It clearly says in the 1Q 10Q:

Europe includes all users in Russia and Turkey and Rest of World includes all users in Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.

I do agree they probably do mean that mean a superset, the wording is kinda odd maybe to downplay the number of false accounts, which are the real issue not the duplicate ones.

I still think these numbers are false, I think it is probably a service to the people working at instagram and whatsapp, that they aren't reporting these numbers, which basically require them to always go up.
I have a bunch of friends who barely used it to begin with. More recently, most of the people I'm closest to who did have stopped using it. I think my aunts and uncles use it more these days though?

for me personally the biggest benefit of weight training has been the discipline it gives me. Once I stick to my gym plan, everything else in my day falls to its place.

Knowing I have to be in the gym every other night from 10 to 11:30, gets me to get my chores done quickly before 10 and not waste time on Reddit/Netflix all night. I also listen to audio books between sets to make a better use of my down time

For anyone looking to get started, I have been following a workout plan called 5x5 for a year and it’s been working all right for me. The idea is you do 5 sets of 5 reps of 5 different workouts and increase the weights you do by 5 pounds each workout
Someone is currently maintaining a fork of GitUp that adds a text size slider in preferences.

Ask HN: Is there a corpus of UI/UX samples of apps in different screen sizes?
I am working on a project that seeks to use an iPad as its main platform. I don't own an iPad and I think looking at other popular consumer apps and good UI/UX practices, while primarily looking at iPad app designs, would help me design my project better. Any suggestions would be wonderful!
Ask HN: What did you do at your job 5 years ago that is now automated?
The media tends to about jobs being automated (typically by "AI") in a big way, but I want to get a sense of how the HN community senses it from the ground up.

What would be some of the examples / parts of your job 3 to 5 years back is automated.

They could be as simple as using prettier for your code, AWS certificate manager than dedicated hours to manage certificates, all the way to chatbots to handle customer queries or beyond.
Personally I believe that Americans are exceptionally unlikely to steal your stuff.

I guess the people who stole my former startup's hardware prototypes and thousands of dollars of equipment didn't get the memo, nor did the professionals who broke into the bike lockers at a previous residence and stole thousands of dollars of bicycles.

> Maxed out insurance (home, car)

This isn't a problem I'm ever likely to deal with, but what was the thinking behind this one? I'd have thought >$1 mil in net worth is the time to cancel any insurance you have (maybe not health) on the basis that you can self insure now.
> for now don't tell anybody but your spouse

Depends. One could not mention it at all, and spend their 9-5 at a some-what serious fictitious company where you work on your dreams, but 50% of the time just hang out with your best friends.

But if your story leaked, it probably wouldn't go over as well if your spouse was going to a difficult job every day.

I really do not think Warren is messing around. Now her actually reaching the presidency is far off and certainly not guaranteed.
The only evidence I see up thread is your assertion “Twitter also explicitly exempts information available from public sources“ which is a stronger statement than Twitter’s own privacy page (“If the reported information was shared somewhere else before it was shared on Twitter [...] we may not treat this information as private”.) Twitter uses multiple factors to determine if a post is a violation, not all of which have to be satisfied, and of which being available through other sources is only one. Twitter also has a history of taking action against users who share otherwise publicly available information if the intent is malicious.

While it’s a debatable point, it’s most certainly not “plainly false” that he violated the TOS; Twitter would be well within bounds to take action against his account.

I got some hot cash several years ago unintentionally. After that, I set up 3 goals:

1. Maintain high quality life

2. Improve skills for my career

3. Meet more interesting friends

With these three goals, I did these:

1. Maintain high quality life

1.1. I bought myself a lot of insurance, both financial and life
1.2. One nice apartment
1.3. Put about 20% to some low risk fund

2. Improve skills for my career

2.1. Best keyboard, chairs and ... as a developer
2.2. Books
2.3. Donate some open source projects and make friends with contributors

3. Meet more interesting friends

3.1. Host regular meetups of great developers in China
3.2. Go to a nice gym as I find people who work out hard and keep self-discipline are normally class-a players
3.3. Get much more opportunities when focusing on what's next than what you're paid
When I tried it VR support was pretty rough control-wise. Some UI stuff looked like it was trying to work but was borked, and also it looked like custom control binding was necessary to get it more useful.

