You'll get ruined in US if you get cancer in your close family despite 'paying for healthcare' all your life.

In my uncharitable opinion US is good for earning money as a young, highly educated person and for nothing else.

So go there when you are around 25, work your ass off at whoever pays the most for your skillset, spend as little as possible and bail before 35. Later you're screwed. You'll still make more and more there but the money is going to be useless.

How to Create a Timeline to Track Your Achievements
Agreed. I've done both and if you ask me Windows ops is vastly more difficult because everything is brittle, inconsistent and unreliable and rarely repeatable almost all of the time. It requires great skill, determination and persistence to navigate issues like this. Unfortunately as you suggest, the outcome is hiring as cheap as possible and fixing all issues by not changing anything other than replacing everything every few years. There is rarely any day to day admin I see other than planning the next major rollout with some vain hope it'll have less problems than the last one.
The most comical example of this the moving goalposts is Kurzweil's scores of his own predictions in 2010.

> 12. Communication | Haptics let people touch and feel remotely

PREDICTION: Haptic technologies are emerging that allow people to touch and feel objects and other persons at a distance.

ACCURACY: Correct

He basically interpreted his prediction to mean touch screens and some vaporware demo videos or blog posts.

His predictions are often technically a possibility but make virtually no impact on how society functions

I really dislike the idea of declarative infrastructure. It's literally a program that is designed to do one thing, but will change a million things in order to do that one thing. It's Configuration Management for Infrastructure. Yet so many people have this idea that it's something else, like it's supposedly simpler or more effective.

Saying I want an S3 bucket named "foo" is the same as

aws s3 list-buckets | grep "foo" || aws s3 create-bucket --bucket "foo"

Did I need a big fat declarative infrastructure system to make that? No. But people want more complexity and features, and they want to make it look simple. So they write big fat applications and libraries to do that. The idea that there's some inherently superior difference of "declarative programming" over "regular programming" is giving people the idea that wrapping everything up in interfaces somehow removes the complexity, or somehow ends up in a better program.
> Are you sure?

Yes.

> This department of labor letter seems to state otherwise

That letter doesn't deal with even the question of what effects the status of exempt employees, since it deals with rules applicable to, and I quote from the letter itself, “salaried non-exempt employees.”

Even so, while it finds the specific conduct being addressed was prohibited, it articulates a rule similar to the one I discuss for exempt employees subject to the salary basis test, stating that, “an employer may take a disciplinary deduction from an employee’s salary for willful
absences or tardiness or for infractions of major work rules.”
It's a wonderful film, and the book it is based off of is also wonderful [1].

FWIW, both the film and the book take place north of Vladivostok in the Sikhote-Alin Mountain range and along the coast of the Sea of Japan. It reminded me of the Pacific North West in the USA and Canada, but it was just foreign enough and a little bit different to make it seem incredibly magical. For example, you would have brown bears and eagles, but you might also see Siberian Tigers. You could meet an indigenous hunter, like Derzu Uzala, but you could also meet Russians, Chinese, and Koreans. I second the recommendation for the film, and I'd also highly recommend the book.

Because the methods these shell companies employ to coordinate give off a greater signal in the 21st century datasets — going the personal identifier route, you’re able to target people based on personal affiliations. The goal is admirable — however, this act as a solution is hasty (opportunistic) and disguised itself as “protecting against (insert threat).”

Not really, no. Sort of.

I have a Mi Band 5, and wanted to use GadgetBridge instead of the official Mi Fit or Amazfit/Zepp app.

I was surprised to learn this was not easy to do. I needed to retrieve the Bluetooth MAC from the proprietary app via rooted app, or by logging in via script, which no layman would do.

The watch is now paired with GadgetBridge, but the steps are hard enough to dissuade anyone from trying it.

Also, yes you save much more, but when your mother has cancer and dad is disabled(As the author explains), realistically much more than what you save ends up being spent to take care of them and paying their medical bills.

