>For everyone who isn't familiar with bankruptcy law or hasn't been casually informed - how do they survive retirement

That's a big thing that breaks my heart to see happen. People have a giant pile of medical bills, and a large 401(k), and decide to raid their retirement funds to pay off the bills when there's neither a legal nor moral obligation to do so.

>if you're retired in a state that isn't protective of your primary residence (and lots of people have retired to places that aren't Texas) then what?

My standard advice is to limit your home equity via a mortgage or line-of-credit. Losing a $300k house to creditors sucks, losing the $60k in home equity on a $300k house sucks a lot less.

>and what if your mind is deteriorating, then it's on your inattentive descendants to make sure all of this is running as it should be?

You should have a well-documented financial plan anyhow, especially if you want to make it easy for your heirs to deal with your financial assets.
Would you consider adding expanded filters/tags? I would be most interested in 'information security', or 'digital forensics' type of jobs from twitter. Examples, #InfoSec, #CyberSecurity, SANSInstitute or rhinosecurity on twitter, etc.
Thanks!
You are probably right. Having seen gigantic fires in CA I think it is important to take fire mitigation very seriously. One good forest fire can erase years of progress.

To put things into context and quantify...we know wild fires have produced, on average, 8 billion tons of CO2 per year for the past 20 years. That is fully 25% of total annual CO2 emission, which sits somewhere around 32 billion tons per year.

That’s a very serious contribution that makes some of the things politicians focus on absolutely laughable.

If we plant trillions of trees and, at some time in the future, experience a massive forest fire we could easily move backwards several decades.

What I am saying is that fire mitigation has to be a first class concern when we speak of reforestation.
Yeah, I've never had the experience that those project schedules ever turn out to be realistic. You get to the end and then there's just more stuff to do in less time. And now that you've put in all those hours everybody wonders why you're backing off from the project.
Well I assume you can still see it when it's dimmed, however if you can't, you can simply lift your wrist.
They're not. There's an animation. It doesn't turn off. It dims. Like they said.

I love that they're touting this amazing feature which exists on any cheap $5 drug store watch.
But it's a pretty straightforward rule once you know it right?

This is simply a matter of reading the docs (or making the mistake until you learn). Not an inherently more complex characteristic than, say, Class component lifecycle methods, which also required understanding their rules and reading the docs.

Once you know refs updates won't re-render, you won't make this mistake.

I don't understand why "a thing you need to learn then you're good" is somehow inherently more complicated than ... other apis that you need to also learn.

> but most people think of refs as...

This sounds like Dan Abramov's comment that some of the struggles with hooks is from people who have experience with react without hooks, vs people coming new to the whole thing. So maybe it's about relaxing pre-conceived notions until experience takes over.
To me the answer seemed obvious, and I wanted to reply "it isn't supported anymore in iOS". To my surprise, this 5 year old tablet of yours is still supported in iOS 12.4.1 [1], and it will also be supported in iPadOS 13 [2].

That's impressive. Which Android tablet from 2014 or 2015 is still supported nowadays?

Or make them independent of the phone. It looks like iOS 13 takes some steps towards that independence. I’d honestly like to have a watch instead of my phone.
I'm not sure that WeWork has a strong business model. WeWork is absorbing the financial liability of signing long-term leases, and not passing that risk onto their customers. So financial discipline is critical to their business plan. Customer growth without financial discipline will just increase those liabilities.
> all-day 18-hour battery life.

Is there a standard for what "all-day" means? I think most would initially assume 24 hours, but thinking about it more, it seems reasonable to consider "can work from wake up to sleep" or "can work from sunup to sundown"/
Regus may be huge, but they're generally not listed in any of the coworking space directories I've been checking.

I know they're in my city, but the website location quotes daily prices based on a 24-month commitment.

Either they don't feel threatened by WeWork and independent coworking spaces, or they don't feel the need to adjust their terms and contract conditions... which I find curious.
Driver here. Several years full/part-time.

This looks like a situation where the solution is worse than the problem. And there is definitely a problem which is that Uber and Lyft (especially Lyft[0]) want to treat drivers like employees. I don't think the solution is to classify us drivers as employees but for them to stop treating us as such.

[0] - the most egregious example of Lyft controlling drivers is the treatment of XL drivers. Uber gives XL drivers a toggle switch where you can turn off regular and carpool rides as desired, this allows you to dual-platform. Lyft does not. In an effort to "keep you busy"[1] Lyft tries to strong-arm you into accepting regular and carpool rides regularly.

If you decide that, as an independent contractor running a small business, you would like to only give XL rides on both Lyft and Uber's XL tiers it's impossible to remain in good standing with Lyft and at all times you will live with the threat of deactivation hanging over your head.

Nothing. My senior is applying, and keeping fingers crossed.
I think what people overlook is that WeWork is more than a company or a coworking space.

WeWork is carving out a new nation, with its own space and rules, from right inside an existing one.

And its citizens are from one of the productive and capable segments of the population: tech workers and entrepreneurs.

If they can get past growing pains, I foresee WeWork becoming a superpower.