It looked really awesome though!
> Darcy's worth £681K a year and his friend half that. In the Valley or London, what's that, a director level at a FAANG, and a tech lead?

One big difference being, when he dies, that income reverts to his heirs and their heirs. If he was earning that as a wage, it wouldn't. So it's not directly comparable.
The point of insurance is to protect your wealth in an accident. You actually buy more insurance as your wealth increases, at least I do.
The second gen 737 was long in the tooth. IIRC, the 737 NG has a much better wing than it needs because its landing gear is so short that the plane can't get the right angle of attack on the airfoil during rotation.

It's kind of deliciously ironic that Boeing's attempts to cut corners are going to cost them more than a clean sheet redesign, but I really wonder what's going to replace the 737.

We're at the point where we're doing inappropriate things with single aisle aircraft - it's just not great that we're about to have 9 hour flights on A321XLRs. It seems like there's a natural limit of 140-160 passengers on single aisle aircraft but and hubris has us cramming 220 people in them.

Hopefully someone figures out composites enough to create lifting wide bodies but we'll see.

I assume your referring to: “RESEARCH, DEV, TEST & EVAL“ which yes includes the word research, but that’s far from the only thing involved. Which is why it sticks on Dev Test and Eval.

Some of that money involves setting up assembly lines.
Definitely not. You want to insure against catastrophes as they can wipe out all your assets. This includes regular insurance (home, auto, health) and personal liability insurance AKA umbrella up to the value of your assets. If you hurt someone, the victim could seek large damages if they realize you are wealthy. Liability insurance can protect you against that.
Deep pockets make you an attractive target for lawsuits.
Because you're a larger, more profitable, target if you're found at fault.
> Your skills with the German language are exemplary.

I should hope so, what with the being German and all.

The rest of what you wrote borders, again, on projection and doesn't seem to be a constructive way to tackle the issue that you do seem passionate but not sufficiently empathetic about.
- Paid off the mortgage
- Bought another section, built an ideal house on that over a couple of years
- Went to Disney World, took the nieces and nephews to Disneyland (yeah, I'm still cheap)
- Sent mum to the UK for a holiday

10/10 would slave away at a startup again (actually that's a lie, once was enough). We didn't owe any money other than the original mortgage, so there wasn't really anything else pressing to spend it on. Already owned a number of guns, motorcycles, and a basic sports car. No real plans to spend the rest, it's in the bank/bonds.

Basically I'm still living the life I always have, I just have a giant workshop now in which to play with my toys and pursue my hobbies. I think if this had happened 15 to 20 years earlier in my life, I'd be looking at things differently, but at this point I just plan to retire a bit earlier than I would have and not change much else. My father was also very savvy financially, I suspect he would have some pertinent ideas.

I now work for a small company as an integral cog in a relatively low pressure environment. I get to build things every day, come and go as I please, and my contributions are respected and valued. It's lovely :-)
The part about not buying into the market all at once as wrong and has been known to be wrong for decades.

By the time you can tell imminent recession from Google Trends it's too late to do something about it.
I think perhaps french novels have more fascination with money than English novels. The monetary calculation than brings Madam Bovary to ruin is worked out to exact detail by Flaubert. Also Stendhal, in Charterhouse of Parma, almost all characters are expressed in terms of so many francs and sous per year.

Amongst the English, I think Trollope did have a particular engagement with wealth and money matters in his novels.
I guess it makes sense after you think about it for a minute. This is an illuminating execise to be sure!

It's funny how in my head, it seems like it would be way less likeley that you could be indentified with such a high degree of confidence just from those 3 peices of info.
But you can afford to replace your assets if a catastrophe strikes. Insurance won't help you if you die in a car accident, so you are taking out a negative-net-expected-value deal that protects you against a very slim selection of catastrophes. In my experience, probably protecting from risks that are less likely than dropping dead at random one day.

