Not all things have this kind of solution though. Having an affair is always going to be something people prefer to keep secret. Changing society to accept freedoms is a long way away. For that matter, all sexual proclivities/orientation is something that even if all legislation says it is okay, society will still have its own opinions.

I've deliberately cultivated this.

As I often as I remember I adopt the perspective of someone who's 14,000 years old.

I don't know why I haven't died, and at this point I don't expect to at anytime in the future.

But I don't know I won't - so I'm still careful, and grateful.

But I don't let things bother me, because I've seen it before. And all my plans are long-term, because centuries to me are the same as quarters for you.

It seems crazy, but it's really changed how I think. I got the idea after watching the incredible movie, "The Man From Earth"
It was his family office, not a public-ish hedge fund.
Still sounds hyperbolic. "Form of abuse," is pretty ridiculous. It's like saying, "you are assaulting me with your words."

A better phrase from a person who wants to be taken seriously would be, "that can be naive," or "that's ignoring other people's burdens," "that's not always accurate," etc. "Form of abuse," is just over the top in my opinion.

He's certainly not doing anybody any favors hinting that they are the victim of something (abuse) when they are clearly not in his context.

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek, but no. Inflation relatively benefits those who have a higher percentage of their net worth in assets than cash (i.e. the rich). It also benefits those who have a lot of debt. Before the Fed got into the habit of keeping artificially low interest rates as a means to originate inflation (and fund Congress), this might have benefited the poor (at least those credit-worthy enough to take on meaningful debt). But now, the depreciation of debts in an inflationary environment also tends to disproportionally benefit the wealthy, who have easy access to cheap credit and frequently use it.
Because the pay is high to offset the downsides.

Not sure about FB, but Youtube reportedly pays moderators an annual salary of $37k [1] and Glassdoor reports the average content moderator salary is $45k. The US Health and Human Services put those salaries between 3 and 4 times that of the poverty guideline for a single person.

This poverty guideline describes the bottom 12% of the US population. The Youtube salary describes the middle 33%.

In the referenced Youtube article, the man "worries that he will not be able to find another job that pays as well as this one does".

Thank you very much; I was hoping for some more direct answers, e.g. diameter of the ring is 400 mm and speed of rotation is up to 15 RPM. I'd like to do something significantly different with this design (outside of astro-photography, so different properties and ranges are relevant) and was interested in existing capabilities.

I saw the video and knew approximate values, I just wanted to see explicit specs - like blueprints for parts with sizes, or capabilities of motor-belt-ring coupling.

> making 4000 - 5000€ per month, which would translate to ~$65.000 per year

I don't know what is the situation in your location, but in one country which fits your description it is customary to talk about the _net_ salary, i.e. after all national and local taxes; in the US, the UK and in many other places the salary is always discussed on pre-tax bases.

To make things worse, in that particular country even the official figure - the one that is put on a contract - is not what the company is actually paying (for) you, as there are some taxes that are added _on top_ of that figure, effectively making them taxes for taxes. :/

Apple successfully upgrades a huge majority of all their phones in the field, and nearly all of those users are barely even aware of it. They plug their phone in at night, sometimes in the morning there's a message about a new version. Maybe they notice their phone is slow for a day or two, likely they don't. No major incidents involving mass-bricking of phones, no rollbacks, no data loss... arguably the most successful update system in the history of technology.

It is about making money. Starlink is a money generating system that makes use of low cost launch made possible by SpaceX.

If it does use up most of the low orbit space it is because SpaceX is the only company that is even capable of launching that many satellites and making money on it. Until there is another challenger there is zero point in complaining, because competition is not even an option.

Since it is low orbit it is self limiting problem. Any low orbit satellite has a limited lifetime of a few years without power.

It's a family office, not a public investment fund, so I don't think the "other's people's money" phrase is valid here.

It's kind of fuzzy just how much of it was leveraged, but there's more clarity into the situation of the family office in this article -- https://www.ft.com/content/c319839d-d185-4e8a-bbc7-659bebe58...
Archegos Capital was largely Bill Hwang (and his family's) money.

No one really weeps for this guy. This is absolutely a situation where you can be Nelson (from the Simpsons) and just laugh at this idiot's mistake, without feeling bad about it. Overleveraging billions of your own money, and losing it all in a couple of days takes a certain level of recklessness.

There were a few banks that got caught up in this issue (Credit Suisse lost $5 billion on this). But once again, we can just sit back and laugh at Credit Suisse for failing to account for the risk in granting Bill Hwang leverage.

Not like an "Evil Laugh" or anything, but... sometimes investors make a mistake (be it a fund like Archegos Capital, or a bank like Credit Suisse). When they make mistakes, they loose $Billions. That's part of the risks they take when they do their business. Fair game when they lose on their bets.

Correct. These are high paying jobs.
This isn't entirely the fault of Electron though, but the convenient data types exposed in a web environment. Beyond the baseline memory of running Chromium, you could use various tricks to keep memory very low such as minimizing GC (eg. declare variable up front, not within loops), use array buffers extensively, shared array buffers to share memory with workers, etc.
Regardless 1000 page documents _are_ the sort of things that full-fledged word processors should be able to support.

Wouldn't it be better if the government simply did it's job? They're supposed to take care of things like basic infrastructure so that people won't have to care about this stuff. Internet is part of infrastructure.

It uses BLE (I believe), and data upload can be combined with other requests on the iPhone's next cellular connection request. CPU use is going to be extremely minimal. BLE power usage for a low data rate transmission is very, very low.

