I got up at 4am to run scans in grad school because the even the research scanners were booked solid, never mind the clinical ones. Scanners are really expensive: the machine costs a lot, it needs fairly particular conditions (shielded room, cryogens), and trained operators and analysts.

There's maybe a market for fleecing the extremely wealthy into undergoing MRI fishing expeditions, but you'd have to charge a fortune if you're going to buy scanners to do it.
I meant more along the lines of: "what if you had to start over with a new identity with nothing but your knowledge? How far could you get?" I'm guessing a lot of currently rich people wouldn't fare well because they inherited the money and have very little knowledge or skills.
>> So, if an opportunity ever comes up when one of your advisors wants to reach out to me, I'd enjoy talking with them

Never expect anyone to reach out to you. You have to reach out to them over and over if you are interested.

If they see the value in what you are doing, they will reply or reach out to you, but never expect them to do so.

This applies to everyone, mentors, investors, customers.

You have to be proactive all the time.

...or trust the government with the education of your children. As much as the Left sneer at it, a voucher system would give people the liberty to choose the schools they want and not what they are forced to accept.

Meanwhile, governments support doctrines that have turned out to be false, even just basic things like diet. Animal fat and dietary cholesterol for instance, is no longer believed to be the cause of heart disease. And can aid weight loss.

Social doctrines also are arguably causing widespread misery for people trapped by government welfare systems at such a high cost that it depresses local economic activity.

Self-help rather than government help is the conservative way. And a healthy capitalism is part of that.

The problem here is that modern capitalism is quite evidently not healthy. With the historical profit margin on goods of 3% now at a mad 11% due to monopoly power.
small companies who value the type of work that you do also pay very well. Sometimes companies don't value engineering the same way they value sales or accounting. Avoid those if you're an engineer who values your work.

Does it necessarily imply that, though? applications that are snappy and responsive tend to improve users' impression of the app and probably (it is/was true for browsers when I worked in this realm, I have no reason to doubt that it's true for mobile today) improve user engagement.

And here I thought it was going to be about office space :-)

More seriously though, the original open floor plan was the tipi or the igloo. Separate rooms for everything was explicitly a way to show off wealth by having portions of your living space dedicated to non-essential activities.

When people put aside the bragging aspects having multiple rooms, it is more functionally useful to have a larger open space which can be configured dynamically for different activities.

The discussion of the kitchen is fairly reasonable. The kitchen is a functional room and not something you generally use for other things (or at least the part with all the appliances). Most people don't share their garage either as its a functional storage space for their car (or excess possessions depending on how see things :)). A kitchenette (just a few preparation tools and one preparation area) certainly works well sharing the space with other things where people gather and snack, but kitchens with giant Wolf ranges, extended racks of cookware, and more stainless steel than a battleship are a bit out of place. I think those go back to showing off wealth rather than being practical :-)
That's a base salary of $136,750 plus stock and bonus. It's a middle-class salary given the high cost of living in the region[1] and the competition for talent. It's also not at all out of line with what investment banks and white-shoe law firms pay their associates.

Meanwhile, I believe younger talent is underpaid across the board in industry. In many cases junior employees make less than half what their more experienced colleagues do, even though the juniors tend to take on more than their fair share of the workload, and they often are relegated to doing the tasks and projects that the seniors don't want.

I think this is mostly based on ingrained beliefs in dues-paying and hazing culture (tendency for existing members of an in-group to exploit the newest members) rather than any empirical measure showing that juniors are that much less valuable from a productivity standpoint.

This is bad for lenders and delinquent borrowers, but I think the financial system as a whole is much more resilient than it was a decade ago, so we shouldn't have to worry about something like Lehman-brothers dragging down the economy when it collapses.
The workers of course - most small to medium sized law firms are worker co-ops where new members 'buy a seat', effectively adding their share of the working capital
All of these things go into factoring your individual trust level for a brand.

Do you consider gmail.com as a brand to be more trustworthy than 'totallynothackers-email.com' for hosting your email? Of course you do.

In the case of medicine (or anything else that can kill you for that matter), the brand trust has been (mostly) replaced by regulator trust, or store-based trust. EG, CVS is probably going to source from reputable suppliers. You can also fill prescriptions on sketchymeds.com if you choose, especially if you're outside the US.

Brands being sold and bought are an input to the brand-trust equation. It might mean 3rd parties are the more trusted source of information in a given segment than the brand name itself (of course, you could say the same thing about 3rd parties, ad infinitum).

