The idea is nice, it will have to be seen how the actual product will result in practical use, at first sight, it seems like (mechanically) very "flimsy", the device is intended to be supported by its USB-C connector (and that bar the possibility of accidentally breaking it[1] should be fine) but the moment you use the female connector (which is at the other end of the male one) any weight, be it the connected device or the cable to connect it will create a relatively powerful lever on the male USB-C connector.

The only "safe" way to use it seems to me having it on a stable surface and connect also the USB-C male through a cable.

[1] disclaimer, I am not saying that it will happen to you, but I had several USB sticks and/or USB receptacles (the much sturdier type A) broken and/or bent and or however ruined by clumsy colleagues or cleaning ladies and even pets.
Also worth noting how different the different goals/approaches differ between the WebKit and Blink teams. The WebKit team is very deliberate in their development, only committing to new features once they have some level of assurance that it can be done with minimal negative impact to efficiency, privacy, and user control where the Blink team moves almost entirely in interest of getting as many new features out as quickly as possible with comparatively little regard to negative side effects.

Both approaches are needed to maintain a balance and to preserve real choice for users — there is no practical difference between Chrome, MS Edge, and Brave because their differences are skin-deep at best.
I wouldn't. Why can't you use banks that agree to follow rules you like and be monitored by people you trust while I can use banks that agree to follow rules I like and be monitored by people I trust?
What is the name of that IDisposable checking one? That sounds very, very useful.

> So I'm challenging your quote saying: "My neighbors have money". Do they really?

Obviously I can only see my tiny slice in the form of an 11 year old coming over to my house asking for snacks bringing along his toys. I don't know how much income the mom has.

But what I do know, is that they seem to run out of food near the end of each month, despite SNAP subsidizing food.

So while abstaining from buying iPhones, iPads, and cable TV and other toys will not pay the rent, buying mid/low-tier Android instead of premium Apple, cutting cable, scratch offs, cigarettes, and other toys from the annual budget could easily relieve other stressors of poverty, for example by stocking shelves with nutritious food that lasts through the whole month.
From my perspective I’d love to but from writing c# for nearly 20 years now it’s a rough ride for anyone trying to keep up with the platform. Knowledge is thrown in the trash faster than you can learn it and direction changes of all sorts jump on you. I’m not in for investing my time in that any longer.
Collaborators in Creation
Was going to mention this myself. Can recommend this book, it's great fun and you can indeed get through it in a weekend.
I'd pay a higher subscription price if Spotify could get me my podcasts without ads.
True. They’re protected up to £85,000 by the British Government instead.
Monzo is my main bank where my salary comes in, my purchases are made and my bills come out.

It works great and unless they start going South I wouldn't look back.
Ask HN: Would you tell your manager a teammate is interviewing elsehwere?
Simple as it sounds. If you found out a key team member was interviewing outside the company, and the loss would be devastating, would you mention it to your manager in hopes of being able to retain that team member?

How would you handle this?
That’s not correct either. The more accurate version (which is also still wrong) would be: “with distributed VCS, a subset of the entire code base, including history about a subset of changes might reside on a subset of the developers devices and other storage locations” (With a reminder that any set is a subset of itself)
The /r/personalfinance flowchart is actually the best summary I've seen on the priority on spending. Some comments I'd add:

* If you run out of money before getting to the employer retirement match, you are living beyond your means and you need to rectify that ASAP.

* Avoid credit card debt especially; the interest rates are not in your favor.

* If you're making tech sector salary, it's probably best to maximize Roth IRA early and hard--you're likely to hit the salary cap on Roth IRA before too long in your career ($120K is when the contribution is reduced; $137K is when it disappears entirely--although note that 401(k) contributions are excluded).

I think this was shared on HN without context.

This work was started by Joe Edelman, whose been a part of some of the efforts to help people working in different domains design things with less toxic/addictive aspects (e.g. tech, social networking companies). He arguably prototyped and called for action now being done from bigcos in their “digital wellbeing” and “screen time” efforts.

See http://nxhx.org , try reading some of his earlier essays.
Welcome to the real world. Besides, how many poor people are flying multiple times per year anyway? I don't have the numbers, but I would bet that this tax would be paid overwhelmingly by businesses on behalf of their employees who travel for work.
I‘m probably a bit biased because I use Slack a lot and when I‘m using Teams it‘s more because I‘m forced to.

The thing about threads is that they don‘t behave the same as in Slack. It‘s not that they are shown as a single entry inside the history (collapsed), rather they are responses which contain the original message in it. Of course, opinions differ and sometimes I think Slack threads confusing. But it‘s how I grep up and what I got to like.

