My friend, I truly wish interpersonal interaction were 'clear cut', but that is not how things work. And merely wishing that things worked this way does not make it so.
Depends on what you have in mind when you say diversification.

Easiest way to get started in other sectors is to google for stock analysis articles. They are written regularly for the major sectors and they will talk about the biggest/most interesting players, where they stand in the industry terms in recent developments, competitive advantages and risks.

With that said, dividing a portfolio across sectors isn't necessarily diversifying. Last year covid basically dragged the entire market down with it (and it's not exactly an anomaly for the entire market to swing in tandem). So if you're looking for resilience against that kind of risk you want to look into other investment vehicles (bonds, retirement funds, real estate, etc)

Or, if you're in the market for high risk asset types, but want things that do not track the stock market, you can consider looking into forex or cryptocurrencies (though beware, these are not for the faint of heart).
Previously as well: Rocket go up, rocket come down. Rocket still standing.

But the difference with Starship is the amount of fuel burned to slow it down.

I think the real success of Starship was proved a few launches ago - flip maneuver, belly flop and coasting on the belly to slow down sufficiently. Landing took a few tries but it was relatively a smaller success compared to the aforementioned aspects demonstrated during failed attempts to land.
On the flipside of that, Blumhouse is one of the highest ROI film production companies out there
Prices were spiking before the pandemic. Immediately after Trump’s tariffs Canada (and, also China), $/sqft increased over 20% for new construction in the SF Bay Area. I imagine the percentage increase was higher in places where labor and bureaucracy are a lower percentage of construction costs.

I like you are having success here, and the key item "natural communication lines" which I very much agree with. We will always deliver conway's law.

I am curious on 1) the size of your teams, and 2) your opinion on how this would work with E2E product domain based teams (mixed skill sets) vs skills based teams e.g. User engagement team (front and backend devs covering sign on, emails, etc) vs Backend engineers (maintain all backend systems, etc).

CS is basically an alternative to the Quake formula of arena shooters, yet both types of game are still arcadey arena shooters.

Games like Arma can't really be compared to CS. They're completely different games with only superficial similarities (same camera angle, and the presence of guns).

> Maybe it's part of getting older, and if we're still going to play video games they need to be more of an extreme technical challenge for them to be fun for us.

This is definitely a factor. Games like CS, Street Fighter, etc are highly skill and knowledge based, but lean very very heavily on reaction times and stamina.

Even though there's absolutely nothing stopping older players from competing in those (and there are many that do), I think most people just don't find that's something they want to bother with as they age. I'm still in my 20s, but I'm finding the intense pace of CS hard to keep up with compared to when I was in my teens, even though the game hasn't changed (if anything, I'm more skilled today than back then).

My grandpa wrote a rough draft of a memoir of his childhood. He grew up in a German-speaking town in the US around WWI, and he wanted to capture that experience since the harassment that happened to German-Americans during WWI caused those communities to Anglicize. He had more than a few sarcastic references about "patriots."
Not earthquakes though, and these are a significant issue, at least in the west.
Not really, though it depends on what you are building. A large portion of the US is at risk for strong seismic events, and this is reflected in the regulations for building materials. We learned it the hard way. Building with brick and stone to earthquake standards is quite expensive, it doesn’t make sense. If you see brick or stone in a modern building, it is applied as a facade over a wood or steel frame.

Parts of the US were originally built with brick and stone but were destroyed in earthquakes. Civil engineering, along with the ample availability of timber, changed the way the US designed buildings. New England, which does have a lot of stone and brick construction, suffers damage when they experience the rare, moderate for the US (M5-ish) earthquake.

Earthquake safety and cost will never recommend brick and stone in most of the US. They are more likely to switch to steel than brick. There are a lot of brick houses, I grew up in some, but they were built before modern seismic codes. Parts of the US people don’t think of as being earthquake prone have surprisingly large earthquakes. For example, severe earthquakes in New Madrid Seismic Zone[0] in the southern Midwest. In the US, learning the extent of seismic activity in North America was often paid for in blood. Like Japan, everything modern is engineered for it.

You talk like the big ongoing campaign to increase flu vaccination rates is some sort of accident.
Decide what you want to optimize for. Every option has its trade offs.

