Buying a house and settling in the Silicon Valley/SF/etc... does not make any financial sense whatsoever. They are all pretty much overpriced, crappy and old. Even the quality of the new "luxury condos" is crap. Seriously, take a closer look at the quality of the windows, walls, doors, floor, everything...it is all paper thin cheap stuff way overpriced. Not to consider taxes, earthquake and fire insurance.

Cost of life, school, pre-school, daycare etc, they are all crazy expensive. Public transportation is nearly non-existent. Traffic is insane. People who live in SF wake up at 5.30am/6.00am to catch the bus and commute to the Valley oO. They spend at least 2hours if not more a day in traffic.

The only thing that imo makes sense is to move there, save as much money as possible. Maximize your 401k and pension plan contributions. Don't work in scrappy startups for a low paycheck and stock options (most startups are doomed to fail or will never go IPO) but prefer instead bigger companies or close to IPO ones that have a good 401k matching plan, bonuses, incentives, and higher base salary.

Get a new job every 2/3 years, so that you can increase your salary quickly + signing bonuses.

Do this for ~10years and then move to a normal place where you could buy a super nice house in cash and then work remotely.

So if you cripple ripgrep, to act like grep, it is not much faster. This is kind of obvious. Ripgrep is faster because it makes assumptions, that will hold true for a large part of its users.

This is like saying "if I remove wings from a plane, then it won't go much faster than my car. So a plane is not technically faster than a car"

Of course, users should know the difference between grep and ripgrep (especially with tweaks like .gitignore, which could be confusing if you don't know).

You can simply reduce you complaint from ‘hate speech’ and ‘violent speech’ to ‘speech’ to reveal the nuanced perspective of grey thinkers.

Dismissing the societal effect of censorship by dominant public mediums because their profit structure is private is - regardless of your position on said censorship - a very incurious and unserious to adopt.

The contrived examples to support your position are unlikely to resonate with anyone who spends the briefest moment in consideration of all the game theoretic outcomes that are possible with your attitude.

I presume in your world it is okay for telecommunication companies to deny cell phone access to individuals based on arbitrary, internal and opaque reasons because they’re privately held.

Attempting to deny the reality of societal responsibilities when a service hits societal scale is just silly.

I skimmed the document and missed that part. That's disappointing. Why bother making the distinction? What's different about salaried employees that they should be subject to non-competes but hourly workers shouldn't? I understand that lower paying jobs need protection, but I have never heard of a minimum wage worker at a fast food restaurant having to sign a non-compete. This law seems to only have an impact on skilled hourly workers who likely aren't in a different situation than salaried workers.

Somebody needs to tell that to Austin, Texas, they don't seem to have gotten the message. Denver/Boulder too, though housing there is getting pretty high as well.
Clarification: this just happened to me as well, I’ve been using revolut as my main source of paying for things. I transfer money through a uk bank and also have provided them with payslips and tax documents.
Everything was fine up to 1 day ago that they blocked a bank transfer I tried to make which I’ve been making for the past year or so and which is around £36 for a debt of mine to a bank.

Since then no explanation, just that they are looking into it and they haven’t explained to me what the issue is and if they need any documents of me.

I think everyone needs to know of what can happen to them. I am personally extremely confident that am going to resolve my issue since I have all the paperwork and everything that is needed to show that the money comes from honest work and every single penny of tax have been paid. Thing is after this, I’ll be looking at alternatives as I can’t have this happen to me again. Personally I feel like chat messages doesn’t seem to work really well for those kind of issues and the fact that you can’t phone anyone about it apart from financial bodies in each country to report the incident, or moan on Twitter is not a good solution.
The point is to stimulate rage by showing that some people make more money with less effort than others.

D community needs more "quality" engineers and language purists, no doubt. It is not just the lack of money or the lack of man power. It is the lack of high quality man power.

Andrei has pretty much summarized the current situation. It's an unfortunate to be in that situation. I offer him a hug if I could. I still remember the announcement he made 3 years ago when leaving Facebook to work full time on the D language without any remuneration [1].

