I'm Spanish, 28 years old and an Electronic Engineer. I happen to be in a very similar situation, wondering if I should just go for the side project.

I understand you very well because in Spain, most people value a lot the stability of a permanent position. And permanent roles are quite rare these days in Spain.

Whenever I face these kind of decisions, I found that fear to the unknown is what hurts me the most. Therefore I try to make a risk assessment, that usually clears my mind.

Firstly, I think that if your side project is already making some money, it is likely that if you put the hours, it will work out and make more money, probably enough for you to live out of it with your current condition.

Regardless, you have savings and there are lots of opportunities if you want to come back to the standard job market, specially for an experienced leader with a competent level of English. So the risk of failing to come back is quite small.

Now, about your discipline and motivation, those are very tricky and I think they are my greatest fears, but anyhow it'd probably be a good opportunity to learn and master those skills.

By the way, I decided that from August, I'll work full time on my project for a few months and see how that goes. Feel free to contact me www.carlosbaraza.com!
It's not just a nagging doubt, it's adding a "gap" to your resume - I've heard many employers view any sort of exclusive self-employment as basically that and it's something that actively keeps me hesitating.
That experience was my education. Professors, classes, assigned work — all helpful, but at best secondary to the time I spent in the library, deepening and broadening my knowledge of the fields I cared about. I can't imagine how you could gain from the Internet and your classes the kind of knowledge I gained from those books in that library.

This is a tragedy, and the worst of it is that the people it's happening to don't realize what's going on.

That link doesn't include any numbers for farmed salmon. There are three entries in their sample database, all wild (one each raw, baked and canned -- all look healthy enough).

It's also, let's be clear, a front for hawking books and seminars by Monica Reinagel, a "nutritionist" with no particular science background or history of work on the subject.

Frankly that's sort of a garbage link. In the real world there's plenty of science on inflammation in general, but very little conclusive numbers on diet, and AFAIK absolutely no real work showing an effect as specific as "farmed vs. wild fish", especially at the significance you seem to be claiming.

Looking at the second screenshot in this article (the one titled "An early CERN Web browser, circa 1990"), I feel this is what I'd like the modern web to be: crisp, clean, high density information, using colors only where it is relevant.

Modern web pages have become a seizure-inducing cacophony of colors, fonts, animations, ads, videos and intrusive modals ("please sign up", "subscribe to our newsletter", "do you accept cookies?", "please disable ad-block", "people in <your town> are excited about this new weight loss product!") etc.
This is what the semantic web was suppose to fix, but never really took off.

Interesting, I often drop caffeine for a week or so (without any real conceited effort, typically just when I'm sick or on vacation) and any withdrawal seems gone after a few days but then restart it within a week because it's just so damn good, especially when you only sleep 4-6 hours a night which is... every night for me.
Why would you miss them? They are not gone. For some reason, I am still getting a yellow pages book every year (it goes straight to recycle), and there still maps in my car, just in case everyone’s phones die while at the trip.

Are you still getting yellow pages? What do you do with them?
Want less stuff cluttering people’s lives? Divorce them from having to ensure their basic survival and self worth in a zero sum economy. I genuinely think if people didn’t have to sell the largest, most productive parts of their lives to someone else they would focus more on social connections instead of social status. It feels pretty humbling to spend almost all of your day doing something you otherwise would never do, perhaps hate doing, only to be passed by a car worth more money than you’re likely to earn in your entire life summed altogether. But if I spent my day doing things I love doing, and would gladly do them over and over every day, I just might see that same car and not internalize it.
Yeah I was trying to decide if they were trolling or not, gave the benefit of the doubt on this one.

This stood out to me also, things that are unique about the US compared to other countries

1) Relatively low personal and corporate donation limits - a lot more phone calls are needed to raise the same amount of money

2) Low rate of voting - you need an entire get out the vote campaign along with your existing campaign

3) Hatch act - your congressional staff cant work on your campaign, so you need two sets of staff, this combined with 2 year election cycle is probably what makes "campaign ronin" a viable career path and a also more expensive

4) Presidential system - a bit counterintuitive but i think in a parliamentary system house races are less important as people are more voting for the party
I don’t want to come off as all holier-than-thou, and probably will, but here goes.

My girlfriend moved in with me about a year ago and, in the process, we cleaned out a lot of ‘stuff’. Personal stuff, kitchen stuff, knick-knack stuff, furniture stuff, memento stuff, clothes stuff ... just all the stuff that you accumulate as you move through life. (We’re both ~40.)

