Some people have pointed out that some numbers are probably off, they may be right. I don't have the exact numbers in my head as the last time I used the car was a few weeks ago actually as my wife usually drives it more than me.

The petrol cost is averaged and when I say AUD$60 every 2 months, it really depends on the trips we make and if we go see my in-laws.

I guess what's important is the trend, the first year we owned the car, we drove everywhere because we were living in the outer suburbs but then we moved closer to the city. So we barely touch the car these days.

We use it even less in winter as its too cold to go to the beach, so I can safely say that for the next 3 months we are probably going to be using the car once a week to go buy groceries at the supermarket that is located about 5km from where we live. So we will average 10km per week for the next 12 to 15 weeks. That would translate in maybe a full tank of gas if that.

All in all, if I average the cost of petrol over the last 3 years, it's probably close to the numbers I gave, plus or minus a few hundred dollars.

As for the insurance, we both have a clean driving record(no tickets ever), we don't drive a lot and we live in a very safe suburb and keep the car in a closed/locked garage overnight. We also have the lowest tier in terms of insurance and we wouldn't get much back if we were to total the car.

Finally, as for the current value of the car, I just had a quick look on google and those were the first numbers I could find. I presume that if we were to sell it we probably would get less maybe $AUD 3.5k.
> How many non-tech people do you know who can mirror a PC or laptop to their TV?

Very few, but they can get a portable drive via sneaker net, plug it into their TV (basically any TV made in the last decade) and have enough content to keep them going for months. Some of the slightly more advanced ones might be able to use a PC to copy shows from one drive to another for friends. Torrent streamers are a minority of pirates.
Pretty much... bitcoin/gold are not particularly productive assets either (verses investing in businesses) so I don't see how that helps the economy recover.
I wish someone would test if it's even water resistant for a period of time in a deep pool. I bet it is. I wish he would at least done the pool test.

If it's waterproof, it's a killer hack for its simplicity and overall cost.
It doesn't. As a freelancer if I type "rust" on upwork right now I get only 26 jobs. If I type "golang" it yelds 104 jobs. But if I type "php" I get 7966 jobs; "java" = 2547 jobs; C# = 1174 jobs. Even "Assembler" gives 292 results, more then double of both rust + golang combined. For me Rust / Golang / Swift are those Instagram "influencers" that the press talk a lot about it but have little power in the harsh reality of the world.
Since I am in a phase of my life where I am perpetually angry when I read the exchange in my head the response becomes rude of snarky, and of course I am at the best of times not apt to adopt a breezy happy tone that makes disagreements sound wonderful.

I think many engineers don't do the happy tone. Maybe that's the problem.
A Man Named Rufus Rochell
Nice to see folks rethinking files, as they're a scourge on the planet and an antiquated anti-pattern that has been holding back the industry pretty much since its inception. I don't know how anyone could take a look at /etc for example, and consider it anything but archaic. The adduser command is some 1130 lines long, and all it does is do CRUD on files, to name just one example. Then there are countless config files that just have to be edited by hand and happily accept syntax errors and logical errors. No modern system would tolerate this.

The root of the problem with files is that they lack an information model, beyond just a sequence of bytes. They are unopinionated to a fault. All files have structure. Even if that structure is a "non-structure" like "all these files are just a random sequence of meaningless bytes", then that is their structure. But this information isn't present in the system, nor can it be enforced or constrained when that is desirable.

To me, the obvious alternative is the database, aka "everything is a row". We have used the database (relational or otherwise, but mostly relation) to successfully model many many domains, and bring coherence and clarity to them. The cool thing about the relational database is that it's based on an underlying relational algebra. The syntax of data in an RDBMS is really just one manifestation of a deeper layer of structure that is syntax-free, and these abstract structures can be (and are) manifested in multiple coexisting syntaxes.

I'm exploring this pattern ("datafication", headshake) with Aquameta (http://aquameta.org/) and written a lot more about why file-centric is holding us back (http://blog.aquameta.com/intro-chpater2-filesystem/). Boot to PostgreSQL! :)

>Cable costs ~$60 per month.

That was once upon a time, when television was the only source of in-home entertainment. If you wanted more you needed to go to your local Blockbuster. Plus in 95% of America you have no choice between different cable providers. Now you have quite a lot of variety - I know literally no one my age who pays for cable. One or two subscriptions seems to be typical and will run you $20-$25 a month. Others share logins to these services with their friends. I don't see people paying $60 a month for entertainment any time soon, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.
Most of these questions are just rhetorical. Of course nobody would answer "yes". Annoying to those that haven't done anything wrong.