Hopefully, their human-owned nature will keep them on the good path.
Alternatively they could make their watch work without any phone (stand-alone).

Right now you cannot even set up a new Watch device without an iPhone.
The link in my comment clearly shows that most of the profits are going to a small number of corporations. This is even more evidence that companies are more unstable (compared to period between WW2 and now).

From the article:

>In 2015, for example, the top 200 companies by earnings accounted for all of the profits in the stock market, according to calculations by Kathleen Kahle, a professor of finance at the University of Arizona, and Professor Stulz. In aggregate, the remaining 3,281 publicly listed companies lost money.

The employees of those 200 companies are in a good spot, but not the remaining 3,281. The consolidation due to vertical integration, automation, outsourcing are all resulting in reduced demand for labor, hence the lagging wages and instability.
> Where is the mention of other new programming languages that also fit this category? Where is the mention of Rust?

The article is about Ada. If you want to read about Rust, go read about Rust.
Here's the landing page for the accelerated L7 Proxy aka Firefox Private Network (powered by Cloudflare): https://private-network.firefox.com/

I quite like the fact that once this goes mainstream, it'd help limit surveillance and bypass censorship on the web in one fell swoop without having to install or trust 3p other than the implicit trust in Mozilla and its partners (in this case, Cloudflare). Knowing Cloudflare, I'm sure this proxy is as much abt speed and latency as privacy and security.

For time being, it looks like this is available only in the US and only on desktop versions.

I'd like to point out though, that, one could run a Tor proxy (it also has a VPN mode) on their phones [0] today to workaround censorship and surveillance; anonymity is a bit tricky over tor-as-a-proxy.

The speeds over Tor are decent and nothing you can't tolerate whilst casual web browsing. It is probably going to be free forever unlike Firefox's private network.

Interestingly, Google has bundled WiFi Assitant (VPN) for free on Pixel devices sometime now: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6327199

The reality is that engineers with a strong foundation in the fundamentals can pretty much pick up any new technology. The details are different, but the underlying principles of software engineering, algorithms, data structure, distributed systems, etc. are the same.

I guarantee you that a talented kernel hacker, with a few weeks of reading the docs and writing some toy examples, would be just as productive in React as the front-end developer with years of experience.

I work in a pretty niche industry, where hiring people with specific experience in the tech stack is rare or impossible. So, I see this up-close and personal all the time. Fluid intelligence, an understanding of computer science fundamentals, and a demonstrated history of delivering results trumps specialized experience with the specific technology. Every. Single. Time.

Keeping this in mind relieves some of the anxiety of keeping on the treadmill. You might feel like if you don't start getting experience with Kubernetes or Typescript or Airflow that you'll be left behind. The reality is that if you're smart, then if/when you need Kubernetes/Typescript/Airflow, you'll be able to pick it up in a week or two.

I think some of the industry-wide problems with this come down to the fact that HR is too involved in the recruiting process. The typical job listing gets written by someone who's never written a line of code in their life. They just walk down to engineering, talk to the manager, hear something like "we're using Kotlin", then decide to add "5 years of Kotlin experience required".

It depends on the workload. If you can cut the work onto 1 millisecond chunks that barely interact you can scale fine in this paradigm.

Threads are used both to schedule work across cores but also to manage waits on i/o, a server will have threads running when it is waiting for a client and a Windows or Linux or Mac has many servers running for local use.

Threads are not efficient for I/O scheduling (async/await or select or similar apps are better, but harder to code for.). They are efficient enough for your laptop to have 2000 of them.

The basis for investing should be connecting companies that actually need money with the money they need.

If a company is already making enough money to fund its whole operations plus make a profit that it can use to grow, and it isn't trying to massively grow at all costs, then it has no reason to sell itself to an outside party for an injection of cash
I don't think the argument is novel, it's just a cut down counting/frequency argument. So any objections to those would presumably port over.
Titanium as an option is worth calling out as well. The navigation stuff seems like it could be more fully-featured in the future (would be cool to get Google maps-esque nav directions on my watch instead of keeping my phone in my hand, for example).

The concept here is a battery-powered locomotive to be used in conjunction in a set ("consist") with conventional diesel-electric traction units. There should be some gains including capacity to provide traction and idle fuel-based traction especially in rail yards.

The article omits mention of direct electrification of freight rail, a long-standing concept that's been largely rejected in the US for numerous reasons (I'll see if I can track down references on this). The short version: there's a lot of trackage, much of it remote from any generating source, and the vast masses and long grades involved make ensuring power quality a challenge.

The thought occurs that batter-based traction plus electrification might address this in part, especially allowing for a boost to climbing and regenerative capture on grade descents which would otherwise pose grid challenges. The article does not discuss either possiblity, as it avoids the topic entirely.

It also avoids mention of the frequently-cited fact that freight rail achieves efficiencies of up to 500 ton-miles per gallon, second only to marine shipping as the most efficient form of transport yet developed. Rail's performance is already exemplary. Improvements remain welcomed.

