To me Amazon feels far more predatory than the other tech giants. I read the arguments being made on HN about this all being fair game but it’s really not ok, none of it is.

1. Amazon takes from open source just as much if not more than any of the other tech giants, in fact the vast majority of managed services on AWS are open source projects with DevOps from amazon.. which by itself is fine but when you consider how much they give back? Fuck all. They haven’t contributed any major framework, system, project, or library that I use. I use things from Google every single day, from Kubernetes to Flutter, to Tensorflow the list goes on and on. I use things from Microsoft every single day in my development from Visual Studio Code, to .net core. I use things like react from Facebook every day. Maybe I’m living in a bubble but Man, this feels like theft these guys take everything to make Bezos richer and give us shit.

2. Although not directly related to Open Source, it reinforces the predatory tactics, Take a look at what they do to Brands on their market place. Any well selling product becomes an Amazon basics, generic, of which they make lots of money and shut you out using Sales data and other predatory practices.

3. You have a streaming service on AWS, an e-commerce shop, any other number of SaaS services? No problem as soon as it’s proven Amazon will launch its own product to compete with you. Everyone told Netflix it was a terrible idea to enrich Amazon but they did it anyway now they have original shows on Amazon video to contend with and I bet you they wish they didn’t.

The list just goes on and on and on. Not saying the other tech giants are angels but man these guys are egregious in the way they take. I don’t blame these companies for crying foul none of this behavior is Moral, it might be legal for now but even that time is coming.

Anyway I know I’m coming off as harsh and you don’t have to agree with me but this is just my two cents. I believe Amazon is the most predatory, largest, capitalist company in America today.
Given that the old keyboard worked fine, and the only reason we have a new one is to shave a few millimeters, then yes I believe the designers are most directly responsible. Plus ID would tell you their role is much more than "aesthetics."
If you also owned a home in a low-cost area of the country you could probably still live quite comfortably.
And if the market crashes when you are retired? What are you supposed to do?

I don’t think it’s sound advice to keep your retirement in stocks when you’re actually in retirement...

Perhaps but the JASON Group is the most famous group of top secret scientists. Half of their studies are classified but here's some that aren't-

My nostalgic Matrox story -- I was maybe 12 when I got a Matrox card that I needed support for. I called the support number and waited on hold for about 45 minutes, then talked to the rep and got my problem solved!

Of course this was 1989, when the phone company charged you for long distance, and really charged you for calls to other countries. I had no idea that you could call another country without dialing a bunch of numbers, so I just assumed it would fall under our domestic long distance plan.

I could have bought another video card for the price of that phone call!

Savings rate is basically the only number that matters in determining how long until you can comfortably retire. A 10% savings rate puts you on track to retire in ~50 years, starting from zero and given some conservative assumptions.
You can set some email client filter rules that trigger notification for things you should probably see promptly, and have no notification/indicator by default. (Or variations on that, like defaulting to notification but suppressing it for known non-urgent things, and moving lists to folders.)

An alternative thing I've done, when billing time for a client, is to make a client-specific email account, and only have a email client running for that account.

Having aggressive spam filter also helps. (Mine, every sender that's not in my addressbook or from particular domains goes into a junk folder without notification, which I check at least once a day, but I'm almost never interrupted by spam.)
Could also do that but when you have Satoshi amounts the problem becomes getting rid of it so I'm not sure buying more will help beyond the obfuscation advantages of holding it in a different wallet.
Sure. Which is, as the parent comment pointed out, rarely one of the things people trumpeting "blockchain" need in the problem domain they're proposing to deploy it.

I don't need global PoW or PoS consensus for my health records.

I need something my health providers and I can agree is authoritative and as accurate as the data entry makes possible. The parent comment's "immutable, distributed, cryptographically-verified database". Something like a shared git repo. Not like a crypto currency.
if that money is coming from selling off some equities, it would likely be long term capital gains, which... I believe the first $x000 are taxed at 0%.

