To be clear, it is wrongful thinking because people cannot usually grasp the vastness of billions and make their idea around their thousands as of it was the same

It isn't

Consider this

If you had a billion today and paid 1% every year in 20 years you would pay 220 millions total

In those same 20 years if you invested in a conservative way, say 4% guaranteed, which is arguably easy if you have a billion, after 20 years you would have gained 1.2 billions

In other words a net positive of one billion

Talking about numbers helps because the ratio is the same if you apply them to 1 thousand dollars

220 dollars spent, 1.2 thousands gained, 1 thousand net positive

The only difference is that making 4% with a thousand dollars is harder than with a million times a thousand dollars

Simply put you have a million 1,000 dollars chances VS Just the one

Or put it another way you could spend 1k every day for a million days, which is approximately 2,740 years, it means you could spend 10k/day for 274 years or 100k/day for 27 years or a million every day for 3 years.

And the compound interest would keep the initial billion grow indefinitely.

It basically means you have infinite money.

And you are worried that taking 1% would be detrimental for billionaires?

> If you keep reaching into their pocket they will leave

Biases are so boring... (you used a mix of confirmation bias and ancoring bias)

We are not even reaching their pockets now, they are paying less than the poor

Wake up, or you end up living worse than rich people's dogs (you probably already are right now in US)
Because they are likely to be bankrupt before that happens. Everybody involved knows this, and is acting on that certainty.
Ask HN: What sucked about your last virtual teambuilding activity?
The bing bang is way too accepted in the mainststream: in reality there is no concrete proof for it.

Therefore we can either:
a) Fit the models to fit the data.
b) Invent more physical phenomena to make it fit the data (quasi particles in physics).

There is nothing wrong in doing that, but there is severe arrogance of saying that "the bing bang happened" where in reality we just have a hypothesis.

And even "the most widely accepted by CONSENSUS" hyptothesis doesn't make mean is actually TRUE.

It's perfectly fine to make new theories, but at the end of the day we simply don't know enough: and yet the mainstream/every kid believes in the the bing bang to the extend as religous people believe in God.

They aren’t, the problem is that the “baseline amount of money a person needs to survive“ is extremely low compared to modern standards, and generally way lower than what minimum wage dictates.

The result depends on how many people can do the job and how productive the job is.

If the job is reasonably productive but anyone can do it, the result is a bidding war between sellers fighting for a job (race to the bottom).
The evidence contradicts your belief. Scandinavian countries have much higher levels of government spending, as a percentage of GDP, today, than any time before 1965. The majority of that government spending is on social welfare programs.
This is all correct but I think the default map editor does a good job of guiding newcomers for simple edits, and also lets you tag your commit for review if you're in doubt.

For small corrections (such as changing a business from a pub to a store, adding a road, naming a street…) it's perfectly accessible to anyone interested.

For sure for complex edits (like touching important objects such as airports) it's better to make a note if you're not familiar with it.
Just to be clear, he didn’t die. Correct?
A similar thing happened to my wife, from the age of like 12 she had a wells fargo savings account, her mother would deposit $50 each time her father paid child support. It was supposed to be an account that when she graduated highschool and went off to college she would have some money for random things. She and I met during Junior year of high school, and moved in to a shitty apartment near her college at 18, thinking that she had some money to help with the deposit. I paid everything first, then she was going to pay me back.

Turns out her mother had been depositing the $50 each week automatically until she was about 17, but was also randomly over the years withdrawing nearly all of it. And at the time she went in, she was -$240 on the account, and they wouldn't allow her to close it until that was paid off, and they were going to continue feeing her $20 each month for having less than the required amount. By the time we finally had the income available to close the account it had accrued around $1000 in fees.

And yet, for some stupid reason, I am still with Wells Fargo today, 15 years on...
billionaires probably have spots in garages ;)
Inflationary theory. Someone more educated on the topic can pine in, but my lay understanding is that the output of some form of primeval radioactive decay (Big Bang) caused a phenomenal rate of spacial expansion, which caused space to expand faster than the rate of gravitational collapse in those first moments.

Not too relevant here, but I think the main thing keeping regular people from installing open source software is that most OSS is an unpolished usability nightmare compared to commercial counterparts.