"Wake to Sleep" seems to be the generally accepted definition, i.e. you won't have to charge it during the day during normal usage. How long you're awake for can vary though, I've seen anything from 8 hours to 20 hours of battery life be referred to as "all day".
As a frequent traveler the emergency calling feature in so many countries without needing to sign up for another service is pretty dang cool. I was in an apartment in Eastern Europe sleeping when the kitchen caught on fire, luckily I woke up from the crackling of the walls/roof and no alarms went off. Luckily I had memorized the local emergency number and had a local sim (I don't always if I'm not in a place long enough) and was able to call the emergency services but it could have easily gone the wrong way. Sometimes seconds count and you don't want to be googling a local emergency number

I don't see batteries being able to store the amount of power (for a practical battery lifetime to be cost effective) needed to make solar a practical primary electricity source.
The reason it is bad is that you will lose control of it. Even if you have a handle on the truth now you will lose it if lying for the sake of narrative is expected and widespread and nuanced discussion is suppressed to avoid hurting you cause.

What you lose is ability to detect when it is time to change the cause (because it is fixed or something else even worse comes up or unintended consequences are uncovered).

It is akin to setting a course and then closing your eyes as to avoid any distractions on the way.
> Ada code controls rockets like the Ariane 4 and 5, many satellites, and countless other systems where small glitches can have major consequences.

A somewhat amusing endorsement given that the infamous failure of the maiden launch of the Ariane 5 due to series of interconnected software bugs - a reminder perhaps that the choice of implementation language does not automatically make for a reliable system.

Looks like a nice mid-point with some of the pro features (keyboard, pencil) and it rounds out the line. They really do seem to be competing with the Surface Pro here. I find the two products fascinating (disclaimer I've got an iPad 9.7, iPad Pro 10.5, Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Pro 6).

My use cases are "on the go, notes and and apps", this tends to be an iPad, and "portable office with some development" this tends to be a Surface Pro. I take pictures with my iPad and mark them up in Notability. The simple AR-Kit measuring apps are useful here as well. When I want a terminal / X session or multiple displays I use the Surface Pro. While I have the stylus for both, I sketch more on the iPad than the Surface even though in some ways the Surface drawing experience is better. I have yet to achieve the rapid fluidity they show on stage with either device, and I drew the line and buying a Surface Studio (mostly I do e-cad in my spare time with some mechanical for 3D printing).

The odd man out here is my Android phone. I would consider a cellular radio/blob that could pair with my iPad and provide simple phone/text service. If the Apple Watch is the wrist screen, it would be the 'ear screen' for me. I would want it to work independently for calls/text so I could just have it for contact, but it doesn't need the entire app ecosystem like the iPad has. Not sure if I'll see anything like that.

And I'm still looking for a sketch app that is something between Visio, Harvard Graphics, Sketchpad, and Solidworks. Maybe something like Sketchup with a better finger interface to go with the stylus. Or perhaps I just need to sit still and put in 10 - 20 hrs of solid work on one of them to get more proficient :-)

With the exception of the Nintendo Switch, portable consoles died due to the cost of all-custom hardware and the rise of smartphones and tablets. Bluetooth controllers can even be paired to phones and used in some games.

Besides, other than Nintendo, who would even make such a thing? (And it should be noted, Ninentdo has two entries here - they're still producing the 2DS XL version of the Nintendo DS.)

Sega's got out of the hardware business, thanks to Sony's shenanigans. Microsoft has a portable gaming system with the (x86) Microsoft Surface. Not a "true" console, as it runs windows and not a heavily locked down GameOS, but some would consider that a plus.

Sony stopped production on the PSP Vita only earlier this year, so it's only freshly dead and shows Sony hung onto the idea of a true portable console for as long as possible.

An interesting entrant into the area, though, is Nvidia, with their Shield. Discontinued, it was still an interesting product. Thing is, it leaned on Android for its operating system, but that's not to say smartphones killed "true portable consoles", but that Android broadened the base upon which portable consoles could be made. There are a handful of handheld game devices that could not have existed before.

For the reason you stated here. It's more a conflict in personal philosophy I guess.
Only reason I don’t have an Apple Watch is because you can’t stream Spotify over cellular, you need to have your phone with you. What’s the point? I want to go for a run and stream music with just the watch to my Bluetooth headphones. I don’t need the watch if I have to bring my phone with me.

Unfortunately my experience with the iOS compass in cities is that it's often confused. I wouldn't trust it too much.
Same here, except I quit completely to stay home with our two kids. The decision was easy. One day when I was working remotely from home, the nanny rushed in carrying my 6 month old daughter. She was completely unresponsive, having her first of many febrile seizures. Eyes rolled back, body limp. We called 911. By the time they arrived she had mostly recovered, crying, but could respond to us. I quit a few months later.

She's now 5 and her brother is 7. They grow out of febrile seizures and luckily she hasn't had one now for about 2 years. Overall she had about half a dozen.

Besides that, the reason I also it is because if one day, my child is a drug addict, asshole, school shooter, or any other "failure" of sorts. If someone asks me if I did everything I could to prevent it. My answer will be yes, I gave it my all.

It seems in the US when people say I want to provide for my children, they mean money. But more money doesn't really help your kids, it helps you. What kids really need is people to provide time.