I think that is also the one thing that makes Teams very bad (not in comparison, but in absolute terms): it tries to be a lot of things but does not really excel at something. For example, calls have amazing quality but it‘s just not possible to share more than 1 screen at the same time. So we still have to use TeamViewer to control anothers computer. Document integration feels a bit like Sharepoint and OneDrive, but it‘s really sonething in between.

In general, I think Teams biggest advantage is just the close integration into the whole Microsoft stack. That is something they can do quite well. I also think it‘s not something to boil down on Teams vs. Slack because they try to be something different even when they have similarities.
And where is the father?
Interesting I would say Monzo is by a mile.

Edit, I had a quick look at Google play downloads as a benchmark (Not great I know) but looks like you're right. Monzo is 1m~ Revolut is 5m~
Thank you for making me feel like I'm not taking crazy pills.

I share the parent's frustration in trying to keep my head wrapped around what all the different players are in the space. I tend to agree that the more I look into Nix, the less it really seems like it will actually take off. But it's utterly confused to segue from that to "Therefore, they must not be solving any problems we really have."

I'm always wondering when I read one of these posts what setup they must have to get work done. Seriously, what do most people do? How is it apparently so easy to share development environments between your co-workers in a manageable way? And if the answer is "each employee starts out with the same laptop baselined in the same way, and then they work on one project which is in a monorepo, whose system dependencies are already installed on the laptop, and those dependencies never change" then... hello? You don't see that this is not a solution? I fundamentally _do not_ understand how anybody can live in the world and not be annoyed by this. What do they do? WHAT DO THEY DO?!
Basic hygiene. Washing hands and yourself with hot water and soap. Not exchanging needles. Covering your mouth before sneezing. Tampons / pads, toilet tissue (although I prefer a faucet and doing a first pass with water. More hygienic and less tissue used. Also much better for the bottom)

Vaccines, anti-biopics and good hygiene and sanitary practices have doubled our average life span.

With a long life we’ve been able to achieve a lot more. Women have been more productive, we’ve created more wealth, have fewer children so each child has more resources and opportunities.

The state of US healthcare really makes me sad, but I’m hopeful we’ll keep on learning more about the human body and engineer more ways of fixing it and making us all live a longer, healthier, wealthier, happier life.
Alan Lomax-like folk & traditional arts programs (and actually sometimes Lomax himself IIRC) don't exactly scream coastal urban culuture. And I've never seen more arts grants looking for projects (nationally sourced, locally administered) than when I was living along the Wasatch Front, which is only coastal if big inland lakes count.

I'm sure the NEA does end up funding coastal urban culture because... a lot of people live in urban centers, maybe even an above average population of artists, so there's lots of art that happens in that context. And those of us who live in that context will probably see even more of it.

But even living in an urban center now, I see a lot of art that looks towards other places and times in the United States, and the people I know creating/practicing art do too. Where I've encountered elitism it's almost always adjacent to the private art market and/or certain historic treasures, and even in that context you will find people who fit the general rule that most of the arts-involved are some of the most open people I've met, as curious about shape note singing as conceptual art.

In fact, I suspect most of them would find your conception of art as culture war odd. It's possible that you're the one who needs to get outside any MOMA bubble and look around more.
On a related note, I find myself using Safari for its password management and Chrome for everything else because it’s so pleasant to use on mobile. They really nailed down the icons and animations (which doesn’t seem like it would be that important compared to other issues going on). You’d think privacy would be a major concern for me but when I observe my behavior honestly, it doesn’t seem to be that big of a factor.

The voice to text feature on Chrome is really useful too when you’re searching for something and don’t want to type it all out. Stunningly accurate. iOS has a built-in voice-to-text feature on their keyboard but it’s not as good.
We used to use "Managing your Money" and now we use Quicken for the most part. (that becomes more and more egregious given their changes).

We also live within our means which means managing future costs to the extent that we can/could. We paid off student loans, cars, and credit card debt. Then saved for a down payment and bought a house. We track 100% of the money coming in and the money going out and categorize it in as many ways as possible. This sounded pretty anal retentive to some friends of mine but they had to admit I knew exactly how much money I spent on food, mortgage, utilities, entertainment, etc each month. And that knowledge was usually enough to keep things from getting out of hand.

We targeted saving 10% of our income every year. Early on that was a more aspirational target, but by keeping our burn rate as constant as possible, with raises the target became achievable. We typically reserved 50% of any "bonus" or unexpected money for spending foolishly (well on things that aren't normally budgeted) and saved the other half. Once our savings reached a point where we had enough for emergencies we bifurcated into savings for us and savings for the kids college.

