No one except the super rich just have a pool of savings that they are going to retire on; for normal people the amount you need to be putting away right now depends on the amount you are going to put away in the future.

Let's say you are in your 50s, have a nice upper middle class job that you spent a few decades becoming qualified for. You are putting away a reasonable fraction of your income such that you can live comfortably now and retire in 10 years. Then the economy collapses, you lose this high paying job and there are no comparable positions available. You are unemployed for a few months and then under-employed working retail at target. You still have all the expenses of an upper middle class lifestyle, but with a salary maybe a bit above minimum wage. You can tighten your belt a bit but a lot of those expenses like your mortgage still need to be paid. Selling off investment assets despite the poor market and reducing the amount of money you put away for retirement is likely your only reasonable option to maintain your current standard of living.

The stock market rebounded quickly, but people were still underemployed and had burned through a lot of their savings to stay afloat, so they didn't have the funds to buy back into the market, certainly not to the level they were prior to the crisis. Retirement is inherently a measure of savings, anything that makes you eat into savings will push back the earliest date you could have retired. Saying they simply didn't have enough money is like a doctor saying you just aren't immune enough to symptoms: maybe not incorrect but a thoroughly useless diagnosis.
I said "in general".
If it’s world-writable, then is it really a break-in?
This is something that should be taught to folks while they're still in school. The "blueprint analogy" has baked in the idea that there's a "design phase" and a "construction phase" and that these are often discreet parties.

Nothing could be more incorrect when it comes to software. In software, the design is the code. The compiler/interpreter are the construction of the system.
Irrelevant. It's how far the spikes go above normal per-capita that matters, which is why each chart has a different Y axis that fits that particular country.

The pictured charts clearly show Sweden and the US seeing substantially more deaths than normal, while Finland and Norway stayed at roughly their normal rates.
I think it depends on what you think an academic degree gets you.

If you are looking for education, it may be worth it.

If you are looking for the signal to employers, it may be worth it as long as they don’t water down the reputation by admitting more students and employers don’t devalue it for being online.

If you are looking for connections, networking, and resume building opportunities, then it is definitely not worth it.

My problem is that the benefits I got from university were nearly all in the two latter areas.
Yeah sorry I am not creating accounts to break the rules.

I simply don't understand you. In my opinion what I wrote was neither a personal attack (I called his argument ridiculous, not him - and I was referring to his notion that it might not be OK for black people to use HN), nor an ideological battle. While the topic is an ideological battleground, which has a real effect on the tech industry, my stance in this particular discussion would be that people simply should be allowed to work without having to be involved in such culture wars (I also did not create that website unwoke.hr, I only posted it to HN). If he wants to be "woke" and do activism and so on, I have nothing against it, at least not in the context of this discussion. I just don't want to be affected by it. I don't want to talk him out of it or anything - so where exactly is your problem?

I don't see the point of you banning my account for a discussion in a thread that has already been flagged. Obviously only people who want it would see the further discussion.

I'm really not sure what you would consider an appropriate discussion of the topic? Obviously it is ideologically charged, but it IS a job board for the tech industry, and it is a subject that affects many who work in tech.

Ironic that you banned me, because I had just been wondering that for all its flaws, at least HN is open to access for everybody. You can create an account in minutes, and there are no profile pics (so less danger of racism, for example). Except apparently not. (Also while it is quick to create accounts, I suppose you have automatic filters in place, so in effect it is not free for everyone. But still - it could have been a refuge from the totalitarian social networks).
In the physical world (think "breaking and entering"), any amount of force (e.g. Pushing an already partially open door) counts as "breaking".

It isn't necessary to actually "break" anything.

Edit: Of course, it's still not a great metaphor because it implies there was at least some kind of barrier to entry that had to be pushed aside - but from the sounds of it, there wasn't.
There is a bug that is caused directly by this whitespace hack. If you copy two lines of text and paste it to one cell, it displays as two cells and shifts the column content below the affected cell (if the affected cell is in the viewport)
Unpopular opinion: while I don't oppose the existence of non-moderated social networks in the sense that I'd want them extinguished overtly, I'm not deeply convinced they're good, especially in this decade.

gab.ai gave breathing room for a man to be so radicalized by surrounding himself with anti-Jewish conspiracy that he murdered people at a synagogue. 4chan is a notorious breeding ground of terrible memetic hazards (including, notably, QAnon).

I don't guarantee Fediverse will end up the same, but the alternative services seem to collect mostly fringers who got kicked off of mainstream services with cause, and that's not a group I intend to support with my time and engineering labor. When I see a new social media site pop up, the first question I have is "What stops it from being the next gab.ai?"
"As a result of the breach, all user permissions were reset, making all profiles visible to all users. This was the case for approximately 3 hours.

... No user data was downloaded or compromised."

