Thanks for the reply! I'd love to ask more questions, but I should be honest and up front about why I made the original comment. I'm currently building a tool for these kinds of use cases, and I've been curious what pain points people are experiencing with current tools on the market. Every one that I've looked at has solved one piece of the puzzle, but I haven't found any that really nailed it IMO.
NSW liquor store employee, we were briefed on these last week and we accept them now.
Is there any evidence to that? There is no way anyone could possibly survive for a year (outside of a third world country) on that. Those statistics likely include students working part-time etc...
What else can one think?

You could be wondering if you're getting cheated on your salary.
Right. I make $360k a year, and just living in a decent apartment already eats up 24% of my after tax income. Sure, if I had roommates and lived in a basic apartment, I could cut that down to 12%. Point being, it's hard to get by on only another 3%, and I'm making pretty okay money...

Having family that contributes is also a major theme of the article, but isn't necessarily what you might think as "hidden wealth". That made me think the most, particularly about what contributions my extended family might have made (directly or indirectly) and also if there are any contributions I should be making back.
>Is that still true without incentives

Are you sure you are accounting for Nuclear's extreme incentives? Nuclear as an industry gets its liability capped to around $12.6 billion, whereas there are plausible trillion dollar accident scenarios. It is as if you got free insurance and only had to pay insurance on paying the deductible.

The law was passed in 1957 partly because we wanted to subsidize nuclear proliferation and used byproducts from plants for weapons.

"it's just $X/mo"

That's the mentality that often gets people into debt.
Really? I've been sharing Google Photos / iCloud Photo Library albums with my friends family for years, and even my technically-inept relatives have had no trouble liking or commenting on them, all without the need for Facebook.
Emphatic yes. I visited there back in the 1980s, and the crowds were overwhelming. It was such a noisy, claustrophobic experience that I had to get out of there. I pretty much fled through the rest of the Vatican museum without really seeing a thing. Can't begin to imagine what it is like now.

We’re happy for you. You’ve made a lot of good decisions and probably had a lot of luck/help. We’re truly happy for you. I also want to take the opportunity to tell you that you need to check your privilege.

I’m also not even sure what you’re complaining about. It’s really easy for me to wonder, “how people do it” when I’m buried in medical bills and my spouse’s student loans. Do other not have these same things? Do people have family money or help that isn’t obvious and why can’t I have those things?

It’s kind of unbelievable to see the top comment is someone complaining about how this is a thing when they literally have no way to see how it could be.
> The statement you made about google issuing more shares has nothing to do with my logic and is completely irrelevant.

Your logic is that shares are money, but companies can print shares, which would imply that they could print money.

The shares are only valuable because they represent the company. The value in the shares isn't independent or duplicative of the value of the company. If the company burned to the ground then the shares would be worthless too -- it's the same wealth, and as long as the resources are invested in the corporation, it's the corporation that has control over it.

You're trying to make a lot out of the fact that the owners could sell their shares, but there are two reasons that doesn't do it. The first is, that doesn't come into play unless they actually do sell their shares. But if they did that in practice and spent the money (not just move it to another investment security) then we wouldn't be having this debate because then they would no longer be billionaires.

And the second is that they can't actually do that at scale, because in order for that to happen, you would need somebody else to buy the shares from them, which would mean that that person would have to commit an equivalent amount of resources which then couldn't be used for some other purpose. As long as Amazon exists, it necessary that somebody be foregoing their own use of an Amazon-sized quantity of wealth.

> When you buy something with money, the same thing happens - the amount of wealth held by both parties doesn’t change unless the goods are overpriced or are consumed.

The most relevant part of that being consumed, because that's what the disposition of resources is really about. Trading one investment for another is still investment -- and investment in corporations is giving control of your resources to someone else. Actual spending is consumption. You burn fuel or use electricity. You pay a person to do a job and their time is consumed and can't be used for something else. You occupy some land that then nobody else can use at the same time. Those are the things that actually matter to people and affect the world, not whether Jeff Bezos owns shares of Amazon and Larry Page owns shares of Google or vice versa.

What I'm getting at here is that if you want to reallocate resources from adtech to something else, it is actually necessary to deallocate it from adtech, not just sell your shares in the adtech company to somebody else so that the same total amount of resources are allocated to adtech but now it's somebody else's name on the documents. If the same amount of labor continues to be spent on targeting ads, that labor is not being spent on curing cancer, regardless of whether ownership of the shares changes hands.
Please teach me how to rent an apartment that is less than 15% of your income.

In Amsterdam: cheapest rooms I've found (not apartments, rooms) are 650 euro's. If you can get these you're really lucky.

