Between the cost of daycare, health care/insurance, pet care, car payments and maintenance, student loan payments, and then a mortgage (even a cheap mortgage) on top of that, not to mention saving something for retirement, forget the 10x your salary by the time you retire or whatever, and once every 2-3 years go on a vacation at least to the next state over, I do sometimes wonder how households can make ends meet on less than $100k a year, and have no idea how a household can get by on the average $60k a year.

I know living in certain areas are a lot cheaper, but the salaries are usually a lot lower in those areas as well.

Not to mention get married (wedding costs are insane, going through that right now) or other life events.

We make more than that, have no children, and we're still shuffling money around to make it all work. I can't wait to finally pay off my student loans in a couple of years. My fiancee might never get hers paid off, she's barely making a dent in hers.
Surreals and Hyperreals have lots of "extra" numbers that don't exist in the reals. They're a bit niche though.

Another point I recently heard, and I can't recall the exact quote off my head but it was along the lines of: "Amazon at this point is really just a cloud company that is using it's cloud earnings to subsidize its other business arms to grow to a big enough scale where it can choke out all other competitors."

What is the support number for people to call when Google locks them out of their account because of an unrelated issue with a separate Alphabet property? There is an established track record for Google screwing over people unfairly.
A couple years ago ICANN started letting companies buy customized TLDs through an auction process. I'm not sure how much they paid, but for comparison, Google tried buying .blog a while ago but was outbid by Automattic, who paid $19 million. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11686086
Every time I see privilege come up, people start denying it, or excusing it. Saying things like "I still had to work hard for this!"

It's a tricky subject to talk about, as the article references, specifically because it's hard to differentiate between what you got from privilege and what you got from hard work.

I find analogies best to talk about it. Your goal is to reach the top floor of a building. Some people start at the penultimate floor. Some start on the 2nd floor. Others are in the basement. Every single one takes effort to climb the steps. But some have a big head start, and can even fail down a few floors and still have it easier than other people.

Or support multicast/mDNS and use .local.

I feel like mDNS isn't used enough in general so there are weird cross-implementation bugs in it. (Partly just because of weird overlaps between early Bonjour entities, modern mDNS stacks, and weird-in-betweeners like "UPnP".) A lot more peer-to-peer applications could bootstrap better from mDNS than currently do simply because bootstrapping from known HTTP(S) endpoints is easier and less buggy.

I've wondered at times if, say, enterprise adoption of .local and proper mDNS might be a kick in the pants to sort out mDNS and make it better for everyone.
This is a normal Dutch auction.

If your question is why not run a standard auction, the answer is that operational overhead to do that is much higher than simply having a given price for creations on a given day, and there'd thus be fewer registrars participating. You need a whole eBay-like experience to run a standard auction; it's a non-trivial amount of work just to support one launch.

The term self-made is just too imprecise to be useful. The three major factors involved in an individual's success are:

#1 Genetics - High general intelligence, ambition, etc.

#2 Environment - Highly educated well-off parents, etc.

#3 Opportunity - Support of powerful people, etc.

You probably can't do much without at least one of these factors. Most people that do big things have all three working in their favor.

People like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, and Paul Graham had all three.

On the other hand, people like Steve Jobs, John Carmack, Palmer Luckey, and Larry Ellison only had #1 working for them, which is why their success is so much more impressive.
No, I likely wouldn't have been able to do much else. I was already poor with health issues. It was only because of that first job that I was able to start addressing those problems before they became dire. I had to take a deep gamble because I quite literally moved with $0 to my name.

It sounds like you're really out of touch with how deep poverty can affect people.
I've always wondered about that but never had the funding or knowledge to tackle the challenge myself.

Well, your school friends might know some people who went to the same schools but weren't as successful because they were 'lazy'. Ergo their 'hard work' is what differentiates them from those people (on the last mile). You, however, look at it with a different scope.

This comment fundamentally misunderstands what insider trading is. There is no such thing as "insider trading" in private equity - insider trading by necessity is gaining an unfair advantage via non-public information. Private equity and venture capital investors both get access to substantial non-public information and are allowed to buy and sell equity in the private markets with as much or as little non-public info as they want, because that is not disadvantaging other public investors lacking that information.
Rising inequality and the expansion of the welfare state have transformed "self-made" into an aspiration. Even prior to the gilded age being "self-made" was rare.. only a few people were able to pull themselves up to success. If you want to read an American self-made tale pick up "Up From Slavery".

Anyway, I grew up lower-middle class. My parents were immigrants and we came from the poorest country in the western hemisphere (Haiti) with no generational wealth. I don't consider myself 'self-made', I'd say there was a mix of luck, support from the state (rent control, FAFSA, EITC, etc.) and self directed hard work.

