There's a difference between insurance and cross subsidies.

Insurance is basically a bet. If I have deep enough pockets and some actuary tables, I can write you a single insurance policy. And I can expect to make money of that single policy on average. (But in the specifics, I might have to pay out.) No need for a group that cross subsidizes each other.
My company (in Norway, so not FAANG) shipped all their office stuff to us. So before the first week of WFH was over I had gotten my chair, desk, screen, keyboard etc all set up at home.

But if these things last longtime or become permanent, I think people will start reconsider where they live. For instance, we could need an extra room for a proper office.

I'm not far away from a working "real time" [1] voice conversion (VC) system. This turns a source voice into a target voice. The most difficult part is getting it to generalize to new, unheard speakers. I haven't recorded my progress recently, but here are some old rudimentary results that make my voice sound slightly like Trump [2]. If you know what my voice sounds like and you kind of squint at it a little, the results are pretty neat. I'll try to publish newer stuff soon, and that all sounds much better.

I was just about to submit all of this to HN (on "new").

Edit: well, my post [3] didn't make it (it fell to the second page of new). But I'll be happy to answer questions here.

The problem is that I've done that before. I took a year off not working at all, just traveled and fucked around, and then got my current job. Also my partner is great and I have no kids or really any problems at all in home life. I've only lasted at my current job for a year (already gave notice). Granted my current job is very similar to my last one - maybe that's the problem.

I'm currently saving about half of what I make. Finances will be easier when I'm not the only one with an income and my partner is days away from a very probable job offer.

I'm wanting to transition to project management and eventually product management. Product management can pay pretty well ($150k+) once you're established. I can afford to not really save much for 5 years until I'm back into six figure income.
Fair, but I don't think you've added much to the thread here.

> fewer restrictions on who can immigrate

That's just laughably wrong. In fact the US issues near-zero green cards for the jobs immigrants are actually doing, and not near enough for the "prestige" employees we claim we want.

> What more can America do?

Fix its regulatory setup so that the immigrants arriving to do real work are doing it legally, like everyone else in the world does.

> ah yes. the tax exception for a church means churches don't pay taxes by default. i like that circular logic. just like women not being able to vote for hundreds of years - they shouldn't vote now.

That's not the argument I'm making. I'm arguing that the onus is on you to persuade, not that the status quo is inherently superior by virtue of being the status quo. I was very clear about this.

> your claim was that I needed to prove my point that churches should not pay taxes. i said the claim is invalid, because taxes are paid by default, by everyone, unless an exception is granted.

The exception has been granted and is well-entrenched in precedent. You can disagree all you want and demand that someone needs to make an argument that persuades you; nevertheless, the law protects churches and you don't agree with it, so you must be mistaken about the burden of persuasion.

> my position is not a "challenger." rules and laws are not written in stone as the word of god you pretend the bible is. they need to be reexamined frequently, and someone granted a tax exemption needs to prove again why that exception is still valid.

The law prohibits taxation of churches, and your position is that we should change the law, ergo it's (by definition) the challenger (the status quo being the incumbent). No one here is claiming laws are written in stone; our disagreement appears to be whether or not changing the laws requires a persuasive argument, and here you are mistaken. Specifically you're mistaken that churches are legally obligated to reprove the validity of their tax exemption--you may wish that churches were so obligated, but they aren't, and if you insist there is such a legal obligation, it's incumbent upon you to furnish evidence to support your claim.

Anyway, this conversation has diverged from an interesting subject to litigating burden of persuasion which is well established and obvious. I'm not interested in debating the obvious unless there's some evidence that can call into question its obviousness. If we can't agree on obvious matters, I don't think this conversation is likely to enlighten, so I bid you adieu.

You're drawing a false dichotomy.

You can both be effective and build rapport with people. It's both/and, not either/or.

In fact, building a rapport is actually an important part of being effective. Esprit de corps is a real thing (and a military concept, to boot), and you do not get it by treating people like robots.

However, you can't hack being kind and attentive. It only provides stat boosts if pursued as its own intrinsic good. Humans are really good at detecting false fronts - only world-class manipulators can consistently fool people into believing they're cared for.

Given all that, an effective analyst like Buffett will understand that he should look for people who are effective and personable. They're out there, and they're better economic bets than the ones who hobble themselves by pretending emotions, kindness, and taking an interest in others for their own sake are irrelevant (I hobbled myself this way for years).
In this area the water seems like the least renewable resource / more of a short term concern:

“So much water is now being used that ground water levels in Helmand are estimated to be falling by 3m a year.

The fear is that pretty soon the water will simply run out.

"Maybe this boom will not last longer than 10 years," says Orzala Nemat.”

Home solar panels seem to typically come with guarantees of ~80% capacity up to 20-25 years. I think they need cleaning for peak performance, but that doesn't seem important in this use case.
JS records are superior.

I can create an object, then dynamically add various parameters before sending them rather than bogging down the function call. Destructuring in particular ensures this is pleasant for both the function creator and consumer.

