In a similar fashion to the Warren Buffet, it would be nice for people who give advice to also post a high level asset overview like house, mortgage, stocks etc. It's hard to evaluate any comment without knowing some biases. I believe it would also help commenters to stop and think about their own biases before posting.
Gold is mostly inflation proof, but it has a volatility. The price of a cow in gold/silver hasn't changed that much in the last 5000 years (you can check the prices in ancient Egypt yourself). USD lost more than 99% of its value in a few hundred years.

There are still market cycles for gold, and also if you're going physical, there's 2-3% exchange cost as well.

Silver may or may not have a VAT problem in your country.
AMD laptops with Vega are becoming more available [0]. I'd guess, with all the positive media push around AMD, we're going to see a lot of new AMD laptops hit the market later this year into early next. I mean Intel's latest NUC even has AMD Vega in it. NVidia shot themselves in the foot with regard to a horrid Linux driver experience. In general it's fine for desktop systems but when you're forced to log out of a session to do a driver context switch on a laptop it gets old fast.

I-732 was the first attempt, designed by some real pros and supported by James Hansen [1], who tends to agree with your assertion that revenue neutral approaches are the only way to navigate the politics. It got weird and lost support from prominent organizations related to not being inclusive enough in its design... or something. The more inclusive follow-initiative (I-1631) was worse from a neutrality perspective and lost.

It's not as if the police are pulling a Batman and watching every ring simultaneously, but instead they can do the digital equivalent of going door-to-door and asking "Hey, did you catch footage of your neighbors house being broken into last night?"

Frankly, I actually trust a bunch of random citizens to have video footage more than I trust any company or government organization.

Hmm. Meat eating is better for the environment because it'll see off humanity faster? Presumably along with driving the least economical car you can find, etc?

I see the point. I don't think it's the answer most of us prefer though.
Sometimes it's called a "mandatory buy-back" like in Australia.
For me that's a mix of ethical and environmental concerns.

I agree that there is a point in the belief that it is unethical to kill animals. That's not the most unethical thing that is happening in the world, there are a lot of things to argue about, but in general, I agree that in an ideal world, we should not do that.

The environmental concerns, I only buy half-heartedly. I don't really believe that land-owners will transform their pastures or soy cultures into rain forest instead of another profitable exploitation, I'd rather have states force responsible production and norms.

It is just not practical for me to go full-veg, where I live I would need to cook one hour a day for it, and I am a lousy cook, I have neither the inclination or the motivation for it.

But I reduced my consumption more and more. It was surprising to see how my taste changed. I used to be a huge meat eater and now I find eating even a small steak a bit nauseating. I almost eat no beef anymore, little pork but mostly chicken and fish, and even these I eat little.

Based on what?

We saw similar pronouncements following Elizabeth Holmes' civil charges. And pretty much every scandal preceding and succeeding that.

This settlement is similar to the J&J public-nuisance ruling in Oklahoma. Public nuisance does not require proving intent. Proving intent is difficult.

Many believe prosecutors in the United States, Canada, and Europe, will find evidence of ill intent amongst members of the Sackler family. That would lead to additional confiscations of property and, if criminal convictions can be attained, potentially even jail time.

But that's a longer, more difficult and more expensive process. Hence why this comes first.
Do you qualify the person with the most merged PR's as the leader of the engineering team then?

I write such comments sometimes, the reason is simple: when a codebase has a lot of comments in general comments often act as separators of "groups of code" (and often read like short prose), so seeing a bit of code not having them feels unbalanced and i add some generic comment. The comment acts more as a separator or header, in a "this is the part where we do XYZ", than anything else.

Also this has to be taken into account with syntax highlighting where comments are made to stand out. It doesn't work that much when comments use a faded out color (like some schemes use) or without syntax highlighting at all (well, except perhaps if you use ====== ALL CAPS COMMENTS ====== :-P).
Do you have evidence that this is happening? Otherwise, completely FUD.

The goal I was referring to is making it easy for regular folks to use end-to-end encryption. Any real measure of security needs to be practically usable by the intended audience, and the clear and consistent intended audience for Signal is regular folks who don't have a sophisticated threat model. If any other identity scheme were used, I'd guess the number of Signal users would be an order of magnitude smaller.

This is not to say that there aren't great reasons to have more elaborate secure messaging systems that address these questions, for anyone with a different security model.

