The stock market doesn´t generate wealth, it prices second hand (for the most part) company ownership coupons.

Inventing new technologies creates wealth. Building, constructing actual objects such as cars, clothes, computers, medicines creates wealth. Growing food creates wealth.

The stock market is a way of moving ownership around to a limited extent, but mostly it is a medieval way of sharing risk among the ownership class that has been extended way beyond its original purpose and designs. The entire stock market could be wiped out tomorrow, and there would still be an economy of factories, farms etc. The reverse is not the case.
The thing about stocks is, to me, that their value is completely divorced from anything other than “what someone may pay for it”. Company posts losses, stock can go up. Company posts profits above projections, the stock can go down.

It’s solely based on human behavior, which is completely opaque and illogical to me.

EDIT: Disagree if you want, but it's quite demonstrably true. The stock market keep going up only because we humans have put in protections to ensure that it can't crash. We will literally stop trading entirely to ensure that the overall trend is upwards. However, this is unsustainable; permanent growth (that outpaces inflation) is impossible.

Yet we keep (to me illogically) thinking that it will continue this way forever - to quote a sibling thread here "it's the only reliable way to generate wealth," as if it is permanently incapable of also generating poverty.

I haven't noticed that nationalism is particularly obsolete, it's just out of fashion among people who prefer to reject objective reality and substitute their own!
"inlining everything" is actually maybe not the best approach. It's been talked about a lot, but it's not always helpful. For example, C compilers (or LLVM) are unable to optimize boxing and then unboxing a double into a Ruby Flonum and back.
I had a microwave that upon finishing would show the message "GOOD". I guess it was a bad translation of "done". It also always had to beep three times at ear piercing volume, even if you opened the door after the first beep.

You're looking at this backwards. How many 2nd generation m/billionaires stay that way vs the average person becoming a first gen m/billionaire.
The University of California definitely has "Postdoctoral Fellow" titles. The "Research Scientist" titles are better paid/more permanent. "Lecturer" titles usually come with minimal research and mostly teaching obligations (the former two don't).

Honestly, it really sucks to let people go and I would assume it’s not something taken lightly so I admire you for coming out and taking the time to try and address it as best as you can.
Show HN: I've Made a Simple implementation for find up in Go

There are a few projects to make this more accessible. We have

vscode: https://github.com/alygin/vscode-tlaplus

Jupyter notebooks: https://github.com/kelvich/tlaplus_jupyter

emacs: https://github.com/mrc/tla-tools

I sort of wrote a vim plugin, but it's nowhere near as sophisticated as the above three. I also recently made public a personal CLI tool (https://github.com/hwayne/tlacli) for running TLC on the command line. It's experimental but I find it really useful.

Though it's accepted in industry at this point that customers will need to actively fight against the producer not to get swindled - it's still nice to respect your customers.
That's not what OP asked and probably not the answer he/she really wants to read. This being hacker news I had hoped the top comment would be something that actually might help someone who wants to create better stills from video.

I see this on a lot of forums: people not answering the question but feeling that they just have to give their piece of advice that OP is having the wrong problem.

Stop it. It isn't helpful. Especially to others who look for answeers to the same question (but perhaps for entirely different reasons).

True, but to do #2, most people have to do #1, at least for a few years. That investment capital has to come from somewhere, right?
Likewise academically speaking, statically typed programs can simulate Universal Turing Machines, QED.

If the detailed requirements describing the inputs require dynamic typing, then the statically typed program has to whip up a facsimile of that dynamic typing. It's not an implementation detail; it shows up in visible, testable system behaviors.

And then, there you are, with the possibility of errors that are not caught at your compile time.
Anyone is welcome to comment or suggest any improvements

Nope, they went through all that trouble and didn't pin the certs haha

But in general, getting around cert pinning is pretty straightforward though with Objection and Frida.

It's a little bit of a cat and mouse game since they can probably be detected by a determined app developer, but I haven't run into any issues yet
You add salt as you eat on the exposed portion. You can try putting salt on the initial bite spot, most of it will fall away, a bit will remain though.

Using AI to enhance CCTV footage for the purpose of identifying criminals seems somewhat unfair to the individuals whose photos were used to train those AI models.
Isn't GarageBand a sort of DAW for creating music? That would be way overkill to just be able to play a .midi file, no? Also, I'm sure if you just want to remap some midi devices, you would prefer a 1.2 MB tool that does that, rather than an entire creation suite of tools... Unless you have a need for the rest of it!

