Is SPA with unique-urls (think angular-routing) still a SPA ? Most of my websites+apps are done using Angular/PWA.
> When I first hit $100K income, I would take a peek at my W2 for a few days admiring the six digits, but then it wore off. When I hit $200K, $300K, $400K, and $500K, it was the same thing. I would be delusional to think that earning $1M, or $10M would suddenly make it different.

>What is out there that I could do that would make me excited waking up every day for the next 45 years that could also earn me enough money to cover my expenses?

At $500k, with UK tax rates (probably higher than US), you'd have $275k net. If you remove generous expenses, you have $200k a year in savings. Five years working would get you $1M.

With $1M, you would probably never have to work again (~$40k in safe withdrawal per year).

Then you'd have the ability to pick any job, irrespective of pay. Go help charities, help with research, spend all your time on open source projects, whatever you want.
Sure, American medicine does, for non-human animals. I suspect that at least part of the difference is that veterinary medicine is mostly uncorrupted by insurance.

And there is little reason to use hardware store cyanoacrylate glue on skin — you don’t know what’s in it, and there is evidence that hardware store formulations may cause issues on skin. Animals get to use a product such as Vetbond, which is designed for the purpose and is not much more expensive. (A whole bottle of Vetbond, which is reusable, seems to cost a little less than a single Dermabond applicator.)

Curious to know if you've seen/used it before, or if you just saw it now. FWIW, we have a server-side widget that can be installed on blogs, in case you're interested. Helps maintain attention, and a study done by CNET found that readers were 35% more likely to finish an article when reading with BeeLine.
IIRC they use powdered mashed potatoes now.

I'm not sure if there's an official "medical powdered mashed potatoes" that doctors use.
Out of curiosity, in what way do you see the right moving towards authoritarianism?
I think what's more confusing than ASI are the mental gymnastics developers go through to justify typing semicolons daily, rather than installing a linter once, or reading the ASI spec.

Python and Ruby support semicolons for occasional statement termination; why is JavaScript any different? I can't help but think "semicolons by default" would be regarded as ritualistic if the practice was never popularized in the first place.
I think it's due to a fundamental misunderstanding of how leadership works.

There are a number of studies that suggest that transparency past a certain point decreases the effectiveness of a democracy.

The implication being that most people have a worse calibration than professionals on when to deal and when to oppose, to achieve their goals as often as possible. And consequently people drive their leaders to act counter to the people's own interests out of negotiation ignorance.

Authoritarianism is a mirage of effectiveness against a morass of the public's own making.
You right.

Let's say a 7% annual compound interest over 10 years (which I think, is debatable). That puts you at $5,800/mo. I think my argument still stands?
Perhaps there is a (small) chance that the people in charge of managing SVF's $100 billion fund have a better idea of how to manage that volume of money than you.

The overhead of sourcing and dealing with 200 investments is not small: they've only managed to invest $50 billion of their fund. Their minimum check size is $100 million. [1]

Yeah, that was my answer -- and actually I wrote /usr/bin/true on SO but got sloppy here.

I wrote that answer because I recalled it as a common idiom in autoconf or something -- some automake system I'd seen where the system seeks out the tools it needs and defines them as variables.

Indeed they are... though in this particular case there were a bunch of other factors that caused this particular relationship to fail, but even with those considered, they don't make her a shitty person, she is more than the sum of her parts. Just because the relationship was unworkable, doesn't make her a bad person or even a bad spouse, they just make us bad partners to one another.
Even though Hungary has a great, safe, fun culture,
young people who can are running away to Western Europe because of the huge corruption that's going on in Hungary compared to the size of the country.

Don't let the strongly manipulated voting system that favors villages instead of representation in the number of people make you think that Orban is popular. Many people outside Budapest still like him, but more and more people come to realize that power concentrated in one hand is dangerous.

