skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Wow, its nice to see something I've strategized for years articulated well. While I would like a larger dataset, and mostly focus on the non-billionares in my more reasonable target wealth, it generally matches my analysis.

"Roughly 3/4 by starting companies and 1/4 by investing."

Some people have given me a hard time for not being too attached to companies, especially startups, but one of the things I've learned by seeing the internals of hundreds of companies, both as a contractor and as an employee, is that there are so many lessons to be learned at the business level if you learn how to pay attention and think about those problems. I found that as a sysadmin I was around these kinds of discussions a lot, but that other sysadmins just tuned most of it out. Instead I exploited the fact that so many C's viewed me as a "janitor", and soaked up the knowledge about what to do right and what not to do... and I continue to do so.

Now, I finally got my foot in the door in finance, and my two main strategies match (starting a business and investing).

"There were no fund managers among the 100 richest Americans in 1982. Hedge funds and private equity firms existed in 1982, but none of their founders were rich enough yet to make it into the top 100. Two things changed: fund managers discovered new ways to generate high returns, and more investors were willing to trust them with their money."

This is because put options weren't even a thing until, what, 1977, and more complicated options weren't removed from the moratorium until 1980. It was a very new field even for the existing hedge fund managers.

"of the 73 new fortunes in 2020, 4 were due to real estate and only 2 to oil."

Again, this is a very limited dataset, especially as someone who has been inside at least one oil boom, with family in the industry. I've seen quite a few many-millionares created by oil, they just don't show up in the forbes lists. They are still extremely wealthy, of course it's very sad to see so many of them piss it all away on hookers drugs trucks and houses, only to end up destitute when the bust cycle hits... (and a little infuriating)

The real crux is in defining the word "rich" it seems. To me, building up enough that I can retire early and live off my investements without penny pinching to much is "rich". I only need a few mil for that, and it's achieveable. To others, especially with high expenses because they live in places like SV/NY, their required "rich" is many more millions.
Oracle's problem is that nobody wants to work with Oracle. If I was managing a high-bandwidth service I would avoid Oracle Cloud purely to avoid legal risk to my clients.
Right. Even if you knew 100 people that all made startups and made 10M+ it would still prove nothing. What percentage of startups do you think succeed?
Buying the majority of TSMC's 5nm process output helped. It's a combination of good engineering, the most advanced process, and intel shitting themselves I would say.
There is absolutely no way flutter unseats java/kotlin unless it abandons dart and adopts kotlin as its language. Its much more likely that flutter gets absorbed in some way by the android ecosystem.
Most likely a Scandinavian country.
Floating point works just fine for lockstep simulation!

What you need to avoid using is special functions that can vary based on your CPU model. Once you do that, integer lockstep and floating point lockstep are of similar difficulty.
I don't think he said that. This seems like an article trying to explain increased wealth inequality. At most he's saying its a neccesary consequence of innovation, and he would prefer a world with innovation than without. That's very different from saying its not a problem.
Yes, the easiest way to see it is in the lack of income security and wage stagnation for the vast majority. You have to hustle, your employer may not be around for your working lifespan, or they might be obviated by cheaper labor from overseas and/or technology and automation.

Edit: Another example is health insurance is tied to your employer in the US. It costs anywhere from $400 per child per month to $1k per month per adult, with a $17k out of pocket annual maximum. Imagine you've scraped together some savings for a house or a business or kids' education, and a wage earner becomes ill or injured, and can't work. Now you have giant expenses coming your way at your most vulnerable, and government help from Medicaid (for subpar quality healthcare) doesn't kick in until after you've exhausted all your assets, so you are at risk of getting sent back to square 1.
she could be, we don't know (at least I don't know) and since I don't know, I prefer to stay on the cautious side.

For example Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has now sued the woman in federal court in New York, claiming that her allegations are “lies, disparagement, defamation, harassment” that are “beyond the bounds of decency and not tolerated in civilized society.” [...] Dershowitz repeated his previous claims that Virginia Roberts Giuffre was “pressured to falsely accuse Dershowitz” by her lawyers, namely the law firm headed by renowned attorney David Boies.

I can't honestly say who's right and who's lying.
Yup, learned it the hard way lol.
Mozilla winds down DeepSpeech development, announces grant program
I think it's just a case of keeping it simple. Basically, it looks like Mugo supports what Mugo consumes (and about two simple additions). Adding local `var` parsing likely would complicate the hand-crafted parser.
- It's fiddly and ugly compared to hidden cables. I wouldn't do that in my own home, I'd run them in the walls.

- It's disruptive and time consuming. It would likely take me a whole day

- I don't see why I should invest further in improving the property when I will likely move out in 1-2 years time and won't reap the long-term benefits. I've done that already in other areas.

