work in automotive embedded. And yes, the field is bloated. Yes, things could be more efficient. But even if all those problems went away, I still don't think it's feasible building one-off ECU's for usage in a friend's car.

Those things take a great amount of effort and time. The complexity is pretty big. Granted, I mostly work on instrument clusters, and I believe they are one of the biggest systems in the car, but the complexity is huge. I found it hard to carry the mental model of the whole system in my head.

After-market ECU's are deff possible, because you do a couple thousands of units at a time. But doing it for one ECU, I think not. Not if you put an upper-cap on the effort you are willing to expend. You're probably better off just buying a new car at that point.

I agree that MOOCs, particularly in areas such as math and physics, are woefully insufficient.

I'd be wary of being dazzled by the performance metrics here. I've been disappointed in the past using out of the box language models on data that they weren't trained on, e.g. SpaCy. I feel like people put too much emphasis on trying to get the high score on benchmark datasets, and they're overtraining to those particular domains.

For example, try using named entity models trained on CoNLL (newspaper articles) on free text (e.g. tweets, or text from application forms), you generally get pretty bad results. When the domain is different, I've even seen them screw up basic things like times and dates, where regexes will suffice. If you're using it for newspaper articles you're sorted, if you're not, the performance metrics here are probably not all that meaningful.

Its not a new paradigm,its a framework and its more or less just design thinking reformulated regardles of his intentions. Move fast and break things was a new paradigm. Design thinking sounds great on paper but is only as good as the cogs in the wheel and therin lies the problem. It doesent offer any transcendence between insights and application. It doesent pass the no-test.

To the extent that a designer isnt needed neither is the non designer who should be doing to design instead.
I am making mine right now - I spend too much money and save too little. I'm working on it, but it's proving difficult to get out of the habit. When I was a freelancer saving was easy because I didn't have the illusion of a consistent paycheck. But now I'm in a full time, stable job in a country where employee rights are good and job security is high, and I'm not prioritizing saving as much as I know I should. This is something I'll be working hard to improve.