If you're tired of SF proper, but the rest of the Bay Area is fine for you and you still want the best tech jobs in large numbers, move to the Peninsula, East Bay, or San Jose.

If you want great tech jobs, slightly lower living costs, and don't mind dreary weather, go to Seattle.

If you want to stay in an urban area with a lot of tech jobs and don't mind high living costs and cold winters, go to NYC.

If you want amazing weather, very few tech jobs, a great nightlife, but don't mind a high living cost, go to LA.

If you want hot weather, decent tech jobs, and lower living costs all around, go to Austin.

There are other options besides these, depending on how much you are willing to trade off having lots of job opportunities, weather, living costs, and other quality of life stuff. Politics and racial diversity may also be pretty different from city to city, so decide how important that is to you.

Both of those were fine in the beginning. HS became impossible to play without endless grinding or spending money. Overwatch became tedious and toxic, due to both the players and how the developers responded (spamming in-game voicelines is now "toxic").

I think people just got fed up with online trading card games and the grind/monetization that they have. At least with MTG I can resell the cards... In fact MTG online with cockatrice is way more fun than HS or any of the other clones.
It is also specifically designed to require an otherwise completely unnecessary link to a remote server, and need to rely on that. Sure, it should notify you, but there are a whole bunch of dependencies just for such a notification.

With this level of aggressively pathological design, I would not trust them to have considered every contingency and ensure a fail-safe in every failure mode, particularly since their primary failure mode is fail-unsafe - by design.

Try a different scenario, you need to go somewhere, your vest does notify you, but you need to go anyway, and that's your disaster. Yes, that is a bit more on you, like deciding to go anyway without your helmet which just got stolen, which is pretty stupid but can be necessary - but in this case, the theft is digital and enabled by design.

Sorry, this is rent-seeking at it's worst. I'm sure they'll find fools to subscribe, just as Zuckerberg found plenty of "dumb f*ks" to trust him with their data, but that does not make it right.

You don’t want cash during inflation. You want hard assets. Precious metals and real estate.
It seems a bit ... dead itself. There's a few issues there that haven't really been addressed in a long time.

Definitely a cool idea though, but a little underwhelming when all it found for me was a bunch of unused variables (the boilerplate context manager arguments). And this is a fairly large Python codebase it was running over.

Consider using a "target retirement fund", they have different ones that are based on the expected retirement year, and the mix gets more conservative as that year approaches. Vanguard has a series of them, for example VFIFX for 2050 or VTTSX to 2060. These can be purchased through low cost brokerages other than Vanguard, if you like.

You can also get a financial advisor, to help select investments, at the cost of ~1.5%/year.

I have some money in each of these options, plus my own picks that I manage.

At the bottom of walmart.com, there's a link for everyone to see that says "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" [0]. It takes you a page where it allows you to opt-out of having your personal information sold by Walmart, but only if you live in California, which I do not.

California is further behind on building codes than most neighboring states.

For instance, the local university uses permeable pavement, but the local building code forces homeowners to use less sustainable options, and then spend exorbitant amounts of money on environmentally destructive drainage.
Life insurance ads perhaps.

Why not? Free tuition + living stipend seems like a perfectly reasonable way to achieve a productive, well-educated workforce to me.

My experience has been "I want kids but I don't feel ready". To which I can now say "you never will". Not even with the second one. So jump in when you have a decent job and that's it.

As for the gut feeling, the problem is that it's hard to be exposed to what make children amazing because some if these things are obviously reserved to parents.

Letting your child fall asleep on your lap, because it trusts you completely is always a fantastic feeling.

Just get ready to forego a good chunk of your freedom for a few years, but be aware that it happens gradually. At 3 months you still have a somewhat decent life. At 2 years you need to be mostly dedicated to them.

I think there's a general push to have dirfd versions of all syscalls, since it makes it easier to write libraries that don't break when the application or another library chdir()s.

The same people saying he incited violence are the people who back Maxine Waters who's comments led to violence against police.

So it's hard to look seriously at those "he incited violence" given his YEARS of similar public gatherings and never having incited violence previously.

Key is that he never called for violence, he called for peaceful protests and he condemned the violence.

