So is Lagukan an actual word then? I lived in Malaysia for two years (as an LDS missionary), so I know about "lagu" and "-kan", but wasn't sure if the combination was actually correct or not.
Minimizing expenditure from the oil fund is important to mitigate inflation in a country as low-population and rich as Norway. Goods and services are already incredibly expensive in Norway without the compounding effect of funding the entire government from an external revenue source. The Norwegian government regularly takes into consideration the inflationary impact when considering financing a project from the fund, so I don't think they'll be disposing of taxation any time soon.

I don't think most people feel negatively about these missions but I do think that a lot of people that are pro space exploration feel that we should be doing these missions as well as human space exploration and that we've really dropped the ball on that second part for the last several decades.

Well we've seen decent IPC gains from Intel and massive gains finally from AMD, clock speed increases are less of an issue as we get more threads packed into smaller packages with higher IPC.

The desktop side of things doesn't really have an issue with clock speed since cooling is less of an issue, its the thin and light progression of mobile that's holding it back.

Personally I wish people would accept a bit more heft and noise from their laptops so that we could get a better selection of plain chunkier laptops. I still use and love my X201 Thinkpad, but sometimes I think about saving the money to make it a bit more powerful[1].

Small gaming laptops pack a lot of punch if you are willing to accept some fan noise and flashy exteriors.

Yup. Rich is when money's just there. Like water on tap. Maybe you'd think twice about running a hose out in the street and turning it on for a week straight, or filling an olympic swimming pool. But if you want a glass to drink, to rinse off a dish, to wash your hands, to run a bath, whatever, all you do is turn a knob and there it is. You don't even think about it.
>They're completely secure.

No, they are not. They will never be. They might be secure, but not completely. It is true that we are getting safer, but you should not stop thinking about the risks that will never go away.

If you use a VPN, it's absolutely safe.

The solution is to raise more public awareness of VPNs, and their benefits.

Also, automating the setup of self-hosted VPNs (like OpenVPN) on a home machine (like a Raspberry Pi plugged into the router) would go a long way. I personally prefer not to use third-party VPN providers, as I don't really know whether I can trust them.
Also there's a huge difference in housing costs within a metro area based on when you arrived. Due to rent control and low construction rates.

So a 15 year renter will be locked into low rent rates and have significantly more disposable income at the same salary. Their low rent is a huge asset that isn't traditionally valued.

In California there are also limits on property tax increases. A theoretical person in SF who bought a house in 2005 now has very valuable property and low property tax rates, along with the high salary you'd expect from a SF HN reader.
Ideally, no. If you install their CA certificate, though, all bets are off.

I see far more slippery slopes than slippery slope fallacies. It makes me want to reject these kinds of ideas from the get-go, because the pasts of our bureaucracies and representatives have given us really no good reason to believe every great new idea won't be expanded far beyond its scope sooner or later.
London and San Francisco are not typical cases though. Most people earning median income, but living elsewhere, did not participate in a housing market with such dramatic price increases.

(As a side note, it's now impossible for people earning median income to participate in those markets, due to the expense).

EDIT: That said, I do think that income is over-emphasized in categorizing people as rich or not. A person who lucked into a house that went up in value might not feel rich, but they definitely are richer than the person that has to borrow a million more dollars to live in the house next door.
And those people now have high incomes due to the return on capital they can get from their net worth.
Lend Direct | Two Roles | Onsite | Central London, GB | EU/UK Citizen Required | Graduate Roles
https://www.lenddirect.io/

A FinTech business founded by a former Goldman Sachs Partner. Since commencing operations in July 2017 it has successfully built out its first lending segment and is now in the process of exploring opportunities in several other lending segments. In addition, the company has been approached to licence its proprietary software and is exploring the potential for a cross-entity enterprise software product. The business is already solidly profitable and not subject to any funding pressures.

The company currently uses institutional level risk management in order to ensure we have a solid foundation, but maintain the agility of a start-up. This allows the company to explore new avenues while having a solid foundation to work from.

We want to grow the team, the business is growing well and consistently. The two roles advertised will start out as as generalist and aim to start their specailisation by their 6th month at the company. There are plenty of oppurtunies to to learn and grow. We work closely as a team so there will be alot of personal coaching, but we also push employees to achieve external formal qualications (such as from CISI - Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment), in order to broaden everyone's horizons.

As an American, if I didn't have to worry about healthcare expenses for me and my family, then I would place my idea of rich at a much lower threshold. But because there is no safety net, everyone has to accumulate that much more to have security and peace of mind.
Who Will Design the Future?
They are saying “nobody is going to loan you money if you don’t play our games”. There is no other party you can go to if you don’t like their behavior.

