I don't understand the Jupiter model, as shown. Not that it needs to make sense to me.

It'd be super cool to have multiple depictions of each planet. Like all the school kids along Mars' orbit could all make their own Mars.

"Accommodation: $2004 six months in condo, the rest in AirBnb's and guesthouses"

That does seem really low. I wonder if the "guesthouses" part is friends letting him stay for cheap, below market rents?

Also only $726 for healthcare - apparently now monthly health insurance cost?
Everytime UBI comes up I see a slew of common arguments about inflation and rents. I think those are debateable. But globalism isn't. If everyone gets some money for free, the cost of labor will need to go up, because the marginal utility of those salaries will be lower. This is especially true for people at the bottom, but also for those in the middle. To some extent this will raise prices, specifically to the point at which the lower class needs to work to survive, because That Is How It Works. But they will still probably be better off, debateably. What isn't clear is what happens to all of the jobs that can be exported to countries without UBI that are now that much cheaper. If you raise the price of labor and jobs leave the country, you've made the country net poorer, and in all likelihood increased wealth inequality by squeezing people out of the middle.
This is above anything I could imagine being imagined by a random artist. Very surprising.

When we're talking about passive income in a general sense, are we talking about buying stocks and funds that generate dividends and/or growth that sustain a 4% (or whatever) sell-off rate to pay for basic life needs, but the asset is valuable enough to keep chugging along despite that? Thanks.
> But is C going to be too hard for young kids to play with?

Speaking from personal experience, I “learned C” alongside actually learning BASIC when I was 10-12. When I say “learned C” I actually mean I “learned basic imperative programming with C-style syntax”: simple single-file programs inside of a main block. Arrays (probably all statically allocated), but few (if any) pointers of scalar quantities, no structs, and I doubt I ever even used headers or macros. By contrast, I understood the BASIC runtime and overall language much better than I did C.

But I was able to be reasonably effective for a kid: writing simple ASCII games, interfacing with some educational robotics toy with a C library, physics simulations, and so on. So I don’t think C is too difficult for kids, or even necessarily more difficult than any other language. The complete specification for C is obviously too complicated for most kids, as are the details of safe and performant native code, but you can quite effectively create small programs with a minimal subset of C.

That said, it is probably harder to find reference material for kids learning C in 2021. And the nice thing about Python is that kids can much more easily do more complex tasks, plus it has a bespoke interpreter for learning the basics. Kids are also more able to create their own complete applications in Python than C. Of course learning basic imperative programming with C is a very enriching experience for a child. But doing the same with Python-style syntax seems like a perfectly fine replacment.

In my view C is ok for kids - it might even be the best choice if you’re focusing on hardware - and that the important thing is getting started with something. But I would caution against using C unless the specific code you have in mind is relatively simple. Complex memory management considerations or data manipulation that’s very close to the metal is probably inappropriate for first-time young learners.
Genuinely curious why not pay for fantastical? It has basically the same widget, plus an iPhone and Mac app for a 1/3 of the price?
Not to be mean, but this seems like it only got traction because they got accepted to YC on another idea, otherwise would have been lost in the sea of dozens of other much more full featured or free calendar solutions?
winsim is drillisch, which is just about starting its own network, mostly resells telefonica like most cheap options (incl. premiumsim).

> If people in a company don't know what they're doing, yet (it appears) have a deathgrip belief in the equivalent of something they found on StackOverflow or in a blog post... doesn't that reflect something about the company?

No, all that it reflects is that the company does not prioritize hiring people who interview well, or training people to interview well.

The company also probably does not prioritize hiring people who speak Finnish, or training people to speak Finnish.

Neither of these two signals are any indication that the day-to-day work environment is going to suck.
> Your observations in V.B.4 are pretty well understood in circuit design.

Indeed, I am actually surprised the paper doesn't include something like _"This is inline with the well known result for progressive sizing [cites textbook]"_.
It was my first paper, i was worse at writing things then.
:-D

> One thing your analysis didn't include, which actually ends up being quite significant, is the extra capacitance caused by the wires between transistors. This changes the sizing requirements substantially.

Good point. And not easy to model in a SPICE style simulator.
I guess one could maybe introduce explict capacitors and them compute capacitiances by making some assimptions about layout.
Yes, salespeople call it the impending doom close. If you don’t buy this car/house/holiday today it will be gone tomorrow.

Based is really hard to define if we're being honest. It kind of means a Libertarian sort of self-righteous fearlessness of going against the grain. Like being anti lockdown because lockdowns are unconstitutional? Based. In this example there's a certain macho-ness to this site, there's no fluff, narrative, ads, CSS, or pictures, just recipes, dammit! Based.
I for one am certainly not ready for humanity to stagnate. There are a lot of improvements left to made, and a lot of work left to be done.
Thanks for mentioning, it's definitely not for everyone. We've found a set of users who do care enough about this seemingly minor problem.

