Of-course - I was just answering OP’s query about why they get occupation questions at the border - probably to help spot if they were a potential illegal migrant (no ties to home) or a smuggler’s mule (income doesn’t match journey type).

Why refactoring code is almost always better than rewriting it (2012)
>Consider: You are spending 90% of your wages on day to day expenses and there is 2% targetted inflation. You have lost a whopping ~20% of your margin of survival (100%-90% == 10% -> 100% - 91.8% ~ 8%). If you are spending 20% of your wages on day to day expenses and there is 2% targetted inflation, you have lost closer to 2% of your margin of survival. It's much easier to find lifestyle changes or, more likely, shift your investment balances that will keep you prospering in the "wealthy" situation.

Where do you think does the price rise come from? From magic pixie dust? It has to come from somewhere and since every service and good is the product of human labor that means any cost increase must derive from the scarcity of labor and thus increased income for workers.

In the past 5 years the US was one of the few countries that actually hit its 2% target inflation rate and guess what? It was one of the fastest growing first world economies both in terms of GDP and income for workers. It did not suffer because of the targeted inflation, it flourished because of it. The worst effects of inflation happen way beyond 5% and no country on earth wants that type of inflation. 2% is the best compromise between stability and change and it will always stay that way.

>And, before you say "wages keep up". No they don't, otherwise the policy of using inflation to prop up employment doesn't work via the policy mechanism. Definitionally.

Wages actually can't not keep up because by definition inflation happens when demand exceeds supply. Demand for consumer goods is by definition demand for the productive output of a worker. Buying that consumer good is directly paying the wage of a worker. If worker salaries consistently lag behind consumer price inflation then a competitor can just hire the cheap labor and undercut the incumbents and thereby reduce unemployment caused by "insufficient greed". I want to clarify that when I am talking about consumer inflation I am talking about demand side inflation.

Increased wages kill relative wealth and therefore for the wealthy the best thing that could happen for them is low consumer inflation or even deflation. Inflation forces them to actually invest their wealth to keep up with inflation and that investment must employ workers or otherwise it would not catch up with inflation. With deflation they don't need to do anything. You will get poorer every year automatically.

Economics is purely about setting the right incentives. Once you have set up the right system human greed alone will drive the economy to do the right thing. Unfortunately people hate greed because it screwed them, so they hate it even more when it doesn't screw them because that ruins their sense of justice (greed is always evil).
If the money lending business had the power to unilaterally raise the interest rate, wouldn't it have done so already?
A missing colour in the discussions around complexity today is the ever growing ambition for the problems we're all trying to solve. My grand unified profoundly unserious theory is that we're always going to complain about accidental complexity because we will keep discovering new reams of it by extending what we're trying to do out into the unknown parts.

If we continued to play in just the known parts of the problem space, we'd see it melt away further and further into Brooks' model of the world. Instead, we built distributed systems, we work in absolutely giant teams, we deploy to the strange heterogeneous runtime we call the web, etc etc, and all of that generates new complexities to abstract away before we get back to just the essential stuff.
Thank you. I was including futures promises in my mention of async/await because that's how I use them mostly. I couldn't remember where I got some confirmation about my understanding, but since found it in my bookmarks. It seems to me that Haskell programmers want to abstract away the machine and this makes me wonder how well this works with practical concerns of controlling the computer to make it work. I look forward to learning more:

4. Prohibition against the Use of ADS-B Out and Transponders

Is this a wise ruling? Rather than implementing rules based on existing standards that would allow all existing aircraft to see the drones location, something entirely new must be created?
IPv4 as deployed with NAT is more complex than IPv6. The most significant barriers to V6 adoption are, in this order:

1. It’s an entirely new network. IPv4 only hosts are not reachable on the IPv6 net. It replaces rather than extends IP, and I can’t figure out why they did that.

2. The addresses are too long to remember and easily type, and the encoding with its shortening rules is non-canonical and annoying to visually parse.

