1.) Do you think upper management in banks even care about what happens in individual teams? Pre-2008, upper management was significantly detached from the individual departments in every bank. Its only now that they are being regulated to take a much closer look. Second-in-command does not mean he's at the trenches dictating trading rules - thats up to individual product teams. And back then, JPMorgan wasn't even comparable to the Bear, ML, GS in S&T. JPMorgan's bread and butter was and continues to be Corporate Financing and Consumer Finance.

2.) Who knows, if 2008 hadn't happened, he might have joined the bandwagon too. Not to mention that JPMorgan's S&T was nothing compared to those players in 2008, so obviously their "risky bets" were minimal.

3.) You're going to attribute consumer side banking to him? Consumer banking is literally a safe-side cash cow for most banks, and you can literally see a number of institutions engaging in it continue to stay safe. He cannot be credited for that.

5.) There are n other companies that have grown even more than JPM. If you're going to use stock prices as a proxy for your argument (which is flawed in itself), GS is currently at 350, almost half of which was gained in the past month. Compared to GS, JPM does seem like a crapper here.

I don't know what's your motivation behind defending Dimon or something, but I'm just echoing the common sentiment in the industry, that he plays it too safe, his cautiousness (often attributed to his ignorance of newer tech) has made JPM a laggard before, and that he was lucky to be loyal dog at Bank One. There are far more brilliant bankers in the industry, for instance Kovacevich who actually changed the face of consumer finance (worse for the consumer eventually, but still changed the face of the industry) or the Blankfein-Solomon duo who brought tech from the backburner and made it one of the most elite teams in the world banking scene (cue Strats and Marcus). Dimon is just like Stumpf (pre-WF scandal) in that he was given one of the biggest banks to play with. I agree, it's not an easy task in itself, but it's certainly not a hard enough one to call him a "brilliant" banker for that.

Nice story. To this day many Spaniards are unaware that Ecuatorial Guinea is a former colony. My memories from High school are that we glanced over it.
> I ask guests to locally record their side of the conversation with Audacity while I do the same on my end.

That's so simple and so obvious that I'll punish myself 1000 years for not having thought about it :-)
What's it got to do with the last 100 years? We're talking about a 100,000 year temperature cycle and Greenland's melting cycle which started before humans influenced it so it wasn't caused by humans. I think all you people replying to me think I'm a global warming denier but you can't argue with what I've said because I'm right so you're just saying random facts instead.

That's literally how the non-digital art market works, as well.
This is amazing. I'm looking for a low-code / no-code version of something like this for my video essays. Right now I have to rely on Adobe After effects which is a) costly and b) a little too much kitchen sink.

Suggestions welcome.
I was a Symbian developer at that time. The fate of N900 is a grim reminder that engineering brilliance will still lose out to managerial incompetence.

Seriously, the device was just so attractive both for users and programmers. If Nokia were able to stay the course, they could pull off a bestseller.

Their nosedive into the ground under Stephen Elop is a stuff of dark legends.
Ah yes, the overwhelming majority of scientists is in disarray over proof of the unusually fast rate of climate change with a decades long political campaign to finally make our profit-oriented societies pay some attention to the issue.

But in comes the HN smartass who definitely knows better than thousands of trained PhDs cumulating millions of man hours of research and convinces us all with a hyperlink to donath.org.
Gold has obvious aesthetic and industrial uses, but as a store of value, its utility is very low to begin with. The only use for storing gold is that it could be used as an emergency medium of exchange in the event of a global economic collapse. Meanwhile, even if you had stable internet access, by some miracle, very few people would have enough spare energy to mine for blocks for Bitcoin transactions.

Outside of this extreme case, a currency is much better store of value because it comes with the bonus of liquidity. Sure fiat currency may lose its value to inflation, and Bitcoin may rise 50x, but that's actually a benefit of fiat.

Money is really just a credit for your contributions to society that society now owes back to you. The value of your contribution to society decays over time, so it makes sense that the value of your money should do so as well. You're now incentivized to "rent out" the credit society owes back to you to someone who needs it more than you, for example, a young family buying their first house. This is in essence what a loan is.