Thanks for the information. After a bit of research I found this study from May 2020:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7257251/

> Artificial sweeteners are related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Microbiota dysbiosis as a novel potential mechanism

> Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a systemic and wide-spread disease characterized by accumulation of excess fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol. Artificial sweeteners (ASs) or sugar substitutes are food additives that provide a sweet taste, and are also known as low-calorie or non-calorie sweeteners. Recently people consume increasingly more ASs to reduce their calorie intake. Gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem where 1014 microorganisms play several roles in host nutrition, bone mineralization, immune system regulation, xenobiotics metabolism, proliferation of intestinal cells, and protection against pathogens. A disruption in composition of the normal microbiota is known as ‘gut dysbiosis’ which may adversely affect body metabolism. It has recently been suggested that dysbiosis may contribute to the occurrence of NAFLD. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of ASs on the risk of NAFLD. The focus of this review is on microbiota changes and dysbiosis. Increasing evidence shows that ASs have a potential role in microbiota alteration and dysbiosis. We speculate that increased consumption of ASs can further raise the prevalence of NAFLD. However, further human studies are needed to determine this relationship definitively.

> I cannot believe that I am smitten by Rust within an hour

This has been my, and a lot of my colleagues', experience with Rust. Never have I seen people fall in love with a programming language so strongly. And the love lasts for a long time.
I feel strongly that we’re at the point where one can’t think of Facebook and be ignorant of the problems and the clear abusive practices they have and continue to be engaged in. Every time they get caught they feint an apology and proceed to either ignore the issue, continue that same practice but in a different way, or engage in some new abusive scheme. It is foundational to them because it is fundamentally part of Mark Zuckerberg’s ethics, or lack there of as the case appears to be.

So... in my opinion anyone going to work for Facebook, or continuing to work for them is no different than someone doing the same at a tobacco company. They know what is going on at those organizations and they are choosing to look the other way. That in and of itself is not illegal, of course, but they can’t cry foul when they get accused of doing immoral and unethical things while employed there.
The same reason it always goes up. Supply < Demand.
I took out the money on loss which was stuck in from last 3 years. Better have something than nothing. Idea of trading is only worth doing if done as a full time job.

As a currency, I don't want to use a currency which goes up and down like all these.
So you don’t have any investments? What a weird hill to die on
That's ~1300 calories - seems reasonable for a meal.
You can't. It could actually be a paid shill or a customer who really bought into the marketing or a troll. It's best if you seek another alternative.
I found the Rust book to be anything but tedious, as a seasoned programmer. As I read it, it made me want to cry thinking back on past bugs and issues that I had dealt with that the language had been designed to prevent.

It made me think of the days and weeks of debugging that I wouldn’t have needed to do, had Rust existed.
I’m not sure how this answers the question. How is it hasty when the problem is decades old?

Grandstanding about transferring all his wealth for tax purposes under the guise of it being "charity", obnoxious attempts to man-in-the-middle most of India's internet connectivity, screwing over users with "privacy zuckering" that causes settings to revert, etc.

The joy of my life was seeing Zuckerberg getting absolutely owned on his own Facebook page by thousands and thousands of Indian people who wanted nothing to do with his money-grubbing initiatives.
Historically low interest rates, QE, huge deficits. Same reason the stock market and real estate are going up as the economy tanks from a pandemic. Finance is completely decoupled from reality at this point. It’s like a big MMO.

or the forks continue divided and a exchange value begins to form between them ... if one side of the partition has been less productive then the value eventually transfers to the other fork and the mining gradually slows down and continues or stops at sometime.

By the way how well do you think the other monetary systems will fair under such conditions you describe?

Last time it happened in Egypt, the government was overthrown and the leader had to resign.

