> $90M is an absurdly huge amount of money.

is it? A 10 million dollar house isn't all that special in a lot of parts of the country. A family worth 90 million can still have a lot of financial anxiety.
The phrase "Challenges can help me grow" is specific to the individual; that is, how you choose to accept them. The phrase "God's plan" implies that you are claiming to understand it in terms of not only what has happened to you, but what will happen to you in the future. It is one part prophesy, one part imposing your own desires and will upon God.

I don't know that I would personally consider it "heretical" (especially since I am an agnostic by way of Catholicism) but that would be my stab at understanding the difference between the phrases.
On the other hand, the baseball player will create much more than that in value while Lyft has lost billions of dollars. If someone here is underpaid it's not the Lyft founders.
Git doesn't HAVE to be set up as client-server. It's just that that makes the most sense for an organization most of the time.
...and yet the iPhone still would not have happened without that freak coincidence called iPod paving its way.

Looking back from the smartphone age, the original "spinning rust" iPod seems rather unspectacular, but at the time it was unprecedentedly expensive for a piece of portable recreational electronics. I entertain this theory that it would have stayed an exotic luxury item if it had not coincided with the "Napster revolution". MP3 piracy spread from the nerd niche to mainstream just in time for the iPod (edit: and, more importantly, from the tech nerd niche to the music nerd niche), providing potential iPod buyers not only with a music library big enough to justify the expensive HDD, but also freeing up funds which would have spent on CDs otherwise. Note that the ITMS wasn't introduced until the third generation iPod. The US CD market dropped billions in those years. The typical music collector buying an early iPod wasn't exactly a rich career person, more the scrappy urbanite type who spends their nights alternating between the tender and the patron side of a bar, playing in a band or dreaming of maybe becoming a music critic or a DJ one day.
Even medium retail easily does 10 million per month.

If you look at doi 10.1257/pol.20140224 you can see that the main difference in mortality is not at day one but late(er) in the first year. So likely the main difference is not due to the distinction between miscarriage and infant death. This is also matched by the fact that children born to middle class parents do statistically as well as kids born to European parents. It is children of poor parents that have the inflated mortality.

> So we just go around downvoting comments we don't agree with?

Is this that surprising at all? Discussions about this have been on reddit for years. This is the internet. No one owes anyone a civil argument or even a response, and a lot of bad faith actors are out there.

> Paranoid? Really?

Yes. I would categorize a comment that claims a lack of response by someone who downvoted you is assumed to be paid by Russians as paranoid.

EDIT: I'm not quite sure how seriously to take this exchange considering you both deleted the comment I was referring to in addition to responding on a comment I made on a post over a week ago on a completely unrelated topic.
The S-1 notes a lot of RSUs and options outstanding, that I assume are owned by the founders (and employees). So I assume when those kick in it'll be more than that.

I've spent the last decade developing custom software solutions to solve business problems. I've worked for billion dollar enterprises delivering software for consumer electronics. I've led a team of developers to modernize a companies systems to make them more maintainable and quicker to iterate. I've introduced best practices such as source control, continuous integration, code reviews, and testing to improve workflow and reliability.

I can help your company develop custom software specifically designed for your needs. I also provide services to smaller business that can't justify a full time architect where I will come in as needed and help architect a system or diagnose the reliability of existing systems while providing suggestions on how to improve.
> I absolutely see no problem with using readystate.

We have a load event now. Ready state is the legacy cruft left behind by Microsoft a decade ago. Let's not confuse new devs with magic numbers and convoluted events that are often cargo-culted incorrectly.

> To confront beginners with all their overhead (build tools for JS! Just crazy) is in no way helpful.

People have been dropping a jQuery CDN script tag on their pages since well before most build tools were invented. W3schools has _multiple_ "tutorials" that could be replaced with $('...').load('...').

It's rich when HN complains about websites that do things like break middle click and browser history and lack error states, but then advocate for trash code like w3schools peddles that makes these bad practices more common.

I don't know about good or bad, but for people like me, it's certainly convenient.
There is one good point in the post, which is that it would be cool if things not used by the repo were automatically hidden (but still accessible if you want to start using them). Dont have a wiki? Dont show the wiki button (hide it under "more"). Dont use Projects? Hide the Project tab.
That's surprisingly low. I would have expected much higher since I have been told that a bedside dimmer light is a US custom. It isn't a UK one at all as far as I know.