Had your money/store of value been sitting idly, it wouldn't be able to help anyone. This is the problem with Bitcoin. Loans and investment become extremely risky. It's impossible for everyone to pay back interest successfully when there are a fixed number of Bitcoins, so instead people are incentivized to hoard them. In a broader sense, by "holding value," you're holding back societal contributions for the future when these contributions could reap benefits right now. That's not something anyone should be rewarded for.

Given that storing value is a net negative for society, there's the question of where the additional value of Bitcoin is coming from. Part of it was due to the devaluation of the dollar, but that can't explain all of it. Maybe it has some unrealized potential to become a currency outside of government control, but that's something that was rejected in the original comment I replied to. This means that the value of Bitcoin is being leeched from outside. I think that people will collectively realize this, which will cause Bitcoin to crash.
> We delayed having kids because of this and that is my biggest regret.

Don't answer if this is too personal - but why the regret? It sounds like you have had kids, so perhaps it got harder? Or you had fewer than you wanted. Why do you regret it?
Looks to me more like they used a compositor like AE or Blackmagic Fusion/Resolve.
Next up: a review of Mozart first piece from when he was 3 years old.

Spoiler alert: it's a stinker showing that Mozart is overrated!
> "Audacity is the GIMP of audio" is perfectly accurate in this regard.

This statement brings back a fond memory for me. I was first introduced to open-source software in the late 90s, when I was in high school. GIMP was one of the best known and most popular pieces of open-source software at the time. At the time there wasn't really an equivalent open-source equivalent for audio that was nearly as feature rich or popular.

I remember coming across some programmers around that time who were trying to write "GIMP for audio" -- they called it GWAMP (Gnu Wave Audio Manipulation Program) -- but it never really took off.

Then a few years later, when I was in college, I came across a programmer named Dominic Mazzoni who was working on this pre-1.0 program he called Audacity. It was still in the early stages, and didn't have anyone else working on it except his PhD advisor who had written a lot of the DSP code. Dominic and I hit it off, and I spent a lot of my college free time hacking on it, as other contributors started joining the effort too. And then it went on to succeed beyond my wildest dreams (thanks mostly to Dominic and others -- I was just in the right place at the right time).

If you had told me in the 90s that I'd have a chance to get in on the ground floor of a program that, 20 years later, was still being called the "GIMP of audio", it would have sounded too good to be true.

Yeah you won't find that in OpenProject. I mean, they do have kanban boards, but they're in an enterprise version that I'm assuming you're not interested at.
I've been Obsidian since a few weeks and it's the most fastest Electron app I've ever used. It's so snappy, it feels like a native app. So, yes I agree with parent comment, Notion is slow and sluggish but Electron is not the one to blame here. The web version is pretty slow as well.

I can't speak for the PC Engine, but as for the Sega Genesis: it's not just producing simple waveforms. At that point in history we're talking full 4-operator FM synthesis and PCM audio. Different revisions of the system had different implementations of the YM2612 (some as discrete components, some integrated into SoCs) and they produced dramatically different output. Comparison videos are available on YouTube: [1], [2], [3], [4] and elsewhere. The differences can be very obvious, even with YT compression through low-quality speakers and without an audiophile's ear.

The Role of DevOps in Ecommerce Business
Yes! The type hierarchy view was great, forgotten about that.
Yep. When I tell people "if I cared about my children's education I wouldn't have sent them to school" they act horrified. However, while I could lie and say that I do care about their education very much, my actions say otherwise.

I send them to school because I am lazy. That is the opposite of caring. My younger daughter had some nasty experiences in school, up to having to call the cops because she was sexually assaulted in class.

Schools are a cesspit.
I will try to answer multiple questions here because I am being throttled:

> How do you handle support with just 3 people? I imagine at that scale you either have a lot of customers, or small number of customers with very specific needs.

We are highly automated. Very very few queries get through and they are contracted out.