Then we started getting stock options or employee purchasable stock from our companies and used that to start a brokerage account (today I'd probably just put it in e-trade or something and go long on the S&P 500.) We were fortunate (really, its all about luck) to have chosen some good companies where the stock had some value. We diversified stock to fund the college fund.

We were always "behind" our peers in terms of new cars, or fancy vacations because we chose not to go into debt on such things once we could save up for them.

Looking back at it though it didn't really matter what program we used, what mattered were three things:

1) Keeping the discipline to track every dollar. This avoids "burn creep" where you start spending more and more and don't know it.

2) Always minimizing variability in costs (going from renting which was variable to a mortgage which was fixed, going from credit cards as cash flow (having a burn rate that is not always met by your cash flow means the occasional finance charge) to credit cards as payment device (once you have a reservoir of cash for overages you can always pay 100% of the balance every month)

3) Re-evaluating and adjusting costs every couple of years (new phone plan, swap out cable for satellite, sattelite for over the air, swap out ISP providers, magazine subscriptions, Insurance, etc. Any recurring cost from vendors in a competitive market has opportunities on about a 24 month schedule)

The only other thing is that we started pretty explicitly associating lifetime costs with bits of gear. (accounts call it depreciation) Basically saving $25 a month for "phone instrument" means that in 24 months you have a $600 to buy a new phone) Once you are keeping track of costs long enough and go through a replacement cycle or two you can get a pretty good feel for what things should cost)
Totally agree, a lot of people preaching just after reading books and blog posts and running a minimal hobby project. But I am not surprised.

Nothing is inherently bad, unless you use it for the wrong purpose.
It may also be that the EU banking system has customer tracking, the UK does not. N26 relies on customer tracking, so you can’t just withdrawal a large amount of money and disappear.

It is all brexit related, why can’t you see that? Why else would they suddenly pack up shop?

Unfortunately This is just the first to come.
It's the perennial Build vs. Buy debate.

The tradeoff of buying is that yes, you are at the will of the service provider, but the alternative is taking on all the technical debt of building your own services. For most, $N/month is cheaper than putting the maintenance hours in, even if it means needing to find another service provider if one is changing.
There's still some nuance that's important. If self-driving cars always sacrifice other road users to protect the driver, self driving cars could be reduce death/injury overall, but there's a question about whether or not this behavior is ethical. And if the training datasets consistently label cars but not other road users, then this bias could be baked in completely by accident.

It only needs to be better.

A Pedestrian likely has a different definition of "better" than the car driver.
Market selling that much Bitcoin in one place isn't quite possible right now, but you could do this in a day on Coinbase and get real dollars in your bank account. If you split it up and sold some on other exchanges like Kraken you could reduce the time required to sell it. You could also trade the BTC for other popular assets like ETH on exchanges without fiat markets then sell that off on exchanges that do.

CMC reports around $37B in global BTC volume right now, but the real figure is probably $2.5 - 3B, and of that it's fragmented in different fiat currencies with different restrictions on where those exchanges are able to send money. So while it's certainly not nothing and it's better than years ago, it's like a quarter of the average daily volume of shares in a single company like Apple.
> They are the worst-paying of the major music streaming services.

Per play, yes, not in total. But they compensate by getting artists a lot more plays than others.
Last time I was there I thought LV is like growing up in Germany I always thought the US was: pragmatic, over the top and innovative. Most of the US feels very stale and over the hill to me but it seems in Las Vegas people are still moving.

On the other hand: it’s pretty nuts to build such a city in the middle of the desert.
N26 has little on bunq though
that sign is legit.
if the ambient temperature is 117, the sunshine bouncing around in those canyons can get surface temps up to 130. add visitors that head out on desert hikes without any water... and it's trouble.
How Cars Work by Tom Newton

Auto Mechanics Fundamentals by Martin T. Stockel

Maybe?
Yeah, I wouldn't miss it neither! Just not for long term, unless you are one of the few exceptions.

Nice guy that referred you! Not everyone is that open, usually people learn it the hard way.
I track account balances once a month into a spreadsheet to keep a high-level overview. It's a manual process that takes ~15 minutes and has a large payoff to have a birds-eye view of all the finances and allocations.

Investments are all automatic: max 401k, max hsa, auto deposit to vanguard into a few indexes. If cash balance gets too high, I'll do a manual deposit.