We also have a much bigger vision for this than a calendar app. The Google Calendar integration we've built is the base for every other platform we plan to bring in, like Slack and GitHub.
That question is one of my favorite questions as a candidate because it provides the space to have a realistic conversation about compensation and what is necessary to make the move a reality.
Sure, by why use it only on YouTube? Especially given that its loaded from the Google domain.
When I taught high school in the '00s, they used first+last name as a primary identifier for students. For duplicates, they added an asterisk on the end, repeating as necessary. I had one student on my roster who was Jose Ramirez**** (not his actual name or number of asterisks, both of which I've long since forgotten).
There's definitely a mindset thing to this that I need to work on, but my last experience going through the interview process was so draining that I didn't recover for several months.

It was my first time interviewing for "senior" roles — I did 5 on-sites (maybe 8 screens, starting from 15 phone calls?) while working full-time. I'm naturally pretty high-stress before interviews, and I felt like I needed to constantly be preparing, so it seemed like 3 months of a nightmarish grind.

Any advice from experienced interviewers for the next time around?
OP's comment isn't about the author of this article but instead about the cultural narratives which resulted in this particular article to be brought to the front page of HN as opposed to another.

The CDC and WHO have both repeatedly said children have relatively low transmission rates. And yet this FUD article about COVID risk to these kids is what gets pushed to the top. It feels like only yesterday these facilities were literally being referred to as Nazi camps.

So low COVID risk front page. Nazi camps... basically vanished from our attention. This is not a commentary on the author of this article but the social consciousness that selected to promote this article.
> I've not seen figures that put the cost of handling it above 30%

Really? Is that battery storage? Hydroelectricity?

I haven't seen a storage plan, let alone a cheap one, that hasn't assumed some future technology like hydrogen, synthetic gas, or molten salt will essentially be a cheat code to provide nearly-free storage.
Thank you! The whole "hurr durr McDonalds Coffee" thing is one of those stories that simply won't seem to die, no matter how often heroes like you show up and do the work of correcting it.
You could certainly choose a few paths that are likely to pay higher salary that most of the scientific computing jobs you'd likely get. On the other hand, the pay for some of those scientific computing jobs is reasonable, and often the work is more interesting for someone with your background. It's worth bearing in mind that unless you are extremely unusual, you'll need a few years training in industry as well before you are really running on all cylinders.

You'll really have to think about your priorities, but it sounds like you have a bit of time to do that.

Probably the worst case is "support programmer for a research lab", some people do well there if they love the lab and the work but it tends to combine poor pay with extremely limited options for professional growth.
While I admire the resourcefulness of the people who invented these sorts of foods, they aren't really the sort of thing most people like to eat when given alternatives, I think.
you mean quantifiable 100x improvements ;-). Chisel, which I would argue is the best HDL tool, still produces completely inscrutable verilog, so if you don't like the way it does things you might have... a challenge rejiggering it. I imagine there's like "100x" DX improvement you could generate between say best practices on CI, deployment, portability of design, running your design on accelerated hardware with ease, etc.
I've never done macro photography before, so this might be a silly question - but could you really get shots like this from a single DSLR image? Most macro photos I see have some part of the image in razor sharp focus, then a strong bokeh effect for the rest.

The problem I have with the setup the author listed is not the exploding part, it's the pressure to accept and calls from the hiring manager pressing to accept. All well within the exploding offer window.

If the team has this attitude before hiring, it often indicates that it will be "we need A B and C done by first thing Monday morning" after joining. My 2c.
Hrm - I do definitely understand that sentiment, but it assumes that you, the current holder of the money, are more responsible than those other folks. Remember that while you might not choose to spend in the money in the way they are - you don't really have a position to judge since that is what they want most in life. It can be hard to see with issues like addiction and that's less a money question and more a mental health question - but other "frivolous" purchases can be part of what makes life worth living.

I really dislike arbitrary cash handouts of the sort you pointed out above - it's why I'd encourage increasing employee take home if you have any employees. If that's not an option then there are a number of good and responsible charities.

Lastly - this comment (and the one above) aren't directed at judging you and I don't know the specifics of your situation. But judging how other people use their money is something that's best entirely avoided. If you donate two thousand dollars to a friend who uses the money to drown her problems in alcohol then it's unlikely she would've worked through those issues in a healthy way if you just never gave her money - it's hard though and I can certainly sympathize with a desire to avoid sending anyone money. I also think you're getting a lot of downvotes because you are speaking from a very unsympathetic position, but it is an interesting discussion so I'd urge you not to get discouraged.

You avoided the questions.
> This is the source of conflict, I think, between people who want more real names online and those who want none.

I think there is a space for both, tbh. There is always business based on reputation, and for that you need to self-identify. I used to be a professional gigging musician, and there was absolutely no way to do that while remaining anonymous online, nor would I want to.

The difference being, I suppose, was business vs personal, but personal brand was a thing long before the internet (I assume).
I really wanted to like this product, but like most remote solutions it just doesn't work well enough.