And taking the risk that the insurance company won't pay out for some reason. And creating more paperwork and recurring expenses to keep track of. $5 mil is a lot but it isn't enough to take eyes off expenses.
I often find it’s difficult to keep track of what has and hasn’t charted, so to speak, on this site. You can’t blame the parent for wanting to draw attention to this tragic story.

This is so stupid and pointless, all because a few people that over-obsess about essentially inconsequential numbers don't understand how rash generalization is a logical fallacy, so they assume their experiences must be everyone else's experiences.
Evocative "sorta" names have a tendency to spread misinformation when the scientific details are opaque to most people. It's not a practice that I think is okay.
> "[fans don't] help when it gets above the 98.6 degree body temperature."

I'm not sure about that. It would be true with a spherical cow, but I don't think it's true when real people are involved because people sweat to cool down. I believe that phase change of water evaporating off your skin should continue to cool you down no matter how hot it gets, like a swamp cooler in Arizona. A fan should help this by rapidly replacing the humid air around you with more dry air.

(However my understanding is that evaporation cooling stops working once humidity hits 100%)
Wouldn’t families strongly prefer a larger car period? Is the Y really that much bigger that it’d convert families who are holding out on a 3 due to size? I haven’t seen anything to suggest as much, and both the 3 and Y are def less roomy than other (albeit non electric) cars that families go for.

Subjectively others view gmail as slow and you view it as fast. Lets make it objective.

On a dual core cpu from 2014 with an ssd running linux I opened first firefox 70 and then chrome 75.

In both cases I was logged into my google account. In both cases I opened and then closed gmail to ensure what could be cached was cached.

In each I then entered mail.google.com and measured the time between hitting enter and seeing what looked like a usable interface. Lets compare that to other local ways of accessing email.

Running mu find maildir:/Gmail/INBOX took 9 ms this is easy to measure as it happens in the terminal.

Creating an emacsclient frame takes about 150ms added to the mu query which takes about 9. Logically there is some time required to render the view but its quite small and challenging to measure so lets say aprox 200ms or 1/5th of a second.

Loading the old school plain interface html interface to gmail took aprox 1.5 seconds.

It took 10 seconds in either browser to load the "modern" javascript gmail view.

For reference this is about 7 times slower than the html view or 50 times slower than mu4e.

Reading

https://www.pubnub.com/blog/how-fast-is-realtime-human-perce...

> A response time of 100ms is perceived as instantaneous. Response times of 1 second or less are fast enough for users to feel they are interacting freely with the information. Response times greater than 10 seconds completely lose the user’s attention.

This is why the slow loading Gmail interface has a loading screen so it is perceptibly doing something rather than appearing to be frozen. After this the interface is fast enough in the context of web apps wherein the user expects a small delay between actions but not as quick as a desktop app which can trivially be perceptibly instant.

Interestingly the old interface despite using vastly less ram and loading much much quicker initially appears to say load a message slightly slower than the slower loading interface so the optimum web interface would appear to be the slower loading more sophisticated interface if you don't mind keeping that browser tab pinned and always running.

A desktop app is still on the overall the superior option.

Is your gmail experience objectively different?
I have not gotten quite that lucky, but still lucky to catch a unicorn early enough to have gotten to ~1m at a youngish age.

Have you actually liquidated the funds? Or is that the value of your stock? I think a more interesting question for this audience is what to do when you have pre-IPO "unicorn" shares. On one hand, if you wait til IPO there may be a big "pop". OTOH, it could drop below what it's trading at in private markets. I think about diversification a lot too.

I haven't felt the need to hire a professional at this point, just put most of my liquid NW into a robo advisor (I use the Schwab one) and forget about it.

>the more critical the thing, the shittier the UI

In my experience the more critical the thing, the larger the committee that is formed to "perfect" it or provide feedback that is then acted on to the letter.