Since then, we’ve been very careful not to accumulate more stuff. I’m not exaggerating when I say that we deliberate over a new kitchen utensil. We don’t buy anything unnecessary.

It’s amazing. Our home is amazing. We live in a mid-sized apartment but it feels spacious because it’s not full of stuff. Life is simpler. There’s less to clean. What there is to clean is easier because—you guessed it—it’s not covered in stuff.

Buy less stuff. Throw most of your stuff away. You almost certainly don’t need it.
Trout and Salmon aren't proper clades. What you call the fish depends on where it lives, not what it's related to. In fact Rainbow Trout and Steelhead Salmon aren't merely closely related, they are literally the same species and will interbreed. Lake dwelling trout are the descendents of ocean-going ancestors that got stuck by dams and floods.

>Also: why wouldn't grpc work well with load balancers? It's based on HTTP/2

You answered your own question.

There is always some bit of older infrastructure, like a caching proxy or “enterprise” load balancer that doesn’t quite understand http/2 yet - it is the same reason so much Internet traffic is still on ipv4 when ipv6 exists - the lowest common denominator end up winning for some subsection of traffic.
It also wouldn't be the first time a shipping/logistics error caused a package to be misrouted.

The obvious and most probable answer is usually the right answer unless you have evidence otherwise.

Oh, good, that was my intution as well.
antirez put a lot of work in around Redis 3.0 (iirc) to make the persistence reliable and strong. As long as your server is configured and used correctly (obviously a large caveat, but you can only hold someone's hand so much), I don't think there is any reason to doubt Redis's persistence anymore.

It's important to make this distinction because there are commonly-used systems that offer a best-effort style persistence that usually works fine, but explicitly warn developers not to trust it, and developers rarely understand that.

We badly need to get better at distinguishing between true, production-level data integrity and "probably fine".
This is one of the fascinating things (in my mind) in economics. Not everyone can contribute directly to the production of our most basic needs; those who don't must convince the productive members that they have a good worth spending money on. It might actually be worthless, but what else will those productive people do with their excess cash? Once they have met their basic needs, boredom sets in. So they buy garbage to pass the time.

That's a simplification, sure, but there's truth to it. I think the populace is comfortable with this model because they prefer to have people do pointless work for their money rather than just get a handout.

Users can wager Relevant Coins (not reputation) on the quality of posts. This is done via a 'bonding curve market maker' (https://blog.relevant.community/how-to-make-bonding-curves-f...). The market maker mints 'shares' in exchange for staking Relevant Coins. The more shares are outstanding the more expensive they are, thereby rewarding early participants.

Not that the actual ranking of the post is determined via the pagerank algorithm which is independent of the coins and betting.

If the post has a higher ranking than average it gets a portion of the newly minted tokens — kind of like block rewards. These rewards get distributed to all the users that staked on the post proportional to the amount of shares they own. Everyone also gets their original tokens back. So in reality this it's prediction market 'light'. All users pay a 'tax' on their token balance via the inflation rate and but get a chance to win a portion of the pot by participating in curation.

The betting mechanism is similar to and inspired by Steemit. Except they don't use reputation ranking to resolve the market. Steemit posts are ranked by how many tokens were staked on them, so a whale can basically force the market and get all the rewards — self-fulfilling prophecy. In our case its is more akin to an actual prediction market where the prediction is separate from outcome. At scale the prediction market can actually be a useful way to surface recommendations.
Yeah, I eye rolled at that quote. My dad worked in lower Manhattan when I was growing up. There were at least three different job-lot, odd-lot chains that he’d get us weird or overstock items from at lunchtime.

The reason why that stuff so abundant in China is because that’s where it’s made. In 1970s/80s, when my dad was picking up deals at lunch, New York was a declining industrial powerhouse. Toys and clothes and 10000 other things were made in NYC. My little league uniform was made 20 blocks away in Astoria. (My mom kept it, and my son is wearing the pants 30 years later!) Ball caps were made in Buffalo, etc.

Now, we export cash, and that’s what you find collecting in US cities.

I'm aware - my point was exactly that - Atlantic salmon and brown trout are in the same genus, whereas pacific salmon and rainbow trout are in a different genus. Certain combinations of varieties of trout and salmon are more closely related to each other than other varieties of trout are to other varieties of trout.