- It's hassle. My landlord could protest that I've done a shitty job when I move out, or, even if I haven't, make me remove it.

- I need multiple WiFi adapters anyway to cover both upstairs and downstairs effectively.

- It's not as flexible (in terms of moving things around) as plugging an adapter in to any electrical outlet.

- I needed a quick solution when I moved in so I could work.
So as someone who has heard about Elasticsearch for years and years, and seen all this, right this moment I've decided to see what it really is.

On their home page, "Why use Elastic search?", the reasons are basically:

* It's fast!

* It does a lot of stuff!

* It has some tools to visualize data!

* It's distributed!!

I have to say this is not very appealing to me since it sounds like something any database could do.
Innocent until proven guilty is the standard for a trial, not for public opinion.

This post is on point. I spent a good amount of time working on multiple NativeScript apps (NS with Angular and NS with Vue) and can attest that the documentation is not good enough and that there are serious bugs that are pointed out and never fixed or addressed.

I will say that open-source is a good thing to do and that they are not solving an easy problem - developing native mobile apps with multiple JS frameworks like Angular and Vue. Good on them for the effort. On top of that, there is definitely a market need for an Angular / Vue / JS to native app library for people that don't want to use React-Native for whatever reason.

However, with that said...marketing their software as production ready, easy-to-use, and working out of the box while it being the exact opposite is harmful to the companies and developers that sink serious time and effort into building with NS. There needs to be more awareness like this blog post about how people should stay away from NS because of the issues mentioned. That is not being negative - it is being ethical and doing the right thing for the companies and developers that would end up having broken apps and serious sunken costs into platform that doesn't live up to what it says it does.

I have many Github issues that were acknowledged as bugs but never addressed or fixed. I even offered a workaround that people are probably still using to this day because they never fixed certain bugs and docs. I haven't really interacted with the NS people too much besides on a few issues that weren't answered, so I can't comment on their attitude, but I can attest that everything else the OP is saying is true about NS not being a good solution.

NS isn't soo terrible where nothing ever works. I believe the apps I worked on are still running in production. But, I'll put it this way - everyone learned from the experience that using NS is definitely not a good idea to use for developing mobile apps.
>the NSA must have rows upon rows of servers that could be repurposed for a week or two to destroy the market

Their general purpose servers are nearly useless for mining bitcoin because their hashrates are orders of magnitude lower than the ASICs that professional miners use. If you want to 51% attack bitcoin you either need an absurd number of general purpose computers (possibly more than all CPUs/GPUs that exist on earth) or pour billions into making hardware that can only be used to mine.
It's actually a moment for 2FA.

Also the other commenter is right about victim blaming. The notification about a suspicious login should give appropriate options to safeguard one's account from a takeover.
I think specialized chips work too well for repurposing other computing capacity to work.

I expect the most effective attacks would go after control of mining capacity, either directly seizing it or taking it offline.

I like to imagine this is the Jimmy Neutron origin story.
Of all the things posted on this site, this is the comment that is the most wrong. If his writings are ever quoted again after his death, it will be meant as sarcasm.
Does that apply to Theranos? I can't tell you how many class action lawsuits I've received lately too. Looks like move fast a break things is infecting everything. I suspect eventually the government will HAVE to catch up and redistribute the wealth for the wealthy.

That or the people will do it with some kind of sharp, pointy object I'm sure.
The NSA/CIA/etc. is precisely why this won't happen, for the same reason the same are launching no wide-scale attacks to take down Tor - the guys in suits doing questionable government things need anonymity too.

ICO seems a better idea, indeed, but still you have a situation where the real consumer is a shareholder and the clients are the product. I don't think this is in the spirit of capitalism.
Ask HN: How do you build a business once you have an email list?
Your arguments boil down to people being either uninformed, or of insufficient capacity, to participate in "the game"

We could simplify that to: they don't know how it works.

If you want to take a minute and get better clarity on our lack of a basis for the other discussion, I'm good with that.

There is what you said, in the literal sense, and there's what it means. All I can communicate to you is how I take that meaning.

As for troll, and any other personal judgments, I tend to avoid those.

Finally, the way I see it is simple: people can participate, and should have a voice in the democracy. There should be few limits on that, in fact the minimum possible, none ideally.

They would also benefit significantly, in light of the very strong influence of money on policy and politics right now, with improved ability to work together, understand one another better, find solidarity, and make that participation more than symbolic.

They are more than capable of sharing their life stories, policy preferences, needs, and other things same as anyone else.
Every company does market segmentation: it makes sense to have customers that want a feature pay more for it.

Still, every company does it differently.