There are actual diving watches that are rated for 1km or more. The first image on the Wikipedia page for "diving watch" shows one rated for 3km. Rolex famously attached one of their prototypes to the exterior to the Trieste in 1960, and it survived the trip to the Challenge Deep.

Netflix is pursuing everything, not just the “prestige tv” niche. The strategy makes sense as it’s trying to be the replacement for cable tv and the movie industry all in one.
This is a ridiculous statement. Surely you realise that there is a sliding scale.

You can run your own hardware and pull in multiple power lines without establishing your own country.

I’ve ran my own hardware, maybe people have genuinely forgotten what it’s like, and granted, it takes preparation and planning and it’s harder than clicking “go” in a dashboard. But it’s not the same as establishing a country and source your own fuel and feed an army. This is absurd.

How accusations are handled of course also influence the rate of lying.

If an accusation is investigated thoroughly with evidence examined and carefully weighed, there are serious costs to making a false accusation (also, unfortunately to a truthful one).

If an accusation is just accepted at face value and the accused is automatically shipped away to whatever punishment is mandated, making a false accusation is much more attractive.

So the idea that "since women never lie about rape we can stop investigating rape accusations" is a bit like the anti-vax idea that "since measles is rare, vaccinating is pointless".
The money quote, paraphrased.

If anything, I began to appreciate even more intently that flow and tranquility were the true sources of happiness for me all along. It was like I had pulled back the curtain on that millionaire’s dream and found, to my surprise, that most of the things on the other side were things I already had ... It’s funny, though, because I remember rich people trying to tell me this before I was rich ... And I remember always thinking “yeah, that’s easy for you to say now — you got yours”

I learned of the FIRE[0] movement several years ago and have been working towards since, still far off from being FI but comfortable enough that I don't look at menu prices and spend a relatively large sum of money to pursue a sport. As much as I enjoy working with software, I'm quite ready to hang up my cape and spend all my time in the mountains. Sometimes friends ask me about it and when I try to explain basic financial discipline, the above quote is the response I get. 'You've got yours.'

There is an "unreachable" which may be possible to use with some creativity.

Haven't really thought that through, as I'm taking a different approach.

Since the Wasm VM executes instructions virtually, it should be feasible to pass the VM a list of addresses to break on.

eg have the VM listen on a socket, and pass it break point info (etc) out of band.

The main Go debugger - Delve - does this with non-Wasm targets.

As a Wasm VM executes, it just needs to check if the current instruction matches the current break point list or any other trigger conditions.

Thus, trying to figure out debug info decoding. At least the location in memory of variables, for displaying them when a breakpoint is hit.

There's not much use in a debugger that can't show the value of variables. ;)
I got rid of my TV entirely in large part because of the ads. I run an ad blocker. I’m not a fan of most advertising. But man, when something is actually useful and unobtrusive I don’t complain! Imagine if every ad was a captivating story that made you think and introduced interesting concepts (like death being less something to fear and more about what you leave behind). That’s not going to happen, so even if this is an ‘ad’ I for one am quite happy with it.

If it's indeed leftovers from the tests, not leaks in containment, this is a good thing. Let the clams collect the waste, harvest and dispose of them safely, and replace them with seed stock farmed elsewhere.

Plex is legal to use, but not all that easy to set up, at least in my experience. At least, I would expect anyone capable of using Plex longterm on a TV to also be able to pirate stuff.

The point about legality wasn't about Plex, however. It was about paying someone to torrent stuff for you, which is still copyright infringement.

I tend to agree. Here's my opinionated point of view: The reason governments get away with printing too much money is the negative effects are subtle.

Under negative interest rates, people are going to see their bank account balance get smaller periodically. It doesn't matter if their purchasing power is identical to what it would be under a stable balance in a period of inflation. Yes, it would spur some more spending, but I think the cognitive impact of seeing your bank account bleed money will drive a behavioral shift away from traditional currencies to alternative stores of wealth. e.g. precious metals, crypto, real estate, etc.

In other words, the farther you ratchet the wrench, the less effective it will be. I would think after a point, nobody wants your e-cash, and people just continue to use cash among themselves - indifferent to your imposed exchange rate - with secondary markets for wealth storage popping up.

The article didn't really explore whether jurisdictions that introduced NIRP observed an uptick in "black market" currencies or untraditional stores of wealth.
Surprisingly, the most important organizations (like banks and government departments who have critical data) who need to ditch this practice, embrace it like the holy grail.

This should be coupled with the usage of multi-factor authentication and making users aware of when and where their accounts have been used.

In organizations, one issue is users knowingly sharing their accounts with fellow workers. It's not because they don't know better, but because this is more convenient. Forced password changes (with limits on password re-use) can limit the risks caused by this.
