There is a simple answer. Once you have bought a turtle necklace, you are identified as a "turtle necklace buyer" as opposed to any other general consumer. Unintuitive as it may be, you are far more likely to buy another turtle necklace than any of 330 million Americans picked at random. Hope that makes sense.
I think how devastating it is depends on whether the government will just step in to make things whole or not. Seriously the government could just tell payroll companies to cut checks as normal and put it on the treasuries dime. They could just declare debt holidays.

Probably means people and businesses in places like China will be mostly 'fine' and people in the US are going to get savaged.

That pulled up "Chapel" in my head and a couple of clicks later the net pulled this up:

"PGAS (Partitioned Global Address Space) programming models were originally designed to facilitate productive parallel programming at both the intra-node and inter-node levels in homogeneous parallel machines. However, there is a growing need to support accelerators, especially GPU accelerators, in heterogeneous nodes in a cluster. Among high-level PGAS programming languages, Chapel is well suited for this task due to its use of locales and domains to help abstract away low-level details of data and compute mappings for different compute nodes, as well as for different processing units (CPU vs. GPU) within a node. In this paper, we address some of the key limitations of past approaches on mapping Chapel on to GPUs ..."

It was an ad for Hack Reactor that I kept seeing on Reddit for a few days. I guess when they got a bunch of traffic to it from this post they removed it. "Make 6 Figure Salary in 12 Weeks" was the title. Such a scam.
> wonder if these non-Tesla manufacturers are getting pre-fab'd chipsets from the same place

That's exactly the case. The 'strains' I'm aware of are Subaru/Hitachi, MobilEye, NVIDIA, Bosch, Continental and there shouldn't be more than 3 other than these. Most car manufacturers buy one of these or pay one of them to install another of them, as a camera that speaks in steering angles. You'd notice a lot of those camera units look identical across brands.

I think yours is MobilEye(same as Tesla AP1).
In this scenario:

- This person likely could have drawn social security income, given that it's 2000 and SSI is not bankrupt.

- Ideally you have the funds you need to retire in the principal alone, and are only relying on very modest growth rate to fight inflation once you're actually withdrawing from it.

- You shouldn't be withdrawing retirement funds from an S&P 500 index fund investment. The funds should have been in a retirement income-focused fund or low-risk bonds, which would have helped maintain principal even in down years.

- Ideally your house is paid off, so you're not paying down a mortgage, and have significant equity in your home to draw from as a last resort.

I think a more realistic scenario is someone in their mid-50s who thought the numbers were working out in their favor to retire early, only for the market to crash, and now that is no longer looking like an option.
Yelling at people "wash your filthy hands" isn't authoritarian. Social opprobrium is how a free society regulates itself: it's the authority of your peers rather than the authority of superiors.

I was thinking the same.

Especially when working in a very regulated field. Who knows if ICHRA will last, maybe the next administration will scrap it. Kinda like how under Obama they had the individual mandate but Trump ended it. However some states have added an individual mandate for state residents since the federal one was eliminated, like MA, NJ, VT, CA, RI and DC. But there's still going through the courts as this whole individual mandate thing might have been unconstitutional in the first place, so those states might end up dropping them at some point again.

Plus I know there's SaaS apps to handle payroll and some of them integrate health care options. Seems like people don't like messing with this sort of stuff, will buy an option they think is safe and easy to handle and move on to their actual product unless they hired HR people with experience in this area who can be dedicated to managing this stuff. Seems like when it comes to some of these tasks of running a startup, you need some adult supervision. Might be a good programmer but all the ins and outs this and related stuff can be a huge distraction.

I guess since they had a background in HR and stuff doing a startup like this would be a bit easier than say me trying to do this...

