That doing good is a deliberate act: I have 'decided' to be a better son, a better bother, a better friend, a better lover, a better human than I were the day before.

This made it that even though my lifestyle is so much different than my family's and that of most of society, we still get along on a deeper level.

Deciding to have the hard conversations. Some ten minute conversations have had the highest 'return on investment'.

Deciding to always aim at the meta-thing right after I have the thing. One specific example is asking a question on the #python IRC channel years ago about a library and receiving an answer from someone who's never used it, immediately thanking them and asking how they did to find the answer. That process was much more valuable to me, because I could use it on other things [they did a git grep on the repo].

Deciding to use money as an instrument for myself and others. I mostly buy time and experiences. I did it when I was in highschool and continue to do so now.

How much time will you spend writing custom solutions? Why would you focus on anything other than your core businesses? Why would you want to maintain servers and OSS that has nothing to do with your core businesses? I don't think doing everything yourself just to save $200/month always pays off.
>Seems like heat isn't an issue, so can they increase the clock-speed of the M1?

They are running into their current node limits, so dont expect a 4Ghz+ coming unless they decide to remake the whole thing in High Performance Node. ( Which means it will cost a lot more for a relatively niche volume.)

>I wonder if they can make a 4xGPU

GPU increase should be given, and die size / yield would not be a concern / problem. The question is how will they handle the additional memory bandwidth requirement? As you can see in the Die-Shots those DDR I/O side are already take up much of the side space. Going with HBM2? Or LPDDR5?

>32xcore M1-family CPU, but I imagine the yield of such a beast would be horrible,

A 32x CPU / GPU Core M1 will only be 4x increase from its current form. If you exclude I/O part, the CPU + GPU + Cache is only a little more than 50% of die size, or ~60mm2. 4x That is only 240mm2+. The final product would be a sub 350mm2 if you include all the additional. Which is roughly inline with the current estimate of AWS Graviton 2 die size ( ~400mm2).

But yes, M1 ( A14X ) isn't really that interesting. The most exciting part is how they will go about doing high performance chip. Especially on iMac and Mac Pro.

Not OP, but it is used in the expanse: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheExpanse/comments/2v9ej6/tightbea...
The US has some reciprocity in terms of information flow in the original FATCA agreement. The US (and US banks) does not comply.

Many countries would need information flow about their former or current tax residents to enforce tax obligations, similar to the information the EU banks report to the IRS about US persons. E.g. several EU countries have an exit tax on worldwide income and they would need the reporting from US banks to enforce it.

At the point this is also a competitivity issue for the EU to attract talent and capital. Coming to the EU after having been a US person (citizen or green card) is such a hassle for banking and to manage stock investments in the $100,000s. Just so much pain in terms of paperwork and tax uncertainty that staying in the US and not coming back to the EU solves a lot of hassle.
I find it so weird that this is written by Huk, since I would have expected a lot more well thought opinions from somebody who admittedly once was one of the best non-koreans.

I'm truly shocked that he just describes the economy as too simplistic only because it has just 2 types of resources.

I don't get the comments on APM, since "playing faster" isn't a function of "my fingers don't have strong enough muscles" but much more "how much processes can you handle subconsciously or purely on muscle memory".

Also I really liked day[9]'s take on it that Starcraft focuses on Real time aspect of RTS instead of the strategy aspect (while that also goes incredibly deep!).

But let's face it, 1v1 esports is dead. Nobody enjoys mechanical heavy games anymore and that sucks!:<

Give a world where the top esports would be any starcraft, an arena fps like quake/diaboticals and GunZ and I would be happy.

I am not sure what's your motivation of continue this motivation analysis on my feeling towards brutality.

I am always frustrated by the general skeptics applied on any comments where China and/or Chinese people were painted as the victim.

Doesn't it appear universal that feelings of people because of recent historical events should be respected?

To answer your question again, WWII is the most recent historical events... Of course people are going to have fresher memory of them. If people apply same emotional response to all historical events, USA should have a civil between Indian, African Americans, White, and Mexican people all the time.

Why such self-evident rationale automatically excluded from anything related to China/Chinese people? Was this racism? I cannot find any other execute...

