I generally agree with your comment. However, retirees should want rates to rise. As you age, you want less of your money in more risky assets like the stock market. You want your money in CDs, money market accounts, and bonds. You want these safer instruments to pay a decent interest rate (say 5%) and not 1%.

However, as you point out, rates have been low for a long time. This has caused retirees and people approaching retirement to invest in riskier assets. They have been forced into a loser’s game. That’s going to cause a lot of pain if we get a massive correction.

Those of us who have time to recover from a correction will be OK. Those who lose 50% of their assets in a correction, and don’t have the time to make that up, are going to have their lives turned upside down.
Innovation happened before patents and it's happening fine in industries without monopoly protections, such as food and clothing. There you need innovation And fair prices And good service And availability. You can't just hide behind a protection, extract economic rent and keep everyone else out.

Also countries without strong rigorous patent protections are swiftly outmanoeuvring those with protections.

When copyrights were extended in 1976 and 1998 for example, there was no measurable effect to the amount of copyrighted works being produced. If the incentivize hypothesis held, there should be a measurable increase in the velocity of copyrighted works pivoting on the dates of those extensions. No such increase was observed. Where is the data to back up the claim? There is none.

So the incentivization hypothesis is not only disputed by evidence but also lacks any supporting evidence, so it's incorrect. It's a testable hypothesis that's been tested.

It doesn't exist, no matter how much you close your eyes and think it's true, it's simply not real. Patents and protections simply do not incentivize innovation, the evidence suggests they stifle and hamper it.

No amount of fundamentalist dogma

Hey anon, I feel for you, and most of the answers here are giving you a 12-month plan when you need a 1-month plan.

If you know Linux well enough to configure Wordpress, how about tech support for a hosting company? Try making some short email approaches to old-school hosting companies (I used to run one). They might be flexible enough to take a chance depending on how confident your approach is.

They have lots of customers bashing away at Linux, making mistakes, often without the patience to see their own problems through. Their business problem is that these customers need hand-holding but only pay a fixed, monthly fee. (the hope is eventually they stop asking and keep paying for years).

The combination you can offer those companies could be basic Linux knowledge (no need for advanced cloud stuff) and whatever flexibility you can offer them - especially if they're not in your time zone.

The larger ones might be a tall order, all listing locations by default (Gandi, Leaseweb, GoDaddy, Hetzner etc.), but maybe someone here will have an inside track.

I agree with other posters - never mention difficult circumstances in a job application, particularly a cold application. Just talk about how keen you are to solve their difficult customers' problems, how well you work in a team, and keep the initial approach brief.

Good luck! And please update us if you can.

Surely not an isolated incident, but music is one of the more homogenous industries out there.

All top country music stars move in the same circles, or highly overlapping circles, for example.

However, if you told me you were a top iOS developer in the tech industry, that gives me zero information about the circles you move in. You also have a long list of unrelated tech companies to choose from. You're not beholden to any one group of people for anything.

I basically agree that cities of a certain density are too dense for cars, but SF isn't really there. Though I would love for SF to remove the zoning thay causes it to be this way.

I think it's also worth considering that self-driving tech ia fully compatible with buses and that the driver is a big component of the cost of bus service, which limits bus frequency and constrains ridership.

Trains are great, but we're basically incapable of building them at reasonable cost in the US.
I can't tell if you offering this as something that's sane to do or not. I think you should absolutely be able to install the software you want in your lexus; the built-in software is often terrible (yes, including tesla).
I agree. So maybe we should improve it, instead of waiting a decade for rolling surveillance cameras to replace uber drivers, which is what I was suggesting
Thanks for data point. How is it interacting with the self-driving cars? I'm concerned that a lot of thought has gone into experience for the passenger of self driving car, but much less for the rest of general public. Feels like they missed an opportunity to improve driving experience for rest of us as well with some more signals or communication between vehicles.

I think this is only true if you have a family and want to live in the tech hub city (instead of a suburb). I'm a Vancouver-based developer who has consistently made about 25-40% less than the national median salary for people with my experience. I agree, the salaries aren't what they are in the U.S., and you certainly won't be buying a house in Vancouver any time soon, but I've made ends meet just fine. In Vancouver, at least, there's a trade-off with work-life balance. You make less than you would in the U.S., but work-life balance tends to skew more towards the "life" end (people taking off early for hikes or beach days is quite common at most companies).

Yes, I could make more if I worked a lot more, or worked in the U.S., but it's not worth it to me (as someone who doesn't want kids). When I'm employed, I still live a much more comfortable life than the majority of people in Vancouver, let alone globally.
Can someone explain this post? It reads like Greek to me.
> wanting to learn graphics programming

Can you be more specific about what graphics programming means to you?

Why get specific? It's an industry with dozens of specializations along the technical spectrum.
Rent-seeking means, roughly, trying to extract wealth without creating any wealth.

