Not a buzzword at all. I actually well understand your doubt on the usefulness of blockchain as I was dubious myself on crypto/blockchain. As I researched NFT (non-fungible token) assets and the concept of the ledger and applications attached to that ledger I realized the potential applications.

A prime example here is addressing counterfeits within the industry. FTA:
>“Prospective and current owners [...] may buy and sell digital assets through one or more blockchain ledgers operating on the decentralized computing system. [...] By way of example, and not limitation, a user may buy a new pair of highly sought after sneakers from a verified vendor who may provide authenticated provenance records for the sneakers. [...] After receiving the shoe box containing the purchased sneakers, the user scans the box UPC with a barcode scan feature in a sneakers app operating on the user's smartphone.”

Being able to authenticate a shoe via an app, transfer ownership easily, all very useful in the age reselling via the likes of GOAT, StockX, Grailed, Depop, Ebay etc etc.

Fakes are a huge problem. As a person that buys on the secondary market I would welcome this.

Having a record of shoes I've owned (and let get trashed or use as beaters) - as a collector this is awesome.

Also having shoes that "breed" and then create an opportunity for a new drop? Love it as a consumer (if done well), and totally get it from a business perspective.

The first thing I always think about with ultrasound is how it's used to break up kidney stones. Is there a danger here of breaking up the tumour and thereby allowing cancer cells to spread through the body more easily?

A wealth tax that doesn't exclude an amount typically invested by a middle-class worker is a non-starter.

There are already tax benefits for your primary residence (which, for many people is their largest share of wealth), so there should be at minimum tax exemptions on your 401k, IRA and maybe ~200-400k invested through other means.
Any Apple authorized service center is “willing to do that”?

That is the question and their mode of business. I am not aware that they are required to perform work on random Macs brought to them and they are pretty scarce. Which brings us to point #2:

Also there is a big difference between “it can’t be done” and it “cost more than I’m willing to pay”.

Yes, it is better than "it can't be done". But it is a strong limitation of a computer, if the pure work price for exchanging a memory module or a SSD is $300. And requires to find a service center which can do the work and probably a longer stay there. Even on most laptops, such actions are a matter of a few minutes, and on most desktop even much faster and normally user-doable.
I've noticed that smaller, targeted communities are on the rise. This thread [0] recently caught my attention and introduced me to Mighty Networks [1] which is software to enable these smaller niche communities. This is what comes to mind when I think of the "next professional network", even if it isn't some large centralized product that "everyone is on."

Went to school after my 1st child was born (back to school). Racked up debts to ITT tech (mistake) and it took me over 10 years to get to the income they promised in their sales spiel.
About 18 years later I climbed out of the 2x poverty hole and I'm still looking at renting for the rest of my life. I've paid little on my loans and my oldest daughter is going to college next year.
Alot of these student loans are to non-traditional students who were promised more then they were delivered.
The point is that while for you it is your choice and pleasure to spend your free time doing something with a direct career benefit, for others, there are often other valid and important uses of their free time and so there is a cost to that.

The question is if that cost an individual occurs if they choose not to spend their free time on career-related skills is ethical or good for society.
They’re not incompetent. They have domain knowledge in both the general industry of the company and the fine details of the company itself. They’ve probably been nearby the backend developers while they were talking through issues and even offered insight in the lunch area about specific algorithmic problems some backend developers were having.

Languages tend to be super easy.

Frameworks are a little bit of work.

Domain knowledge is hard.
I'm glad they are trying to quantify this exactly, but shouldn't this already have been default understanding?

I see flurries of earthquakes around the ring of fire specifically because it is one gigantic plate! if one side of it moves a tiny bit, the other side has been displaced a tiny bit, so anything on top of it is moving also

Ask HN: GSuite users, how do you do Knowledge Management?
I am imaging many startups here use GSuite. I was wondering how you do knowledge management.

We tried Keep, but it's much too simplistic to store documentation. We now use Docs, but it is a mess, to structure the documentation.

I am curious what you do, to store important information?
Most dividends are qualified and thus taxed the same as capital gains.
It isn't. That's an important part of having a diverse and less myopic perspective.

Slight nit: The math you're using is creating money from nothing. You started off with $10M and by dark magic you now have $10.3M.

What really happens is that you start off with $10M in stock.