> what is the skillset of 3 people? 1 product, 1 sale/market, 1 developer or something else? how complex is the product in terms of technology?

2 developers (I am 1 of them) and 1 person for everything else.

> Are you in a large market with competitors but still plenty of room, or have you more or less cornered a smaller one?

It's a large market with 20+ competitors. Because our operational costs are so low and we are highly automated we could take over big chunk of business from our competitors. Essentially the dynamic is like Altavista vs Google.

Our competitors sometimes do some really dark patterns. I am realizing that almost all companies do that (Google incognito tracking, Facebook charging kids in games etc). Somehow I can't get myself to do that. So I am thinking of moving to Saas so that I can deal with mature customers and ideally provide them value.

> What are your skillsets? How did you get there?

I am a programmer as my core skill. But I have also played product, marketing, sales, hiring through my career. To get good a these, I worked in my jobs as if I was the owner. That helped get me experience faster.

If people want to do a startup, best advice for them would be join a startup with good team at an early stage. Bonus points if that startup is in a space you like. Learn, make good friends and then then do your own startup.

I really recommend Naval's "How to get rich" podcast. It's as if he is talking about my life. He decided to move to more investing, but I still like building stuff myself.

> What distinguished the successful attempts from the unsuccessful ones?
> How did you know when it was time to move on?

If I don't know how to keep growing the business, it's a dead-end and time to move on.
My thought is without the other Greeks and their art, literature, and architecture we would know nothing and care nothing about the Spartans. Eventually some empire would have rolled over them, found the Spartan ruling class annoying and sent them to oblivion.

Extinction of the species, not killing of some individuals. I thought that was clear all along. It comes from "It is that we, humans, we likely not survive".

You might just be shocked by words like "not caused by humans" and have reacted reflexively. Sometimes climate changes really aren't caused by humans.

Great data, mind boggling interpretation. This is exactly what I’d expect to see in Greenland’s subglacial sediment. It reinforces, not rewrites, the paleoclimate history during the 41 kyr to 100 kyr glacial cycle transition.

Seems like you completely ignored this part: "compared to some major asset classes that are omitted from consumer inflation calculations"

sp500 going from 2500 to 4000 in the same year is 60%. Yes, a 20% price hike compared to a 60% price hike makes for a cheaper outcome in the end, when gas is "compared to some major asset classes", in my example the US stocks. Why is this so difficult?
Over the last 10 years or so there has definitely been a push by journals more towards word.

I know that for some journals (osapublishing.org, which is optics so engineering/physics) this came at a time when they moved all their content to be accessible as html. I remember reading somewhere (maybe in their style guides) that they said that word allows them to extract the relevant information more easily, so I suspect that MS made some sort of publishing toolchain for this usecase and the publishers lapped it up.

I know that a significant portion of colleagues still prefer to write their documents in latex, and the journals still accept them.
To the avid anti-racist, the racism being there is a dogmatic fact.

You cannot argue using reason that there is no racism to fight, because he has decided that there is, there must be.

So to the anti-racist whatever action they do is perceived meaningful, even when completely absurd.

It’s clearly a new kind of piety, a new kind if religion.
> The token just contains a URL to the hosted image.

That sounds... just insane. Content under an URL can and does change. URLs themselves are not even under full control of the seller. I could get signing data itself, but signing a pointer?

EDIT: but the URL contains an IPFS hash, assuming it's not the mutable kind, maybe this is not completely crazy (or at least wouldn't be, if they included just the hash, without the gateway URL part)?

EDIT2: nevermind, I saw your other comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26500542, which links to a Twitter thread that explains the scam in details.
I don't know where this idea that the "ci" group is pronounced "ki" came from (or "cae" / "ce" is pronounced "ke"). Given that both Italian and Romanian preserved them as "tchi" / "tche" (so Caesar is "Tche-zar", not "Ke-zar" as I read somewhere), I have some strong doubts about it.
1/ I see failure as part of life. Why can't we accept death ? (which is not that hard since we've been doing that for millions of years)

Three ways to use Puppeteer and Node.js to screenshot web pages
I have the same problem and manage to conquer it with 3 strategies:

1. Acknowledge that passive media consumption is actually not that interesting to me and just turn off the TV. Or when watching TV sometimes look at tutorials etc for the technologies you are trying to learn. If you find a good teacher this can be very entertaining too.