But does switching to using canvas solve that problem?
Okay great. It was announced 3 years ago. Regardless of which version (pre/post 1.0), there really hasn’t been enough time for Deno to take hold. My point stands.
It has done this rather well historically. A failing, badly managed company is most of the time going to be worth less than a highly successful one or one that's growing and gaining traction. That's why when a company beats quarterly earnings, the stock price goes up. It's also why Enron's price crashed when their fraud was revealed. That means capital is typically and on average flowing in a productive direction versus the alternative, which is good for the economy for obvious reasons.

HFT isn't relevant to this picture, their role is primarily market making and arbitrage and they have no net impact on pricing. Their sole role is to replace human market makers in a liquidity provision capacity, which reduces the cost to the active manager of doing business, at the expense of the extinct human market maker.

Hedge funds aren't that consolidated. There's lots of them. There's no such thing as market power (in terms of oligopoly or monopoly power) for the industry either. The bigger you are, the harder it is to operate on a marginal basis, since price impact becomes prohibitive. Hedge fund spin offs are a dime a dozen since all the IP is in individual's heads. The biggest ones are resigned to longer bets where the edge is smaller. Market power is a thing only for HFT firms, due to economies of scale and scope on the tech and fee side, but as mentioned above HFT aren't relevant to what we are discussing.

Index funds chase valuations set by active managers since they're typically investing in market cap weighted indices. Their existence doesn't change the value add or necessity of accurate security pricing, and they're not really relevant to that either.

The more you learn, the more you grasp the massive quantity of knowledge that you don't have. You can't learn or improve if you think you know everything.

I would say humility is the most important quality for an engineer to have if they want to be able to grow as an engineer. I've come across a small number of engineers that have lacked humility and acted as if they knew everything and they were a nightmare to work with. The first instinct they have when they approach most problems that they come across is that the issue can't possibly be caused by their code and you have to provide an unreasonable amount of evidence or a smoking gun to convince them to investigate their code. They design solutions as if they know the perfect way and they seem to lack empathy for users or others that may have to maintain that code.
> Also, that when they print the books, the quality sucks - thick cheap printer paper, toner saver enabled.

For what it's worth, I found the printed copies of my self-published book from Amazon often had higher quality than many CS books I have from traditional publishers.
That sounds to me like the business owners are failing to pay competitively. If the unemployment benefits are higher than their wages, it's the wages that are the problem. Also, have you spoken to the ex-employees directly? How do you know they haven't moved on to better paying jobs and that's why they're not returning?

I've personally spoken to a regional manager for a chain that owns a number of small restaurants, and they recently faced a similar issue when the brass decided they would move all the drivers to wait-staff pay. They lost EVERY driver on staff when they saw their first check. They could make more money moving to Uber or competitors.

Pay competitively, or the market solves the problem for you. Yeah, there's gonna be the bad apple in the mix that would subsist on Unemployment benefits or UBI, but that minority isn't an argument why UBI is bad.

I don't believe in the argument around the concern that UBI can be raised so high by taxing the rich that it tips the scale. When 1% of the population controls such a high majority of the economy, at what point do you say that they're the problem, not the people on UBI?
Leverage still makes lots of sense if you can put your liabilities in a separate limited-liability container. If you win, you win big; if you lose, you lose a finite amount in the form of the down payment, get a percentage of the value back as something you can deduct from your taxes, while whoever lent you money is stuck with your asset.

(This does become problematic at scale when you borrow from the government or taxpayer-backed entities, like when Fannie Mae originates your commercial real-estate venture's mortgage.)

It depends on what your job is.

if your job requires "soft skills" like ass kissing, saying yes, "providing tough feedback" to the minions when the overlord is displeased, and your last 6 figure bonus was because of some form of Hawaiian shirt day. Then yes you need to be in the office for that.

But if your job comes from a queue and a comment or message can clarify your task then how actually "engaged" do you need to be.
> What are the odds batteries hit a wall before they're viable in heavy trucks? I dunno but certainly not zero.

Lithium Ion battery costs have improved tremendously over the past few decades, but energy density has not improved at nearly the same rate. Energy density is the primary problem with electric trucking, because it significantly reduces the payload a truck can provide for a given range. I would be skeptical of electric heavy trucks without a real breakthrough in energy density.
The editor is all DOM based apart from the minimap. More pixels could definitely be pushed faster by re-writing it in canvas but it would be quite the undertaking when you consider accessibility, backwards compatibility, monaco extensibility, etc. with the end result just being a improved scrolling experience.
This is perhaps going to be an unpopular sentiment, but I think far too much breath is wasted on the "don't be clever" edict. No examples even spring to mind of any past experience where I ran into someone's "too clever" code causing me headaches. It has been dealing with the mountains of "not the least bit clever" code that has sucked thousands of hours out of my career. Mundane, "straightforward" code where they've re-used variables for different purposes, or deeply nested conditionals with multiple, multiple booleans in each check (often redundant, if not contradictory) and generally taken 50 lines of code to accomplish what could be done more cleanly in 10 or fewer. I'll take puzzling a few minutes over some too clever code over slogging through spaghetti code any day.

Yes. Even beyond that, my understanding is that the fundamental issues with email are that:

a. It is used as the basis for setting up a lot of accounts, but there is no clear way to establish identity with an email account.

b. SMTP is very dated, and the large amounts of metadata (if not the entire body of every mail as well) that goes through it is doomed to be in plaintext forever

c. Encryption is far from standard, PGP is very clunky and has problems of its own, and just doesn't have adoption. It works, somewhat, but it's not really good enough.

Especially the GTAV dataset is often used as a synthetic dataset for research. The appeal is that you can extract normal/material and other semantic information from the game engine for a driving scene.