You see a similar debate between StandardML and Ocaml though on a more fundamental level. SML uses structurally-typed records, so you can instantiate an inline record without needing to add any types and the function will destructure it for use. Ocaml went with nominal typing making this painful, so they added a complex optional argument syntax instead. Typescript is also structurally typed and I'd guess this is the reason.

Wow, that is a sad state of affairs. I like seeing grey hair and find a bit awkward when men dye their hair, I see it as a desperation to stay young or fear of aging or lack of development in other areas and holding on to young looks as the only achievable thing. But it makes sense that your dead does it for the job, namely to be taken seriously. But I agree with other posters, keeping fit goes a long way and is something most people could and should do.

I'd agree that Australia has stronger nationwide consumer protection laws, but that's more of a function of the US delegating many of those powers to the states.

The process you describe for getting a refund in Australia sounds completely identical to my experience dealing with my state attorney general. The concepts of Implied Warranties of Merchantability and Fitness for a Particular Purpose are also widely recognized in the US -- at the state level.

Conversations and Ideas
Nice to see more and more pushed to the edge, and good that it's only the beginning of the week.

I'm a little surprised they stuck with the isolates model when moving to include generalized compute. We found isolates to be ideal for a cache layer, but it doesn't have first class support for many languages: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/native-golang-support-for...

Very interested to see if they expand on their storage options throughout the week. Additional consistency guarantees in their KV offering would make it more competitive with Dynamo. I'd love to see a managed relational offering like Cockroach, or perhaps the addition of CockroachCloud to their bandwidth alliance.

One point I'm disappointed about is that they list API Gateway and DNS Queries (per MM requests) at $0.

This may be true if you're deploying on a single domain with Cloudflare, but if you're a SaaS and need SSL for custom domains, Cloudflare bumps you into their enterprise offering that costs a minimum of thousands per month, and (we found) netted out to about $5-10 per month per hostname:
https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl-for-saas-providers/

(I recognize this is a different way of metering, but listing both at $0 feels like they're arguing DNS & TLS termination cost nothing at Cloudflare, and that was far from our experience)
Not sure if OP is the writer but in the section where it says “you need good aerodynamics and no breaks” I think it meant to say “Brakes” instead.
To improve the quality of your idea conversations be picky about who you discuss ideas with.

I’ve now mostly figured out the right balance for me to do this in real life. Where I struggle is with conversations online. I think one reason HN has such a high quality of conversations, compared with other forums, is most people here are motivated by finding the truth behind ideas. Twitter, for example, is at the opposite end. It feels like a firehose of conflicting motives coming at me at once. The only solution I’ve found there is to stay logged out most of the time.

> The nation is seething with anxiety and deeply divided about the role of police, the value of Black lives and the limits of federal authority in an election season like none other.

This sentence hits at the heart of the issue, but not in the way the author intended.

Our politics is no longer about persuasion, but is entirely about division. The author here is a participant, unwitting or otherwise, in this division. He writes "The nation is seething with anxiety and deeply divided about... the value of Black lives". There is no division about the value of black lives. The division is about specific policies and their affect on black lives.

Do we need less policing in black neighborhoods, or more?
Do we need to change the rules of engagement for police officers?
Do we need laws about the use of body cameras?
Do we need more community outreach?

But these aren't the questions that are pervading the public discourse. Why? Because politicians and journalists are intent on obfuscating the real issues. Because the goal isn't to solve the problems, the goal is to harness the outrage that these problems generate, and channel that outrage into clicks and/or votes.
We played multiplayer flappy bird in a livestream
Yeah this is a bizarre statement considering that GPT-3 is definitely not any of those things really. GPT-3 is far, far too computationally expensive to have value in industry. A linear CRF is more useful than most NN approaches in industry right now, just simply because in many circumstances you want to have something that you can apply to a few billion documents and get the result within a few hours, then tweak a few things and repeat if you like. These simple models also have the ability to be predictable as well. Some transformer or lstm methods can be useful in industry, but it really depends on the application. I certainly would not be using GPT-like systems for much in industry, other than gimmicks for marketing.
GPT-3 is useful for academia - not industry.

Some employers will probably try, but since I've moved to a lower-income area of the US, I've noticed that there aren't a ton of other developers in my community, especially with 5+ yrs experience.

I think location will factor more into salary discussions moving foward, but it's not like there are a ton of software devs in South Dakota ready to take the jobs of the SV folks.
Just because there are older folks struggling to find jobs after not keeping up skills doesn't mean there isn't also ageism, and it can become problematic when everyone disregards the ageism by saying it's all just meritocratic and skills based.