Cool, so your serum zorblaxian levels are 300 ng/L. The finding was incidental, so it’s jot tied to existing symptoms / clinical suspicion. It’s a molecule involved in the inflammatory cascade. We don’t know what diseases it’s associated with or not, nor what the change in probability of having the diseases it could be associated with are, not change in prognosis. But, you have a number which your local lab pegs at 1 standard deviation above the mean for the sample they calibrated their measurement technique on.

So, should we now do a work-up for every disease known to man with an inflammatory component? If you have one, if, every test - with their attendant complications and costs - for every disease you don’t have will have net negative effect on your health. You baseline have no symptoms or clinical suspicion for any of these (again, tautology or incidental finding), so the baseline probability is you actually have no disease at all, and this is a spurious value. So, what’s the advantage of this incidental finding?
It's the same housing stock for the most part as the 1980s. There are teensy tiny bungalos that leak water built well before the 1980s in Los Angeles right now that are asking for nearly a million dollars. In fact, you will have a hard time finding any home in LA that hasn't gone up in price given an arbitrary 10 year period, while wages have been stagnant for the most part. It's a recipe for disaster when shelter becomes an investment opportunity rather than a basic human need.

Could be a signal of a strong disconnect between the people who are making the spending decisions and the people doing the hiring and managing. Departments are given a fixed budget or headcount based on historical precedent rather than current need.

It also could be perverse incentives. The people with their hands on the cash tap have more to gain from stock buybacks than they do by wage increases.

a more accurate measure of housing costs is not "home prices" but "rent prices", and rents have gone up compared with inflation, causing housing to be absolutely more expensive. The generational warfare double whammy here is that the boomers are scooping up an insane unearned amount of value in both real estate appreciation and imputed rents.

Speaking as someone who worked for Google for >6 years, these numbers are 100% accurate. People saying they're not just don't realize how much they're getting underpaid working for a small startup. Big Tech pays very, very well.
It's a very elaborate way of saying "writing correct software is hard". You know what's also hard to do correctly? Designing airplanes. Building skyscrapers... the sheer volume of man-hours spent pouring over every minute detail of them, incorporating lessons learned from every failure that's ever happened in the field, amount to a very very high success rate.

It's not only hard, but the cost/benefit (or the large penalties of catastrophic failure) works out so that it's worth it to go to that amount of effort. The same amount of effort doesn't go into building a backyard garden shed. I'll grant that we've gotten to the point where the cost/benefit analysis demands that we go to that amount of effort in critical situations.

FWIW, I believe this is still true of reddit. Deleting a post doesn't actually delete it. It just no longer shows on the webpage. To really remove it from the database, you need to edit the post/comment, replace the contents with something simple (e.g., the character "a"), save it, then delete it.

The power dynamic is more marketing than technical. Google is willing to push Chrome in their most valuable web real estate:

- Inside the security alerts when you log in with a new device

And probably lots more than I haven't found. Is there any other product that they push so hard?

Well it would have to be a good PR firm. :)

I go back to what I said about the estate tax/death tax thing. At the time, most people were for the estate tax, but once they came up with death tax, most people were against, including a lot of the most vocal proponents of the estate tax. It was literally the same tax with a name change, and most people were fooled.

I think clean coal didn't take off because it was a straight up lie. With nuclear it's a bit different. There really is a new technology and it really is safer than the old stuff everyone is afraid of. It just needs better marketing.
The US has spent double the nato figure the last decade. 2% per UK, Germany, France and Holland would be five carrier groups and ten divisions.

Germany and Holland are really delinquent here, Holland now has no actual navy, Germany would be unable to mount any defence of itself or Poland in a war with Russia.

This will matter in the next few years.

If I get all the benefits of Chrome without weird Google ID stuff (and without having to download and/or build my own Chromium), then I'd use it. Might forget to switch the search engine to Google from Bing. Now they're making ad money.

Regardless, if you want to take the browser market seriously, you need to be cross-platform. Especially if all the hard work of cross-platformness has already been done for you (as is probably the case with Chrome).
The only thing that I can think of for that 2019 Go that would be a problem for this use case is binary size. None of the rest of the usual complaints would be stoppers or even that big a deal, and most of them, I'd pay to have a memory-safe language being used at that level. Init systems are a type of code that we don't have a good word for, but that I tend to end up in a lot, the code that isn't CPU intensive, or disk intensive, or RAM intensive, etc., but is all just logic and correctness rather than any of that. So "but Go is GC'ed!" isn't particularly relevant, for instance, because an init system pretty much ought to settle into a steady state and not be executing at all, on average, so who cares about a handful of microsecond GC pauses that may or may not occur at startup time?