Your point about $20k not being much is true, but I also would presume that someone who's saved that much probably would have some social security coming in, at least doubling that.
We don’t need to be brutal to livestock now.
The last paragraph rings true to me. I've had designers leave my company because I consistently picked other designs over their's. IMO it comes down to a builder versus maintainer mindset.
Pretty sure it was. A demented genius needed a way to sell drugs on the dark web. He was annoued with merchant accounts shutting him down. He needed a better way to funnel drug money to his pockets. Satoshi bounced the second Gavin Andresen mentioned the word CIA.

The Coming Tech Apocalypse
$800k does seem a little low, but a lot of that depends on your living situation. Even with $800k you should be able to live off of way more than $20k/year. You can get $20k/year just by buying treasury bonds and collecting interest, maybe even double that potential income if you think that social security will still exist in its current form when you're retire.

More importantly, once you're in your 80s it's probably safe to start whittling away at that principle.
You’ve failed to keep it anonymous yourself.
If the purpose of anonymity is to retain purity of intention, you’re not doing yourself favors by admitting it here, in a public forum of your peers.

I think we will find that applying human tests for sense of self can't be applied to other animals.

Our primary test is visually based such as a mirror/marker test which doesn't work for animals that have relatively poor eyesight (dogs) or avoid eye contact (gorillas) or just don't fit our concepts of how self awareness should manifest.
Not knocking on this author at all... It's just that nowadays if I see a title in the vein of "7 Tips to Train Deep Neural Nets for Complete Beginners On Rails With Keras and TensorFlow" I click on it more out of a sense of obligation than anything but I don't go in with very high expectations. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this article was substantive and high quality.
<sigh/>I'll stipulate your point if you agree that Atheism and Trump hatred is your religion. Because hey, you need just enough faith to believe what you believe as I need to believe what I believe.
That also seems low to me. in the u.s. you can't count on social security, you're going to be paying for health insurance, and the government safety net in general in non-existant.

I'm personally targeting $2 million to retire comfortably by 50, and I think that's only slightly pessimistic.

For context, I'm 35 and in good health, but I plan on having to pay several thousand a month in health care and housing, and need to be able to endure market swongs.

Retiring now is certainly possible but strikes me as foolish.
Is it just me or the article ends quite abruptly? I was expecting a story, not an intro and a few pictures.
I really want to underline this. This is the real power of fiat currency, the ability of a government to tax people in it's region.

And tax means the ability to force people to give the governmental organization a portion of their productive economic activity.
That's interesting, and refreshing honesty :) thanks

If you don't mind me being more nosy, are the long-term opportunities in this exact line of business? (i.e. do you think that one day medical records will be routinely stored on a blockchain?) or is it more than developing skills and capability with both blockchain and health tech will be valuable in the future?
And furiously.

"Feel Different"
...the same way that Bitcoin could, in theory, be backed by hired goons (or drones) that come to your house with guns and take you away. It wouldn't surprise me if that's how people in the underground Bitcoin economy (drugs, gambling, sex trafficking, arms dealing) actually operate, though I try to stay away from those peoples so I wouldn't actually know. There is certainly a difference in degree - the U.S. military is orders of magnitude more powerful than whatever goons you can hire with Bitcoin - but not a difference in kind.

How is the a helpful or enlightening statement? You're just spreading FUD.
When you say “this field”, do you mean design or tech more generally?
That's smart.

The seller still needs to make sure the buyer can't get a transaction transferring the coins back into a wallet under their control confirmed before the seller can move them out.

I have never heard of being able to do a personal 401k despite looking for something like this a lot with my previous job. Is it a proper 401k — are there tax advantages benefits to it? Do I have to be self employed?

Do those Matrox GPUs support IOMMU/VFIO passthrough to Windows or Linux VMs?
My uninformed guess is the designers insisted on thinness that engineering was unable to achieve without compromising other goals (reliability, feel, battery life). Aesthetics don't exist in a vacuum, and as a not-so-proud owner of this model I'd say Apple made the wrong choice.
Ah yes. If you set the serving size low enough, you can sell trans fat while claiming it has 0g of trans fat.

Somebody should do this. Make little packets like the ones for butter.
That's where I am on this. Before nesting I had to take great care to avoid conflicts. I guess this is what BEM set out to solve, but it seems to have limitations.
I never thought it made sense that people should expect to do nothing for 30+ years of their life.

