> 4% inflation-adjusted returns aren’t going to turn a single contribution of $1,000 into $1,000,000 in anyone’s lifetime.

Of course it isn't and no one suggested that. A more realistic scenario is investing 1,000/month for 35 years at 5% adjusted returns IS $1,000,000, and isn't even capping the maximum 401k limits.

I agree with you that this isn't possible when you're not employed or otherwise disadvantaged though.
Dave Nanian’s SuperDuper is a superb tool and as an independent developer his responsiveness to questions and his resourcefulness under Mac OS X and macOS is inspiring.

Apple is making a lot of unpredictable moves in the name of security and a lot of uncertainty now surrounds the future of bootable backups as protection against catastrophic data loss and/or transformation.

It’s good to see SuperDuper have a partial path forward. I’m crossing fingers Apple will be able to reshape its security paradigm while enabling third-party backup software to create bootable backups for Apple Silicon machines.

You're quoting the first part of that article, but ignoring the entire conclusion - she was a willing enabler of the genocide.

"But now that the military establishment has moved to accommodate the Burmese pro-democracy movements in the country, oppression of so-called Muslim foreigners like the supposedly Bengali Rohingya is perfectly acceptable along the path toward building an exclusionary Buddhist nation-state."
It was also a much bigger problem. Trillions, not billions, due to all the leverage they used.

Ask HN: Decade-long plan to FIRE starting just under age 40?
I'm trying to get some idea at how old is usually the target for financial independence and how much does it actually depend on your current age if you haven't started your investments yet.

Currently I'm 38yo, out of work and my net worth is just under $1k. So I know the first step is simply to get employed for stable income- I don't have the mindset to run a business. I also don't know many people in high or low places- I like to keep to myself whatever chance I get.

But regardless, is a 10 year plan from zero to FIRE feasible? Can people still FIRE under 50 if they started their financial plan just before 40?

It makes sense, especially if workers are on a project in a residential area. I've heard of drunk people being threatened with the sex offender list when they were caught urinating on a bush after dark. People might take drastic steps if strange men are urinating in the lawn adjacent to where their kids are playing.
The same way we have curtailed corporations abusing humanity in the past, regulation and oversight.
Long comment ahead. TLDR: This is a really good point; I'll need some time to think about this issue, and might even make a follow-up to my WhatsApp blog entry addressing it.

---

It looks like there are two ways this can happen: 1) transformation and 2) migration.

1. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish: keep adding proprietary bits on top of the protocol until everyone's using what is essentially a proprietary platform.

2. A full migration. This is what happened to IM platforms that were once built atop Jabber/XMPP, like Google Talk.

I think the best way to keep this from happening is to make the open protocol robust enough to cover others' needs, and to get a large user base using different compliant client/server implementations to connect with each other. This is what's keeping Google's grip on email from growing more than it already has, and what prevented Microsoft from doing an EEE on the Web through Internet Explorer.

When diversity drops, an open platform can grow closed and allow domestication. Independent email providers must reckon with Google's spam filters, and non-Chromium browsers (Gecko-based, and to a lesser extend, Webkit-based browsers) are often treated as second-class citizens.

I might expand this into a follow-up article. While this article was an attempt at raising awareness and getting people to change their decision-making process when choosing platforms, my next article could be a call to action in which I encourage technical users to try clients/servers outside the mainstream and recommend good ones to their friends/families.

Thanks for your feedback, and for possibly inspiring my next post.
People always assume either there would be high-velocity development or high-scalability architecture. In theory, this would be correct at the end of the day. But in fact, we're far from that equilibrium. For example, here we have these two major players:

Ruby: High-velocity development; Decisions have been made so you don't need to make them; Suffer from scalability issues both performance-wise and architecturally in the endgame.

Java: Much slower development; Could be fast if correctly architected, but doomed as well if done wrong; Require a hell of infrastructures to work well.

But you can also find some superstars among the minor players without many trade-offs, for example:

Elixir: Development velocity and decision-wise are very close to Ruby; Performance is on-par or faster than Java without decisions; Messaging and cache already baked-in the language and tech stack though you don't need them in the beginning; Hire Ruby programmers and just start rollin'
Not arguing rationality. Just arguing that it’s too small for the Fed to care. 14 billion on one stock doesn’t tank the market. Tesla or Apple can move the market that much on one earnings announcement.

>Also good luck doing anything with my current phone. After long enough being unable to find a reasonable phone that had 600MHz support, an SD card, and rootability, I gave up and got a samsung. The bootloader won't allow anything.