For example, both NVIDIA and AMD compute GPUs are necessarily more expensive than gamer GPUs because of hardware costs (e.g. HBM).

However, NVIDIA gamer GPUs can do CUDA, while AMD gamer GPUs can't do ROCm.

The reason is that NVIDIA has 1 architecture for gaming and compute (Ampere), while AMD has two different architectures (RDNA and CDNA).

I am not sure they are comparable. The movie is a documentary and the TV Show is an alternative history exploration of the space race.
Unpopular opinion: I think early-returns make code less readable if you don't put the rest of the function in an else clause. You lose visual parallelism, and suddenly instead of following a tree down to a series of leaves where every leaf terminates, you have to have the full context to know whether or not a line of code may not execute in some cases. For example:

function foo(x) {
if (x == null) {
return null;
}

x += 2;
return x;
}

I can't just look at "x += 2;" and know whether or not it's conditionalized. I have to have the full context including the early-return, and then reason about the control flow from there. Whereas:

function foo(x) {
if (x == null) {
return null;
} else {
x += 2;
return x;
}
}

Here I can tell just from the else-block that this is one possibility which will execute if the other one does not, and vice-versa. Their indentation is the same, cementing their relationship. If I want to know whether this block will execute I need only look at the if()'s, not their contents.
I'd imagine a good number of those new to the top 100 were born into families in the top 1000. Sure they technically built their own tech company instead of inheriting their position, but they did so starting with a small 10M "loan" from their parents and already connected with the movers and shakers of Silicon Valley.
I think the problem here might be the different meanings of "money is tight".

DeFi has a legitimate use case and NFTs have an astonishing number of use cases. Smart Contracts are an incredible, incredible innovation.

We are at the tip of the iceberg and nothing has been more disappointing than seeing the traditional tech world's dismissal of crypto as "get rich schemes". The tech world is surprisingly as complacent now as the legacy dinosaurs it first helped destroy in the 1990s and 2000s.

This isn't the intent being referred to. They aren't referring to "intent to violate copyright law".

If your intent is to comment on Shakespeare, and it happens that what you produced, when run through some process, produces something under copyright, but the thing you intended to express doesn't, I don't think that would violate copyright law? Or at least, no one would convict you.

The data is binary, the encoding doesn't have to be. Most modulation schemes in high-speed digital communication uses more than 2 states, but it doesn't make it less "digital" (in the end, everything is analog). Gigabit Ethernet's PAM-5 uses 5 different voltage levels, but one would not call it "quinary computing". Similarly, Wi-Fi's QAM-64 uses 64 possible combinations of phases and amplitudes, Base64 uses 64-symbol alphabet, but the data represented by all of them is still binary.
For all of the snark that is coming from other commenters, I'm excited to see more engineering talent being pulled to more diverse locations than "the Bay Area" and the rest of the US. Technology and Engineering is not limited to one or two countries, and having a presence in a place the is missing opportunity seems like a win.

Admittedly, Twitter is not my first choice of employer, but it could've been worse. Could've been Facebook.
That wouldn't affect emission rates (at least in the long term), due to network difficulty adjustments.
There’s also the issue that there aren’t _that_ many phone numbers. A determined attacker who got access to the hashed phone numbers could recover the numbers they were interested in with a brute force attack.
Interesting!

On a different note, recently I was looking to learn AWS concepts through online courses. After so much of research I finally found this e-book on Gumroad which is written by Daniel Vassallo who has worked in AWS team for 10+ years. I found this e-book very helpful as a beginner.

This book covers most of the topics that you need to learn to get started:

If someone is interested, here is the link :)

so then we think about what makes Apple's M1 so good. one hard-to-replicate factor is that they designed their hardware and software together, the ops which MacOS uses often are heavily optimized on chip.

but one factor that you can replicate is colocating memory, CPU, and GPU, the system-on-chip architecture. that's what Nvidia looks to be going after with Grace, and I'm sure they've learned lessons from their integrated designs e.g. Jetson. very excited to see how this plays out!
IP transit costs something like $350-$700/mo for a Gbit. Amazon are certainly getting better rates, so even with equipment costs I doubt they're spending much more than $0.005/GiB. Their pricing starts at $0.15/GiB. (Not to single out AWS, the other big providers are much the same.)
I'm trying to understand your perspective.

Would you be ok with Stallman defending Minsky if the victim had been one year older?

Do you think it should be illegal to publicly defend alleged perpetrators/what Stallman did?

Would you react more/less strongly if Minsky had been accused of murder, and Stallman pointed out that the crime was potentially assisted suicide?

Do you not want to work with Stallman because his moral system is not solid enough to you, or do I misunderstand your position?

Would you be willing to work with an ex-convict in general?