Creating and maintaining software that connects a person with a device to a driver with a device and routes them from point A (driver) => A' (person) => B (destination) isn't some trivial nothing that you can just rent-seek into existence. I believe 'wealth' was added to the economy that did not previously exist when people had to deal with hailing cab drivers, not have a map of their route, and not know an approximation of their fare ahead of time.
I think you're saying that no competitors in the mobile platform market are being excluded. But the point is that Apple (and Google to a slightly lesser degree) are using their dominance in the mobile platform market to exclude competitors in other markets. For example, Epic have tried to make competing services in both stores and payments, and Apple prevented one and banned them from its platform for doing the other. That's what provoked their lawsuit.
> We as legislators need to ensure that these platforms who act as gatekeepers in the digital market have to respect a predefined set of rules in order to guarantee fair competition and balanced market powers,” he said in a statement.

One of these rules is (hopefully), if i purchase a hardware gadget, all of its capabilities are my possession. Restricting the access on purpose is frault.
Epic's case is just a consequence of the missing regulations when providing software AND hardware.

Never mind the 993, show us a picture that conveys those seven -- and any 993 other unnecessary ones you want. If the seven were true, that should be easy. Heck, I won't hold it against you if there are as many as 1,042 extra words, or as few as 763.

But I betcha you can't find one that clearly says what seven little words of text do. Which goes to show that those seven little words are a lie.
The national parks generally have no coverage - which is kind of perfect given what you go there for. Once you get off the East coast, there are even more no reception areas. In Wyoming and Idaho for example I had to drive my car some miles to the nearest town to get any reception since it was so valley-y and sparsely populated.
Anti trust case against Apple in the US made sense due to Apple's dominance in both the share of users and the share of the app store revenue. EU may not be as clearcut.

This news article does not mention anything about the basis for antitrust. Is it the marketshare of iOS phone users or it is the revenue. Seems like iOS marketshare as defined by the number of users is about 20%, revenue share should be higher.

I don't have an argument with any of that. Just the claim that the NHS is "running on Windows XP", which felt like a lazy accusation that's at least a couple of years out of date.
Having done DARPA contracts, the difference I saw is that they feel more like moonshots. They are more fun to work on because you're encouraged to let your imagination run wild. Since failure is almost guaranteed it is kinda liberating since you don't feel the pressure to avoid failure. Failure IS the process here. Working on a DARPA contract is really the space where "there's no dumb ideas." Of course there actually are, but there's much more freedom to suggest these because at worse you rule some things out. And often the dumb ideas lead to good ideas that haven't been seen because the path starts at something that is clearly absurd. But then again, the premise of the problem is absurd so you have to try absurd things.
I wonder how soon the general mass adoption of built in Lidar will be (new phones being made from now on) and then the app integration/expansion. Anyway cool gifs.
That is going to lead to it appearing that people have high email engagement which will cause them to be on more mailing lists and at higher frequency than they otherwise would be.
Most of those examples had no consent though, let alone informed consent.

I do agree with OP that it's condescending to say that a non-PHD can't educate themselves enough for informed consent right now.

To me the time frame makes a difference though. Could one give informed consent in the first few months of a pandemic when we didn't know anything about the short and long term consequences? I think yeah it's their body they can jump in to benefit their family and all of us.

What about now that we have more data about immediate safety in younger adults and a bit more about potential longer term effects?

I agree with OP and don't think it's comparable to the serious problems you list.

Us non-scientists can understand enough to make this risk / society reward decision with our own bodies.
Purchasing equity is the moral approach. This means that the investor also bears the risk. If the company succeeds, the investor makes money, if it doesn't, then he lost money.

Depending on how extreme you want to get, not that complicated. Part of market street has already been closed to cars. Many streets have been converted into pedestrian streets during covid.

You would ask a friend: "do you know the number of the Smithsonian?"

Or you would visit the Smithsonian in person and ask them.

Once you have the number, you would store it in your personal contacts list, you don't need to remember it.
The progress it’s made is remarkable, but unfortunately it is not ready for daily use.
I’m not sure what you want it for, if s hobby device to develop/check out the state of it, go for it. For more frequent use, maybe wait for the pinephone 2, as I think the hardware is a big bottleneck.. I think it has trouble scheduling processes due to the not too strong GPU and few RAM. The GPU unit is also not particularly strong, and I’m not as optimistic thar everything can be solved in software.

But if you can allow supporting the project do buy one! (Though I believe they work basically without a profit margin)

> Take a look at Lagos, Nigeria. Population is ~15m for ~80k towers. Only 1.4k (1.7%) of them are 4G LTE with the remaining either 3G or CDMA.

Isn't the solution for Lagos just to build better infrastructure? Monetizing large and poor urban centers with satellites doesn't make too much sense to me. I thought Starlink was for rural areas where cable isn't feasible. I would imagine most consumers there can't afford an American broadband service and Starlink doesn't want to use its bandwidth for customers paying highly discounted rates.
Well sure, I accept "I use this because that's what the helpful postdoc knows" as spiritually falling under "I already knew it" heading.