As for me I'm a big believer in decentralization (Bitcoin) helping to solve some of the political problems, but of course there's still a lot to do to undo the centralization that's going on in the judicial system and the media.
There is a place for SPAs. I just built a single page React app (using the create-react-app package) that mostly replaced a complex pile of spreadsheets. It came out fantastic, I think. The entire compressed Javascript is about 150 kilobytes, the scripts typically load in less than 500 milliseconds, and my co-workers are very happy. The code is easy to change and the interface between the client and server is clean. (Note: I disabled the built-in PWA features; they made versioning difficult due to excessive caching.)

On the other hand, I also maintain a public facing service that is mostly server-rendered with lots of JQuery snippets. I don't see a need to convert it to a SPA. It works well as-is.

I conclude from my experience that public facing services probably shouldn't be SPAs, while things that outgrow spreadsheets might be good candidates for SPAs. I wonder what other areas have been explored.

THREE Small Business Insurance from Berkshire Hathaway
I believe another self driving car company, Aurora, also raised $500mn recently [1] I don't really understand how these companies are attracting these massive sums, given that even a company like Google has made limited progress in 10 years after investing several billions. On top of that there are heavy weight car manufacturers like VW and BMW who are also investing in this technology.

Yes, I saved a lot. About $1M in liquid assets. But I meant that I'll start with no income, no product, no business. I'll write another post about how I set up my safety net.
Yes. The lxc commit[1] states that this issue only affects privileged containers. No CVE has been issued for lxc because they consider privileged containers to be insecure.

In my experience unprivileged containers work for most tasks, but there is breakage in some areas. Usually the issues are simple to resolve, like disabling OOM adjustments in systemd or changing the idmap range in winbind to be within the namespace allotment.

You mischaracterize the article. It mentions the FDA, and perhaps more importantly other disincentives.

Hospitals desire more expensive solutions because they get paid more for them. That is a second, enormous barrier.

The incentives are clear here. The costs are high, between regulations, marketing, out-maneuvering rent-seeking incumbents, and cultural issues. The reward is low. No one will become a billionaire for doing this work.
Yes, that is their tagline. Take a look at their strategy document[0] if you want to understand why the parent's interpretation is more accurate.

I had a really interesting meeting with a huge institutional investor last week ($50b+ balance sheet) that has a ~$2b allocation to VC.

They said that softbank has almost had a "chilling effect" on their VC group - especially around investments that are truly capital intensive.

Their strategy has shifted away from Series A and towards Series B / C where they can either co-invest with SoftBank, or if wait and see where Softbank invests before they pick a horse in a category they like so they at least have that info in as part of their investment calculus.

EDITED last paragraph for clarity
I was wondering the same thing about satellite based internet, but was thinking the old school versions rather than a SpaceX solution. I have not read up on any of the SpaceX plans or what their coverage would look like (US focused, global, etc).

The one thing that I would be somewhat concerned with trying to operate like this would be simple radio games. Would digital uplink transmissions be easily traceable? Not knowing the size of antenna required, how portable would it be? How much effort would it be for the uplink to be detected, triangulated, and goon squad dispatched?
This sounds really good to the ear, but it's just not true is it? Americans have a lot of choice when it comes to these things, at least compared to healthcare.
TL;DR OP liked his job, but his motivation was decreasing. Could be possible earning much more in the next few years. Gonna build his own things from now on.

Long story short money is not everything. I understand it. I'm currently unemployed working on my own things and I pretty like it. Although I don't have that much money saved and probably I'm gonna find work soon, I've found out that I'm that kind of person, who wants to explore the world by myself and on my own terms.

Here is a good example of how you can max out a solo 401k and use a private pension plan.

The dumbest thing in the world is working at FAANG at high salary levels. Unless your are in the C-suite you are always in a precarious position. It's not easy to justify the high salary at a competitor all the time.

The best strategy is to get good amount of revenue via a solo S-corp and minimize your payroll taxes. Hell your defined benefit plan can purchase all the FAANG stock it wants. You don't want to be the Sun employee with many stock options that are worthless in a downturn. At least you can dump your stocks and have some flexibility in your own defined benefit plan.
Most people would happily struggle for independence on half of "nothing".