Then another big thing even if you have insurance, who knows if you end up actually using it for anything if something won't be covered and then you get a big surprised bill. I feel like the whole in-network and out of network thing is the biggest scams. Say you looked on Google for the best Doctor, Dentist, specialist, etc and found one you liked you got to check the book they send you to see who's covered. Then another thing is a hospital can be in network, but someone like the anesthesiologist is out of network. Then remember seeing someone got charged $10 for an individually wrapped cough drop, when you could of just bought an entire bag at the local pharmacy.

So seem's like picking a plan out of some options sounds better though.

Also wonder since the advice with employees if someone quits, they say disable all accounts. Wonder if companies still have like a separate account for HR since don't some companies offer a web portal for insurance, probably also COBRA would be in that portal. However some companies this is all pen and paper but digitizing things something to think about... Like someone I know that worked at a factory, all this stuff was a packet you'd fill out with pen and paper and turn it in to someone in the office area. But I'd imagine tech companies would want to digitize a lot of this, and for remote teams that makes even more sense.
I'd suggest you make a spreadsheet with as many job postings on programming that are near you as you can find (this shouldn't take longer than an afternoon), and learn the most listed language if all you want is to get an entry-level job

if you want to get better and better, you should keep learning other languages (1 every 1 or 2 years should be good enough), knowing 1 language in every paradigm will get you to think about what is possible in other languages, and satisfaction of knowing something new :P

I personally would recommend Python + C to get something high level that can get you to be productive fast, and something that makes you understand that goes into making that at a lower level (without going as low as Assembly), and I think both are good options because they're pretty much here to stay (you might hear some say that you should focus on more modern stuff than C, but there's a pretty good reason it's still here, it works, and it is fast)

and then learning stuff that'll feel weird, LISP, and Prolog, (if you go with this suggestion, when you "finish", you should be 4~6 years in, so try to learn other stuff along the way, like SQL, shell scripting, fundamentals of files and processes, networking (how it works, not necessarily implementing it), software architecture, etc. but focus on what is interesting and useful to you)

All my medical colleagues kept saying this was bad. In the first cohorts of patients, 10-20% needed ICU level care. I have privy to the latest peer reviewed guidelines for medicine and had a double take when I read the initial complications: 19.6% Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS has a supportive type of treatment, which means that we give you all the basics for life and hope that you pull through. It's the last resort of care. It's only ~150 people, that statistics might be off. Then the cohort study came out that was looking at 44k patients. It lined up with the first cohort so close you could consider it a rounding error.

Folks, get mentally ready to know someone that will die because of this. Luckily, almost everyone in this thread will be alive, but those that have diabetes, cancer, coronary artery disease, and the elderly are the ones who will have poor outcomes because of it.

‘Prelude’ is the set of standard functions and types that you don't have to import to use. Python comes with a rich standard library, but most require imports to use.

> How many characters do you have to change if you want it purely in memory?

When the question is if ‘K can reduce line count by a factor 1000’, shorter keywords hardly cut it. ‘setdefault’ is wordier than ‘?’, but as something you're only going to use on occasion, so what? And d.setdefault(_, len(d)) is something you'll use maybe once a year.

shelve acts like a dict, so you can do the setdefault dance the same way on in-memory dicts.

> What's exactly the difference between the memory and emotion and the real sound of a telephone call?

When mixing a song, one of the many things to consider is, if a specific part is intended to blend in with other parts, effectively creating a merged sound vs. which parts are supposed to stand out. Since I use the telephone effect to make a part stand out a little extra, it becomes more important for it to be focused in a frequency range not already crowded with other parts. And therefore it’s less important if the highlighted frequency is a precise match to a telephone line.

> Do you have this kind of approach with other sounds as well?

Yes, very much so. For example in a very full pop or electronica mix with many parts, a grand piano track can overwhelm and muddy too many frequencies used by other instruments - for example the very low end (left side) of a good grand piano occupies the same frequencies as a bass guitar, upright bass or synth bass. So typically I would make the piano track be less prominent in the competing range, by lowering the EQ settings in that range. And I might increase the EQ settings for the frequency range where I want the piano track to me most obvious to the listener.