Salary for entry level is 1600 net. This goes up to about 2300 to 2500 after 3+ years of experience (that's truly the fastest trajectory forecast FYI, it's more like 5 years).

Alright, so let's live somewhere cheaper in The Netherlands. The cheapest I could find that's in reasonable distance of Amsterdam (that's where the jobs are) is about 500 euro's.

So how do you do it? I want what you have as well. Heck, I'd live in a simple garage with very basic amenities if I'd have to.

Edit: I've tried to apply to startups in the US, there are no takers because of the visa restrictions. I've also applied to FAANG, also no takers. I have 3 CS or CS-related degrees (1 bachelor, 2 masters) and 1.5 years of work experience.
Pretty okay...cmon buddy.
It's about time for us to take back the web from advertising.

Back in the 90's and early 00's the web was an amazing place with high signal and low noise. Now you have shitty articles creeping into our social feeds that we can't even read -- they're effectively advertising on Hacker News, Reddit, etc. at no cost and then asking us to pay. That shouldn't fly.

News websites asking for money should get zero placement on social sites or news feeds.

These websites complain that we're depriving them of money, but the fact is they chose to build websites. They made a land grab during the commercialization of the internet and they're dissatisfied with the results.

Meanwhile we have auto-playing video ads because Google ad reps say it drives higher engagement, and the tech to support it is being built into Chrome because it earns Google more money.

Ugh.
I don’t really get the point of this article.

If you know how much someone makes, then you can deduce relatively quickly that they are either a.) in serious amounts of debt, or b.) have some other form of income that you aren’t aware of.

Besides the wide availability in chainstores (like Target) and low price (~ $100 towards the end), you could find 2 or 3 books that spelled out how -everything- inside worked, and how to access it ... using the built-in BASIC or, if that was too slow, assembler. So it was pretty much wide Open.

Many MANY magazines supported it with type-in software that adventurous users could freely modify. (Among them, 'The Transactor' dived deepest.) And empowered -many- users to comprehend important basics.

There are millions of families in the US living below the poverty line.
I am very curious about this approach. What kind of hardware/software. How much of a learning curve for the two of you as already-web developers?
Because when I moved to America at 16 and had nothing, and was homeless so I could pay for college, I didn't give care about how I looked relative to others. And if I spent my money impulsively or even worse cared about impressing anyone other than myself, I'd likely be in crushing debt right now just like most people who appear to be "living the life". Last I checked, hard work is not privilege.

Nobody likes to talk about how the "self made people who need their privelege checked" did before they were well off. Not the pitfalls, not the multiple years of 90 hour work weeks.
I think this is particularly good point. In general, i would consider sentences in direct imperative mood as grossly inappropriate (for code reviews or anything else), unless from someone in position of legitimate power / competence.

It is interesting that they do not hesitate to use such disrespectful form in blogpost about respectful code reviews.
Many are equipped with fuel dumps. Others have mandatory “overweight landing inspections” prior to further revenue flight.
It is definitely a more specific use case than most security cameras. Currently, we use it as more of a real time monitoring tool. Me and my wife use it as a quick baby monitor for our 1 year old when he is taking naps :)
Does Rayon use iterators, or just iterator-like combinators? I don’t think a for-loop would work with Rayon, would it?

You can also definitely implement iterators using first-order functions:

const iterate = array => {
const step = index => ({
value: array[index],
next: () => step(index + 1)
});
return step(0);
}

// add some combinators on top

First order functions can in fact implement anything if you’re willing to accept some bad syntax and speed — that’s the Church-Turing equivalence.
According to several passages in the article, that term was used by Facebook. Whether they use it in the same way as the credit card industry, I don't know. But if FB means something different, the error does not seem to be with the article.
That also ties in well with this other comment from the article:

For Collins executives, it was also validation of a dramatic transformation the company had undertaken years earlier, in response to demands from Boeing, to do more with less.

That race to the bottom demanded by Boeing is not looking so good now.
It’s hard in two senses: one, it’s hard to translate low-level commanding into meaningful work in all but the most controlled of environments. That’s why robots that are economically viable today are nearly all on factory floors: that’s basically the only setting where you can control the environment well enough for them to be useful.

And two, for “advanced” robots (quadrupeds/humanoids) it’s very hard to get them to even balance, much less walk. Yes, there are robots that do this today — surprisingly well, in fact. But there is a tremendous amount going on algorithmically under the hood to make it happen. Figuring out how to make them work took decades of research in controls.

