My issue with this (and largely with the arguments that the market is up because money is cycling into bigger businesses) is that the collapse of small businesses is going to create substantial economic pain that's going to really hurt the large businesses - maybe not in the very long run, but certainly in the medium term.

People are going to lose jobs, only some of which will be replaced by big companies (since they're inherently better at scaling people's work as well as automating jobs), so we're going to be stuck with a bunch of unemployment. Unemployment and the economic uncertainty that comes with it will cause a substantial drop in consumer discretionary spending, which I believe makes up like 70% of spending in the economy.

If you're Amazon, maybe that's fine because to your point, if the pie shrinks significantly but their share of it goes up enormously, they may still benefit even in the short term. But what about Apple, which is hitting new highs? People need to buy stuff, and since Amazon has everything, even if the type of stuff they're buying changes, they'll still go there. But they can (and I suspect very much will) put off buying new high end luxury devices like iPhones/iPads/Macs. Similarly, businesses that would be buying those devices will probably lengthen their upgrade cycles as well.

Same story with Facebook - stock is doing great, but small businesses represent a significant portion of their income. Plus a huge amount of the advertising is for consumer discretionary stuff, and it's a very easy kind of advertising to dial back quickly when marketing dollars go down.
Is your point that there's only one (FJCVTZS) ?
Two reasons: it was targeted as an embeddable application extension language (kinda like Python); and, thanks to Tk, it was a relatively easy way to make passable GUI interfaces on Unixes.

(There was also a very brief attempt early in the Web to use Tcl for Web development, as an arguably superior alternative to then-popular things like Perl CGI, but that didn't take over.)

What people should've been using for embeddable extension languages is a Scheme implementation, which, besides other merits, wasn't crippled by an evaluation model based on string expansion. I was in charge of one such extension language for a system that cost 5 figures a seat, and Tcl's string evaluation wasn't that up to representing objects and graph references well. (At the time, extension languages of major applications were often some simple/custom Lisp.)

Tcl was pretty neat, in how much more clever it was about some kinds of string evaluation than Unix shells, but a Scheme would've still been a better choice.

This happens to me regularly. Any time we have a long-running project, or I end up on something with a lot of sucky work for a while, I feel at least modernly burned out at the end.

There have been other times in my career where I was a lot more than moderately burned out.

And all of this while working basically 9-5 my career. Never 100 hour weeks.

For me, the minimum is to take some time off. Get away from the drudgery and have some time to think about other things.

If it's bigger than just a need for a vacation, I'd echo the other comments here to try to find someone to talk to about it. Have someone talk through it with you, especially without having an agenda, can be extraordinarily helpful.
Families these days can still do it but they don’t because they are led to believe in paying for convenience and get into a cycle that turns everything in their life into something the market provides. The insidious thing is that once you get into debt it is very difficult to break this cycle.

There is a pretty clear difference, to me, between saying "this practice is obviously wrong, but technically legal--and we should work to change that," and lauding the company's actions as "good accounting," scolding people for confusing the act of successfully evading paying taxes with "tax evasion" as though this particular bit of legal jargon were shedding light on anything for non-accountants, and carrying water for companies that are not mere passive actors who benefit from a bizarre tax code with inexplicable but convenient loopholes, but rather actively lobby for tax laws to be changed to benefit them (something I, as an individual without billions of dollars to my name, could not effectively do even if I wanted to).

Hmm .. I moved to management and have to disagree with you. It is a shit ton of work dealing with so many people, projects, technologies, etc. It feels not worth it from a dollar perspective or a sanity perspective. To summarize, burn-out is a very real danger for managers and founders. I know of some founders who made it big .. in their early days, we'd joke about back-up plans when it all crumbles. To give an example of someone I don't know directly .. even Elon Musk had a backup to move into his wife's parent's basement when his company collapsed (per my recollection, this is in the Ashley Vance book). Speaking of Elon again, it seemed he did burn out post paypal .. his send a rocket to Mars seemed like a crazy idea to get him motivated again.
Complete agreement about the hopeless environment. My point was that the enculturation works extremely reliably. I have not met a single student who questioned or rejected the culture. It is dejecting, and you despise the kids for that.