It sounds like to me that the author got some "generational help" and feels like they were not able to capitalize, unlike some of the other profiled in this article. And thus is taking a zero-sum view of the concept of "self-made".

Most parent's would do anything for their kids lives to end up better than theirs did. I won't have any qualms about paying my kids tuition or helping with a down payment when the time comes.
I’ve never had success with “A to Z” refunds, to the point it seems designed not to work — and instead, actively use Amazon’s brand loyalty to enable fraud.

I wonder, was my trust as a customer who spends thousands of dollars a year ever worth more than $20 to Amazon?

Because they sure were quick enough to throw it away over $20, when one of their business partners defrauded me via their website.

(PS — if you work at Amazon, and your internal metrics show that customer trust is worth more than 0.005 dollars per customer dollar spent, you have made business decisions WAY out of alignment with your metrics.)

At this point, you're gaslighting.

The procedure creates a means that can be exploited for fishing expeditions. The details of exploitability have been well enumerated in previously given literary examples.

Every infrastructural/institutional mechanism we implement or allow to be implemented is an undeniable weapon.

Just as some people may be nervous when others do something perfectly legal (walking around with a firearm), others get understandably nervous when others clamor in support of instituting new mechanisms to allow our civil institutions to circumvent due process.

"Someone was here at a time" is not a justification in and of itself for the casual dismissal of what normatively should be a right: the right to be free of being surveilled.

Does the jurisprudence provide for such a protection? No.

Would it have an Earth shattering impact on the business world if such a legislation was passed?

Absolutely.

Should we pass it?

in my opinion, yes, absolutely.

We've spent decades experimenting and finding out what happens when no one takes a firm stance against these seemingly innocuous forms of data gathering. People build systems with little pieces of innocuous information which in isolation are harmless, but in aggregate allow a terrifying capability to predict and otherwise manipulate or outright harm an individual.

Data aggregation protection must happen. We cannot allow the weaponization of data, even sanctioned, against our descendants, or we are as culpable in the erosion of liberty for them as those who came before us.

No more. Enough is enough.
We have an existing example to extrapolate from. Cantonese is the native dialect in Guangzhou and it's fading away in the current generation of children in no small part because of government pressure in schools. It's likely that something similar will happen in Macau and HK.

Yeah, but it's hard to identify those people until their useful business lifespan is half over. Technologists are at least assumed to have some idea of the possibilities; plenty of "visionaries" come up with unworkable visions that we conveniently forget about in hindsight, because they were bad visions of the future.
>But all that is because of one stroke of luck - I am proud of the fact that I was able to use that luck to my advantage but under no illusion that all my success is due to me alone.

I would call you fortunate, not lucky. You didn't fall sideways into your success; you were given an opportunity and _you_ made the most of it. Many others may not have done the same.

We all owe a part of our success to _some_ number of external factors, but go deep enough and it gets absurd (e.g. we all owe our success to irrigation because, without it, we'd be subsistence farmers.) Seeing an opportunity and pouncing on it is not the same as being handed a trust fund and a full ride to Harvard.
There is something known as a "Chinese wall" that prevents that in banking.
I am not sure if there is one in consulting.

> A Chinese wall is an ethical barrier that prevents communication between members of an organization that might lead to conflicts of interest. For example, a Chinese wall could exist between departments where the exchange of information could unfairly influence trades. The "wall" is figuratively erected to safeguard insider information and protect private data that could create negative implications and legal consequences if improperly shared.

BREAKING DOWN Chinese Wall
> Protecting client data and confidential information is critical to any business but is especially important to companies with diversified services, such as insurance companies, banks, and other financial services firms.

> The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) of 1999 repealed the Glass-Steagall Act that prohibited banks, insurance companies, and financial services companies from acting as combined firms, such as banks offering insurance products. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act resulted in a surge of mergers and increased diversification of services, as well as an increase in fears and public scrutiny. One concern was the protection and sharing of confidential information and personal consumer data with those of contrary interests. In response to growing concerns, many companies adopted the Chinese Wall concept.

You have to be lucky perhaps to be wildly successful, but you'd have to be quite unlucky to work hard and take smart risks and fail to be successful at all. Similarly, you have to be very, very lucky to rise from poverty to wealth without working hard or taking smart risks. In particular, seeing and executing on a narrow-window opportunity that others miss is itself an accomplishment.

The idea that self-made success is purely a matter of luck is either a myth or true only by some meaningless definition of what constitutes "luck" (i.e., you're lucky that you have the ability and personality to reliably execute well and achieve success).