Extending V4 to 64 bits on top of the V4 space would have been a much better idea for multiple reasons. Every V4 becomes a /32 in a full /64. Using something like base32 addresses could have been kept to just barely type-able length.

People always push back on #2 with “use DNS.” I always wonder if these people have ever done IT or devops. You constantly type IPs in the real world and long V6 addresses are a huge annoyance.

Hello, throwaway account.

I worked for a company for a while, was offered stock options, bought the stock, left.

The company has been acquired and I`ve had a HUGE bundle of documents from the lawyers. I want to get my payout!

I`m totally lost as to what i need to do, are there any gotchas? Is there a time limit? The deal price is announced but hasn`t completed yet.

I'm in the UK but the company is in the US.

I suppose I should get legal advice but I don`t even know what kind of lawyer I could find would understand US corporate M&A law?

Any advice / things to read appreciated.

Gold was a collectors item also, and that was the fuel behind it being a currency for a thousand years.

Here is where switching from silver to meaningless metal in Roman currency was one of the big reasons for Rome's collapse. A currency backed up by something with "money printing disabled" is key to a currency not turning devalued over time.

It wasn't illegal; DNC is a private org and sets its own rules. Name someone who went to jail over the content of the emails?

The emails do demonstrate that the party game is rigged (i.e. parties have favorites and tilt the scales in their favor). That's not only legal, it's intended---the point of parties is to coalesce political power.

The GOP demonstrates why the DNC is set up to tilt scales. GOP has fewer mechanisms to filter the popular vote in the party than the DNC does, and as a result, there was no backstop to Candidate Trump.
That's the most uncharitable view, which is actually discouraged in HN's standards. Lets reasonably assume it was hyperbole, and a rational person would conclude it refers to those with a cultural-historical connection to the practice.
Hopefully this helps you

Counterpoint: Stephen Fry’s voice suddenly began narrating this entire for me around the third sentence. This probably biased everything else for me, but in my opinion, it’s exceedingly rare to find ~a complex~ any topic in IT discussed ~in depth~ at all in such well-written language as this post contains. I honestly don’t care if they were completely wrong; their tone invited thought and discussion (which is probably one reason it’s been posted several times, with decent discussion, to boot).
You're advocating free tuition? Yup, I'm 100% on board. [1]

However.

This episode is about the current proposals for patching up our current system. This following summary is so over generalized as to certainly be mostly wrong; so please just read it as indicative of the policy challenges:

Currently, each state runs their own higher education institutions (university, community colleges, voc tech, etc). The feds currently handle the student loans. (States and institutions also receive grants, research monies, etc. YMMV.)

In our future perfect free school system, feds would give money to the states to spend. Since the feds can't just tell states what to do, there may be some kind of carrot & stick arrangement, like how the highway funds were dispersed.

But that's no guarantee that state's will sign up or play nicely. For example, look at the spotty adoption of Medicare expansion. Some states declined FREE MONEY, which had very few strings, because of REASONS.

Which leads us back to today's Gordian knot. How do the feds design and implement a fair system which is strenuously opposed by some states and a lobby of the most powerful universities? The feds don't want to enable dysfunctional states who are screwing over their own students. The feds also want to avoid rewarding bad behavior, eg giving bad states the same deal as good states.

So right now it seems the best leverage the feds have is thru student loans. Hopefully our nation progresses to something more reasonable.

[1] I have no idea what free higher education would look like. I was pretty happy with my state's pre-Reagan funding model; not quite free, but still very generous. I do accept that students have to have some "skin in the game". Civil or military service leading to free education is great. And I also accept that just giving institutions money, no strings attached, leads to bad outcomes. So maybe a hybrid system; 50% state funded directly, 25% student funded (self or loans), and 25% vouchers (like charter schools). But I'm open to any reasonable, pragmatic system.
People value tools that do what they need to do over consistency, but that does not mean that they do not value consistency.
I'm also holding hopes that something will rise from the ashes of the Servo codebase. It's hateful to see something with promise go to waste.