These posts always seem to focus on Bitcoin which of course is easy to dismiss and isn't likely to make any major changes anytime soon. If you want to talk about a financial network and something end users would actually use then articles should focus on something like Ethereum which does support decentralized finance applications and has easy to use interfaces such as Argent that normal people can use without technical knowledge.

>Crazy price gyrations are far too wicked for the regular money-using public to tolerate

This is what stablecoins such as DAI and USDC are for. People will use stablecoins for their everyday lives as it's built for being a medium of exchange.

>It's too awkward for most people

This is still true to an extent but most people would have no problem using Argent.

Average people need easy to use savings accounts. Easy ways to save and invest their money for the future. One click ways to purchase products. These can't happen on Bitcoin but they already exist on Ethereum and DeFi. All possible in a trustless way.

There's a lot of development happening on web3 right now but if you focus entirely on Bitcoin you will miss the important parts of what make this space interesting.

Just to add a bit of history, SecDB itself was an acquisition from J Aron, a commodity trading shop in the early 90s.

It was ubiquitous in GS by the mid-2000s, and was rather instrumental to GS navigating the crisis in 2008.

Being able to accurately and quickly compute risks across the entire firm's books, rather than manually merging across separate systems was key advantage, which encouraged JP, Citi and BofA to build a SecDB clone themselves.

This is very true. I know families where one parent stays home and others where both parents work. What surprised me is that there is no correlation between household income and whether or not one parent stays home (at least not in my admittedly small sample).
VW is the company with the third largest R&D budget, after Amazon and almost tied with Alphabet. More than ten times larger than Tesla.

Over recent years they built a substantial tech base for EVs that they are on the brink of introducing at scale. The Zwickau plant alone is planned to scale to 330000 EVs/y next year. ICE production at Zwickau is shut down.

This is diametrically opposed to, for example, BMW who seem to be more doubling down on ICE with token efforts towards EVs for now. It's not insane to say that Tesla will eat BMWs share of the future, but that is valued ten times lower.

Wow the old "bitcoin is an energy hog" argument. (kidding)

Terrible jokes aside, I like this take, but from the standpoint that Bitcoin is a "primitive", almost analogue type technology. But it demonstrates clear innovations over the old existing "normal" payment systems. So the conclusion, in my opinion, that Bitcoin is only for hobbyists in extreme circumstances, includes a fallacy, and one piece of evidence is the increased efficiency in using Bitcoin for intl settlement / remittance.

But Bitcoin is not the end-all of cryptocurrencies. It has flaws and its iteration is relatively frozen.

We need a sound settlement layer first and that settlement layer will need to obtain some degree of generalization in programmability.
You should post this as a Show HN when you're ready. I think the community here would be interested to discuss it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html and the tips at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638.

Yeah, there's a bunch of caveats here. You also need to be reasonably quick to understand things, otherwise you'll be spending a lifetime trying to understand some pretty basic concepts and never get to anything interesting.

> They should use $30b in stock to acquire Ford. Keep Ford as a separate operating entity.

Horrifyingly terrible idea in so many ways it almost plow my mind.

Many legacy production sites that don't make much sense, with massive political entanglement and maybe even worse union labor contracts.

A balance sheet full of leases for cars that will collapse in value.

A product portfolio that has few profitable products and non that are gone be profitable in 5 to 10 years.

The massive amount of dealers you would have that have no intensive at selling EVs.

> Use Tesla's tech and rapidly turn Ford into a 100% electric manufacturer.

So basically throw everything away Ford is currently good at and replace it with thing Tesla is already good at?

You need to completely redesign product to make them full EV, you can't just plot a bunch of batteries in a Ford truck and sell them.

> crap the ridiculous, impractical Cybertruck (which will flop after it initially sells well, the novelty will quickly wear off)

Nonsense statement based on your own priors. It has more re-orders then anything and has an incredible price. If you are a contractor the operation cost will be unbeatable. If you are an off-roader the power and clearance will be unbeatable. If your a life-style drive you have something that is more unique then other trucks.