My wife and I aren't big spenders so I have never found much value in micro-managing individual purchases or categorization (YNAB or mint). I do skim the transactions a couple times a month to make sure there aren't any surprises.

wrt paying off loans vs investing: lots of approaches here, the emotionless take is to just allocate based on interest rate. If your loans are low interest, then just pay the minimums and invest the rest. If they're higher interest than you expect your returns from investing to be, then just pay them off aggressively and don't invest at all until they're paid off (the exception here might be tax-advantaged accounts like 401k or IRA if you qualify).
Yeah I've seen the presentation thanks. I'm also not sure how their security stands today but theres no reason "mobile first" has to mean "bad security".
Your intuition should be that almost everything is incorrectly labelled. And even more so on a large scale sequential basis.

If you look at public datasets, it's more often that things are incorrectly tagged/labeled rather than correctly.

Entropy is a real thing.
TBH the neobank market in Brazil is kind of crowded and N26 doesn't have anything over those that started sooner.
Luckily I learned from a young age. When I was 7 or 8 I was using the computer my dad used to run his company. It had dual 3.5" floppy drives, and a new (to me) hard drive. Needing to format a floppy, I opened the format utility and for some reason I thought I should chose "hard disk" (because it wasn't floppy?!? hmm) when prompted.

So I format the "hard disk" and for some reason my 3.5" wasn't formatted. So I tried again and again to no avail and gave up.

The production manager came in to work Monday morning to a fresh hard drive. Some things were backed up and some things had to be recreated.

The outcome of this necessitated learning a new skill: bypassing passwords.
The problem that I observe at my work place is that the spaghetti has moved a level up. The "code" which sits inside individual microservices is mostly fine. However the topology of how those interact is a convoluted, intractable mess.
Agreed. I lived there for around a decade. About 2 years in I would have written something like this article. Soon though I just felt surrounded by malcontents. The Anthony Bourdain episode about LV was pretty accurate. It’s a town founded and populated with people who wanted to flee where ever they were to somewhere no one would ever visit them. There’s this really abusive undercurrent that would stem from that mindset being present in the population in mass numbers.

Consider the timeframe of this piece though. The towns been booming for about as long or longer.
Lambda School is 9 months full-time (40+ hours/week) and 18 months part-time (20+ hours/week).
Very helpful list. But it would be good to see a list that is organized around objectives than the current set of categories. Ultimately, one asks these questions to get a certain outcome or information. Starting from there would be better.
> The fact that opportunity is driven largely by networks, and that networks are typically class-gated

This is true, but what kind of opportunities are of vital importance for someone who is wealthy already and which of those can't they just buy into without networking? Or, to put it more plainly, you've got a nice house, your kids go to the best schools, your capital income provides you with a comfortable lifestyle, what "opportunities" are you lacking exactly?
My Amex Rewards card is translucent, got it last year.
> Lives at stake don't change anything here. The question is whether self-driving cars, even with the errors, are safer for people than regular drivers on average. If so, then absolutely yes everyone should bet their lives and their families'.

Maybe logically that makes sense but from an ethical perspective I argue it's much more complicated than that (e.g. the trolley problem)

In the current system if a human is at fault, they take the blame for the accident. If we decide to move to self driving cars that we know are far from perfect but statistically better than humans, who do we blame when an accident inevitably happens? Do we blame the manufacturer even though their system is operating within the limits they've advertised?

Or do we just say well, it's better than it used to be and it's no one's fault? When the systems become significantly better than humans, I can see this perhaps being a reasonable argument, but if it's just slightly better, I'm not sure people will be convinced.
I remember flying over Cuba a number of years ago and having the captain tell all the passengers to stow their cameras. Evidently it was part of the agreement that allowed the flight path to cross into their airspace.

On the other hand I had no problems getting some good but very distant pictures of Havana a year and a half ago when our cruise ship sailed past.
I like to keep things as simple (and profitable) as possible! I have a Roth IRA[1] and a taxable account[2] invested in leveraged risk parity strategies through M1 Finance[3]. I also have checking and savings accounts with Alliant Credit Union[4], both of which earn a pretty good amount of interest.

If you're looking for advice, I recommend reading through the wiki[5] over at /r/personalfinance and deciding what's best for your situation.

Monzo is much bigger in the UK, but less than Revolut outside
This is from my perspective as a person working in America. I absolutely would not tell: that’s your colleague’s private business and absolutely none of the manager’s. It also puts your colleague in a terrible position if his attempts fail.

If you believe that your colleague is that critical, discuss it with him directly and discreetly, and maybe make a point of evangelizing him to the management (but do so without tipping anyone off—shouldn’t be too hard if the colleague is that critical).