Don't forget student loans. We have a whole generation of people that are saddled with large student loans. They can easily spend all the money that would have gone towards saving for a house downpayment on paying their student loan payment instead.
This is anecdotal, but I used to work at a large (Fortune 500) financial company. The CEO had no engineering experience, but every year they would do an annual summit of the goals of the company. Over 50% of the talk every year, they would drill down pretty deep into technical topics, I was always amazed that at that level he actually knew enough to be able to describe complex data engineering topics and machine learning models. Even if it was rehearsed, I always came off the talks super impressed with their ability to talk at that detail.

Also, Bezos was a Computer Science major and a developer for 4 years after graduation.
You're citing the classic superoptimization paper, although it's actually quite old at this point. The goal of superoptimization has always been to try to compile to the no-real-C-equivalent instructions in an ISA, which includes the weird vector instructions such as PCMPISTRI. (I believe Strata attempted to match some of these instructions, and I think they managed to get formulas for about half of the weird immediate forms--these are the instructions that caused them to match "half" an instruction).

In any practical vectorized tight inner-loop, the block you're trying to optimize is inherently going to be large. Superoptimization is exponential in the size of the block being optimized, which limits its utility. That was my entire point: it becomes unacceptably expensive way too quickly to get used in compilers. (Some of the code I'm looking at right now has 100s of instructions in a single basic block, definitely not atypical for a compiler).
Sorry for the negativity, man. I hope this thing succeeds in a big way. Only consider this point a little while, and don't rule out grepping through the code base with the name change just now.

At the very least you need the title and author metadata. This can be done in the filesytem, but it's unweildy. I use Fbreader and run a Calibre server to manage my collection and epub metadata.

That's the etymology of the two roots of the word, but it's not the English definition which specifically refers to discrimination against Jews. The word is from a German term which was created by an antisemite in order to make his hate speech sound more reasonable.

I say this in no way to discredit your argument against the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism. It's possible to be critical of Zionism without being antisemitic.

>"nothing to hide" strawmen

Obviously I have no source for this except for personal experience but fwiw about %90 of the people I talk to here in the Bay Area believe the benefits of serveillance outweigh the harms and communicate such by saying they have "nothing to hide". I know my sample could be biased somehow but I've organized groups of activists before and done recruiting for such activities all around the bay (from ghetto to mansion). I have definitely noticed a trend. People here and on the internet seem more perceptive but that's definitely biased by my limited visited websites. I think it's impossible to have a constructive conversation about serveillance without talking about the "nothing to hide" people since, after all, in order to change policy you have to get people to agree on policy change.

> What they already do in smartphones, but better. Almost guarantee you’ll never miss a shot (no blinks, blur, bad exposure), better signal processing, etc

OK, but that seems to be turning the camera into a point-and-shoot and I am not sure most of what is left of the ILC market wants that (or maybe it is just me). For me, I would ultimately want to control things like exposure, shutter opening, etc... myself (who is to say a "bad" over/under-exposed photo or some blur won't make for a better photo?).

I think people who want a point-and-shoot like experience are by-and-large are happy with smartphone cameras today (especially with advanced processing like Android's Night Sight), and they are not going to carry around a bulky ILC just to take photos.

In any case, I think Zeiss is trying to do something similar to what you want with the ZX1, and I will be interested to see how large that market is.
Unfortunately, 'mauricio' is on the global domain reserve list administered by ICANN, so it cannot be registered on any ngTLD. I believe it's Mauritius in another language?
I'm not terribly familiar with that area but I know a bit about Chinese languages. HK and Macau are adjacent to Guangdong which is a Cantonese speaking province. There are many dialects within Cantonese, so someone from Taishan will speak a dialect of Cantonese that will probably be mutually intelligible with HK Cantonese but probably also has lots of major differences. I found a cool map of them on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Chinese#Distribution_and_v...

From what I know, as education improves and movement of people across large areas increases Mandarin becomes more and more common. As for movement within a Cantonese speaking area, I would guess that it might result in the adoption of a more common "standard" Cantonese over regional dialects in parallel with the increasing prevalence of Mandarin.
I like the idea.

There are two types of ml jobs. One for modeling and another for computation. The former deals with the communication with human. The latter deals with the communication with machines. I would prefer that a statistical logic programing language (maybe extended from prolog) for the modeling part. A strong compiler tool or service that compiles it into any machines, on cloud or edge. Most of the time, what human likes to achieve is small and declarative. But for any small modifications of the program, we have to think about the computational flow, deal with the type errors and tune the low level efficiency of CPU and GPU. It's a waste.

I like the settings of SQL where modelers use SQL to mine data while engineers maintain the performance of the computational engines.