For most the anxiety of boxing yourself into that belief that after a certain day of your life that you can’t earn another dime makes no sense. If you look at the current stats there’s a huge % of people nearing “retirement age” who have nothing saved.

Personally I have had a surprising number of Uber drivers who are retired and bored and drive to socialize with others. Although they may be lucky to have saved enough I don’t necessarily think it would be “depressing” for someone who was otherwise of retired age to take on a job that they felt they were capable of doing instead of sitting at home doing nothing all day

I've noticed quite a few very unproductive workers, send emails and pretend they are working at 11pm kind of hours. Worker output is the only thing that matters. The problem is in our field how do we measure this?
I addressed that:

The fact that someone uses their open source product is an endorsement to the open source movement, not of the company ... The fact that it is open source means that the company doesn't own the product nor can it control you. And the fact that it is open source means that the product is being made by contributions from the general public too, and not just the company.

Pay off your debt first!
It has a guaranteed return on "investment".

The following scheme has worked well for me.

First take any employer matched retirement scheme (401(k) / IRA, etc.) and keep some money to build up a rainy day fund if you don't have one (a few weeks income is a good starting point) as theres no point defaulting on a loan because you made extra payments the week or month before.

But there is no point saving or investing money that could be going towards paying down a 22% credit card debt or 16% car loan, or even a 5% House loan. The only exceptions would be low interest loans (i.e. <1-2%) with a fixed payoff date.

On Mortgages, there are many schemes but I'd advise, 40% 1 year fixed, 40% 2 year fixed, 20% revolving credit, dump any rainy day funds, and any other spare funds, on the revolving loan == interest you don't pay. Keep the fixed term loans expiring every other year so any interest rate spikes only hit half your capital.

China's social credit score is centralized and not anonymous. So, there's not really much to compare.

An decentralized credit score would have you scored by your peers. An anonymized one would only be evaluable when you chose to use it.

Could it present some heretofore unimagined dystopian situation? Sure, but the question was whether there was an application, not whether it was a good idea to build it :)

Moreover, reputation systems aren't inherently dystopian (or all encompassing like a social credit score, ftm), or we wouldn't have the long standing real-world ones.
10% of a 60k or even 100k annual salary is a different beast from 10% from a 500k. West coast FAANG salaries are far and away not the norm in the tech sector, and the average worker has none of that social influence with 50% of their salary, let alone 10%.

Frankly they’ll benefit everyone more by investing it in their own financial security and education.

Over the long term currency prices do track with currency use, where "use" is investment in securities denominated in the currency + a country's net exports. As the country's export economy grow, a foreigner can buy more things with the country's currency. The free-market value of the currency should rise. If it does not rise, then goods from that country will be underpriced relative to their true value, which means they will be overly competitive in the market, which causes a flood of cash into the country (a current-account surplus). Eventually the market rebalances as the currency becomes un-pegged and starts to float freely.

This is what has happened with the U.S. and China over the last 3 decades. As Chinese goods became more competitive on the global market, American export dollars started to flow into China. China refused to remove the USD/RMB peg, which created a long-term current account deficit in the US and made American goods & labor non-competitive with China. When they finally did remove the peg (after significant political pressure from the US), the value of the RMB rose significantly: it was 1:8 a decade ago, it's now 1:6.73.

Over the short term there are a lot of conflating factors - pegs, speculation, interest rates, wars, creditworthiness, etc. But over the long term, the "backing" for any currency is what you can buy with it.

For this kind of calculation to work, you have to determine if your physical appearance impacts your income. For the vast majority of professionals, the answer to this will be yes. Like it or not, that's the world we live in.

It's easy to go overboard, but it's not that expensive to get regular decent haircuts, wear nice shits, etc. On a developer's salary it's basically noise, and the ROI over a lifetime will almost certainly be positive.

It's important to do a cost/benefit analysis, not just a cost analysis. :)

You can have a job and still be free. The two are not mutually exclusive. OP's point is that you shouldn't slave away the prime years of your life saving for the dream of FIRE on some beach, island, or etc.

I think the idea that you'll be so much happier once you're on that beach than you are now is equally as insane as conspicuous consumption.

The situation with bad cryptocurrency exchanges failing does not remind me of that at all. It is far superior since only the people who leave their money in the bad exchanges get punished.