Now, as warped as this all seems, this pales in comparison to what some tech people make in finance.
Trust but verify: Machine learning’s magic masks hidden frailties
Are you bemoaning the lack of backward incompatible changes, or the lack of major version numbers because it feels like progress?
I happen to do some IT field support for my vet - she has one of these machines too, with the same problem of expensive reagents.

The problem space here is: of course anyone can mix the fluids together from powder... but under what conditions? Tested for impurities, contaminants or unevenly mixed/clumped powder? For a clean water source? Regular batch checks to ensure the stuff is up to spec? Mess up one of these things, the system doesn't work/produces false results, a pet or a human dies and the payout sums can be enormous.

The latter risk and the insurance premiums as well as mitigation risks are why medical stuff is so insanely expensive.

And another thing: at least when someone dies, it's over. Bit of a lump sum to relatives of the deceased, funeral cost, that's it. Now, when someone does not die, but gets stuck with brain damage, in an awake coma or bedridden for life, the costs of keeping that person alive can well run into double-digit millions of euros whereas 50 years ago that person would simply die sooner or later. Midwifes in Germany are retiring in droves because insurance premiums have skyrocketed - due to exploding costs for newborns requiring extensive care after e.g. being stuck in the vaginal canal during birth.
Data Science for Business (comprehensive introduction for online businesses)
The reason why I made the switch was that it really irked me when one line missed a semicolon.

No warning, no error and completely valid code. It really triggered my proverbial OCD. That one function out of ten where I made that typo.

So I stopped, and it was a major relief. Note that I didn't use a linter at that time.

I don't really mind semicolons in languages where they are enforced, but I also don't end statements in Python with semicolons.
I'd guess that a lot of that "safety" depends on the audibility of what happens on financial trading platforms. If someone manipulates them, this can be discovered (and the manipulator punished) precisely because there's a trail recording exactly who did what.

If a voting platform has such a trail, what becomes of ballot secrecy? And if it doesn't, how will the process be reliably audited?

I'm sure a simple, transparent, and bullet-proof blockchain solution is just around the corner. /s

> Israel uses the tactic of antisemitism quite often, even when you clearly criticize a government policy of Israel, not the people.

China has been doing this too. Any time someone brings up Chinese civil rights abuses, there's always one or two people crying racism, even though the victims are (mostly) also Chinese.
That seems like fine feedback as long as it was coupled with further specific and actionable feedback. e.g, "You yelled at Alice and Bob in the discussion about project X, rather than helping build a consensus about the right solution." Senior engineers should be solving problems in the org, not causing them.
I've heard of Amazon paying between $200 and $300K for software engineers, but this is the first time I've heard of them paying $500K!
Goodness, I don't have any work/life balance now, so it really makes me wonder if I shouldn't start applying at Amazon.
I have bad news - that one isn't a laugh track, those are real people there specifically for the taping laughing at those terrible jokes. Two and a Half Men had the same "live studio audience" setup.
What kind of companies pay software engineers 300k+? Is it realistic to make 500k-1 million+ at these companies as a developer? What sort of title/level are these developers at? How much is it in stocks/rsus vs salary at that point? Can someone lay out a traditional example at this level? What skillsets do these people have?

“If we’re already in the time-is-money mindset, we can reframe our leisure time as something that enables us to be more productive in the future,”

It’s a bummer that we’ve gotten to a point that in order to relax and enjoy time off we need to somehow frame it as “productive”. I think it speaks to something deeper.
> I made $75K in my first year and that gradually grew to $511K by my last year.

Wow, I'm envious of this rate of internal raises. Is this consistent within Amazon's culture, or other SV companies?

I've found (in the small-town Midwestern shops I frequent, not in the FAANG bubble) that I have to change employers to do better than a token 3-5% annual raise, even if my value to the company is increasing much more quickly.