I mean... it doesn't get any simpler than that.

It seems like none of that work solves the underlying issue that was raised which was specifically search ambiguity between the library and the editor.

That’s really sad. They were one of the few platforms that would carry content honestly no matter how offensive it might be. With how overwhelming the scope and influence of big tech platforms like YouTube are, free speech has few homes left.
I wouldn't tackle it generally. A lot of products are like building a house. You don't generally build a house. It's a very specific thing that encompasses many different fields of expertise. You can build a house and sell it by yourself, of course. But nobody here is going to be able to tell you how in a single forum comment.

Suffice to say you need to learn to become a developer, a project manager, a product owner, an architect, a systems engineer, a customer support specialist, a salesman, a marketer, a financial officer, and an executive officer. If you are good at learning on your feet, you will learn just enough of these things to get your product running and make some money, from a month to a year or more. It all depends.
Your argument against minimum wage would make sense if labour were inelastic. If it were illegal to work more than 40 hours per week, the total available worker hours would equal the number of eligible workers times 40. But that's not how the world works. Halve minimum wage (don't worry, inflation has already done that) and suddenly the people who were barely keeping their heads above water on 40 are now no better off on 80, or they're living on the streets.
> legislative motions like raises to the minimum wage.

Doubt that has much if anything to do with it. According to this study[1], increases of 10% to the minimum wage are correlated with only a 0.36% increase of prices, and minimum wage increases may decrease prices.

"Most new cars sold in USA have breaks that work. It doesnt make sense to test them since this would give the public a wrong impression that cars are safe".

If 3,4 million new cars are sold in USA then probably 99% are generally ok. Because in current world generally most things are ok by default (custom software might be different, but off the shelf software generally works).

But if you would be unlucky 1% where nobody checked the breaks... this would be 34 yhousand cars.

And there is much more cattle raised and consumed so checking everything makes sense.

Not checking anything because 99% will be ok is a pseudoscientific argument.

A similar study.

Been a month since I read it, but if iirc this study examined the relationship between Norwegian adoptive parents and their Korean adopted children. They found, unsurprisingly, that the Korean adopted children tended to be more wealthy, suggesting wealth acquisition traits are culturally learned (to some degree). This conclusion pairs neatly with the op post.
Disabling voice chat makes the game so much better. Can't do that if you're playing competitively, but if you do play comp without a team you're going to have a bad time anyways.

That comes with the territory. Edginess and homophobia are the hallmarks of male adolescence. The more value society places in a slur, the more appealing it becomes.

Games that skew younger and have more female players encounter this problem less. For example, Overwatch has much less of that kind of thing.

Is it human nature? Bad parenting? Cultural influences? Who knows. The good news is that most of these kids will grow up to be normal pleasant adults.

The actual quote is "In fact, in places where we’ve been able to reopen Google offices in a voluntary capacity, we’ve seen nearly 60% of Googlers choosing to come back to the office." That doesn't sound like surveys; I think the 60% of people came to the office once or twice interpretation is more likely.

(Also possible that the offices that were opened were more heavy on hardware / "lab" roles, so while maybe it was officially "voluntary", those people effectively had to choose between coming back to the office or doing fake / busy work at home.)
But that's the very large majority...
The fact they were HQ'd in London always confused me. Yes the EU gives you some protections, but taking a pseudonymous TPB-style approach is probably easier for everyone (support, operations, management, marketing) than the legal grey area LiveLeak operated in.

Also the end of the note from Hayden sticks with me, I know the type of videos or users he's referring to and I don't think the majority of readers will realise just how fucked up this platform was. Yes, there were videos from the likes of Lasse Gjertsen who made people question a lot of the content they saw, but there were some real ones in there too.

> Lastly, to those no longer with us. I still remember you.

I'm not sad it's gone. But there should probably be a place for all of this type of content, I'm just not sure where. The public internet probably isn't it.

Reading the ToS for the new site.. It seems all the content that made LiveLeak so popular (murder, shock videos, terrorism, suicide, sexual violence) is the exact content they won't allow. Seems a little bit like management are wanting to settle down, they know the main brand isn't going to be profitable long-term - but they can at least monetize some of it by building a video hosting site from its userbase.