Ask HN: How does your team share OTPs?
Previously I assumed that for most platforms sharing accounts (and OTPs) was some sort of TOS violation and wouldn't take place in a corporate setting. I have since become aware that sharing OTPs within a company or team is fairly commonplace, and sometimes involves very creative solutions. Does this happen at your company/team, and what solutions do you use?
Not sure why the downvote. It's at best complete speculation on this guy's part and realistically it seems like it just isn't true.

They’re not a bad and horrible idea. I never once said that. Micro kernels are, in my opinion, the future of OS development because they offer a bunch of guarantees which are much harder to achieve with a monolithic kernel (like memory safety, stability (eg a segfault in a driver doesn’t bring down the entire kernel) and so on and so forth.

The problem worth micro kernels is that abstraction isn’t free. That’s less of an issue with modern hardware running modern work loads because you’d need to put that memory safety in regardless of the kernel architecture and chips these days are fast enough that the benefits of security and safety far far outweigh the deminishing cost in performance. However on the N64 you don’t need any of the benefits that a micro kernel offers while you do need to preserve as many clock cycles as you can. So a micro kernel isn’t well suited for that specific domain. The case would be different again for any modern low footprint hardware because they’d still be running on CPUs clocked at an order of magnitude more and modern embedded system might need to take security or stability concerns more seriously than an air gapped 90s game console.

In short, micro kernels are the future but the N64, being a retro system, needs an approach from the past.

This is why it doesn’t help how modern and 90s hardware have been conflated as equivalent throughout this discussion.

> The reason you're wrong is that high earners are usually not actively producing things.

I don’t know what background you are coming from, but rest assured that most high earners do produce significant value. Lawyers, doctors, software engineers, architects, the list could go on an on. To be sure, some people might make money in zero sum activities, and some might exploit information asymmetries to charge significantly more than their services would be worth in perfect information scenarios. But, by and large, high earners (defined as, say, top 5% of wage workers) most definitely do provide value, in excess of what they are actually paid. It is simply hard for millions of people to convince others to give them more money than they services are worth.

> Or, another way to look at it. (...)

I don’t actually understand your argument in this sections. Most good advice on getting rich is not focusing on “passive income”. Instead, it focuses on investment and on providing value by entrepreneurship. People talking about “passive income” usually mean by it a kind of investment that produces returns with little to no labor input required. Given the low cost of capital today, such investments don’t usually provide high returns, and so are highly unlikely to make one rich. They can provide nice income, to be sure, but that requires becoming rich in the first place.

Drawing a syringe can also mean pulling the plunger back to fill it. I was really confused for a second.
Yeah, my example had none of that stuff.

It was a place where people were made to feel welcome, got listened to, were trusted, cared about and helped each other, were free to be themselves, could freely and honestly express their opinions to execs without repercussions etc.

People were given chances to grow into new roles, and their knowledge from the previous ones was valued (no roles were looked down on). It had the right amount of management (not too much, not too little), and they took good management seriously as something to empower people rather than control them.

A lot of it was built from the ground up rather than imposed from above, and there was not a lot of money thrown at it.

All that can be destroyed much faster than it can be built.

Exactly. Companies that have terrible culture project the need for a good one to get out in front of the accusation that their leadership failed in actually establishing a good one.
Well.. I chose the simplest possible example. It has obvious benefits, and the only thing you have to figure out is to sacrifice some unknown other activity.

I wonder why "Less than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day; only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week." (https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/resource-center/facts-and-statis....) happens?

The answer is that there are so many other things that can stand between "desire drives you" and reality. Just to give you several examples: financial needs, physical or mental health issues, other priorities (kids, family, friendship, etc).

BTW. I am not saying that change is impossible. However, I am not buying "You're on the cusp". Over time you accumulate priorities, which you got by sacrificing a lot 5-10-15-20 years ago. These priorities are dear to your hard. Sacrificing (or even chipping away) from them is way harder than when you are a blank slate.