I'm never sure if it's to spread the perceived liability for not getting it right across a larger number of people, or truly well-intentioned, but having been part of healthcare for 20 years (not EMRs) I can attest to the design-by-committee failures I've seen when anything clinical is involved.

A couple years ago I came into about $200M (seriously), and let slip more than I should.

Really it just turns every conversation into a roundabout request for money. People are definitely nice to you and ask you onto all kinds of boards, funds, etc.. but it’s a hassle. You start to worry a little bit at least about personal security, especially if you have kids. You also worry about ruining them forever. (Also, watch out for temptation that could ruin your happy family life... suddenly you’re extra “attractive” it seems.)

On the bright side, you can try and get really big projects done, Elon musk-style. Just knowing you have the money helps a lot in getting meetings, raising more money, etc.

I’d just put it all in an s+p 500 index fund. Though of course I haven’t followed my own advice. I wouldn’t worry too much about dripping it in either, maybe put half in over a month and the rest over six months. Long term you’re pretty likely to wish you’d invested sooner rather than later.

I’ve seen them say that and in the general it’s true, but Tesla has been hush on revelaing any sort of demand with the Y and it doesn’t seem like the Y is that much bigger than a 3 to entice those people who’re holding out on a low end Tesla due to roomy interiors.

Related to this, I remember when HN was showing the amount of upvotes on comments (like it does on posts).

I still miss it, because quickly scanning a very thick amount of content, I'd like to know where I should spend time. I do it with posts (and the list /best is great if you're short on time).

The ordering still supposedly shows us the very recent followed by the 'solid comments', but there is 0 information about how 'solid' that comment is by consensus.

That being said, my favourite part of HN is the [-], so when I'm done with someone's opinion and their 300 responses, I can just skip it.
Perhaps the most concerning stats I've seen are around fast rising consumer debt levels (and upticks in default rates on credit card debt + auto loan debt).

No, straight from the phone.

Last weekend I had a friend in the car using apple maps on a newish iPhone, and every prompt from his phone was around a second earlier than from my phone. At 35 mph, one second is 50 feet (15 meters). That's enough to turn a safe maneuver into an unsafe one.

I suppose the real difference is that with java platform, you get

1. 1/10 or 1/100 compile time

2. full introspection in regards to the interfaces (the topic of this discussion). the implementation classes could be obfuscated, but the point of an interface (and an API in general) that it is not.

3. one could possibly allow multiple versions of the interface be present on the same machine at the same time. for example, when SomeInterfaceV1 is replaced (or extended) by SomeInterfaceV2, it might be possible to provide an adapter that publishes the older interface for backward compatibility.

these are just random thoughts, because the difference between current systems written in c/c++ and a new architecture that uses interface-based approach is too great, I don't think I can name a real system that uses it in practice.

done the API versioning myself several times with complex applications though.
Sounds like just the thing one should be doing in a moving vehicle! /s

Congrats! I'm in similar situation couple of years ahead of you. There are good recommendations about the practical side of things in this thread. I like the bogleheads approach of simple index investing.

The actual transition was thrilling for me especially because I never anticipated that my life would still change once more at this age. The joke is of course as I had heard before, but never truly believed, that actually nothing changes. I wish the possibility of finding out that money really does not make you happy to as many people as possible.

I refrained from doing anything for almost two years. First big thing I did after that was to stop paying rent and got a decent apartment. Most sensible things to do with money are incredibly boring. And the fun things lose some of their charm if they become really affordable and common. The whole thing hinges on desire to have something you can't reach.

So the choices are to either up your game or decide that maybe this is enough. For me the jump was so big that my hedonic treadmill maybe got damaged.

I never was so materialistic, but I used to maybe value experiences and dream about ability to set my own schedules. Now I'm afraid that those as well are a mirage. Just a trendy pastime for people like me who have had always quite easy life.

I think the less known secret about money is that nothing needs to be done about it.

Sorry to everyone reading who are in a tough spot. I am aware that this is super tonedeaf.