Some of the earlier articles about this mentioned that Revlon is struggling and that the creditors were worried about getting paid back for the loan.

This seems like a really bad loan to service.
Creating a fancy stepper component in React
Tekton's UI is very bare bones. Really all you need to see job status and logs from each job/step running. It's not _good_, it's fine to get the job done. It's not good at surfacing errors during execution though. We spend a lot of time diagnosing why pipelines failed.

At this point in my experience for both (I have much, much more time with Tekton though), Argo is good for CD. It's visualization and syncing of environment charts (we use Helm) is useful.

Tekton is amazing for defining highly complex build/deploy workflows (which we have). Along with Tekton's sibling project Triggers, you can have full end-to-end PR -> Build -> Deploy -> Feedback into Slack/Monitoring/Alerting/etc.

If I had to make a comparison (with my current knowledge level), I'd say Argo is like Angular, batteries loaded with addons you can include if you wish. Tekton is like React, you get pieces and build them into whatever you want.
"The former MasterChef contestant, Dani Venn, and her husband Chris Burgess were left homeless last week when $250,000 from the settlement of her recently sold Melbourne property was stolen by hackers who set up third party accounts to breach the fledgling electronic property transfer system Property Exchange Australia (PEXA).

Ms Venn’s bank, the Commonwealth Bank, was able to freeze $138,000 of the funds, but the hackers who entered the system via her conveyancer’s account made off with the remainder.

“The $110,000 is missing and it’s not recoverable,” she said."

That's kind of annoying as the NG version of the 737, the 737-800 is referred to as the 738.
I just wonder, if I as a private person had a brain fart and wrote a check in full for my car loan, instead of just an installment, what are my chances of retrieving that money? Very small I should think.

So, are corporations classed as fictional persons? Then let Citibank live with the mistake. As I would have to.
Tips for Being Effective Working from Home
You can (or will be able to once they are airborne) do that by using FlightRadar and looking at the historical data for the flight number.
Eventually there would be some sort of equilibrium. There can be 'infinite cash' which would be inflationary. But with capital there is a finite amount of it. Most central banks only allow a particular amount of cash into their systems. So the 'printing press' would probably not be true either. But it can if they crank it up. Cash is a short term proxy of capital. Capital is limited as you can not make infinite amount of things. At least that is what I am thinking. There would have to be a ceiling to it. Now if you erode trust in the capital to cash proxy (with massive amounts of inflation/deflation) the equilibrium is met quickly as unemployment would rise as people would not trust cash transactions and bartering would enter the picture again.

This is the downfall of most economic theories people hold. They miss taking it a step or two out and assume all conditions will hold true forever. The market changes. You can eat a bad egg for breakfast and decide you hate eggs forever. Yet the day before eggs would have been an acceptable form of breakfast transaction. Now these theories have a place to play 'what if'. But usually are not that good to follow.
That's part of the court setting the sentence though. There are already maximum times for imprisonment set in law, so I don't think your scenario is realistic.
TL:DR; despite the title, mostly the theory challenges inflation (which itself was originally partly an attempt to answer predictive flaws with earlier cyclic theories) - the big bang itself is countered in so far as a "single point" state is not required.

With this continuous (eternal?) contraction and expansion, I'm reminded eerily of a heart beating, or something breathing...
The results don't necessarily tell us about the future- but that there may have been a bounce in the past.

As far as being too big, that's not quite it. Everything is moving away from each other because of the big bang, but astronomers realized that hey, gravity should be slowing that down. So they tried to measure the deceleration of the expansion of the universe. Instead they found it's accelerating.

There's a lot of theories as to why, but right now it's just called "Dark Energy" because no one really has a full understanding of it. Space itself seems to be stretching out, becoming larger.

Will the acceleration of expansion continue forever? Maybe someday it will slow and reverse? No one is sure yet.

If you accidentally pay back your full credit card balance, but only meant to pay the min monthly payment, you wouldn’t expect them to give it back to you would you?
> this probably depends on a tiny detail: did Revlon instruct Citibank to pay the $176.2 million to Brigade Capital?

This is not the lender’s problem. If the borrower’s bank pays the lender bank, the lender has some claim to the money.

If the lender inappropriately deducted the funds from the borrower’s account, that’s a problem for them to sort out.