This is largely a restatement of what you said above, so I suppose it depends on what you mean by “low level”. My intent above was low level in horse terms, which includes standing and walking. Things humans think of as atomic behaviors.
Museums that attract a lot of tourists are geared towards moving people in and out as fast as possible. The longer they are in the house the fewer tickets you can sell.
Sure they do. Not while stick handling or skating normally, but while receiving a bad pass, sending a puck between their skates while trying to out-maneuver a defender, etc. Cages affect your peripheral vision, as well.
That's exactly Andrew Gelman's point. A different, more sensible analysis, could have (most likely would have) resulted in a nothing-to-see-here conclusion. That conclusion would not be a publishable result, and publishing is the main incentive in the field. Ergo "the incentives are all wrong".

Andrew Gelman by the way, is the father of the MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) engine STAN (together with Bob Carpenter [1]).

and how often are planes fully loaded with fuel? A plane only needs enough fuel to reach the next destination. Saves the weight and money.

We are at roughly the same compensation. If you save 60k a year vs 120k a year, the time it takes to own a house is cut in half, the rent and interest bleed stops twice as fast.

Now you're saving 180k a year by reducing bleed even though your expenses are the same, etc etc. Compound finance is a helluva drug
Pizzagate was an online popular movement that raised suspicion against numerous political figures on both sides of the aisle.

I think you're giving Cernovich way too much credit here. Many right-wing personalities latched onto pizzagate because Bill Clinton flew on the "Lolita Express" many times, sometimes without secret service, and this made HRC look bad. Cernovich is a publicity troll: he latched on because it was self serving. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a 'topic sliding' agent being used intentionally.

A lack of accusers pointing the finger at Clinton does not exonerate him.

But I agree, from what I've read, it seems that Dershowitz and Trump both had involvement - at minimum they had prior knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
Here in the States, Delaware and other states have also been trying mobile driver's licenses. Alarmingly to me, it seems police officers might eventually be able to remotely access the driver's license information of a person with a mobile license when the officer is physically nearby the phone, though perhaps that is less bad than having to hand over and unlock the phone outright.

Yes you’re right re: spelling.

I don’t think I’m being radical at all, and I’m glad you agree with my points. If you read my original post, then you should agree with it. But there are quite a lot of replies against, and many disagreed that it would lead to less condom usage.

I don’t, however, believe I’m perpetuating stigma. I’m pointing out that new (to the world) strains of HIV are a perfect example of what worries me about a generation that feels a false sense of security. I’ve already watched previous generations die off, and I don’t want to see lessons lost. If you want to call my concern stigmatizing, we’ll then I wear that with pride.

We learned in the 80s/90s that safe sex meant condom use, and that did have a tangible impact. For those particularly at risk PrEP is great because condoms break. Abstinence is the only thing that’s 100% and it’s unrealistic. But removing condom usage because we think there’s no more diseases to worry about beyond HIV to me is foolish, and the evidence of the history of epidemics validates that.

Custom furniture is art, not engineering. As for building homes you will find engineered wood in trusses and almost all sheet. 'Sticks' are used for framing where a little warp will be corrected for by the sheeting on both sides, and might only come out as a few mm of wall thickness variation which nobody will notice unless you look directly along a wall. Use a grazing light to see how bad this can be and then compare to standing around looking at the wall. Works well for ceilings and floor too.

Not sure what's more alarming, these regulators looking to micromanage companies or the number of comments supporting this stuff.

The concept that capitalism works best if it's free from any/all regulation could work with a very strong shared societal moral fabric.

Sadly, Western culture accepts and even promotes greed and selfishness over the common good.
It's hard to argue limited resources when they're talking about spending £200M against the size of the global energy market. Limited resources is an argument for spending 80% on storage and 20% on fusion, not an argument for not even spending <0.1% on fusion.

I think I was sorely misunderstood ...the point is to not spend on what you don't need - whether that's 15% of your income, or 80%, it was there to illustrate just that. When I started working at 18, my living expenses could've been 100% of my income if I even tried to live "like average". I lived like I was on welfare and saved my money and because of that, avoided the typical mid-20s credit card sinkhole, the fancy cars, and all the other crap nobody really needs. Career trajectory aside, the savings from the years when it was the hardest to save were the only way to get to this point.

Cities in the US are more expensive due to housing policy, as you mention, but also because cities as the engine of American business and growth are subsidizing the rest of the nation. A significant chunk of every city dweller's money ends up in taxes that are transferred to far less efficient and less wealthy non city areas.

Take away the wealth transfer from cities to non urban areas and the only people living in rural areas will be the wealthiest and end of the world preppers.