Just out of curiosity, what do you do with your all your spare time? Is there really nothing you can do with your spare time that'll help you get ahead? Something like education, maybe? Or doing something for your community that'll be valued and gain you some valuable skills or experience?

Also, is there any way you could move somewhere where you feel you have more opportunity or maybe work remotely?

What about making contacts with and impressing people who might be able to give you a chance at work?

Or starting an online business of some sort?
Yes, that is what we do in JSC.

With the caveat that core routines that are very cool don’t get included no matter how simple they are and warm/hot ones get opcodes even if it’s very annoying to do it.
Alphabet owns way, way more computers than anyone else. You could lose any of the “top supercomputers” in the cracks of their datacenters.
> Most of the high-value problems have been dealt with.

I could not disagree with this more. Most of the underlying problems have been solved, now we don't have to worry about buying and setting up machines to run our servers, or making a computer be reliable before we can start working on our problems. This is the most exciting time ever to start working on real high-value problems, because there isn't a lot of stuff in the way stopping you from getting to work on it.

There are still a ridiculous amount of high-value problems left to work on, for example, biology and computer science are just getting to a point where we can do meaningful work there. In 30 years, there will be someone talking about working in the underlying problems there and saying most of the high-value problems have been dealt with.

Every field has a lot of crap optimized towards just making some profit, and the underlying tools have made it easier to build something just to make a buck, but you can choose to filter down to more exciting projects.
I doubt most consumer applications write to the database nearly as often as we were.
Also very likely a particular model of the drive and also sheer luck that one worked and one did not.
I've tried both extensively. Both suck. And they're not really comparable, except on their problems.
Yeah, the book is... quite different. It's a series of little stories told to the point-of-view character, a reporter, who has this device and records the stories as notes from an interview.

The stories are basically illustrations of how great the Three Laws of Robotics are, which is not surprising since Asimov invented them himself.

I'm a happy ripgrep user. I'm impressed by its speed, its ease of use, and the positive vibe on the issue tracker. Naturally, I never reached out to burntsushi -- I don't have anything to complain about!

> When I was a young adult, I'd pride myself on being “logical” and “free of emotional decision making.” Like all good lies we tell to ourselves, there's a kernel of truth to it. But for the most part, at least for me personally, I am a deeply emotional being.

I wonder if this is in part related to getting older. When I was younger, I was into being logical myself. But as best I can tell, that was true for myself back then: I cared about work progressing effectively, and in my mind the best to achieve that was through direct, blunt communication. When I was on the receiving end of that, I was happy about it. Now that I'm older and have kids, I do think a lot more about how to say things. It does make working with people who are exactly like I was a bit slower, but it increases the pool of people I can collaborate with. So it's worth it (...I tell myself).

> Rudeness, on the other hand, comes in all shapes and sizes: “Just chiming in to say that I would also really like this feature.”

This is a great example. From the side of the person leaving this comment, it feels so innocuous! "I'm just saying I'd like this too. Ignore me if you want, I'm just adding a harmless data point." But from the side of the person who's getting tens of these messages, it feels so very draining.
I've exercised my entire life, regularly at a high level, and my allergy to cats developed when I was 10 and has only gotten progressively worse over the years. Started with just itchy eyes and skin and is now into full blown allergy induced asthma. I tell almost immediately when I'm in a house that has had a cat in the last few years. It's terrible. One data point and all...
As a Fira Code user, I like the look of JetBrains Mono - but I'll wait for a "light" weight.
Apparently we can.
Eat enough of them, and you'll develop the proper technique - do the initial bite slowly and carefully, while gouging the internal pressure. You might need to try another spot. Then immediately suck the interior. Then proceed eating them one pocket at a time, while occasionally sucking any free floating liquid.
What's 'low-code'?
In my experience with pure mathematics, it was much closer to your description of CS/Stats. The standard path is to spend 4-7 years doing the PhD, then another 4-6 or so doing postdocs under various guises ("research fellow", "visiting researcher", "<non-TT identifier> assistant professor"). Most American mathematicians I've met followed this path, including profs at teaching-focused institutions as well as Fields medalists.
Anti barratry/champerty statutes went away because people were harassing the NAACP, not because we wanted to enable any rich guy squashing people saying things he doesn’t like about him. What next? UK libel laws? The class system all over again?
I think you unfairly are blaming the "billionaires" here and failing to acknowledge the organization bankrupted themselves by violating the law.