With dividends you get $300K in cash, but now the company doesn't have that cash anymore so its value is reduced by $300K, so you end up with $300K in cash and stock which is now only worth $9.7M.

With buybacks you sell $300K worth of stock to the company. Then you have $300K in cash and the $9.7M in shares you didn't sell which are still worth the same amount because even though the company has less cash it also has fewer outstanding shares and those cancel out.

This is ignoring the effect on valuation of separating the business from the cash -- if the business is more productive than the cash then that may indeed make the share price increase, because then you have a more concentrated investment in the more productive business instead of having the investment diluted by being forced to also invest in an ordinary pile of cash that happens to be part of the same corporation.
Aramco’s Failed IPO Went Pretty Well
> give the Premium free trial a chance.

I did a year ago and was pretty disappointed. It might be my location or my niche, but it didn't really help me in any way.

It actually matches a certain pattern of uselessness from LinkedIn for my purposes (generating leads for freelance jobs). I get notifications saying "23 people saw your profile this week" - and none contacted me, so are you just rubbing it in? It would be useful if it tried to tell me something about why they don't ping me, but as far as I remember there was nothing of the sort. And of course the sales product is extra (and extra-pricy) and the ads are extra (and does anyone actually look at them?)...
They're higher because they have more productivity. Business don't preferentially open locations in the places with the most expensive real estate just because they have too much money burning a hole in their pocket, they do it because they make more money by having locations there.

I think at a high level we can all agree that there are two main classes of networks. Bandwidth sensitive: for example Netflix, or a JS bloated website. And latency sensitive: for example gaming and autonomous vehicles.

My top concern is transparency with respect to what routes are available. I wouldn't want my domain to be excluded.

How the backend economics play out will influence this. Large players will eat the variations (in the beginning at least), and small devs could have access to a better tier of networks.

I just fear pricing models will become even more user hostile however (compared to the current service economy). Think Uber pricing for games. Surging to 4x+ prices after school, for example.
I recently gave xamarin a go using the visual studio integration: it was a horrible experience. The VS integration was terrible at crucial tasks like tracking file changes (even with frequent build cleans and restarts), and the APK sizes were huge compared to native builds. Xamarin forms was still very awkward to use.

If you try xamarin, don't use it with visual studio. Both dart&flutter and kotlin feel considerably smoother in my experience, even with the dumpster fire that is android studio.
This factor almost exclusively led me to leave a company. They demanded billing time to clients and also required a working day filled with billed hours.

Where was I to learn? On whose dollar? Multiple clients need me to learn the same thing? Who takes the hit?

In the end the system is setup to pressure me into taking the hit out of my own time. I consider this one of the great evils of consulting companies.
I'm guessing you own your own home, locked in around 20 years ago. You do know what rents are now, right? If you have to carry family health insurance, that's another huge chunk of money.

My city of roughly a half million was mostly developed post-WW2. Even the denser areas are not really walkable. They tried painting bike lanes on existing roads, but that has just increased the number of bike fatalities.

Maybe expanding bus service 500-1000% and having it run 24/7 would work. Anything less means low-wagers will still need a car.

Passing a Fair Scheduling Act and giving low wage workers a daily $10 to $20 dollar Uber/Lyft credit would do more to dramatically improve lives than mass transit spending. But that is less fun to think about.
Personally—I think because I've seen so little of the code I've written actually live long enough to seem worth the time it took to make it, including a bunch of small-potatoes projects for huge companies that took months of my work-life and then were simply binned because they changed direction or acquired some company with another solution or the project was doomed from the start because they'd very obviously allocated far too small a budget—I'm no longer turned off by the idea of having a job that's more-or-less understood to be entirely bullshit, the way I might once have been.
Yes, and it’s possible for me to plant lettuce underneath my apple trees and deliver romaine to people in 10 weeks.

But the courts can’t force me to do that.

They can force me to turn over lettuce that’s already in the ground.

In both cases I “can” deliver a hundred pounds of lettuce to the courts. But the courts can only demand things I already possess. Not “whatever I am capable of collecting”.

Your praise for Musk can't be repeated enough. Whatever you think of the guy, he is completely fearless regarding big investments in things that are possible in principle, but with a large risk of failure.

Most people shy away from those kinds of risks. I really wish we had more people with capital that took big risks on things that are unlikely to succeed, but would materially bring the world forward if they did.

I think you have a very different definition of low density than everyone else.