With Bitcoin, you have to shoot all the Bitcoin satellites _and_ stop the internet to do what you propose.
Money quote: "Another way of thinking about this is that proximate causes (the cause immediately preceding an event) are easier to reason about than remote causes (causes that are further away from the event at question, but that contribute through the chain of causality). Remote causes are often complex and intertwined with a huge number of factors (think: the Fed raising the interest rate, and affecting the whole economy in one fell swoop); proximate causes are simpler to think about. And so it is usually more effective to focus on proximate causes, because any change in the macro-environment that will affect you will likely show up as a proximate cause first. The way I like to think about this is that remote causes are akin to the interactions of water molecules in a vapour cloud — you’ll have to spend a huge amount of analytical power to figure out if they’ll ultimately affect your windows. The effective person won’t bother with any of that; they would instead watch for the movement of water droplets on glass."

This goes somewhat against the grain with current-popular second-order thinking - when you try to take into account unintended consequences - but this article argues that it is more important to pay attention to immediate causes and environment, to solve the right problem.
Disagree on the cost of living point. London and Dublin are comparable to a lot of major US cities yet wages are much lower than these cities.

Even Canada pays better than a lot of European cities when you factor in COL between say Toronto and London.
Surely faster means higher speed, and speed is something per time unit, e.g. miles per hour, or number of scans per second.

At least for me 100% faster does not mean the same as 100% less time was needed.
I mean, why not do that?

I tried WSL because I thought it would be faster than a heavyweight VM. Turned out it's dog slow in comparison.

Honestly don't see a use for it.
What do you think her fears are, and why are they unfounded?

I understood her primary point as being about inequality and justice: "I don't wanna make 250k while most people work three jobs"
the better question is in what currency will coinbase (or) similar successors be priced in?
Most of the value gains of companies in the current economy occur before a company IPO's and shares are available to the general public. If regular people are to be able to invest successfully then they will need access to invest in those companies. The JOBS act tried to help facilitate this, but by making it easier for companies to wait to IPO, it seems to have just made it easier for accredited investors to reap the benefits of their special status for even longer periods of time. While this law may help with shutting down some corrupt entities, I fear it will prevent many new possible ways for normal people to invest in the last remaining sector of the economy producing any decent returns. Would an ETF of a large number of start-ups be allowed under this law?

Also, attaching a bunch of non related stuff to huge bills like defense appropriation is really an annoying to me, but I guess that is how the sausage gets made.
Price action is boring.

I'd rather see usecases for cryptocurrencies linked here, not the same article every time Bitcoin surges above an arbitrary number.
Sorry I’m not quite following. I understand if groups are isolated from each other we will have different forks of Bitcoin running around the world, but why would a fork disappear? Wouldn’t the separate partitions merge into one network again?
Do you say the same thing about stocks? You can make more money with less effort by investing, whether it's crypto, equities, bonds, real estate... (you can also lose a lot more, obviously.)
Ask HN: What are your New Years Resolutions. Inspire us
MCSE was a punchline 20 years ago so this is a misconception almost as old as the entire profession of Windows Admins.
Interest is at all time low in europe, and people are getting COVID cash. The ECB is also "creating" cash to ensure the euro is stable....

So if you have a lot of euros on your account not making any money, you either go to the stock market (Thats why its going up, especially the visible stock such as Tesla) and things like Bitcoin...

The problem is, at some point it will come back down again, and a lot of people will lose money.

Its all network effects, and people talking to each other about bitcoin and stocks and people jumping in... It starts to look like 1930 again.
Seeing Scala for the first time seemed this is what happens when Java marries Python.