That said, looking at the conversation in the context, it looks like lots of decisions were made without deeply understanding the impact it will have in the long run.

The types in Java/C# etc. are what I'd term as object-oriented type systems. They conflate the notion of class and type; while in Typed Functional languages, they just type data, and also gives you Sum Types and Exhaustive Pattern Matching.

That's the problem with all media, not just social media. Pretty much every diet fad and health recommendation you get from traditional media has been debunked.

The only difference is that traditional media doesn't allow for counter arguments. At least on social media, people can counter quackery. In traditional media, their quackery can't be disputed until they decide it is in their financial interest.

The reason it isn't actually important to have a specific algorithmic implementation is that - like other exotic multiplication algorithms with better big-O complexity than the usual ones - the constant factors are much, much bigger, to the point where they would only become noticeably faster for absurdly huge integers. The theoretical aspect of this is the interesting part.
No you're not stuck with a 2:1 dogfight.

One or both adversaries can escape.. it can happen in seconds with two supersonic aircraft.

It's not like a video game where they exist in a modeled world where no one else is around and they both have unlimited fuel and radar works perfectly, etc..

If the two fighters "merge" at 600kts each and keep going they'll be 20 miles apart in 1 minute.

If one of them decides to light the afterburners and accelerates to 1000kts and go supersonic to escape the other one has to turn around and try to accelerate to catch up.

Not easy. The harder the chaser turns around the more speed they'll bleed off, and the more time it will take to reaccelerate. If they turn a wider circle they'll be further away and have more distance to make up.

Meanwhile the plane that has decided to "exit" might have flown into the cover of friend AAA/SAM sites or friendly fighters.

If you start talking about swarms of supersonic drones instead of an enemy fighter then suddenly the drones sound awfully expensive.
> 2) you could build a couple highly-survivable emergency bunker-habitats and pay people to live in them (in shifts, say, so there are always enough inside to ensure survival but they're not stuck in there full time) for, surely, less money than Martian colony establishment & maintenance would cost.

We could call these bunker-habitats "vaults", maybe.
Then proceed to raise some capital for our startup and eventually call it "Vault-Tec"[0].

There is actually real serious money for it - India has been wanting to buy a fleet of those planes for years and is pretty frustrated with the delay. Russia still is just not capable of producing it. Too complex tech.

Specifically the 3 major components has to be of the 5th generation - body, engine and radar. The SU-57 body is pretty much there. The radar isn't there yet where it was promised and is required to be (ie. distance, number of tracked items, etc.). The worst situation is with the engine. Russia still doesn't have 5th gen "stealth" engine. What is being flown currently is "4.5" gen - a well improved 4th. You can see it clearly here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sukhoi_T-50_Maksimov.jpg
When you have a glut of capital it may not be the case that people are able to afford housing, it maybe the case that the wealthy have bought up a ton of investments; maybe not even local wealthy but foreigners. The best example of this is China or Vancouver where there is a glut of housing that no one can afford so it sits around empty... the people who paid for it don't have a problem with this.
Cool! Thanks a lot! This is it! However there still is a problem. In the past I used to just play entire directories (switched to using playlists then) but after an update (about half a year ago or earlier) and ever since it stopped playing some big directories (with many hundreds of files in them). Before that it was just enqueuing the files, then sort of hanging for some dozens seconds and working. Now the name of the directory just appears in the playing queue and nothing happens, it doesn't get expanded into the files list. But who knows, perhaps I just have to wait longer...

It would only be a matter of time before they started showing ads to paying users too. Pay for a magazine subscription? Magazine is filled with ads anyway. Pay for a cable tv subscription? Filled with ads anyway. Pay for HBO? Get shameless product placement (they claim they don't take money for it, but that doesn't change the substance of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuIJVLrIAZQ) Pay for netflix? More product placement. Pay to see a movie? Ads before the movie, product placement throughout. Pay for Hulu? More like paying for ads.
But it's a balance, isn't it? Since the company is selling most of the shares (if not all), then the higher the opening price the more money the company to invest in growth and R&D.