— There are fancier versions of that mixing technique via variable multi-band compression with side chaining, but that might go beyond the interest level of the HN audience and take this thread too far off-topic :-)
The one takeaway I learned from 2007 is to buy puts when I feel like there is going to be a recession. It may just give me enough money to last a year or two if I lose my job.

Starting last week, I bought a put (just 1) in Chipotle (No particular reason, I just picked a random one) for 2000.

Its the one bet I hope I lose money on, but so far my position (2k investment) have grown to over 6k. (300% increase).

Its sad money because when the market goes down, my RSUs are dropping significantly more. The put are there to make sure if I lose my job and my RSUs, my put position will generate enough profits to last me 2 years without work. I only need 24k to get by / year.

Just wanted to put this out there in case someone else out there has alot of RSUs that are stuck and wanted to buy some positions to make some money in case of a recession.
Mattresses have a bit of a different issue, in the sense that mattress stores have a (potentially exaggerated) reputation for being of ill repute (e.g. money laundering fronts) and having somewhat scummy sales tactics along the same lines as automotive dealerships (where Tesla, incidentally, would be an example of the "direct to consumer" approach).

The problem with DTC mattresses specifically (and DTC cars, for that matter) is the logistical hell on Earth that is actually getting that product "direct to consumer" (the products themselves are pretty huge and heavy), the higher pricetags (a mattress or a car is considerably more expensive than even a pair of eyeglasses, let alone razors or soap), the inability to reasonably handle returns or repairs, and the inability to "try before you buy" like you can in a brick and mortar store or a dealership.

Tesla worked around some of these problems by having actual physical storefronts/showrooms and service centers (which in turn caused issues in states like Texas that disallow auto manufacturers from owning/operating their own dealerships). The only DTC mattress company I know of that has physical storefronts (at least where I live) is Sleep Number, and it's one of the incumbents.

I am a Chinese living in Bay Area. What's described by the Italian doctor was exactly like the situation in Wuhan right after the lockdown for the first 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, I think it will hit Italy harder this time, China locked down Wuhan but every other provinces send in supplies and doctors to help, just building new hospitals is not enough, and I don't see France/Germany doing the same to Italy. The US response so far feels very much like what I saw early Jan in China, the government kept assuring the public everything is in control and risk is very low. One could argue it's either cover up or they simply didn't know, I think it's a combination of both. But I really cannot understand why US is handling it this way after seeing what happened in Wuhan and now Italy, it almost feels like Trump has some secret weapons ready to save the day. You would think that, since most of the leaders are in a high risk demographic and spend large chunk of their time shaking hands with strangers, they would be more vigilant

This is the part you don't understand. There is a difference between digging ten one-foot deep holes vs one ten-foot deep hole. People need time to plan how to coordinate and then get on the same page so that everyone can work at their own pace. That is the part that is not parallelizable and is the rate-determining step.

I understand your point, but I think VC backed companies are likely in a more hyper growth mindset than banks and conservative industries were when they were making these systems in the 80’s.

As much flak as I’ll get for saying this, why Python? It seems like Robinhood went all in on an ecosystem that is easy to get an MVP off of the ground with, but certainly not as fast and reliable as you would expect a system moving billions everyday. Language typically doesn’t matter for end users, but man, there are at least 10 solid options to build a critical trading system in that are faster and safer than Python.
Anyone in a high tax bracket will likely come out ahead on an HSA/HDHP (high-deductible plan). We’ve had some “big” years in terms of medical expenses and I’m confident we’re still ahead with the fully funded HSA account.

The key is you don’t pay for healthcare expenses with the HSA, but instead pay with after-tax funds and save the receipts. Later (many years later), you can take out the HSA money and spend it in retirement tax-free (up to the cumulative amount of medical receipts you’ve paid and accumulated).

Used this way, it’s a retirement account (one with hands-down the best tax treatment), not a health care savings/spending account. To get it you have to have a HDHP and cover the expenses along the way.