I think there are lots of younger developers in the hiring process who start out with a bias of assuming older developers have atrophied skills. Then when that bias makes it harder for older developers to find jobs, the younger developers say "ah, well that's meritocracy for you".
I wonder if the older courses weren't as extreme? Our sports seem to trend toward breaking limits.
I agree that going back to $50k a year is going to blow chunks. But it's going to be very different this time versus when I was straight out of college - I have developer skills I can fall back on in the worst case scenario, I have six figures in the bank to fall back on, my student loans and car are both paid off, I'm not moving around constantly, I'm not spending money on expensive dating. I think I will be ok. I've never been an extravagant spender on myself, only on others.

That 80/20 split (for younger me) is what taught me enough that I can now think it all out ahead of time. When I just started around 20 years ago, it was all new, it was all confusing, and all the answers were hidden behind obscurity, gatekeeping, and strange social norms (no StackOverflow back then). So I had to learn by brute force, smashing my face into every project for somewhere around 100 hours a week.

Now I have some knowledge and perspective, even the ability to pick out the fads and novelties from time to time. I can try new things on small projects and I can go with tried and true for the big things and I tend to understand which projects are better for which approach. I can visualize the data, the models, the inputs and outputs, and think through the logic from beginning to end, all within about 30-50 hours per week. That took lots of late nights and a ton of trial and error.

There's a good place for the less experienced and more experienced on any well balanced team, to be certain.

Am 43 and regularly coding in a lead position, would chime in on some of your points.

> 1. boredom of doing the same thing over and over in a different languange/framework

Sounds like being stuck in the same junior developer position for the rest for your life. Not really common.

> 2. Still have to get "permission" from (possibly younger) manager before doing anything.

What's wrong with that? Age in no virtue per se, and really it's the same situation in military, business and other organisations elsewhere.

> 6. Honestly, it feels a bit weird to be the oldest person on the team by a huge margin.

Not in an appropriately senior role.

> 7. Younger devs assume you might be bad at your job to not grow in your career and don't give you much respect.

Never an issue if you can step in and do their job if necessary.
You don't influence by pulling the seniority card, you do it with data. If there isn't data to back up your suggested approach being better, it might not be, and you get to learn something new!
Monads and Mom
The Portland protests of the last 60 nights have burned no buildings (they shot off some retail fireworks on the courthouse steps, which suddenly becomes "arson"), they have fired no shots at anyone I'm aware of. They sing, smoke weed, dance, light fires, grill ribs, play drums, apply a metric ton of paint as graffiti, and frankly don't hurt anyone at all.

And they get tear gassed every night (seriously: every single night), because people like you want to conflate every single incidence of violence with a single movement.
It isn't becoming normal, it's being forced due many factors: risk of getting sick with no proper treatment, possible schools not opening which forces to deal with your kids, no vaccine, etc.
So... first of all, I shouldn't have to download a PDF to understand what you're building.

Second... I downloaded the PDF, and still don't understand what you're building. My best guess is a helpdesk for the Internet?
You could be right about that. Zoe is just one of many options. If you need the range you probably want a larger car as well (chargers are everywhere here, short range car for commutes isn’t a problem.) Most other long range cars also have heat pumps and battery heater/coolers.

I’ve the Kona EV myself actually, great car. And to illustrate the ICE/EV price difference here, top specced it was slightly cheaper than a base model ICE Golf.

The programming language doesn't matter
I think it's better to start your cv/presentation/whatever with

* I got a computer engineer and mba an the university of X in the country Y

instead of

* I got no official degree in USA

For some professions, a degree is almost universal [Mathematician here. The value of a math degree depends a lot on the university, the advisor, and how many papers you have published. But you are effectively a mathematician everywhere.]

For other professions like lawyers and medical doctors, moving to another country means you must go back to primary school and draw your vertical and horizontal sticks again.

But I'm feeling that you prefer a management position instead of a software developer position.
I did managed some people on the Spectrum and it is an eye opener.

The best way to explain is:

Imagine you can only see black and white (no gray tones) and all other people can see full colors.

Then someone says:

"look at that Orange and pink tones"
<...>

That is it. They can't identify these "orange and pink" tones.

Example on priorities:

1. You set 5 task on priorities;

2. CEO/Big Boss secretary calls because report Y is not printing;

3. Your fellow on Spectrum says rigidly: "Sorry that is not important or priority, bye".

That may look "funny" but these people suffer a lot. In work, relationships everything.

They can't see "pink and oranges".

Sheldon from Big Bang theory is "funny" until it is not.

What is my suggestion:

1. One task by time (only leave ONE task on their queues).

2. Be EXPLICIT . VERY EXPLICIT. Examples:

2.1 "I Need this class to input X,Y,Z, and produce Z with W,G results. Do not change code-style,lint or whatever."

2.2 "We need to improve W but we Can't turn off Z. or Y"

3. Ask and understand how they think (example with real cases):

3.1 "Why you turn off the whole call center electricity? A. To restart all machines faster after Service Pack."

3.2 "Why you blocked CEO mailbox? A.: "There was a virus running and I did to safe him"

The thing is to be their "pink and orange tones".

One Task only, be explicit what you want, be VERY explicit what is the result.

Once you reach this you will have a fine tuned productivity machine.