There's a definite difference between blame and cause, and they don't conflict. Blame is for individuals, cause is for systems. While you do need to hold individuals accountable, most of the time you should focus on fixing the system, which is a much more durable fix.
anecdotally, founders tend to spend the entire beginning not listening to others and trusting themselves and their vision. As they gain steam, they are surrounded by true believers...and dissenters don't stick around for long. As you make more and more calls, the only thing that matters is success. Of the success continues, one falsely gains a sense of divine decision making ability, reinforced by all the naysayers that are wrong. Then, you just have all the hangers-on that want a piece and they'll say and do whatever you want.

That's a dangerous sequence of events that can lead to narcissism and sociopathy.

Whenever I have a personal epiphany, I tend to record a quick vocal note of it. Recently I've been kind of thinking you should only get involved with people who are going to add to your equation. For example last year I had the pleasure of knowing someone who made around 200k. Within a year of meeting her I was also making 200k. compared to getting involved with someone who doesn't have a job, and therefore your life turns into chaos.
We tend to call them “memes” here, since they affect protagonists and background characters alike.

Anyway, I got it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25552418 – but I don't think populism means “pull the ladder up”; rather, somebody observed that a lot of US populism at the moment is of the “why support any policy that doesn't directly benefit yourself?” variety.

Edit: Though there might be a little Baader-Meinhof in it, now that I think about it. There's no reason people shouldn't've been describing this aspect of US populism before.
Ok, so FAA has exceptions, i am not from US so wasn't sure about that because when FPV got popular my local ancient regulation basically said that pilot must maintain visual contact (VLOS only) and even now the latest unified EU drone regulation is kinda shit because you must have a spotter. Realistically speaking - what kind of other random aircraft are going to be up to 120m/400ft or around trees/obstacles when flying a racing drone? I bet it is zero. I am not disputing the fact that there are situations when all the precaution is needed but the fact that you are breaking the law when you are flying your FPV racing drone alone between/above trees alone in a private forest is a bit unsettling (at least based on the latest unified EU drone regulation).

Amid a crushing pandemic, this party van is a lifeline for CA farmworkers
I've been running homemade HVAC control for 12 years now. A few points:

1. Have "can't fail" safeties. In my case, that's the existing thermostat in parallel with the relay (so that the house can't freeze up if my system fails) and a second extra thermostat in series with it (so that if it fails stuck on, things won't overheat too badly). The second safety thermostat can be out of the way, like in the basement.

2. Assuming you live in a northern area and have a furnace that's less than a decade old, it may well be a two-stage (i.e. high and low heat mode) one set up for autostaging (run on low for 5 minutes, then fire up full blast) because the installers were too lazy to fish the extra wire to run a proper 2-stage thermostat. My homemade system has a 0.3 degree Celsius difference between the low and high stage cut-in, plus some hysteresis to avoid short cycling, and it keeps the temperature wonderfully stable (within 0.2 degrees of the set point) with the furnace only ever switching to high if you turn up the temperature (on the very most brutally cold winter days it might run almost continuously on low). At least here in Canada, installers have to leave the technical manual with the furnace, so you know which DIP switch or jumper to change to disable autostaging.

3. Mechanical thermostats have something called an "anticipator" which slightly warms the sensing element as the furnace runs, so it tends to turn off below the set point. This is to avoid overshoot. Digital thermostats do it in software by pulse width modulating the furnace enable as the temperature nears the set point. In my case it's completely unnecessary to code this up - I guess the thermostat location is just perfect - but if you do get overshoot, just simulate it in software.

4. AC units can be damaged by short-cycling and sure enough an early version of my system had a bug that caused this. Luckily I noticed right away. Now it's full of safeties like minimum run and rest times and probably much more conservative than a real thermostat. Longer AC run times are better for dehumidification anyway. I also enforce minimum run times on the furnace.
To kickoff my own post, solutions I've seen include:

- Using a Google Voice phone number to receive codes and forward them to an email list.

- Using a texting SasS to receive codes (the SaaS, of course, can't require 2FA itself otherwise you're in a pickle)

- DMing the account owner on Slack

- Saving the TOTP key in a password manager

Most of these solutions seem to defeat the purpose of 2FA in the first place.
