I doubt it with multiple large manufacturers discontinuing cheaper cars and continuing to push up market. If there was a market for cheaper cars, there wasn't enough demand to be sustainable.

Lightly used cars have become far better value than new cheap cars.
From the post,

> a fresh grad at a big tech company can safely earn ~$500k post-tax in 5 years.

> The US median income post-tax is ~$25k

It's funny how they pick a "conservative" best-case scenario, then a "median" scenario that, relative to the first, is impossibly low. I guess the numbers barely work, but good luck making that lifestyle trade.
This is just someone's thesis, most projects like that are abandoned immediately after defense.

This is a silly simplification. You might have $446,368. You might have $0, because in the interim your kids had to go to college, or you buy a house, or you got sick and you live in developing country that can't help you pay for it.

Or maybe none of this happens, and annual 3% inflation cut the real value by roughly 75%, and you had to pay 20% taxes on top of that. You're left with around 90k of value, of which ~36k is your investment return. In the meantime, you gave up 18,250 lattes.
It's median US income, so you'd obviously be moving to Cleveland.
I'd still be super careful doing that without explicit written authorisation. You "got away with it", not everybody does. (Although I'll note he admits to having made some "stupid" decisions which perhaps you avoided. And I'm guessing he knowingly or unknowingly pissed off someone powerful enough to push through 3 felony convictions, even if they were borderline enough to be completely expunged 12 years later. You never want to piss those guys off without appropriate in-writing justification):

"He installed a program called "Crack" that automatically guesses passwords. Like most tools, it's used by both good guys and bad guys, by those who abuse computer systems and by system administrators who want to find out whether users are avoiding such easy targets as plain English words. It's even distributed by the Computer Emergency Response Team at Carnegie Mellon University.

He installed the program without telling his boss, something that he today admits was "stupid." But the program proved his point: Crack quickly guessed nearly 50 passwords of the 600 users of that system -- one belonging to a company vice president. Instead of reporting the company's security problem right away, Schwartz has said, he decided to continue testing. Again, he admits in hindsight, "stupid."

Other system administrators discovered the program and traced it back to Schwartz.

Schwartz insisted he never used the passwords for any nefarious purpose, and said he only acted because the company's lax security bugged him."

It already is one for all intents purposes, just not one that is used ubiquitously (except in the sense of getting us to buy stuff). All that is changing is that the panopticon is becoming slightly more explicit than implicit, making it that much easier to (eventually) flip a policy switch that designates groups wholesale as "enemies of the people" requiring active scrutiny and interference.

I'm reminded of this cartoon:

Twenty years later and it is still fresh as a daisy.
Start a company with technical co-founders. The technical co-founders can stay focused on what they excel best: deciding what to build, hiring the product and engineering team, and building it. I will handle fundraising, handling the operations generally, and setting up the sales motion and GTM machine. Technical founders get much of the autonomy and upside of starting a new company while also getting support and guardrails so they can stay focused while having confidence the business is being built well by me.

Does the above answer your question?
Moderation is the secret sauce of user-generated content. You shouldn't allow for user generated content if you aren't prepared to moderate it. It seems many people still don't understand that this is the biggest problem facing social media. Not scaling, not engagement, but moderation.
One subject that's pretty useful for programmers to understand reasonably well is numerical analysis, even if it's at a fairly basic level. It's amazing how quickly you run into problems in practice as soon as you try to do anything with floating point numbers.

I didn't carefully read through the section on modular arithmetic, so maybe this is already there, but one thing worth noting that bites a lot of people is that using modular arithmetic for integer representations means that addition, subtraction, and multiplication work the same for signed and unsigned integers. This means that you can typically write arithmetic expressions involving these operations without worrying too much about whether things are being regarded as signed or unsigned at intermediate steps. As soon as you introduce division into the mix, though, the whole thing falls apart, and you have to be very careful about how the language is interpreting each subexpression.

And those will (or already have) passed their design life. At some point those will need to be shut down too. Will you then change your stance and say they're stupid then? Would you rather these nuclear power plants continue to run at unsafe capacities and risk failures just to make you happy?

BTW, this human component of "just keep them running at all costs" is the main reason many are against nuclear, not because they think a well-running plant is dangerous.