I did a bunch of research as well, and recently bought a Motorola Edge[0] (not Edge+) which has pretty much everything you mentioned, including support for up to a 1TB SD card.

I haven't rooted it yet, but I should have no problem doing so if/when I decide to do so (when I require a feature I don't have and/or Motorola stops upgrading the OS).

Samsung says[1] there shouldn't be a problem with locking/unlocking the bootloader.

And other sites[2] confirm this for newer Samsung phones.

What's more, there's additional development work[3] on bypassing Safety Net as well.

Even more, moving away from Play Services and installing MicroG[4] addresses the issue as well.

I don't even own a Samsung phone and I found all this out in less than five minutes. I can understand if you don't want to put in the time and effort, but just saying it doesn't work (N.B., you didn't mention the specific Samsung model you have which may complicate things, but none of the info I've seen -- including Samsung's docs -- say that the bootloader can't be unlocked/relocked) when there's ample evidence that most (if not all) Samsung devices can be unlocked/rooted/relocked and still pass safety net checks.

Besides, even if you don't root the device, installing a custom recovery partition will allow nandroid backups[5], which are clearly superior to other backup mechanisms.

Regardless, I hope you get/have the features and performance you desire, and are able to keep using your device long after Samsung stops supporting it (my HTC stopped getting updates with KitKat/4.4 in 2015, but I've continued to update it and currently run LineageOS 17.1/AndroidQ on it), as there's no reason to buy a new phone as long as you can run recent software versions.

In fact, the only reason I purchased a new device was for VoLTE[6] support, which the HTC OneMax doesn't have.

I wish you many years of quality use from your device.

that's correct - we actually don't manually write the kafka api, but we codegenerate it: https://github.com/vectorizedio/redpanda/blob/dev/src/v/kafk...

the tl;dr is that we wrote a pretty fast fragmented buffer parser (due to our thread-per-core design), we consume some json files and codegen it.... which basically means, if you connect an existing app that uses the kafka driver and it doesn't work it's a bug, and it's a matter of teaching the codegen to fix it most of the time. Transactions should land in the next month or so, which is the only thing really missing today.

we have a ton of solo devs typically that come from the Go, Rust, JS & Python seem to like it quite a bit because of what you said.

The thing that moved the share price up was simple supply and demand.

From what I've read the short sellers had taken a short interest that exceeded 100% of the available GameStop shares.

But remember these are short sellers are selling something they don't yet own.

They are selling a promise to sell shares at some time in the future for given price.

When that future date turns up the they are forced into the market to buy shares at what ever price just so they can full fill their original promise to sell shares.

They have no choice in this as it was the contract they signed.

Now because shareholders weren't prepared to sell, that created massive buying pressure which then drove up the price.

I suspect where reddit played it's part is they spread the word that the shore sellers had taken up such a massive short position, adding to the buy pressure and effectively killing off any sell pressure, which then makes that short sell position even worse..

> I would recommend a SPOT or inReach as a your primary safety device with this as a (neat) backup. All they need is a line of sight to the sky which is much easier to do than either LoRA, VHF or HF.

I have quite a bit of experience with both, and wouldn't recommend either as a primary safety device. PLBs are far better.

SPOT is based on Globalstar, which leaves one without coverage in many areas. I also found it to be incredibly flaky even in areas of allegedly great coverage with a totally open sky.

inReach is vastly more reliable, and with global coverage, so if I was buying one for a (secondary) safety that would be the easy winner of the two. It also has the added benefit of bringing a convenience that PLBs don't, as one can grab weather updates and easily text others for information.

That said, it's not difficult to get into a situation where terrain makes quick satellite acquisition very difficult, and one could wait hours for a message to get out. PLBs are much more reliable in adverse situations (N-S slot canyons), have higher power output than satellite messengers, and are generally built to higher standards. They also don't require a monthly fee.

A legitimate PLB would give one more paths to a swift rescue, especially if SAR aircraft are already up and looking for you.

As an example, if testing a 'send' function that takes a sender, content/media type, and recipients where recipients can be a single contact or a group, one shouldn't have to check that all combinations of content/media-type works with single or group recipients and other variable option variables. If decomposed in orthogonal ways K+L+N+M tests and perhaps a handful overall edge cases should do and not KxLxNxM if each variable dimension has K, L, N, M possibilities. If not cleanly separated in the implementation structure, the cross product of test cases are needed.