Low density means there is at least a full building worth of space between houses and ideally several buildings worth.

It means you can stand on every side of your house and look and have difficulty seeing your neighbor.
That was my first thought.
Yeah, 101 for people who think they know more about market timing than the average other person who shares the same believe.

What do you base your statement on? I've heard this take before, but I haven't seen anyone provide a good explanation for it.
It boggles my mind too. I know the arguments for it. The "rewards of previous hard work" ignores inheritance (plus other kinds of favoritism and/or luck). The "risk premium" argument has some merit, but doesn't come close to justifying the "all of it" premium that we're actually close to. Other arguments ignore power or information asymmetries, various kinds of market failure, etc. None of them even come close to matching the obvious point that work should be rewarded more than non-work. The direct fruits of individual labor should be the last thing we tax.
A recent Masters graduate trained in data science with Pandas, and also accounts payable work experience, got hired very very fast on good terms when the hiring department found out how facile and fast the Pandas python approach was to finding duplicate or other problematic payments. Maybe the novelty will wear off, but right now, this is absolutely practical.

> I have found Python to hit the sweet spot much better in terms of rapid prototyping, and providing a runway to making the prototype more rigorous and maintainable.

I've found Swift to be extremely good for this. It might be hair slower than python to get a project up and running in that very early stage, but it has a similar feeling of "writing the intent of the program not the syntax of the language" and the type system and compile time checking help alleviate a lot of the growing pains you might run into when a project starts getting medium-sized.
Seattle-area scooter rider here. I don’t ride rentals, I have a Boosted Rev and a Xiaomi M365 (what many rentals use). I don’t think the rentals and the Xiaomi are really meant to be used in the wet of a Seattle winter. Even the Rev, which touts its weather-resistance, needs a fender extender if you don’t want to get covered in crap (which makes me question how much they tested said weather-resistance).

That said, it’s just another single-track vehicle like a bike, and all that comes with it. Such as, riding on ice or snow is foolish. But even if it’s just rain, reduced traction means increased chance of locking a wheel and dumping it. Hence the likely reason the rentals went away, along with who the hell is going to ride them in the rain? (Answer: people that went ahead and just bought their own.)

In summary, my only complaint is that by just standing there instead of pedaling, it is kind of hard to stay warm when it is chilly. Otherwise, empty trails make for a great ride this time of year.
It is clear to me that most people commenting here don’t understand or use LinkedIn effectively.

I suspect regulatory capture is part of the equation too. It's overall cheaper to effectively ban competition than to actually compete.
All things being equal, catching $117k in double payments sounds great.

I'm curious of it's a net win, though, once all the costs (and benefits) are considered.

> You see this in inheritance taxes. The tax may be reasonable but may also lead to the forced selling of family homes if sufficient disposable assets aren't available.

This is a benefit, not a drawback. If the million dollar house is just sitting there, unmaintained, and occupying a large plot of land, it's most certainly being underused.

Nor are the inheritors entitled to live in the family house in perpetuity. Society may well find a better use for this house, and inheritors will almost certainly be better off with smaller houses that they can afford.
The protocol itself is aimed at being universal, so it's inherent to the protocol.

Company A and Company B both use the same FOSS application. Company A has internal devs that add/fix the FOSS, but keep those updates internal. This gives Company A an advantage Company B does not get. Company A managers recognize this, and feel that since the updates were made on company time, they do not have to provide that to the rest of the world. Company A devs commit their updates to the repository, and now Company A mangers feel like they have given away work product for free. Lots of way pointy hair bosses to be upset in this scenario.

Well, no (or at least I guess it depends which educational system you are talking about).

On a few educational systems, you have dedicated curriculums for technicians and artisans/craftmen, with theory in classes, practice in labs and internship on the job.

Net neutrality is about content-neutrality and origin/destination neutrality. It is not opposed to give packets higher priority when there is a technical reason for this.

Having a protocol and routes that guarantee low ping but require low bandwidth makes sense to me. A lot of the current infrastructure is built for TCP: something that can handle losses and actually uses packet loss to maximize its bandwidth use.

Having specific shortcuts to open fast lines do not threaten net neutrality. For instance, I think game devs, would love if you could "reserve" 10KB/s of the lowest ping you have, out of your 500 MB/s "bandwidth budget" and reserve it to a given port.

And note that it is not just games that require it. Telepresence applications are limited also because of this problem.
