I think HN and similar value free (as in freedom) and openness of a system a lot more. So "walled garden" is a bit of a buzzword against those ideals.

> bespoke curation...purposefully tended and safe

These ideas are antithetical to what many on HN seem to want. I personally love Apple products, but walled gardens are great when you don't bump into the walls all the time, which a lot of other people seem to do.

In these cases (wall bumping) I think it's reasonable to want alternatives. But there are fanatics and anti-fanatics that I think skew any discussion about Apple.

Step 1 for being an ethical patent troll would be having enough assets that you aren't just a judgement proof vehicle for lawsuits, but there's no reason that isn't possible. A diverse portfolio of legitimate patents, a healthy bank account, and voila.

There are a variety of reasons why forming a "real company" that produces products might not be practical. For example you might be in a field where the startup costs for a competitive company is in the billions (silicon manufacturing), or that is a natural monopoly already monopolized by one or two big companies (operating systems). Your competitors also have patents on things that you would need to be competitive and for whatever reason you aren't willing to license them.

Or really you might just not be well suited to running a company, bad at managing people or whatever, and if patents are legitimate it seems like they are legitimate regardless of whether or not you want to start a company.

(PS. I'm generally against patents, and strongly against software patents, but that's neither here nor there on whether or not patent trolls are legitimate under the assumption that patents are)

She tried several of the "Free" web based tax apps, and always had problems with them. And yeah, I built her a PC that could run a current version of the software she paid for.

It makes sense when you want to help someone to use the software they already paid for, instead of pointing an elderly person to the web and saying, "See? They have FREE versions, go grab one and figure it on your own!"

Sorry, but that to me is kind of a callous solution compared to what I did.

It sounds like the rest of the CRTC, really.

I don't think there's really much about liking music that decides that it will be played.

The music that is played is chosen by wealthy people, and forced on the listeners. People like things they are exposed to often
my point is that they can already do this with commit history (and more), while this is an inferior way of tracking, regardless of privacy concerns.
It's really nice for exploring data. I find whenever I have ~5+ series on a single axis on mpl I start to struggle to differentiate colours & lines etc. I sort of addressed that by getting creative with dash styles etc, but still it's not ideal. Plotly is much more dynamic & I love the call outs etc. I do find it much less intuitive and less well documented than mpl and it's fussy about the shape of the data you give it. Maybe this new version improves on those things.

Not necessarily. The range is a function of energy over rate of consumption. It's possible the car changed the denominator giving it a further range estimate with less total energy remaining.
Firefox, easy to use and modern. I started using it because I found it hard(Impossible?) to install uBlock on my phone, tried Firefox out and it was super easy to install uBlock that is was forced me to change.
The conclusion almost followed the points except for one major failure of imagination: VR. Apple will release a VR product but it can only do so after the migration to Apple Silicon. Anyone familiar with M1 performance and VR games on Intel will immediately see why. Did anyone else notice/remember what specific use case Apple touted for the the newest generation of Mac Pro? VR content creation. Very resource hungry. Apple can't release the VR device we know they could, without giving content creators the tools. What makes VR more than just a gaming product? Giving everyone with an Apple laptop the ability to create content for a meta verse. You might be thinking Ready Player One, I'm thinking more like a better Roblox. There's massive ARR potential in a VR metaverse ecosystem where everyone can be a content creator / inhabitant. Apple is the only company that could put it all together and make it work from soup to nuts.

> Most of my peers are either completely priced out of the market, or taking on 40yr or interest only loans.

These interest only are the reason my parents lived in a house 2x what they could afford - they took out an interest only mortgage in 2002, paid less on the mortgage than I was paying in rent for a room in an apartment last year, and sold at a 2.5x gain (to someone in my generation who is now mortgaged to the hilt), and bought a smaller home in cash from the proceeds after retirement. It's insanely unfair that the solution to irresponsible lending to my parents generation is to protect their investments and make sure I can pay back what they won't be able to repay.
This is not true. I would have a huge problem with the Inuit enacted a similar initiative. I find these actions to be incredibly narcissistic, sad, and take them to be fundamentally misunderstanding how culture works.