Sure. But if the choice is NixOS alone or NixOS hosted by Bedrock, then NixOS has a pile of advantages which Bedrock would nullify, chief among them being the ability to atomically upgrade and rollback the entire userland, service configuration, and kernel. These are non-trivial goals of NixOS.

Big Sur on M1 hardware behaves extremely differently from Big Sur on Intel hardware. The last part of the original post pertains to M1 hardware requiring the contents of the disk even though booting from external usb drives.

As far as I know, there are NO hackintosh arm64 macs (ie running Big Sur on a Graviton2 instance or ARM Neoverse N1 dev kit, for example), so be aware of who/what you are reading, caveat emptor, etc applies both ways, to what you are reading from the Hackintosh community as well.

GrubHub and DoorDash are adversarial extractive operations, and it is not in the best interest of any restaurant to deliver through them. They already squeeze all or most of the profit out of anything they pickup and deliver.

Sadly, many restaurants don’t have a choice, in these days of COVID-19. They work with GrubHub and DoorDash at zero profit or even a loss, or they go completely out of business. Those are the only two options.

So, it’s no wonder that the restaurants wouldn’t want to provide bathroom facilities for the drivers.

Uber is just as bad (or worse), but they’re in a slightly different line of business, unless you’re talking about UberEats.

Spotify would do better to get back to basics on song suggestion instead of trying to guess emotional state - Pandora still finds similar songs by musical elements better than Spotify. A good example to try is to select a song that is out of genre for an artist - an acoustic version of a song that usually doesn't do acoustic for example. The suggestions for similar songs from Spotify all have to do with the artist genre not the actual song.

I dunno... I have like a 50% success rate between DFU, UF2, and whatever the Arduino IDE does (varies by chip). Meanwhile, SWD/JTAG works for me 100% of the time, and is faster. I wouldn't use anything else.

The downside is that it requires $6 in hardware (or $20 if you splurge on a J-LINK EDU) and so I guess it takes quite a few encounters with "60 seconds of poking around at reset buttons frantically for what should have been a 1 second operation" before that $6 is worth it. GDB on your microcontroller code is also occasionally useful. I think hobbyists should just give up on stuff designed to "make it easy" (but only works half the time) and use the tools that people use for their day jobs, especially when it's only a few dollars investment.
Meh. I read the article, and I agree with it. But that is not what you are saying.

Don’t use it for relational data. Don’t use it as your primary data store.

At the enterprise I work at, I’ve had success delivering features where data science would have some job that aggregates production data and dumps it to kafka. Then we’ll map it and dump it in mongo. Stick a .net core microservice on top for retrieval. Works great, has none of the problems mentioned in that article. Of course, this might not make sense if you’re not big enough to where you need kafka, kubernetes, etc

But “Never use it” is certainly not good advice.

Link is dead, seems like their servers got hugged hard.
It’s not so much the ads that are the problem, I think. Its the data collected and the content promoted so you see those ads.

Facebook sows discord because people are more engaged. They collect data to know exactly what makes you furious and keep screaming.

It’s interesting actually that Facebook could make gobs of money by not trying to optimize for engagement and just let people naturally follow all their friends and family and waste time. All this extra harm is caused for just an extra few percent on top of a pile of money.
I think there's some confusion in English between 泡沫紅茶 (literally bubble tea) and 珍珠奶茶 (pearl milk tea or boba), because the words bubble and boba sound quite similar, particularly for someone speaking English as a second language. The tapioca pearls even look a little like bubbles.

Often bubble and boba are used interchangeably now, but I think they originally referred to two different types of tea-based drink, as the Chinese-language names still do. The same shop often sells both types of drink, so this inevitably adds to the confusion.

If Robinhood wants to play in this game they need to have deep enough pockets to cover unanticipated events. "We can't both pay our bills and provide you with service at the same time" isn't a great sales pitch.

So the record we have right now is that Robinhood can't keep their servers running on high volatility days (see early 2020) and they can't cover their collateral obligations on high volatility stocks, basically the exact times that people will want to be using their service.

In all the long-distance traveling my wife and I have done over the past twenty years here in the US, we quickly got into the habit of locating every McDonalds and Starbucks anywhere close to the route we would be taking.

The problem came when Starbucks started opening “stores” inside of Target. Those were really hard to detect in the app, and Target bathrooms are not nearly so nice.

Only if you learn to permanently live as a miser. You might have acquired the skill by necessity, but it takes a strong will to keep it up once you have income flowing.