They didn't have to violate the law and expose themselves to a lawsuit for damages. Even then, they didn't have to spend themselves into bankruptcy fighting the lawsuit. They could have saved all the legal costs and accepted a judgement. Of course they could have not violated the law and avoided the lawsuit altogether. It seems to make sense the person who was damaged by the organization personally dislikes them, but that has nothing to do with the company going bankrupt, their own behavior is what lead to them going bankrupt.
Do you invest 0.1% of your wealth in things you considered to have 0.5-5% chance of happening? I don't. And I have a rather clear example in mind, something I do consider at a 5% risk and yet refuse to bother about.

I don't, because it's not just the amount of wealth, but the consequences, and the complexities it creates by snowball effect.

I don't want to talk about my stuff, but let's talk about their escape plans, as I can easily imagine how it would require some similar planning.

These properties in NZ will require upkeep. It will keep their mind thinking about that too. It will also cause other slight increases in costs (the example of getting into a plane: add the costs of a 24/7 on-call flight team + a spare plane in case the first one has some unexpected failure)

Even if they have someone whose job 24/7 is to take care of that, they may want to visit the NZ properties time to time, to make sure things are proceeding according to plan. Because you can't trust people for something as important as that.

And their mind will incorporate these limits into whatever other calculations. For example, a juicy business deal in Europe? A concert or a conference where they can physically meet with some key person? Sorry but they shouldn't go to that conference as it may be too far from NZ in a catastrophic scenario, with the airspace closed, if they don't have another plane+team in Europe too. What's another 0.1%? Sure, add this plane and team in Europe. Then you need a manager, a company, etc. Then you want to have that on every continent. Then you think, what if disaster strikes in APAC? Might as well get started buying other properties in Chile!

I guess it may be fun for preppers, but when you reevaluate the practical consequences, you come to the conclusion some things are better left undone, to have razor sharp focus on the things you want done.

Simplicy has many virtues, especially in planning. Burning some ships is not just an exercise in removing concentration - it also increases focus.
This reminds me of video game collectors complaining when games get played as the cartridges get scratched. I think collectors need to accept the reality of what they collect. Games are meant to be played, and coins generally need to be cleaned.
I wonder if the “stacking” software often used in amateur astrophotography might help.

I use it, mostly for toy stuff (work is 80% Java).

Once you get used to it, Smalltalk is really the most amazing development environment. It's hard to describe how it feels to work with live objects - it's an incredible speed boost, because instead of grepping logs or stepping through code, you just interact with the objects directly, you can examine the state of instance variables, add new methods, or change code while the code is running. The feedback loop is so short, you get amazing productivity.

There's a great video floating around somewhere of someone debugging an Asteroids game while the game is running.

From what I've read, the downside is that working on larger programs in a team is challenging. It takes a lot more communication to keep the code base consistent and structured.
You are right I will have to look at the guidelines book at some point. My feeling they cannot possibly be right because observed wage stagnation combined with observed costs should never converge to low inflation. Do they even consider mortgages maturity length and interests when looking at monthly payments?

It's false[1]; everywhere in the US is 2-4 F warmer than it was prior to 2000. He may have this impression from looking at 2002, which was a particularly warm year. Some parts of the midwest have been cooler than they were in 2002.

The general thing about the person he was responding to being totally wrong was obviously correct.

That's pretty deeply incorrect, I'm sorry. I think you mean you can rent a room in an apartment with roommates for 1K a month, which is the going rate unless you're in a luxury area.
One reason is to load it into their employers expense system for reimbursement... My company credit card expenses automatically show up in our expense system for easier expense reporting.

Another reason is so I can audit the charges -- if my credit card had an option for "Don't track individual purchases", I wouldn't use it since I want to look at the charges at the end of the month and make sure they were mine.

It really is not. All it takes is non-zero curiosity and picking up a book or two. Every single person of sound mind that has some history knowledge or evolutionary biology will confirm that life in 2020 is remarkably easy.

The things that we have at our disposal are remarkable!

Too many people take everything we have now for granted. I blame two institutions: school and parents. Sure, there are market forces that thrive on greed, but that's not an acceptable excuse!
True - and I think thats what the problem is that our society faces today. #1 isnt as valuable as it was pre-Internet.