I also find it hilarious. If you want to keep your culture alive, create laws that allow you to prosper economically or militarily. This will cause your culture to spread, slowing but not preventing the inevitable disappearance that some day comes to any society.
> Now I wonder how I can get access to this type of information, how to properly learn it?

You've already got half the solution... "Advanced UNIX Programming" was the goto since it was written, and it has a tonne of industry knowledge e.g fork twice and close handles etc.

"The Linux Programming Interface" is kind of that book for the 21st century, and covers pretty much any topic you'll ever encounter on the systems end.

> Half of the stuff they wrote I didn't understand

Sounds like you bought the books but never read them... because it's all in there.
regexp2go author here: yes, mostly it's the combination of the regexp package not aiming at top performance and therefore omitting some optimizations, the implicit regexp interpreter overhead, and the go compiler not aiming at top performance.

On the avoiding exponential slowdown front, regexp2go and other re2-inspired implementations (including e.g. rust's) all have that as a goal.

> For non-Staff level SWEs, my opinion is that joining a FAANG with lower P/E is better for your future earnings.

No, because mr. Market has been looking at everything except P/E, more essentially you can't spend P/E. You spend price.

If you want to throw in P/E in the analysis fine, but then you have to throw in every other element which makes the stock move:

1) Cult CEO who is able to sell the narrative

2) Fed policy

3) Macro environment

4) Odds of company being targeted by the DOJ

and all the other trillions of factors which influences the price of a security.

As Druckenmiller reminds us: "There is not a phenomenon in the world which doesn't affect the price of a security in some shape or form, no matter how small"
> I think the argument falls apart when you consider that it will take years, probably decades, for a pure vision approach to catch up to where Waymo is today in terms of safety. (They have cameras too.)

On what set of metrics do you think Waymo is safer? IMO it's too early to compare and cherry-picked proofs both from Waymo and Tesla are not really representative.

> this means Canadians will be subsidising music they clearly don't like (otherwise it would be popular and this kind of law wouldn't be necessary)

Are you suggesting that the popularity of music is based solely on its merits and not multi-million dollar marketing budgets of the (mostly English speaking) pop-culture industrial complex? Now that is something for The Onion.

Side note: This rule is provincial, and applies only to Quebec. Many Quebecers love their local artists. Indeed this initiative wouldn't be possible without some measure of support.
The Precautionary Principle is a religious principal.

You see it championed the most by religious organisations like the environmental movement.

This article doesn't quite get the religious framework. These are not the Precautionary Principle -

> medical maxim to “first do no harm.”

> For example, if one person per year dies from an allergic reaction to a guinea pig bite, it’s probably not worth banning pet guinea pigs.

A very good example of breaking the The Precautionary Principle is rolling out covid-19 vaccines. If it's dangerous it could kill humanity.

[edit] Prob not the authors intent but the Hippocratic oath forbids abortions. Which under the Precautionary Principle would be illegal, it could be a conscious human so we should never take the chance.
Yeah, I would only be mildly surprised if this happened a time or two while I was in school. There are some guys that just don't want to go to school, but college football is their only pathway to make it to the NFL.

I'm not really sure why you think "this" graph is "that" important? I'm not even sure why it would help the use-case for Bitcoin and "decentralization".

Bitcoin is a bad implementation if you want controlled inflation. It doesn't respond to any actual economic incentives that have to be done. It's like resetting everything we learned in the last 100's of years.

And yes, a centralized structure is how things like that are decided.

Here's a crypto bank run of 4 days ago - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/iron-finance-details-defi-ban...

Crypto has a long way to go and currently it's full of fraud.

( Or greed)

And if I'm not mistaking. I think crypto is going to start it's fast decline cycle again, just like in 2017-pandemic.