I'm in the UK, and I would guess that it is even lower here - close to non-existent outside of smart-home and IoT enthusiasts, and US expatriates.
Granted I only skimmed the article, but it seemed rather myopic to me. Why is the "dream home" assumed to be in an urban/suburban area? Why not in a small town or rural area?

In January 2018, we moved back from Charlottesville, VA (which itself isn't even "urban") to Harrison, AR. I was able to buy a five bedroom, two bath home on a half acre in a quiet neighborhood for under $125k.

My wife and I are beginning to put together our requirements for our next home, which will likely be a bit further from other people, outside city limits, and likely be on 5-10 acres. The cost will till be far less than even a three bedroom townhome would have been in Charlottesville.
1 million dollar sewer repair bill? unlikely.
I had a friend go through a roof replacement in his condo complex that cost $13k for each condo owner. I know nothing about plumbing but maybe it was per owner?

Incorrect

>1.) made in 2025 was announced in 2015. Crash happened last year in a sudden fashion across all luxury goods

Which is neither here nor there. Something can be announced in 2015 and be put in effect "last year", or have some significant component on it put in effect last year, or see the first major results of the overall thing a few years later.

>2.) brand loyalty doesn’t work like an immediate switch easily levered by a government.

Extra tariffs and support for local made products ("buy patriotic"), however does.

>3.) average Chinese citizens prefer foreign brands still, due to food and vaccine poisoning cases from local firms

Which is irrelevant to things that are not foods.

I want to say that after reading Montaigne, I get the impression that he did not consider stoicism a reasonable way of life, especially with respect to the writings of Seneca. He saw the dangers when virtues are taken to extremes. He(Montaigne) was more impressed by the ideas of temperance and moderation as espoused by Plutarch.
"Clyde Lin was scolded by his uncle after the 39-year-old pilot brought Meiyu into the family chat group late last year. “Who is this?” Mr. Lin said his uncle demanded. The family group contained too much personal information to give access to a bot, Mr. Lin said his uncle said."

His uncle is 100% correct. Adding a bot to a conversation thread is very likely literally connecting a hose up to your family discussions and sending all of them to a random startup. You wouldn't add in a random human fact-checker, and even with the illusion that the only entity reading your texts is a robot, there's no guarantee that will always be the case.

"Ms. Hsu, the developer, said Meiyu isn’t designed to collect personal data on users." 1) objectives change, 2) ownership changes, 3) it very likely collects personal data whether it's meaning to or not. Brilliant. I literally could not think of a better target for a state actor than something like this, which could give pretty deep insight into what people are thinking about you when they talk privately.

I can see why many would dislike this book vs. the sources, but it definitely makes the overall idea more palatable. Reading the Meditations isn't for everyone.
Right. Kubernetes does have its own operational complexities. The way you're now thinking of Erlang vs language X is also how I think about it.

My experience has been that Erlang is a very all or nothing investment. You need employees to read the literature, understand all the components, and then dive in.

With containers, you need to understand the very basics of building images and deploying processes, but you don't necessarily have to scare people with Kubernetes until you get to sufficiently large enough scale. Moving from compose to pods is a headache, but it's not as difficult as migrating from say mnesia to an sql database.
The sad part is that there are so many who haven't had the same realization.
Casper is basically a marketing company anyway, so they will probably deal with it using more marketing as well as continuing to slander other companies that they see as competitors.
I read that as "Series 1" and had to do a double take.
> A family worth 90 million will still have a lot of financial anxiety

My god, get out of the valley for even 2 minutes. $90,000,000 is an obscene amount of money literally anywhere in the world.
The review came off as genuine to me, as the author seems knowledgeable about electronics and manufacturing. It was good read. If anything, it doubles as promotion for Bolt VC.
Townhomes, at least in the Portland OR suburbs, cost exactly the same as stand alone homes while being typically smaller, sometimes with a one-car garage, and maybe only a small backyard (sometimes no backyard). While the list price of the townhome is typically less, you can pay hundreds of dollars per month for a HOA which brings your monthly payment up to almost the same price as a stand alone home.
In my experience, people are only interested in your ideas when you present them after already doing enough work to show it's possible or when you're asked for them.