Perhaps for you, but in any case, "religion" is not a single thing and not all religions are equal. Besides, every society has a religion. Every person has a faith. In the US, it is liberalism. In the Soviet Union, it was the Marxism/Leninism/whatever and the State. In medieval Europe, it was Catholicism. For Richard Dawkins, it is scientism.

And the only measure worth discussing is whether the religion in question is true. Your phrasing suggests you see it as some purely instrumental fiction. I reject that view because holding to a faith for its purported "benefits" is an act of bad faith. You believe things because you have reasons to believe they're true, not because you think they'll produce some desired result.
I have 5 items in that bar on my Samsung Galaxy and I have no space for a label. As the screenshot shows the labels are there, just not visible until a certain breakpoint

I agree that the UX could be improved and there is plenty of evidence to support that. On the other hand the edit icon is super discoverable and used without the label so I think the challenge with the language icon is 1) there are not many multilingual sites and 2) the other icons there potentially cause the user to ignore them entirely.

Throw in the 200+ languages and longer labels in some of them and it becomes even more complicated...

Yet worse outcome is when you actually need the money (say, medical emergency or required big purchase) and you don't have it because market is lean or illiquid. And if you're old and retired, you will likely not get the needed loan. At the same moment, you don't have a job and if the emergency is big enough, you might not be able to get one. Even if you keep yourself updated to meet the needs of the market (which does cost money) others may not believe you.

I was just coming to see if someone mentioned this! I work for AWS, and it's both surprising and heartening to see how often I see this anecdote get repeated, and many times by us to our own customers. We had teams looking for weeks at all of our other services for other instances of this.

It was a good operational lesson and one I'm happy to see shared still. If a command will let you perform a self-inflicted wound like that without checks, then it's time to review that command. Err on the side of caution and bias towards minimizing blast radius even if it means sacrificing some speed. "Move fast and break things" may be true at times, but not when the "*" character is ever involved. =)
Show HN: Htmlkit – lib for declarative HTML construction in Go
Hi!

Author here. I made a Golang lib this evening. It's pretty rough and low level at the moment, but I think there's opportunity to build higher level constructs on top of it.

I kinda like React components (but I don't like JS), and I was wondering if there's some reasonable way to bring "component" style web development to Go on the server side. So this is a rough draft of html dom rendering from Go.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

P.S. Gonna have a beer and hang out for another hour or so if you want to discuss in the comments.

Expecting medicine to work with any doctor on any patient is what made doctors stop making excuses for bad medicine - "It works when I do it" or "It works if you use it on the right patient" when they're just talking pure quackery.

It's kind of similar in management, education, sociology, software development, and plenty of other not-so-well respected fields (a manager might get paid well, but they aren't respected like doctors are). Experts love to say that "every case is different" because then they can always defend their pet crackpot theory with "well, it will work if the right person does it properly in the right case" (which is kind of a truism).

Yes, medical experts will take things from "medicine X works well" to "but we found certain interactions / contraindications where it won't work so well, and a few cases where it works better", but this is different - it's expected that they're specific.

It's such a difficult line to toe. Especially because people like working with new technology and it does seem to help with recruiting even if it makes actually operating the business harder.

I used to be full-time linux, and I would still have one linux-only PC (and another for gaming) if not for this specific problem.

FWIW I have messed with all the common and many of the uncommon linux security camera software, and none seem compatible with my particular DVR. I will eventually replace the system with another, but that's quite an annoyance.

Most things take longer.

Dealing with the more expressive type system, additional errors and warnings, figuring out generic functions, types and type constraints.

Having the additional concept of ownership to think about, design around, and run smack into face-first. GC is a joy by comparison, it requires zero effort.

Figuring out which abstraction to use, in Go there is typically only one obvious way to do it.

Dealing with less mature libraries.

In general there is just way more cognitive overhead working in Rust, much more to think about, more options to choose from, and more constraints. Some of this should pay itself back by avoiding certain classes of bugs - but I find on a solo project (I've used Go in teams, but not Rust) I get very little benefit here because all the code is written by me, and I'm experienced enough not to make a lot of the mistakes Rust can protect me from, like race conditions or nil pointers/interfaces most of the time. On a larger team you'd get more benefits here, especially if working with more junior developers. But I don't think you ever get to the same productivity you get with Go.

So my advice is if you can afford a GC, and you don't need too much low-level C interop or performance optimiations, choose Go.