In the EU the turn signals is mandated to be amber. In the US/CA, the turn signal can be either amber or red, but must be of a certain area. Other jurisdictions do not have an area regulation.

So OEMs simply make brake lights double as turn signals when they import vehicles.

If the non-US OEMs 'just' made bigger turn signals they wouldn't have to do this.
Stupid question, why would the adviser not just take a well performing index, invest into a fraction of the companies based on his own judgement and then just capture a larger fee? There is still an active management component but the risk has been minimized by not straying too far from what regular ETFs are doing.
What made/makes the U.S. unique is that it is/was founded not on allowing the will of the majority to dictate but rather on protecting and preserving the rights (freedoms and liberties) of the minority. The greatest minority is the individual. Just because >50% of the people will or want something does not mean that they and their government are not tyrannical. The majority can be wrong.

Google Maps the consumer product is far ahead of any competitors, but the Maps API lacks many features available in Google Maps (vector maps, 3d acceleration, real-time styling).

These feature disparities between the API & the consumer product were annoying at first, but now that the competitors to the Maps API all have had them for years they're simply baffling.

The iMac wasn’t even the first all in one Mac with multimedia capability. That would’ve been the Performa 5200CD, my first computer, which came out in 1995.

That, of course, is an evolution from the Mac Colour Classic which came out in early 1993 and had a built in mono speaker, but no CD-ROM drive. This being an evolution from the B&W compact Macs dating back to the original from 1984.

I believe this will be more important as the nature of work changes. In the short run, owing to more remote work as you say, and in the long-run, owing to jobs themselves being increasingly automated away.

Irl organizations surrounding particular interests do materialize as extensions of online enthusiasm (we see this for meetup groups) but this is still insufficient. What's missing is accessible infrastructure to facilitate new connections. For instance, there are today collaborative workspaces and makerspaces (or even University grounds): these can be a good spatial medium for meeting like-minded people. However, the cost of renting is a deterrent. So, that can be addressed in a myriad of ways. As a remote worker, prior to COVID, I'd periodically hit the coffee shops but this did not appear to be an appropriate medium for engaging others.

We are going about things backwards, because it was all we could do: create organizations surrounding particular subjects, then have people join in. In many cases people are surfing around these groups as a means to an end, they don't care the slightest about the subject but they need it as a medium to connect with others. Not only is this contrived, it can lead to friction between individuals who want to focus on the subject and others who want to go on tangents away from it. This problem disappears if you simply have a space where people can choose to mingle or focus on their projects. Historically, physical spaces like this were always important large communities. Now our socially acceptable avenues for engaging others we don't know include very loud pubs, just barely, sports complexes and the like.

Only arrays (the only generic type that predates Java 5) have this problem in Java, and for precisely this reason, modern Java practice avoids arrays in favor of other collection types. When real generics were introduced in Java 5, they used a design with proper variance that doesn't have this problem.

"free money" is very, very hard. Institutions will soak it up, leaving the price to the student exactly where it is. Because, markets (price levels settle where they bring the most profit).

I've seen it in 'incentives' to develop local railway-adjacent properties. City subsidized rents, but they just advertised 'premium' apartments and the rent is the same/higher than elsewhere. The developer pockets the incentive.

Lest we imagine that some institutions to lower their rates because of Fed support, that isn't happening now and rates are already well above what it takes to run a college.

I learn new things about IPv4 every day. Over the weekend there was an article about someone writing an IPv4 address parser and there were a couple of cases that were new to me.

One thing about "second system syndrome" that doesn't get talked about much is how the second system always has to take into account the unwritten rules from the first system, that the original designer didn't take into account. What was previously unspecified now becomes specified, and that increases the amount of text in the second system's specification. But, the complexity might not be as high -- it's just that you can read about it all in one place.