In terms of practicality it better then any other truck. The only thing I heard as a counter argument is that, it is not so easy to load from the side.

> focus on electrifying Ford's very lucrative truck lineup

So just buy Ford so you can call your truck an F150? Those trucks all look the same, Tesla could just make a truck that basically looks the same.

You taking an a huge amount of assets that are quickly losing value, just to get a bunch of production legacy facilities that you have to convert to EV anyway.

Building new clean sheet production facilities without unions in strategic locations design for full vertical integration is a much better investment.

Ham radio is heavily regulated and (as a ham with an AE license) mostly occupied by clueless boomers.

Bitcoin is unregulated and mostly occupied by smart young hackers.

In every practical way that I can think of, Bitcoin is more like the early internet.

I don’t think anyone has any illusions than random tech-illiterate people will be managing their own private keys, just like random tech-illiterate people don’t host their own servers or set up their own firewalls. If bitcoin has a place in the future, it will probably be as infrastructural technology that is mostly abstracted away for normal users. The important thing is that advanced users have the option to plug directly into the underlying system, if they want to.

The West has 100% done more "evil" if we're going by "oppression olympics". One can simply look at the violence exported by the respective groups. Also keep in mind how often America lies and sends agents to destabilize China (I'm sure vice-versa is also true yet Americans choose to blame Russians instead? Not sure why.). Now, I do not believe that is a fruitful or meaningful argument to have but your argument seems to come from a place of American exceptionalism over weighing both sides.
> Then, I negotiated a 4 day work week, at a 20% pay cut

If I understand correctly, it sounds like your platform is primarily intended for improving awareness and understanding of the data a team has, so they know which features to focus on and emphasize.

I would hope that for consistency, Illich on principle refused to take treatment from Germany's health care system, populated by medical professionals who are the product of the

There is a lot to be critiqued with the way that medicine and education are practiced and paid for, but to enjoy the benefits of both, while laying fault at the feet of institutionalized medicine and education while ignoring the context both operate borders on hypocrisy.

> He proposed on Twitter to make bulk discounting illegal for the entire US economy, on the theory that any kind of discounting is just predatory pricing.

Is this a real thing? I follow Stoller on Twitter, and have never heard him say anything like that. Just that predatory pricing is often snuck in under the guise of "discounting" (which is true).

He's definitely a centrist on economic policy, which turns a lot of people away (most Americans have never heard of a centrist view of any policy of any kind, and most Americans are far more conservative than they'd ever actually admit to). But nothing about him seems ideologue-ish, and he's certainly not anywhere near left-wing on economic policy.

> Yuri Bezmenov was also a nobody who instantly became a darling of the American far-right. The interview you're referring to is by the Alex Jones-like conspiracy nut G. Edward Griffin. Bezmenov became "famous" by reinforcing every far-right fear of "communist indoctrination" in American society.

You're engaging in weak thinking known as "guilt by association". Whatever merit the rest of your statements have, it's totally irrelevant whether the "far-right" likes Bezmenov or if the person who interviewed him was a "conspiracy theorist". It's weak because it says nothing about Bezmenov himself, and at worst it is an attempt to shut down any counter argument. (association to the "far-right" and "conspiracy theorist" are common tactics to shut down arguments)

This happens to me from time to time as well, not in this particular case. I think it's related to the fact that my mind has created a certain context, and I don't read with full attention. I will regularly skip over words unintentionally and "fill in the blanks".

Sometimes I think this is an artifact of occasionally looking at groups of words as a single term. If I read each word deliberately, I don't encounter this problem.

Is Musk really an asshole? The stories I've heard about Jobs show that he was abusive and manipulative. Maybe I'm out of the loop but I haven't heard such stories about Musk. He's said some dumb things that seemed uncalled for on Twitter, but everyone makes mistakes, and if he really believed them when he said them then that doesn't make him an asshole. And firing someone over something seemingly small is not asshole behavior, that's just taking charge, who knows what lays behind a decision like that.

Are there any examples of Musk doing something mean for selfish reasons?