You take that money and build a new product, improve an old one, shutter a competitor via buyout, or ramp up production in another factory (so you have more capacity and can't get gouged as badly by your one manufacturer).

If instead you screw them over, doesn't that kill P/E and hence greatly lower the predicted future gains?
At 8:15 in the video, he mentions a solar cell used while prototyping is under a "dark blue plastic box" to keep the thing from spinning out of control.

If one filesystem gets full, you still can do some work on the others. You can also more easily umount a filesystem to fsck without the need of booting a live media. You can mount filesystems with different flags, like readonly on /boot to prevent accidents.

Modern smartphones do this, on Android for example you are able to find a filesystem for system binaries generally mounted readonly, a filesystem for the base OS and system apps, another filesystem for user installed apps. If a rogue app fills the entire filesystem it's resided, the system apps can still function.

I've got a couple Tadpoles, including a PA-RISC PrecisionBook, but actually I like the Sun Ultra-3 better. The one I have is a rebadged Tadpole Viper in beautiful purple. The 1.2GHz CPU gets stinking hot unless you throttle it and the battery life is about LOL minutes, but it can still run relatively recent Firefoxes and Solaris is still useful.
I can't believe I have to say this, but it's different because political beliefs, whether they inspire one to shoot a bunch of people or just to vote for the "burn it all down" party can have a damaging influence over society as a whole. I.e. it's not just about the personal responsibility to oneself as much as the risk of being inspired to terrorism.

> ... but it's not at all clear how I'd be able to opt out of having them track me, share my history with all their favourite partners, etc.

Actually, Slate seems quite accessible via Tor. So that's an option. But I don't use HN via Tor, so switching to a Whonix VM just to read stuff, with no shared clipboard, would be painful. And as well, I don't like creating correlations, so I wouldn't want to use a Whonix VM that I used for actual work.

> There's no way simply reading an article creates a "legitimate need" for all that.

I totally agree.
If the client is posting there because they're cheap and are going to nickel and dime and second-guess every decision then they may not be worthwhile (possibly unless you factor in billing for your time discussing every. little. thing. with them).

If they're posting there because they don't know where to hire someone to do contract work for them then you may well be able to work with them - particularly if you're personable and willing to spend some time handholding and making them comfortable. For that matter, if they've done something on one of those places and been burned by poor quality, poor understanding, language issues, whatever then it may make them more likely to work with you if you don't have the same problems.

It's a question of making sure there are realistic expectations on both sides. If a client is going to need concierge service beyond the raw design and coding and you're able to provide (and get paid for) that then you may be in a good position.

The officers were acting under the impression the man they saw was an unhinged person who just shot their own father. In this case if you saw them reaching for what could possibly be a firearm many people would likely react in a similar manner. Our survival instincts are incredibly strong.
So it feels like the way YouTube's algorithms work re suggested videos is heavily related to "what other videos did the people who watched this video watch?". Now imagine you have a video that expresses some conspiracy theory. That video is watched by a bunch of people who are into conspiracy theories. Then you come along, and YouTube now recommends you videos that the people who watched the same video as you just watched. And bam you get sucked toward those others who were interested in that video.

Now this does work in the other direction, where someone with more normal viewing habits watching a video will steer the conspiracy theorists toward the types of videos they watch, but the size of the pools means it's the polarizing direction that would have a greater effect.
The claim that we've defended free speech for over 250 years is just wrong, unless you strictly look at white landowners.

In reality, the people that oft benefitted from free speech were the slave owners and the white supremacists while others were censored, beaten, killed and so forth. This isn't to advocate for full governmental control over speech, but rather to show the American ideal of free speech has never existed or been equally applied.

It sounds like a bad idea - but scalpels and metal tools are not thrown away either - they're sterilized. Something like a plastic tube may have 2 or 3 uses in it instead of just 1 - as long as the sterilization is within acceptable tolerances - why not? A reusable rocket too was unthinkable until a private company did it. One shouldn't discard experimental evidence just because it conflicts with one's belief systems.