If we think Facebook has "power" over elections, let's just give up on democracy, honestly. That's abdicating any responsibility voters have for their own votes.
I believe -- if I remember the workshop I attended correctly -- that there's a fair amount of economics literature on the types of things that people steal in burglaries and the rates over time, and yes, burglary rates for things like stereos and TVs have plummeted. The top things stolen now are cash, jewelry, and guns. The economists see connections to consumer prices in general: ordinary electronic crap is so cheap that there's not much point in setting up a black market for stolen electronics. Guns, jewelry, and cash still have plenty of value for burglars, though.
I was a classical violist, and we don't have a lot of repertoire, so we often rob minor works from other instruments to enrich our stockpiles. I'm amazed at how little of that material is any good. The taste of generations of musicians and audiences has done an amazing job of gathering the wheat and releasing the chaff; there's not much among the productions of minor composers that can stand with Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and the like. Every time I find a new work by Draeseke, Zelter, Sirmen, Juon, or some other mediocrity, I hope this will finally be the one jewel — but it never is.
What kind of sloppy 2 bit intelligence operation informs the customer their packages are being redirected to the US? The article mentioned the packages were in the process of being marked "return to sender"

To me, this is clearly a case of not being able to read the shipping label, damage to packaging, or similar. It would make plenty of sense that manual "human" decisions on what to do with undeliverable packages is handled by FedEx employees in the US. I have had mail returned before and it always ends up going to a random place, likely to be hand sorted, and taking forever to make its way back.

This is likely a non-story trying to throw shade on US companies to distract from negative press on Hauwei. Besides, the mail was shipped using a US based carrier, probably airmail. A plane can make it across the world in 24 hours, so it might make sense to route certain destinations through the US regardless for logistical reasons. If I could ship something to Europe using China Post I would not be fazed if my package ends up in China at some point.

If you don't want something to end up in the US don't ship it using a US based mail carrier that is a private company allowed to send your package in any manner it desires. Hauwei complaining to the Chinese government about how their packages are being routed through the US on the way to their destination by a US based mail carrier, what a joke
>I have never gotten around to reading the book

Is a good book, I'd recommend it. It nails a particular argument to a wall in a way that lets you perhaps take on a wider perspective. And I don't think you have to completely agree with Said for the effort to be worthwhile. Is fine to critique it. But not without reading it through.
I think you might be confusing the word asceticism with aestheticism.
True! I should have made it more clear my examples weren't providing interactivity, I guess you're saying. OK.
We went through a similar process after moving country (not worth the shipping costs so we simply sold 99% of our stuff) and felt the same.

A year later we now have just as much stuff as we used to, maybe even more. No matter how hard you try, you will always end up accumulating new things, whether it's through gifts or because you need something in particular for a specific occasion (specialty screwdrivers for example).

I think it's healthy to go through all (and I mean all) of your stuff at least once every two years and sell anything you have not used in a year or more.
The difference is that Huawei has a board of CCP members that sits within Huawei and has say over their actions. While FedEx is an independent company that operates within the US, and has access to US courts to defend themselves. It's 1st party vs 3rd party, when it comes to government influence.

Huawei is assumed to be working at behalf of the CCP because the CCP has management control over the company. It's like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Do you doubt that the US government has control over them? They are "independent" government sponsored companies with oversight by the US government... just like Huawei.

Everyone knows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac implement policies put in place by the US government. That's their job. But when it comes to Huawei, we're all suppose to ignore the CCP control?

China likes to have state-run companies (far more than the US does). The consequence is that no one trusts you. If they don't like it, and want to build trust with their customers, then they can liberalize their markets (or at least let Huawei be a fully independent company).
I eat the farmed atlantic salmon from Whole Foods several times a week. It tastes way better than the wild salmon and is half the price.

Whole Foods claims it is responsibly and sustainably farmed. They are obviously biased, so I can't be certain. But the farmed salmon definitely wins on price and flavor.

3-5% is the average profit margin for a restaurant. Also, the profit for the franchise owner is not the same as the total profit. McDonalds as a corporation is charging the franchisee licensing fees (and often rent as well), which should also be considered part of the profit.

I don’t see what's unreasonable about a legislature compelling the appearance of a CEO that operates in their country.

If it’s logistically impossible for a large multinational operating in many countries to comply, then maybe its unreasonable for a single company to operate in so many countries.

There’s such a weird sense of entitlement here, that companies should be able to do what they want and countries need to accommodate them. There’s nothing that says it must be easy or even possible to operate a company in every country in the world simultaneously.

I see no need to draw any lines. If you don’t want to be subject to a particular country’s rules, there is a really easy solution: don’t operate there.