I'm lucky enough i've got enough autonomy at my job that if I do get any 'great ideas' to change things up or anything, I can usually do a bit of work and at least see if it'll be feasible before I ever need to say anything.
Well we won’t know until they post Q1 results but they said yesterday they’re expecting a loss now, downgrading from initial plans to post a tiny profit. General consensus is that the halving of the federal tax credit drove down Q1 demand significantly.
Their example with LightGBM (https://nni.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gbdt_example.html) is very cool - I wanted to put together a custom script with mlflow + catboost + mlrMBO to do something similar, but this puts everything together in one package.

I think this does everything MLFlow does and more (besides maybe helping with deployment?)

The founders (theoretically) created $20B in value and you think $90M is sufficient compensation?

$90M is definitely enough to be more than comfortable the rest of your life. But a $5B payout would have meant they could start a VC firm, invest in the next several generations of startups, partially self-fund something ambitious like a Space-X, start funded non-profits, etc.

Gallipoli. Norway. Gutting the Royal Navy as chancellor in the 1920s. Those were the truly damaging ones.

Of the impractical, well, he was a great believer in the boffins, so he supported SOE and other secret warfare, Bletchley, tanks etc. Yet he also promoted research into death rays, aerial mines, The Great Panjandrum (a huge 20 foot rocket powered catherine wheel intended to clear minefields. Test footage on YT), Project Habakkuk (An aircraft carrier made of pycrete - ice). I could go on all day. :)

Yet to get the good science, he probably had to let the boffins explore the bad and the silly too, so frankly I'm glad he had some of those seriously oddball thanks to hindsight ideas.
I did some checking myself and this looks fake. It's really sad how hard trolls are trying to bring down what they perceive as anti-men movies, shows.
> The first thing you learn is that three genders are indicated in the nominative case using der (masculine) / die (feminine) / das (neuter).

I personally would never teach it that way. To me the four cases are like different faces of, say, a cube (I know a cube has six faces - sorry), where the cube represents the noun. Just like looking at a cube from different perspectives (in the direction of some face) gives you a different view on it, each case gives a different "perspective" of a way that the word relates to some different clause in a sentence.

How the articles and endings "rotate" when the case changes ("as the cube rotates") is something that I developed a really smart scheme for (which can be found in no book on German grammar that I am aware of) that every "mathematical-minded person" immediatelly grasped, told me it perfectly made sense and wished that someone had taught it this way in school. On the other hand, nearly every "humanities-minded person" told me that they cannot understand what I am even talking about and what advantage this perspective is supposed to have.

Typical language teachers are "humanities-minded". :-(

Unluckily, I have far too less time to write this all down in sufficient detail that other people can learn from it; I have far too many other things to do. :-(

> Imagine if in your type system "float" could mean two different types, and you needed more information to figure out which type it is (like, for example, memorizing the type of the object its referring to).

Cloudflare – handling customer data requests from non-U.S. governments
I see this point about remittance fees being made frequently. For payments from Canada to the Philippines, Xoom (bought out by Paypal) charges $2.99 to send $200 (1.5%) and $21.49 to send $1000 (2.2%). That's not anywhere near 20%.

I've worked in this industry in the past. Historically yes, poor people have been overcharged. The way they dealt with it was to develop networks of people who they could pay to carry the money with them on trips back home and set up a pickup. It's crude, but it's a system that persists in India and Pakistan, especially for unskilled migrants in the Middle East who don't have access to local banking services. Not really a target market for bitcoin given the steep learning curve.

For computer-literate migrants who work in developed countries and are OK with using banks, paypal etc, the fees are pretty reasonable.

I appreciate Hanselman and his work a lot, but that answer riled me as well. He seems to not understand that Microsoft's underhanded behavior in the past actually did kill a lot of promising, pioneering companies -- Netscape, Stac (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stac_Electronics) and Digital Research (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Research), to name just a few off the top of my head.

It's one thing to argue that they don't do that sort of thing anymore, but quite another to pretend they never did it in the first place.

Talking about decreasing risk of failure by minimizing attack surface, but at the same time greatly increasing it by maximizing vendor lock-in, essentially betting Amazon will still be around in 100 years, it just does not feel like a very sound strategy.

We use a combination of tools/languages to reap the same benefits of Erlang. Erlang is designed with some very static assumptions in mind. Nodes aren't really supposed to go down, and upgrades happen in place. This is counter to how modern deployments seem to be heading with rolling restarts and super ephemeral services. So using Erlang was really cutting against the grain of where the industry was heading, and Kubernetes is giving us the same end result of high availability and horizontal scaling.
Well if money is speech their marketing departments are chatterboxes.