A loan is shared risk. If it wasn’t there should be no interest payments above inflation and labor.

Where is the line for invasiveness? I mean, if I knew a couple was having issues and they were in counseling, but they didn’t start until eight years in, that’s a bad sign and any therapist will probably tell you so. If a bank is allowed to know everything about you they will say no to a loan, probably killing the relationship once and for all. Similarly if they know he has a doctor appointment to look at the lump on his testicle. Predicting people’s lives are about to get very difficult and then forcing it to happen by rejecting or calling a loan is movie villain cruel.

If I were their friend and knew about the marital strife, and they wanted to borrow money from me to do something expensive, my reaction would be no. It was always going to be no because I don’t loan money to friends unless I don’t want that friend. But what I’m going to say is, “besides, those two aren’t gonna be together in three years so how would I get my money back?”

You want banks in your bedroom? Because by their logic this is useful information and if it’s available it would increase their profit margins...

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
Sorry guy, but https encryption is not easily broken. No one really needs to see your bank balance that badly.
He capitalized it, showing it as a proper adjective. That's pretty good casual trademark use in my book. :-)

I really like genericized trademarks - fun to look over lists like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericize...

The problem is when the either the brand becomes so dominant ("Kleenex(tm) facial tissues") or the item really lacks an easy, generic noun (Velcro(tm) "hook-and-loop-fasteners". Yeah.)

Escalator(tm) ... motorized staircase?

Trampoline(tm) ... spring jumping pads? Oh, "Rebound tumbler".

Dry Ice(tm) ... solid carbon dioxide?

Dumpster (tm - who knew?) ... large dump-able garbage bins? Bet they really don't like Dumpster(tm)-diving or Dumpster(tm)-fires.

And patents exacerbate this "problem" behavior, because for for the life of the patent (17+ years) the product class is uniquely associated with the brand, so there's no need for anyone to use a generic term (Velcro(tm), Aspirin(tm) acetylsalicylic acid, Xerox(tm) photo-copies).

So the lesson is, when you create your innovative new product, don't just give it a catchy name, also give it a catchy descriptive name, and make sure you promote both.
It's so simple to get condoms and wear them - or to just partake in a lower risk sexual activity. No one is forcing anyone to have risky sex: it's a choice, and just as we don't accept arguments that men's desires are so uncontrollable that they cannot be held accountable for rape, so we should be sceptical of arguments that a person cannot help themselves but participate in risky sex.

And Prep won't protect you against the myriad other horrible STDs apart from HIV/AIDs now will it?
it blows my mind that people don't understand that c-level people at corporations literally legally cannot have control of their own stock in this capacity. it sells off at predetermine intervals throughout the year set by accountants that aren't made known to the executive. this just a another example of that.

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ (replacing still present Erlang[ß]) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and increasingly Kubernetes. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend, infrastructure, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .

---

ß: to pre-empt questions on why C++ or why not Erlang - our exchange team have promised to put together a proper write-up on the tradeoffs, design constraints, performance needs, etc. In fullness of time, that is, when the most painful (and probably interesting) migrations are behind them.

Do you know what the odds of contracting HIV for straight people that have non-anal sex are? Infinitesimal. Even when one of them is infected, the odds are less than one in a thousand exposures.

OT: the fullscreen modal on pageload made me want to bounce immediately. But, in good faith, I tried to register. It took like 10 minutes, because required fields (Industry, Company Name, Job Title) automatically cleared in the case of a form submission failure, "Other" categories broke the form, and the user is required to sign up for at least one category of bulk mail, told it's "optional", and given the frequency options "daily", "weekly", or "monthly". If no categories are checked the form submission fails and the form clears half of the fields. The password field gets reset but still appears to be filled, so if the user submits an otherwise correct form the second time the same fields clear again.

A new visitor is visually assaulted before even seeing the linked article (e.g. evaluating your site). The prospective user is then lied to and punished for attempting to register, and the site is shown to be shoddily constructed.

I thought about being explicit: I am not questioning your work or your worthiness or your satisfaction with life. But nobody knows if different circumstances would have led to a life more valuable to society. I am surprised you don't think there was anything better you could have done in your life, but to each their own.
What's to say the article wasn't nonsensical? It's generally a listicle of platitudes that doesn't really go deep into anything. You could summarize most of it in one sentence. Professionals look at long term consequences and constantly challenge their own biases by accepting outside commentary and criticism. That sentence encompasses most of the article. I generally expect higher quality from FS, the article on second level thinking it links to is a better example of their usual content.