I do want to add, that from a software craft perspective, I find Rust more elegant to read and write, but only really when I'm not pulling my hair out because of the borrow checker, or hairy details around closures, or whatever else. I do take a certain satisfaction in that elegance sometimes, but overall I'd rather get stuff done.
Another trick is to run

PayPal was already screwed in the moderation department because there is no equivalent of common carrier for financial services.

‘Where it’s most effective’ == places that use their energy during the day, e.g, any place close-ish to the equator that needs daytime cooling.

Solar farms can be deployed at large scale in less than three years. Here’s India adding 7 MW in that timeframe: https://www.greenlaunches.com/alternative-energy/less-three-...

We do have lots of solar panels and lots of solar panel manufacturing capacity. I don’t think we have the nuclear resources we need to produce as fast.
Nice imagination. Maybe it's true in the USA, but nobody seems to want to hire a full paid dev (as opposed to an intern) on part time around here. It's almost always full time. Consultants are also mostly gone.
RISC-V: What’s Missing and Who’s Competing
The viewpoint I have heard is that most enterprises want to fix the leaks if they are informed about where they are to a high degree of specificity (e.g., ~20 meters). Then they can send a crew with detection equipment. They're trying the carrot rather than the stick for now. Anecdotally, this has worked.

It's not clear, to me at least, that there should be criminal penalties for medium sized leaks like in TFA. I don't know at all what the regulations are.
The server code is viewable, but the source data, which is the only part that actually matters, appears to be some elasticsearch server with a url hidden in some environment variables, which I'm not seeing anywhere. So there isn't actually a way to audit if the source data can be reproduced. Open-ish source, I suppose.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's actually a point that I don't think has been decided yet, specifically "imminent". It's been ruled that "at some unspecified point in the future" doesn't count, but I can't find a case (with an admittedly short search) about where the exact boundaries are.

I don't know what the exact legal definition of imminent is, but the layman's definition involves the thing happening soon.

It may well depend on how close to 5 it is (but what timezone?).

The same sentence with the words "right now" would almost certainly meet the test though (assuming the action was actually likely to occur).
Very much feel you there. Guess it's all about testing and trying to find the right balance
That's the same mentality of people stating because one form of pollution reduction or green energy generation isn't solving the problem that it's not worth attempting to do what you can when you can where you can. Those small moves are what gets the thing moving.
There's a distinction to be made:

- If your business doesn't rely on new technology, then avoid bleeding edge tech (examples: you retail co-working space, rent apartments, do food/grocery delivery, etc.)

- If your business model does rely on new technology (examples: airlines in the early 20th century, railroads in the early days of the steam engine, e-commerce in the early 2000s) then you have to work out a way to deliver on bleeding-edge technology. That's where your competitive advantage lies and that's where the nice margins are.

Though even in the latter scenario, it's still prudent to narrow the scope of your bleeding-edge tech as much as possible (e.g. if you're doing a cryptocurrency app, you probably shouldn't be trying to make your own NoSQL database at the same time).
Many of the cases we hear about don't seem to be mistakes, including this one. Sometimes nobody can figure out any possible reason for a ban and sometimes it gets reinstated (that's the undo feature in action). But often there are obvious copyright issues or offensive material and the channel owner only goes clutching at fair use or freedom of speech after the ship has sailed.
How does this affect people who don’t live in large urban areas? Farmers and ranchers drive, too, and I just don’t see electric vehicles being cost-efficient for people who already deal in tight margins. The large concerns will probably survive just fine, but it sounds like the small grower is just screwed.

The idea here is to do basically a cryoplane. Hydrogen can be generated on demand for the planes to refuel and can be stored highly compressed for that particular use case. We're not talking about using it for GA or cars.

Rent plus city tax, payroll tax, super high minimum wage, 200 different departments of red tape, and on and on. Covid is the straw that broke the camel’s back but there was only so much NYC business could take. Plus the absurd posturing related to Amazon’s HQ2 and subsequent pullout.

NYC cannot possibly believe that they are seen as “pro-business”, so they can’t expect business to bail them out of their financial difficulties because being in business is too onerous. They may get a final wealth seizure from the super-rich with some sudden tax increases, but they will decamp to Florida or other low-tax domiciles after the first theft.

If the federal government doesn’t bail out New York, I’m not sure how they are going to survive without bankruptcy and massive structural reform of their pension obligations, bond holders, and bloated bureaucracy.