Two thoughts from your comment:

1. Agree on the edge cases, to do real driving we'll need AGI or some whole new way of looking at it, its not possible algorithmically. But, I would pessimisticly draw on other examples of how tech handles this problem: if the tech can't do it, it's not something people get to do. Try getting help from a chatbot, or getting help from uber or Amazon on a situation that doesnt fit the FAQ. So I expect self driving cars will be great for a range of things that young tech-savvy people want to do (and that google et al want you doing) but won't drive you to the hospital in a snowstorm and will balk when they realize they have to turn into a rutted backroad at night, because why would anyone live there?

2. More frightening, there are people (see one of the siblings) that think nobody should be doing "dangerous" things like driving in a severe storm, that are beyond the range of a self driving car, and want to force their value judgement on others. So expect there to be calls for outlawing certain activities, for our safety.
Everyone missed the importance as the civil war, because Europeans assumed the Americans were a bunch of hicks. WW1 was about rifles and by extension machine guns and trains.

Likewise, today is similar. It’s pretty obvious how you take out a modern country. Information campaigns and taking out infrastructure over the internet are cheap and effective. Witness the complete collapse of Texas today as an example.
I too learned about the number from this project. I also learned that it’s endangered. The GitHub README has a link to where you can donate to help out.
> but for for reason the tech industry is very conservative regarding sex.

IDK about that it's the same or slightly better than the rest of corporate America IME. Maybe a bit more lenient, if anything.

Industry is "very conservative" because talking about sex can almost instantaneously turn into sexual harassment. So you have to be careful talking about it. Drugs don't have the same liability concerns, if people aren't obviously loaded on the job.

I'm talking about frivolous lawsuits as well as legitimate grievances. People have a right not to deal with sexual discomfort (I don't have a better name for this concept - the uncomfortable feelings people have when talking about sex). Some people are very very uncomfortable talking about sex for various reasons. You can't even mention it without toing this line, or potentially crossing it.

I have no idea what you're talking about regarding the tech industry being conservative on sex. I've met so many very openly LGBTQ in software. It definitely feels more common than elsewhere, especially with these corporate jobs.

Except the plants are not built at the sea and desalination is not a clean process.

Or with electrolysis or storage you need to generate it and transport it to where it can be used, getting you back to square one because nobody is doing that because it is uneconomical. Whereas mining is not because it can be all done on site in remote locations and doesn't even need great internet. High latency, spotty internet is good enough for crypto mining.

We know what the ideals are: no pollution and infinite energy, or no pollution and less energy use. Thats not going to happen, and crypto wasn’t part of those 50 year old models, yet it is accomplishing a lot of those ideals and people choose not to respect its existence as it alters their worldview.

Social "science" hogwash. If the past had predictive ability, historians would be billionaires. When you can demonstrate repeatability in the predictive nature of your models, then you will be in a place to call others a "fool". Until then, realize you're standing on a house of cards.
Actually, imagine if you were Walmart and you've spent the past 25 years investing in your brand, real-estate, parking lots, buildings, advertising, signage, etc. Your goal is to build a thriving business for _your_ customers. A fertilizer company isn't happy with the placement they are getting in your stores, so they sue you and say you need to give them dedicated, premium space in the parking lot. They also think its annoying that customers coming to Walmart for fertilizer need to go into the store to pay for their product. They want these Walmart customers to pay cash in the parking lot, pocketing all the money for themselves. If this sounds ridiculous, it's because it is. Epic is the fertilizer company and this whole lawsuit is embarrassing.
> The trick is to only work with submodule refs during any sort of complex series of commands, then update the submodules once all of the ref munging is done.

So you don't actually check out the submodule, ok. But this means you can't actually use the correct submodule commit during the rebase? Like trying to build with it to check if it works before continuing?

> Nope, though admittedly the commands need some polish here. Worst case, remove the directory in the working tree, remove the entry from .gitmodules, delete .git/module/x/y/z/, then add -A the now-deleted worktree path and your .gitmodules.

How do you admit this and yet simultaneously say "I don't know why people raise such a stink about them" and "Not once have had issues with them"? You somehow know there are pain points, you know the various workarounds which can consist of N hoops to jump through, and yet you claim you haven't encountered issues even once and don't even understand what people dislike about submodules? Aren't these clearly contradictory?

> Not since I sat down and read through the concepts section on the official Git docs, which outline what e.g. objects, trees, commits, tags and refs were, no.

I'm pretty sure I know what all of those are and still find submodules painful.
The key thing with most patents is that the fees have to be "fair" (which is afaik also a legal requirement). In eInks case, the fee seems to be too high[1]. Now, does anyone want to go to court over this? nope.