I find the second statement hard to swallow.
S3 security is a pain. S3 options are tricky to master, docs are beyond confusing.

A common S3 use case is: Use a Bucket for Read-only static content, (js, html, imgs). From a dev perspective ideally it will work like a protected folder + Web Server, whereas the webserver will have read-only privileges, but reality is far more complicated.

I can understand why was easy for Twillio to have this infosec issue, since we've done it ourselves many times when using S3.
well, that doesn't tell anything.
Yes I did watch the video, and yes I agree it would be fairly useless for bike locks. Though there is a very expensive bike lock that has an aluminium surround the try to foil small angle grinders (the idea is that it is too thick for the discs to get through). Would be useful for that.
I have seen math books that have "tables of notation", with a list of all the notations and where they're defined in the text. That helps. (Also, I suspect that the sort of author who would include such a thing is one that's thinking more carefully about notation.)

The openness of Windows is why it’s not suitable for school environments or even many professional environments. ChromeOS is hard to break, and even if you did, it’s a 5 minute process to restore it to a workable state.

With that said, I hope that future tinkerers find a way to get their hands on Windows or Mac computers at home or in computer literacy labs.
> It fails completely for large classes.

Large in-person classes you don't even have discussions. Some universities have lecture halls of 400-600 students, and you have to go ask a TA for help later in the week

> That's not dissimilar to the situation before the plague.

So I think you agree and are saying that it's the same?
Collage in general has never been about education. Collage is about getting a stamp on your head saying that you have been to collage. Meaning that you spend years learning a bunch of stuff and you didn't do stop shit to kicked out.

I guess for engineering where there is significant equipment necessary this doesn't hold.

But the majority of collage is pointless, all the knowledge you need is available outside of collage but then nobody can verify that you actually learned it.

This book is pretty hard hitting but it provides a lot of solid analysis about what the problem is:

> I am an actual vodka drinker and disagree

Your opinion is irrelevant unless you were one of the judges in the many spirit competitions where grey goose was ranked one of the worst vodkas. It has literally never won a blind tasting competition, unlike Smirnoff and Tito's which win very consistently.
But that isn’t the part I suspect they faked.

I suspect they didn’t actually build a battery powered truck, not even a prototype or demo.

Instead they just bolted a big electric motor into an existing truck, rigged it up to the crankshaft, and wired it up to power. Lame, if true. But it’s just my suspicion and I don’t know if it’s true. It was clearly a PR stunt timed to take some of the limelight away from Tesla.
> All of this suggests a tantalising alternative to both the medical professional’s and the layperson’s view of therapy: that what happens between client and therapist goes beyond mere talking, and goes deeper than clinical treatment. The relationship is both greater and more primal, and it compares with the developmental strides that play out between mother and baby, and that help to turn a diapered mess into a normal, healthy person.

Oh man, pop culture is rediscovering the use of psychoanalysis, finally! Transference is so important!

> I am referring to attachment.

Oh. God dammit.

Can't escape the vortex of "science", leading to the massive fragmentation of psychological frameworks, destroying the field's credibility.
It's a bit of a tough read for outsiders (which I am), but with some basic understanding of the brain and a few lookups I think the paper is actually pretty readable in the end, so I'm attempting a quick explanation.

There's a lot of interesting stuff to read about Connectomes[0] on wikipedia if you're curious about the mapping thing. I don't think they have an actual network map there, but in the initial pages of the paper they describe using MRI measurements to assess 200 areas they split the brain into ("normalized to 200 voxels per brain"), and they test their MRI methods by re-creating two tangentially related measurements which attach importance to geometric constraints of the brain.

They mention: "Note that, as tractography does not actually measure axons but rather axonal bundles and fascicles, our length estimate reflects the wiring length of the macro-scale network."
So it's more akin to getting a mapping of Earths (as in, each animal is one) and splitting it into 200 voxels, then looking at the density of fiber optic cables laid out, for many types of "Earths". So they don't see each strand but the bundles, which could mean that they don't know how much "data" actually goes through but they do know what bundles go where, which is more the point of connectivity.

Then they go on to notice that there's overall little change of density across the measurements (40% maximum over 4 orders of magnitude of volumes) even though there are different structures (some might have only one one dominating continent while others have two, for example), and that within each "family" of measurements there's consistency in measured density across their samples.

They also mention: "Results suggest that intra-hemispheric connectivity compensates for poorer inter-hemispheric connectivity, maintaining the overall connectivity."
Which I think is something that at least from a functional standpoint has started to be looked at for humans (in studies like this[1]) but I don't know if any other study has done such an analysis as systematically as these guys, and I don't think ANY other study has done so across so many species and orders of magnitude of brain volumes.