In any case, good to get modern case law to this question.
Actually I find an absolute beginning and an absolute ending more troublesome to think about. It is easier to accept that in reality while everything keeps changing and recycling, the sum total has always been.

Is it morbid of me to wonder what happens if you fly a plane into such a building in Flight Simulator? It just… sticks out so much that crashing into it seems the obvious thing to try.

(Judging by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhrGEdO88kE where someone eventually succeeds in landing on this building, it looks like if you fail the screen just goes black at the point of impact, so no interesting physics simulation.)
"Herd Immunity" is a spectrum, as some already commented. It depends highly on the introduced restrictions measures. So for some limited masking it will appear at the earlier moment, but once people stop wearing them, the threshold will go up.
About the "don't need taxes" thing: That's a laughable fallacy. In this modern world of interrelated dependencies, the days of "somebody will probably build a road just when its needed, Libertarianism could work. Really! Just let random people run the whole society at random, that'd work great"

We have to grow up, and recognize that as our country grew from 10M to 450M people, certain processes and activities have to be streamlined and organized. You don't run the company by letting folks show up for shifts at random and hope for the best. You don't run a country's infrastructure that way either.
Facinating ignorance.

It wasn't mentioned that this behaviour is limited to certain problems. If the customers world is burning then likely the web-interface will not work either. And who said it's only about fastmail? This behaviour is generally risky. Especially if you are a small company for whome it's a big sellingpoint to deliver better service than your competitors.

> you call them on the phone.

What phone? And why should someone call a company on the other side of the world via phone? Who even says the customer is talking and understanding australian english well enough to be able to communicate with them? Fastmail is an internet-company, not some local shop around the corner.
This is the boating industry ... not google ads.

They probably repaid all lenders that are customers of Citibank and that took part in the $1.8 billion loan to Revlon. Maybe one button to "close" the loan? :)
Hey!

My view on Product Management has always been that anyone can transition into the role if they want to and have the ability to lead challenging projects and teams.

I think that you’re reasoning to want to become one makes sense, and you should follow your intuition. However, you’ll see that once you do, it is a VERY different landscape to the one you’re used to.

Having developing experience will give you an edge when it comes to working with engineers. However, that’s not going to be enough. If you want to become a full-stack PM, you will need to work on your design, marketing, and communications skills to feel comfortable working with different stakeholders across the board.

Now, as to how to transition, I think that the first thing to do is get your portfolio in order. You may already have one which showcases your experience as a mobile developer, but it may be useful to look at it from a product management perspective. Highlight the work you did with the product manager and how involved you go in processes outside of actually building and coding.

Another way to get some PM experience before applying for an official role is to build something of your own. Having a side project that you manage yourself will give you valuable experience, but it will show your creativity and entrepreneurial thinking, setting you apart from other candidates. Even if the product doesn’t take off, you’ll have more to talk about in an interview, and learning from failure is critical for good product managers.

Of course, some things can’t be taught. Luckily, there are industry-recognized Product Management certifications to show you everything you need to know. I'll throw the link here to the Product School ones so you can check them out (https://productschool.com/product-management-certification/?...).

Good luck!
I despise the big bounce because it's dogmatic in origin. "It makes sense that the universe just bounces instead of 'coming from nowhere'!"

Every time cosmologists looked, the universe got bigger and suggested growth. The big bounce at no point in history ever looked right. Moreover, the big bounce kicks the bucket down the road. It ultimately has the same metaphysical issues.

I find the reasoning poor as well. "I don't like inflation" != "The universe ends in contraction". Yes, it's proven difficult to explain CMB smoothness, but this doesn't mean the big bounce is a better candidate than other non-empirical ideas.

I'm confident truth will be far stranger than big bounce fiction.
That is true! There is a lot of danger going into both sides of the spectrum:

- Do excellent beautiful clean code, and you spent a lot of time, and your competitors outdid you;
- Do the most horrible spaghetti mess ball of mud code, and your product will be bug-ridden, and users won’t stay with you and jump to a competitor because their ! product quality ! is higher.

There is a right place of balance: how can we be less perfectionistic about our codebases and still keep the ! product quality ! good enough while maintaining the blazing speed of development, and develop the right thing our customer really needs.

