Without a paid off home, it'd be a stretch depending on age. If you're willing to move to a lower cost of living area, you can get a pretty nice home and land for about $200k, let's say $250k. That leaves $750k to live off of after that (or you're paying a mortgage and keeping the full amount). If you can keep your expenses under $50k, that's 15 years ignoring earnings on the money.

I'm originally from Ukraine, Odessa. It indeed brings a lot of memories (mostly from childhood), but I have a slightly different perspective on it. When I moved to New York, ~8 years ago, my budget for rent was around $2,000. I checked 20+ different apartments, worked with a ton of agencies. I couldn't believe my eyes – so many people in NYC (Manhattan specifically, the place I always wanted to live in) live like rats, an order magnitude worse than what you can get in Odessa for $300-400. I ended up getting a decent studio for abysmal $2,700. I moved to Brooklyn since then and live at a much better place now, but a ton of people still live in conditions, IMO, way worse than the ones shown in the game, paying $2000 a month ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s a good move. SWE offers much better career prospects for very little effort. With a DS background you will have an edge also, provided you have the aptitude to do SWE. (A lot of “DS” don’t.)
Definitely. I've been watching Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares in the last week or so (the less sensational UK version), and one thing that struck me is that in a number of cases you have decent or even good chefs who are demotivated, bored, have little or no responsibility, and have given up and produce crap results.

Sometimes even just a little injection of responsibility can revive the enthusiasm.

If your workload can run in region B even if there is a serious failure of a service in region A, in which your workload normally runs, then no, you have not created a cross-regional dependency.

When I talk about cross regional dependency, I talk about an architectural decision that can lead to a cascading failure in region B, which is healthy by all accounts, when there is a failure in region A.

AWS has services that allow for regional replication and failover. DynamoDB, RDS, and S3 all offer cross region replication. And Global Accelerator provides an anycast IP that can front regional services and fail over in the event of an incident.

> But overall, the problem is the situation doesn't teach people to have filters.

Filtering and ranking (and their visual presentation to the user) are the most prized aspects of Google, Twitter and Facebook for their impact in advertising and activism. Everyone wants attention, attention is money and power. Attention is the value system on the internet.

So of course they don't want to share it, not even with the user. But we want to have a say about content evaluation as well, we have our own values.

Perhaps the best way to neuter Google, FB and Twitter is to spin out the ranking/filtering/presentation part and make many of them. I don't care about the indexer too much, it can stay in one piece. But for ranking and filtering I'd like to select other settings than they allow. Maybe settings proposed by EFF or other NGO's I trust more than a for profit company.

It used to be that we only had the option of a few channels to watch and newspapers to read. You could switch but they would be very restrictive in the choice of content. Internet gave us freedom and a high variety of options, but now ranking and filtering take them back. They want to take choice from us and impose theirs.

Ask HN: Interesting *non-computer related* job's?
I've always intended to go into something involving computers as a job, I've been studying development, security, operations, anything I can get my hands on.

However, the more I look at what computing looks like today, the more I hate the direction it's going, with locked-down OS's, telemetry, backdoors, etc.

What are some interesting jobs which are either not related to computers, or have computer skill as a prerequisite, but have other skillsets majorly involved (For example, I read a comment where someone described a job where you would backpack around National Park's and do deployments/maintenance of computers around the park.)?

EDIT: I'm open to any suggestions. Anything from hoboing between renfests selling hand-made goods, to being a park ranger, to homesteading a farm. I'm just curious, and looking for ideas.
I worked at a company like that. They worked on top secret projects so everything was locked down as tight as you would imagine. I literally couldn't install anything that wasn't in the approved software library/installer. I had them add a few things (which took weeks) that I used. I enjoyed the programming but ultimately I got tired of it and moved on.
Those are a lot of the major ones, but really its been a popular field of research in academia for at least a decade.

Maybe North Dakota will take the lead. Right now, officially 10.2 % of the population have or have caught covid - there's going to be an ungodly amount of people with covid sequelae. Maybe the state legislature will rouse itself to pass some kind of medicare-for-all.

First question: did you know that with Beeminder you can schedule arbitrary breaks in your commitment/graph? They do have to be scheduled with a week of lead time. (Of course you can also take the hit and get, by default, a week of respite after derailing.

I know that seems ironic or paradoxical for those first encountering Beeminder!)

pre.code { font-family: mono, monospace; }

By far the hardest part of writing a blog is finding the motivation to keep going. The best single trick that I've found to combat this is to write with a partner, as it'll keep both of you honest and motivated. The writing distribution doesn't need to be remotely even – just having a teammate is enough. That alone is worth more than any other productivity or motivation hack I've found.

(My coauthor and I write about running product/engineering teams and enterprise SaaS... we actually have indulged in the productivity woodshedding and use a static site generator with CI/CD, but it took less time to set up than it takes to write an average 1000 word post. https://staysaasy.com/)
It depends on whether or not we are going into a depression or if the markets are going to keep climbing.

Mutual funds on average the last couple years have returns of 13-14%, if that keeps up You could probably grow you million and draw enough to live off.

If the world goes into a depression, cash will be king, deflation will kick in and prices will drop. So your million will go a lot further.

If things cool off a bit and go back to a historical marketplace of 6% to 8% ROI, I think You have a way to go yet if You really want to not work at all. Of course if You are planning on checking out in the next 20 years You probably have enough.