Rust might be better now; my primary concern would be community size and whether I was limiting my contributor base, which Go also has as a concern. In both cases though I'd take it over C/C++ being used on such a critical project at this juncture.

In 2010, though... yeah, choices are a lot worse.

I'm sorry, but WTF does this even mean? That's so incredibly vague that I tend to read it as "essentially, nearly anything could be a TOS violation". For instance, if I log a call with "He was in a bitchy mood and was being an asshole", that is a TOS violation, since calling someone an asshole is widely considered unkind.

Define an alternative. Most systemd alternatives do not concern themselves with post-boot event handling much, for example, which is a rather big part of modern systems. Most alternatives do not use a declarative style for unit definitions, which is a safer model being adopted by many other parts of Linux, including whole distros such as Nix.
Things like Kubernetes have become popular for similar reasons.

Notepad.exe is also an alternative to Word, if the subset of functionality you're looking at is strictly text input.

Let's Go still has most of that, or at least a comparable amount to the prior games set in Kanto (which didn't have most of the more-complicated wilds).

You can't tell stats or nature with much detail until after it's caught, but you never could. Move rarity isn't a thing in wild battles in any generation as far as I know; every individual of a species has the same learnset and known-moves for wilds are determined by level. You can see the species and whether it's shiny from the overworld, without going to a battle. There's never, ever been any "only a particular ball works", though some will be more effective, but that's still in Let's Go. Fleeing is almost completely exclusive to a few legendaries, none of which appear in Let's Go. Not sure about whether Let's Go has time-of-day or swarming, but at least in principle there's no reason why it couldn't.
Those compensation levels are highly dependent on equity appreciation. The base salaries are pretty standard.

Once the stock stops going up, compensation is going to drop by ~50% for a lot of folks.
This is true if you are running the GNU userland. It's not necessarily true with other userlands that are often run on top of Linux. In a discussion touching on systemd, it strikes me as a little surprising that somebody would rely on a quirk of another replaceable component. ;)
> Nothing is without risk

This is the whole point of the discussion here: For many people the risk is dramatically higher or lower than other people. Capitalism suffers if we don't let everyone actually participate in roles other than the menial worker.

Ask HN: How to find what I would like to do if I like everything
Hello!

I started programming professionally three years ago. Since then I've moved from PHP to iOS and from iOS to Android. For now I'm going with Android :).

I am very interested in for example frontend JavaScript at the moment and I have been thinking about switching to that.

I have the idea that I should make a decision on which language/stack/toolset to go with since otherwise I would know a lot of programming languages but not really be a master of one.

How did you find out what you really wanted to do?

Thanks! :)
Even then, the "big spender" level keeps shifting upwards. I remember back in the day it was $5k a month that got you special attention. Now it seems like only $10m+ clients get Google's attention.
I recommend checking out Airmail. It's a huge improvement over Mail.app.
I also have a CR10(s) pretty decent printer if you are willing to work out its quirks.

For water applications PET or PLA would be the best don’t use nylon and ABS is a bitch to print with without enclosures.

I would recommend you getting some protective epoxy for any prints you want to last for anything that is going to be in water just sand the part and put a marine epoxy layer on top of it the additional weight isn’t an issue.
The severe consequences of business as usual emissions with no mitigation will easily be felt within the lifespan of even the oldest Millennials and probably a great deal of Gen X. Gen Z and Millennials' children are looking at inheriting a hellscape of famine, unprecedented extreme weather, and forced migrations to escape unlivable crumbling infrastructure that has never been maintained to standards from decades ago, let alone to a level that will withstand the new conditions.

The number of binaries is irrelevant. Systemd has a lot of binaries but is still called a monolith. Unlike systemd with journald, Busybox allows you to use Vim instead of Busybox vi without any trouble. Busybox might also emphasize the “small and simple” aspect much more than GNU tools, which have a reputation for being needlessly bloated (see all of the flags to cat, for example).

> The worst case with nuclear is much worse than with solar

It isn't. The worst case with solar is that they're manufactured with lead, cadmium and other toxic substances that pollute the environment if they're improperly manufactured or disposed of. If you abandon a solar farm, the panels get damaged by weather and then the heavy metals leech into the ground. The environmental impact of that for a solar farm with power output equal to a nuclear reactor would be as bad or worse than a nuclear meltdown.

On top of that, the real worst case for solar is that the storage technology it needs to replace carbon energy sources never becomes economical, and then without having built nuclear today, we get a level of climate change that causes human extinction.