I use IntelliJ on my Mac. After setting up IntelliJ with Projector I ran into several issues:

* Copy/paste didn't work even with the client app (Now that I think about this, it might be because the macOS keymap wasn't enabled in IntelliJ by default)

* Green regions often appeared and stayed until the window was resized

* Scrolling is very sensitive

* Occasional glitching of the UI

I would love to ditch IntelliJ on my MacBook because it often hangs or slows down when IntelliJ is indexing. Working on a powerful remote server would be ideal for me if I could find a tool that works well enough.

Maybe in a few year it'll be possible.
Okay, that's great to hear.
The obvious solution is to pay 50% of the unemployed population to dig holes and pay the other 50% of them to fill the holes in. Because, clearly it's a huuuuge problem if someone gets money without working for it.

"Regulators! mount up"
I'm not a charitable person (I'm only concerned with caring for myself and my loved ones), but even then I never understand this kind of mentality. At $100k income (assuming no tax), 10% is $10,000. How much does that come out to over 10, 20, 30, even 50 years? Even if I were charitable I'd still rather save and invest everything, so that that money can grow and I can donate more later. Instead of a lump sum of 10k today, why not have an amount of wealth that can provide a continuous supply of funds from interest?
yea, that vodafone deal sounds good value if you need the data.

> I don't think your definition of winners applies here, because for some this isn't really about making a quick buck. There's a whole class of WSB-based stock purchasers who buy/bought stock in protest, and don't care at all if they lose 200$-2000$ in this as long as they see hedge funds hemorrhaging cash.

That class of WSB should open their eyes and realize that hedge funds on the long side of the trades aren't hemmorhaging cash. Those funds are happily taking WSB cash, and laughing all the way to the bank.

As a form of social protest, giving your money to a hedge fund seems to be an odd one.

For some mysterious reason, though, the WSB narrative is that all the hedge funds are on the short side of these trades. Again, no proof is given for this statement, it's just a magical incantation that the tribe keeps repeating.

... Or, it's something that people hoping to get rich from a pump and dump keep repeating, so that bigger fools drive the stock price up for them, and they can cash out. If I were one of those people, that's what I'd be doing.
My spouse got that a lot growing up, sadly she now sometimes gets another one since she took my last name. Thankfully the new actor is not very relevant anymore so it doesn't happen often.
UBI will just be hugely inflationary and people will vote in the politicians who promise them the most money every election cycle until the currency debasement causes economic instability. Nothing will change in peoples well being because that rests on logistics, not how much money anyone has. Theres only so many homes, nurses, spots at schools - giving people a paycheck that is more worthless every time its issued changes none of that. I can give every single person in the country 1 million dollars and there are still only so many nice homes. Nothing changes.

> Not enough clarity about your role

I experienced this one to the extreme. Not only would the recruiter not tell me what the scope of the job was, neither would the interviewing engineers nor the hiring manager. I went to the on-site interview with the promise that I would be working on "world-changing technology". The location of the interview was a nondescript building in the Bay area with an off-limits engineering pen I wasn't allowed to see. They kept me in a 10x10 cubicle with a white board and small table for 6+ hours during which a parade of engineers came through to ask me puzzle questions. None of the interviewers could answer simple questions like "What do you do?" or "What am I going to do?"

Seriously, how does anyone accept a job without knowing what the job is? I guess if you're a big enough corporation you can get away with that kind of thing.

I think some would argue that oral history counts as "recording", so this is history.

> Circuit design was my first job

Glad to hear. This industry needs a lot of modernization.

> I have a bit of a hypothesis that - between open source tooling becoming more mature, and more people getting into the chip design space for custom accelerators - we're on the cusp of a major overhaul in EDA tooling

I hope you're right. The current state of circuit EDA tooling is abysmal. I think on the analog/RF side, the ecosystem is so ancient and entrenched that it will take a herculean effort to make any real strides, especially because the golden age of analog/RF semi startups is over. But digital design is very much becoming open source, as you mentioned, and maybe that will eventually bleed over.

I wish all types of circuit design were more accessible to the world - lots of emerging economies could use it, but the up front cost is just so high. There's been a massive surge of software dev recently in the Middle East and Africa, and hopefully hardware dev follows suit.
Does that appear to be the case for the millions of people already receiving checks from the government?
>as long as they don't use any social services.

And just how do you intend to enforce that? It sounds nice, but we can't deal with fraud - let alone trying to determine who should and shouldn't get something on that kind of scale.

How about the rest of the world adopting more of what makes people want to come to the US? Seems to be more rational (and sustainable) than advocating that everyone should just be able to come to the US.
Perhaps they paid for it and it's a sunken cost fallacy.
You can optimize for avoiding that and still wind up in that exact situation.

This is a complete non-signal.
Robots taking manufacturing jobs allows a reallocation of people, it doesn't make them obsolete.

But UBI would definitely support that line of thinking. "Dad is given a stipend by the government because there are no jobs for him, so why would I strive?"