I don’t get the obsession with fiber. Cramming as much fiber as you can into every meal makes eating a slog and makes it less likely you’ll be able to pack in all your daily macronutrients, because you’ll feel too full to eat.
Hasty (maybe I should say opportunistic) because it’s ideological reasoning to pass is capitalizing on the current zeitgeist (which I believe to be leaning more antithetical to the quote above). Again, the reason this bill is intriguing is because the problem can be solved through other methods - albeit more effortful. You don’t really need beneficial identifiers on these types of companies to get who’s doing bad things.
Tether has printed almost two billion fake dollars in the past month. Surely a coincidence.
Perhaps HN isn't the place for a one sentence comment that only has context if one has consumed a particular piece of media. At least enlighten us as to the origin of your quote after pointing out how they who replied to you did not catch the reference.
Thanks - that’s better than what I’d seen, definitely helps knowing that’s more of a possibility.
I mean, how do you quantify that? I’d love to see the study measuring USSR efficiency.
For anyone interested in learning more about the need for this, I strongly recommend Moneyland. It really does a good job leaning in on tension between (1) privacy, (2) liberty, and (3) Rule-of-Law.

All three of those are good things, but they also all step on each others toes.

Here's a taste:
Back in the 1960s, Swiss banks held money for Nazi war criminals, but they also held money for tax dodgers and for refugees. These groups of people all sought secrecy/privacy/confidentiality (delete as applicable), meaning the evil money washed around with the naughty money, which washed around with the scared money. All three groups of people benefited from those first eurobonds, because they provided an income on money that had previously been static, but not all three were advertised equally prominently.

Swiss banks loved to claim that their bank secrecy had been designed to protect Jewish wealth from Nazi confiscation, and kept quiet about all the dictators whose money they also hoarded, or the tax dodging they facilitated. In effect, the refugees were being used to run interference for the others, and to make the Swiss banks look high-minded, rather than like the criminogenic institutions that they were.

Swiss banks insisted that the reason they didn't want to reveal the details on their clients was because that would endanger the legitimate interests of people seeking protection from rapacious governments.
I see them posted on UpWork. I usually take the time to read them as they are quite entertaining
Regardless if the price keeps going up or it crashes again (if enough HODLers don't hold long enough and the industrial complex hasn't kept enough $ billions in reserve to counter when the rush of selling does come) - either way the "army of HODLers" will continue to grow to wait (spreading their positive propaganda they're financially incentivized to do like MLM members) until the next hoard of people get tricked or sucked into the hype - or consciously gamble and their greed is enough to take advantage of other people.

The Coinbase IPO will be a sign of if the people in control of the funds don't understand the complex at all - or they're simply trying to profit off of it not caring about the actual consequences and future outcome; dumb money from financial industrial complex (misaligned incentives due to fees based instead of long-term results based) buying into, perpetuating a global, decentralized Pyramid-Ponzi scheme - trying to legitimize itself by misappropriating terminology and working hard towards regulatory capture, legitimacy.

There's a transcript of an early story conference for Raiders of the Lost Ark, between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Larry Kasdan where they present and hammer out ideas for the movie. You can actually see what parts of the movie come from whom. What's striking to me are that Lucas has most of what we now know as Indy, with Spielberg mostly tossing in goofy gags--some of which made it and some which (thankfully) didn't.

https://moedred.livejournal.com/2009/03/04/

Older drafts (link from there) are also quite interesting.

An all-Lucas "Raiders" would have looked very similar to what we got, maybe just a bit more serious.

It's a microcontroller rather than an application chip - so the amount of RAM will always be significantly less. A really beefy high end microcontroller might have 1MB of internal RAM - and for most applications that's more than enough.
I don't think it needs to, since none of the above do, but that would definitely help at least in the enterprise
Surprise!

Nope. Correct behaviour is that the longest chain “wins”; all others disappear along with all their transactions.

> It always seemed strange to me that people would rather use WSL than the real thing when Windows doesn't bring much advantage.

Windows brings lots of advantage to some things (including interfacing with the large number of people who rely on people having software that works only or best on Windows; in anything other than very tech-focussed firms this probably includes your employer, and even in such firms it often includes your customers, which can matter a lot even in tech roles), and not switching between physical machines or rebooting between different tasks brings advantages.