That is the key.

The iPad is by definition a more limited environment in that it IS locked down and heavily sandboxed. What you get from that is a hyperportable tool that pretty much Just Works All The Time without the need to worry about security or administration.

There are absolutely things you can't do there. For any advanced user, it's unlikely to provide a sufficient computing environment in and of itself -- but there are lots of folks for whom a nice iPad is entirely enough. My 80 year old mother only rarely touches her laptop nowadays (realistically, it exists for the version of Quicken she likes + the need to write embroidery patterns to flash drives for use with her INSANELY complicated sewing machine).

This is good.

But you trade some things away by setting the dials in that way (high portability & battery, high security) -- obviously, there's less direct user control, and less ability to customize, and outside environments like Pythonista I don't think there's any way to write code on it you could use on it.

But that's fine, because if the iPad doesn't meet your need as a primary, you probably have a regular computer on your desk, too. A Mac works just like computers have worked for 40 years -- you own the machine, down to the metal, and can do anything you want with it. This freedom comes at a cost (increased risk of crashes or malware infection), and may not represent the dominant mode of computing for regular humans going forward. That's fine. Not everybody needs that.

So the distinction is actually really simple: They're different products, positioned to address different user stories. Why shouldn't they have different approaches to lockdown/security/customization?

I mean, car makers have several models available, too, with often very very different capabilities and functions. That's also ok.
The pessimistic side of me says that they know they're going to lose. However they're investing the $175m in the meantime and will make more money from it than they're losing by paying the lawyers.
Actually there are three kind of SSD storage types in Azure: Standard, Premium and Ultra. I’m assuming that you need to provision an ‘s’ VM because the regular instances lack the connectivity for the faster storage, but that’s just guessing.

> Phobos is dynamic by default

That depends on your distro. The packages from dlang.org all do the static link config out-of-the-box, but some distro packages dynamic link by default instead.

Given the size of that file, it looks static linked. It dynamic links libc, pthread, and a couple other OS-level things, but all D libs including druntime, phobos, etc, are statically linked.

Might just be difference in dependencies.
Or just tax them equally. Billionaires tend to pay a lower rate of tax than most. If that earning was instead distributed to thousands of individuals earning a few hundred thousand a year, the tax yield would be much bigger. A billionaire's dollars also sit around unused, which is much less value than actively circulating wealth.
One more reason to use zip archives then !
The same is true in the US but some people like to pretend contracts mean everything here.
That's just a semantic dodge to avoid answering phrasings of the question that use the term 'before'. However the comment you're replying to didn't use the 'before' phrasing. We can't dodge the broader question of how, or why the Universe came about in the particular form that it did so easily.

So first you wrote the argument of "look at this trend, it must be herd immunity because I can't think of any other reason for it". And when someone points that out your response is "of course that's the extent of the analysis I've done, I can't think of another analysis that would prove the point".
Like 1000 euros per year for a MSDN Professional license, or the required certification from several vendors that have to be renewed every couple years.
Hmm, thanks for pointing this out. But I'm slightly baffled, for the commands you gave (flush-lines, M-%, M-S-%) that's fine - transient mode with keyboard (between point and mark) and with a mouse, they are the same thing. Transmode is just highlighting AFAICS (between point and mark) and that mode quits the moment you release the mouse (leaving mark where you started the drag, point where you ended it). The convention of "operate only on stuff between point and mark" is necessary, mouse or no, and has been there since forever.

But I'm no expert!
> The homepage claims superior ride and comfort in bad sea states.

For a limited definition of bad sea states--the FAQ says the limit before you might unexpectedly land is about 1m wave height, which wouldn't be a serious issue for an ordinary boat almost 8m in length [1].

That said, I do think there's a place for hydrofoils on sheltered bodies of water. There is (or was, 10 years ago) a regular hydrofoil ferry service that runs between Petrozavodsk and the island of Kizhi [2], which cuts travel time dramatically compared to a traditional ferry.

Just recently I was on my iMac playing the "free guess" minesweeper where guessing is safe whenever you're forced to guess. The game needed a right-click to mark mines, and I got frustrated by Apple's magic mouse being prone to misinterpret right-clicks as left-clicks.

Now I know how to be in control with my right-clicks!