2. Have 2 Projects - 1 is permanent and the thing you actually want to achieve. The other is dynamic, meaning you can just switch to something else if you feel like exploring a new technology.

3. Give talks on some basic topics. Expectations are not high, but you are forced to learn it so that you can prepare the talk in time. Also this is very rewarding and efforts are very predictable.

Every year you delay having kids, you are reducing the amount of time you will spend with your kids and grandkids.

As you get older, the quality of time you spend with them will also get worse.

My wife went through lot of difficulties in her pregnancies. It would have been easier for her body, if we had kids earlier.

My drive to get out of the corporate slavery was the reason for the delay. So I regret the delay.
At that time, the stability and fitness regimes were admired. Of course this could not last forever, there is always someone stronger.

I have seen criticism about child soldiers. This is relative and not comparable to todays child soldiers. In some regions you did not even have to be aged 10 to get married.

What the western and rest of world is doing today with soldiers is no less despicable. Either they are forced to serve via mandate or often out of economical desperation, only to be deployed as cannon fodder because the politicians failed to come up with a diplomatic solution. Many if them aged 18-20, those are kids, not professional mercenaries.
Hell, at least in some places the kings rewarded soldiers with some land parcels.

Yes Sparta was an oligarchy with fascist taint. One could argue at least they did not follow the Janissary procedure(read that and tell me how that compares to spartan recruitment).

It is easy to condemn past violence and lifestyle from the peaceful environment in the 21st century.

I have seen the argument that Turkish immigrants are not easy to immigrate in Germany.
Do you know how their parents from the first wave were welcomed and treated? These will not integrate in this lifetime. But their kids do and will, most of them. Try talking to them. Successful immigration is a 2 way road.
The MANIAC 1 documentation (1954) [pdf]
A primary source showing that Greenland was melting since preindustrial times? Really? No, sorry. It's not contentious at all. If you genuinely disagree, then I'll put some effort into it. Or is it something else you're asking for a source for?

EDIT: Turns out it is contentious because there are multiple cycles spanning different time periods so we're probably talking about different ones. I'm talking about the general holocene but there's also a separate human caused increased melt rate which is obviously post-industrial.
Do hobbies have to be successful? IMHO the time is for restoring your sense of well-being. There are loads of happy (but terrible) amateur artists, musicians, dancers, DJs, woodworkers, model-makers, novelists, photographers, Wordpress website builders, RPi hobbyists, medieval French students. Everywhere is full of half-assembled or half-disassembled clocks, airbrush compressors, and that PDP-11 someone planned to restore and it's fine.

The website and the book have successfully distracted you from the TV for a while. Now they're making you feel bad. That's not the function of a hobby. Maybe it's time to find something else.
Two things that worked well for me:

1. Work on your hobbies _before_ your actual work (or when you feel rested the most).

Don't spend all of your "prime time" in your job. In the morning, when I am rested and focused, I dedicate the first one or two hours of the day to work on my things. Of course this pushes my schedule and I finish work later, but at the end it feels like an accomplished day. There's no feeling of guilt because you "only worked on your job". This of course only applies if you have a flexible job.

2. You cannot do everything at once.

I had very similar goals as you in the beginning of the year. I was trying to write posts for my blog, learn my partner's language, study for the Terraform associate exam, and exercise daily. All combined with a moderately demanding job. We simply cannot have that many things in our buffer. Try to focus on what's more urgent or important for you. Do one or two things at a time.
The killer feature of a resistive screen IMO is its environmental resitance. It's not afraid of water, and can be used in gloves, or using any vaguely stick-shaped tool when your fingers are dirty.