The analogy that I have started to use recently is that of a pressure gauge. Money has to flow somewhere. The US just dumped a ton of money into the economy when the pipe (ability of the economy to move a lot of money between a large number of people, aka bandwidth) is essentially static, not much wage growth, little hiring, etc. That money has to go somewhere, so it goes to the stock market, because that is where the pressure is the lowest (very easy to call up a broker or go online and dump money into an account, compared to say, hiring and employee that can add real value to your company and the economy in exchange for a paycheck). Most of the time people assume that companies are going to take the money they get from stocks and invest it in growing the company or in paying salaries or paying for goods that pay salaries, etc. Unfortunately the corps are all sitting on loads of cash, and buying back stock, and not hiring or expanding (on average). As a result? Money that we normally expect to be growing the pipe, increasing the bandwidth of the economy to do real work, is instead flowing back into the pressure gauge and up goes the pressure, zoom! The economy is doing great! Right?? No. It is hard to get a good measure of the bandwidth of the pipe, and trying to interpret the pressure without it is folly, especially with regard to the impact of reducing the money supply (incoming volume of water). When the flow through the pipe is large and there is high bandwidth and the pressure is high, and the money supply drops, then we would expect the pressure to come down a bit, but in general to be stable essentially due to high inertia in the primary pipe, but if the total bandwidth is low? Then the pressure gauge is going to plummet, because the increased pressure (stock value) was due to a large flow trying to fit into a small pipe, and that pressure increase was due primarily to the change in the money supply, not due to fundamental soundness of the current economy (inertia).

Not a perfect analogy, with plenty of mixed metaphors, but simple enough to reason about and see where it breaks down.

tl;dr economy is flow in pipe, stock market is pressure gauge, if you don't know the flow through the primary pipe (hard to measure directly), then your pressure gauge could be extremely, dangerously misleading

Maybe you need to parse "decimal numbers" as "fractional numbers" rather than "expressed using a radix of 10".

Perhaps it would be better phrased as "computers can only store whole numbers, so they need some way to represent other information, including integers, rational numbers and approximations to complex numbers."
Agreed. I would definitely purchase one if it was marketed more as a platform and less as the third iteration of a phone.

If I could buy a better camera that's compatible with the FP3 in a year, then a better screen 2 years later, etc, then I would definitely purchase this.
Like a lot of these IOT things, this is "not your doorbell", it's just a doorbell you get the privilege of using.
I imagine this would be the case for minor variations. But I could not reproduce such a massive difference simply by refreshing the search (the differences were always after the decimal point). Also the time of day (middle of the week, ~13:00 and same day 22:00) doesn't really suggest surge pricing would explain i, especially twice.

I understand that 2 data point don't really make a reliable dataset.
> Do you want more Amtraks?

That gave me a good belly laugh. In the metrics I care about, Amtrak could be seen to represent the government at their best.

The trains run on time, are more comfortable than flying, and often cheaper too. The dining cars are surprisingly good (snack cars are lackluster though), and I've found every Amtrak employee I've ever dealt with to be a kind and courteous professional. And they look after their customers in other respects too, such as chasing away the notorious serial-gropists known as the TSA. Amtrak treats regular people like humanely in a way that contrasts sharply with how American airlines behave.

From my perspective the primary problem with Amtrak is disappointing coverage of the country, so yes I want more Amtraks!

(Incidentally, my experience with them is more limited, but I found the workers of the Alaska Marine Highway, a ferry service operated by the state of Alaska, to be similarly pleasant people. So maybe there is a trend here..)
The average 401k holder knows that it's a tax advantaged savings vehicle and that there aren't many of those available to individual investors. The tax advantage completely outweighs all of the negatives that you listed in almost all cases.

Advocating that people not take advantage of a 401k because something about the government potentially seizing it is basically saying you shouldn't save money at all.

That is the question I found myself still asking, despite the above articles...
I think his (somewhat murky) point was the there is a frequently a distinction between 'managing' and 'leading' a team, particularly a technical one.

Managing is generally considered a role that involves HR/scheduling/career development type tasks, i.e. soft skills.

Leading, alternatively, is perceived as a harder technical role. Sometimes involving overall architecture and design depending on the role. More hard skills.

I suspect that stress is "baked into the corporate cake" - in other words, most corporations are quite toxic to mental and physical health by their very nature.

If you want really low stress you might be better off outside of the software industry altogether...