(I am happy to be corrected by any actually-knowledgeable person passing by, if they are so kind as to strike down any mistake)

Hi Adam. I just created this account because your experience mirrors mine - in that i too have been dealing with Post Exertional Malaise for years - and the connection you just made to "negative self talk and ignorance" is extremely interesting to me.

PEM is a rather obscure syndrome which no doctor i have met really understands, also i like you don't really have most of the "other CFS symptoms".

Basically it's an incredibly debilitating post "exertion effect" that means that every time you try to "better yourself", workout, get work done, etc. you end up crashing hard instead of feeling like "yeah i made it, now i can relax!" - you instead feel both mentally and physically like you are on the brink of death, often for days for no reason - it feels so incredibly "unfair". You could have just been promoted, got a raise, finished a marathon, doesn't matter, you feel like you are crashing from a drug bender.

Until now i have been thinking that it's either some cell level or genetic deficiency, OR that it's actually a form of burnout, ie. the way "out of the PEM prison" is through total relaxation, weaning of coffee, stopping hard workouts etc - but i have "often" tried this to little effect - what i haven't tried though is going to therapy for a "longer stretch" and your post just made me realise something: "Maybe i too am too hard on myself" - why this form of neurosis would lead to Post Exertional Mailaise i don't really know, but damn i am so happy to have found someone who's had experienced the same thing.

Anyways - i just wan't to say thank you so much for writing this, and if you or anyone else have any leads to books, forums or podcasts about this issue, i would be
so happy.
I think a real time ranking system for students at a university that is visible by all is just going to be targeted for greedy or ambitious people looking to convert it into jobs or money.
If I am in the top 10 percent of the rankings in Rocket League sure I can make a few grand streaming, but if I am in the top 10 percent of rankings at a school I can get a better job than the rest. What are the bottom 90 percent's motivation for helping people improve at that point?

If the old native apps were the gold standard, modern distribution wasn't part of that. If we include modern distribution, then all the supposed advantages you cite for browsers "winning" apply just as well to native apps. And yet.

> Stores don't change what a native application can or cannot do.

and yet all those stores provide licensing control (and DRM), analytics, and subscription mechanics, often unavoidably (Apple) or unavoidably in practice (Google and until very recently, Steam).
"yes, there's a search for 5 components"

Well then
Precisely! Which is why I think the intent is good, keep people driven, but the method, not giving people the basics to live, is not good.

Santa Monica's Quantgene Uses Big Data to Solve the Cancer Riddle
Obviously just one anecdote, but my brother has a PhD in philosophy from Oxford and now teaches philosophy (albeit at a small college, not one of the major ones). Wittgenstein is one of his three big philosophy heroes (the others being Thomas Aquinas and a medieval Islamic scholar that I can't remember the name of).

Academic fashions are weird though.
That example works well because you don't have to do V * V. You can do XVI * VI = (X + V + I) * (V + I) = (XV) + (XI) + (VV) + (VI) + (IV) + (II) = L + X + XXV + V + V + I = LXXXVVVI = LXXXXVI, which "simplifies" to XCVI, but it's already a good bit messier.
As prognostications go, "The mainstream media will find my nonsense so aggressively hateful that they'll kick it off the site" is right up there with "It'll be cold in winter."

Especially when Q controls the level of the aggressive hate in the nonsense.
I really want to love timescaledb, it's great.. except for the minor issue of not being able to back up.

Indeed. I remember running Playstation games on a Pentium 166Mhz with 64Mb of RAM via Bleem. If one is dedicated and willing to sacrifice compatibility, emulators can achieve some amazing things with paltry resources.
Is it really a pain though? Maybe because I’ve been working with it since the beginning. Bucket ACL with NO permissions, then manage all permissions on an IAM role on the account.

If it’s cross account then allow assuming to other accounts, but no reason to bother with the bucket ACL.

Leave the bucket policy blank and you’ll never have to worry about an open bucket. Better yet make a deny rule to everything but a single role, and you don’t have to worry about rogue roles exposing the bucket.

Perhaps some of the issue is that permission can be managed on both IAM and a bucket policy?
Meta: whilst the title itself is a standard, neutral way for a political news site like TheHill to report a government's decisions, this is one case where editing the title for HN submission might help focus the discussion on the quantum computing initiative rather than the Trump administration.

The emphasis on trade offs is the most important part for me, because it formalizes the search for alternative approaches. In the majority of my design docs, I end up swapping an “alternative” into the doc itself as I find myself more convinced by the alternative solution.

There was a campaign on Twitter recently, people encouraging each other to post Scott Alexander's full name, because "if all the hundreds of people who know his real last name just started saying it we could put an end to this ridiculous farce".

They don’t know at onset if a company deserves that much money. $25k is enough to see what people can accomplish in 3 months - maybe they take less equity. Most companies either have wrong leaders, wrong market, wrong skills, wrong business ideas but big dreams. That amount is enough to filter through the above.