It is a neat feeling when You see all that money in the bank though isn't it?

> Agencies like the CIA, NSA and whatever other group that does "clandestine" operations shouldn't even exist in the first place.

Such organizations are simply necessary to run a nation. Global politics is a game, and everyone plays it. It involves gathering intelligence and acting on it. The work isn’t beyond reproach, and the nature of secrecy makes doing dirty things an unavoidable consequence... but ultimately you have to accept that reality is messy, the world isn’t very nice, and sometimes you don’t have a choice as a nation but to do some detestable act for some higher purpose... and rarely will it be possible for the whole story to be told publicly in order to be judged fairly.

Sure it would be nice if everybody stopped being so awful to each other, but you can’t pretend like that is already true if you don’t want to lose everything.

In plenty of circumstances intelligence agencies have done things that never should have been done, but that isn’t an argument to stop all together.
Yes.

The "security features" of popular browsers will never protect the user from the tentacles of internet advertising.
Companies/organizations that author popular web browsers generally rely on the success of internet advertising in order to continue as going concerns; as such, they are obviously not focused on internet advertising, and collection of user data, as a "security threat".

I agree completely

So, with Nix (and probably Guix), one can configure the live CD the same way they'd configure a real installation. I think this gives us a way to improve the definition:

1. A distribution where all packages can be built from source or downloaded pre-built

2. installation media can be configured just like the regular installs

3. Customized installer media and reproduce augmented configuration packages in installations without network access

Nix and Guix satisfy all 3 parts of that revised definition.
As a developer (native code, admittedly), I refuse to work for any company who does not give me root/administrative privileges on my work machine.

Because the area is currently colder than average or optimal for human habitation and agriculture.

Colder climates make Scandinavian peninsula uninhabitable (e.g. as it was during Weichselian glaciation) and local warming would likely even be helpful for the long-term habitability and agriculture of that particular region (unlike the much more populated areas in warmer climates), the costs and risks for Nordic countries mainly come from the change as such, requiring adaptation.

The Norse people who were living in the northern parts of modern Norway would probably prefer if these lands had the climate of current Oslo area or Denmark, not fear that.

I’m yet to meet a person or heard of one, who has lived through 1917-1953 and has said the book is an exaggeration. People were sent to die in psychiatric hospitals in the 80s. The last documented resistance fighters were around til the 70s. There’s an entire generation I grew up with who went through this and nobody made a peep. Only after they start to pass away, some folks start to appear from the woodwork making statements about inaccuracies. The history of genocide is inaccurate because most people die, no records are kept and the survivors are deiven borderline mad by the experience.
Not sure I’d be too worried. It’s not uncommon for kids who stay out of daycare for the first 2 years to catch up pretty quickly once they start getting exposed to other kids. My sister in law’s kid had made 1 or 2 minor colds by age 2, then went to daycare and was sick for about 3 months straight.

Depending on your situation, it might be even lower than that if nobody in the household is interacting with members of the public.
Contracts, whether “smart” or not, also need a mechanism for enforcement.

Legal systems and the people who run them fulfill that function; I’m skeptical you could engineer that away.

> I trust that the worldwide cryptography community will never let that happen.

I wonder who puts in more expert man-hours into safeguarding/defeating crypto: the US alphabet soup agencies, or the rest of the of the "worldwide cryptography community". I'm fairly certain the government spends more dollars (doing things like factoring enough primes AOT to be able to decrypt ~20% of all https traffic in realtime[1]). Often things that community concludes to be "unlikely" or "difficult" are well within the governments ability - cue "SSL added and removed here ;-)"

I think the fact that the cryptography community didn't pick up on Crypto AG's subterfuge says a lot, IMO.

Yes, but if you read just a little further in that article: “The combustion of ammonia in air is very difficult in the absence of a catalyst”

Practically speaking, NOx formation is difficult to avoid in combustion applications and would require safeguards/mitigations just as it is in Diesel engines.

Another issue is that the whole concept of green ammonia relies on having sufficient green hydrogen feedstock to produce it with in the first place.

The Jira Cloud iPad app does not appear in the App Store. Apps can opt out from the macOS App Store, and this is especially useful if there already is a macOS version. Why? Generally, any macOS version of an app -- even one like Jira which is nearly a straight port of the iOS app -- is 10x better than the iOS version. Running iOS apps on the M1 is a lot rougher around the edges compared to running Intel apps on the M1. I expect Apple will polish up how iOS apps run on macOS in future releases, if they maintain the feature in its current form.

MECC was the organization that introduced me to computers. It was an HP 2000C timesharing system that could only be programmed in BASIC. I never used Oregon Trail but I did write my own game.

Yes, when I was using beeminder, I both set scheduled breaks and also got hit and got a break. I'd say the issue would be 50/50 planned/unplanned, but I didn't always plan appropriately so I got hit more often than scheduled.

I did use beeminder for 3-4 months at a time, with great benefit! But looking back at every goal I set, it starts slipping past the 3-4 month mark. I got similar results with other systems (like the Lights spreadsheet from ultraworking or keeping a journal in text files), although without the nice beeminder charts..

I'm not sure, do other people see these patterns with their goals? Are there any tricks for fighting this late slippage?