I've even been heartily congratulated and thanked at my annual review for completing successful, profitable projects in my first year at one job, and offered a reward of a $1/hour raise. I was a bit shocked, as that represented a pay cut when you factored in inflation. They 'capitulated' to an increase of $1.50/hour, which was just about keeping up...had to go look elsewhere to do better.
Virtually everything cited in this thread boils down to simple economics. The production costs for "AAA" titles have skyrocketed, driven by consumer demand for more content and better graphics. The game industry has the economics of the blockbuster-driven entertainment industry—massive capital expenditure in the hopes of eking out some kind of a profit, with flops easily leading to financial ruin. This is in contrast to the tech industry, which yields enormous profits on very little investment. Unlike Blizzard, Google doesn't need an army of artists to keep dollars coming out of the AdWords faucet.

I have a hard time understanding anger directed at game studios for doing what they need to do to survive. It's one of the toughest tech-related industries there is.
I think their point isn't that the terms are incorrect but that the word freelancer is undervalued by respective clients versus consultant/contractor. Similar to how if you say you are moonlighting, people will take you less seriously regardless of actual skill.

It's figurative language. "1Million" in "currency unspecified"

In my usage of SemiVer I felt it lacked what I call a "gestalt number" which would be the first number, representing broad changes to the design which (almost always) necessarily include API changes. But API changes can happen within the same "gestalt".
Author here. Agree. But I bet most of the audience here is already earning enough. Once you cover the basics, the returns of additional income diminish quickly. I chose to say how much I was earning just to emphasize that everything was really going well at my job, including compensation.
Welcome to the 21st century. You're an information sharecropper. And don't tell me about the great wages because inflation is eating that up before your very eyes. It's a fucking illusion of prosperity with no actual prosperity.

Some people just want a leading version number that they can spin manually.

For example, the creator of Backbone: https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/2888#issuecomme...

I say: why not both.
There is a slight advantage of separation in frontend & backend - writing tests for an API-only backend is so easy. On the other hand, the frontend SPA still needs tests, and I have no idea how to make that trivial yet.

P.S. If you folks want a really small react-like SPA, I recommend either https://mithril.js.org or https://riot.js.org

And you can avoid state management complexity by using a pattern like http://meiosis.js.org
The biggest thing is that flat rate doesn’t do is anticipate risk. If through nobody’s ill intent a task takes 5x longer or 5x less, it’s all swallowed up by the flat rate.

That’s a feature for a productized service.

It also works for well-scoped tasks. I wouldn’t pay someone by the hour to cut the grass.
You don't need income with $1M. If you chuck that into an index tracker you can safely withdraw $40k a year...
This is a very common theme. Once you reach a certain threshold of income (not everybody though) you start valuing freedom, flexibility, traveling and start looking beyond work. This is primarily because money has lost its forcing function. Even if you have the best setup in terms of work, compensation, co-workers, you lose motivation and drift away. This isn't true of everybody though, most successful entrepreneurs despite earning massive amounts of money, are still as hungry, motivated, and dedicated to their work as the first day.
By your guess each new Linux release would have about 5000 new RCEs. So that's 25000-30000 new RCEs over the last year alone.
How do you make 500K at Amazon, is that 200K base, 50K bonus and 250K in stock ?
You see a lot of that in some odd lifestyle bloggers and media folks.

They have a bunch of money, move upstate, talk about all these crafty / cosey things they do and how great a life choice they made and contrast it with a lot of bad things .... that are the only reason they can make the choices they can now.

That sounds good, but it's not true. There's a world of minute clinics out there with PAs and LPNs. There is mail order medicine and Walmart's pharmacy. There are bronze plans/borderline broken leg plans. There's a real problem with medical care access and finances, but it's not gold-plated or nothing.

What kind of skill sets do you have to warrant Amazon paying you that much? What kind of skill sets do developers have at this level that differentiates them from everyone else?