Ps. Crypto is owned by whales and not even possible to regulate. It's ridiculous trying to adopt it as a country. Lightning network breaks it's core utility ( on chain transactions & decentralization) while fixing something else ( expensive and slow transactions)

And don't get me started on stable coins :)
I think that was all covered when I went to high school in the late 90's. I'm not sure if that was the norm everywhere in the U.S. at that time or if it was just that particular teacher thought it was important that we know about that stuff (and if so I think she was right).
I imagine there might also be an effect in play, in which the available miles are calculated using the energy used in the past x miles. Although it should usually take a fairly long distance to change that approximation... I think. Maybe something about using negative energy though regenerative braking skews the approximation.
I often come back to a local repository to change something and think, while I'm at it, I'll just `git pull` and end up with a non-working working directory. Surely I should know better, but I think it's also hostile to users, when the easy thing to do is often the wrong thing to do.

Even worse, I'm not sure I correctly remembered the weird combination of actions and flags to use to get back to the state where I can continue with what I wanted to do in the first place.

That article is a good example of the problem. It tells me `git rebase` is an easy thing to do but I better not use that distributed VCS to publish my work that way, where 'publish' probably also applies to different machines of mine.

Investopedia, Bogleheads, and Nerdwallet are all great resources to learn about investing. I began investing after graduating and landing my first full-time job.

At first, I used a fairly cookie-cutter "three-fund portfolio," as recommended by the Boglehead community. I choose VTI ("Vanguard Total Stock Market"), VEU ("Vanguard All World ex US"), and BND ("Vanguard Total Bond Market") as the three ETFs. In retrospect, I would probably pick VXUS ("Vanguard Total International Stock") in lieu of VEU. But that basic structure is still a good starting point for a new investor.

Most brokers these days have features such that you can set up auto deposits from your bank account, and invest them according to a pre-set asset allocation. So say you want 15% in BND, 15% in VXUS, and 70% in VTI. If on the day of deposit your account is at 14% BND, 13% VXUS, and 72% VTI, then only BND and VXUS shares would be purchased, to make the allocation as close to the desired goal as possible. Likewise, any dividends received can be automatically reinvested.

Another commenter mentioned M1 finance, which I have not used, but from what I have read, looks like a great platform.

That requires the FPGA software to not only solve the halting problem fast enough that you don't notice the lag, but invent backdoor code for arbitrary made up CPU architectures. Even if it was connecting to a godlike AGI in the cloud, I doubt it could pull this off reliably.

I'm an engineer now at Amazon and have bounced around a few organizations in the years I've been here.

Maybe the particular team you interviewed with wasn't happy, but I don't think this is systemic.

Often times, people will jump ship to another team or another org because they have brand new, greenfield projects, or something that the person is more passionate about. You typically don't see people stay in roles where they're unhappy.

Amazon can't certainly do better in how it scales its business, but alot of the posts here that give the appearance that everyone at Amazon is unhappy are exaggerated. Alot of people don't like Amazon, period, and think the company should be broken up. While I think we can do alot of things better, I also believe there's a particular agenda pushed because Amazon is perceived as a threat across many industries, not just retail sales or cloud services.
You’re really proving my point that spark developers have no clue what they’re doing. Keep it up, I’ll keep taking your jobs and cleaning up your mistakes.
> you'll get automatically promoted at the end of the next quarter

This is always a HUGE RED FLAG. Never agree to this. Ever. For any reason. Even if you can get it in writing, you can be laid off, fired, etc.

Get the title when you walk in or don't walk in.

The problem is that titles generally have salary bands. You'd much rather be at the low end of a better title because the high end of the band is higher.

The flip side is that you better know that you can actually do the job. If you come in as a Principal, you're going to be expected to work as a Principal and not a Senior. If you're work is only up to Senior, you're going to get fired.

I, sadly, had to fire a guy who got into this position somehow. He was a nice guy. He could do Senior work. But he was at HR Principal level. We were a startup struggling to survive and I didn't have the time to teach him. So, I had to fire him to free up my slot so I could get an actual Principal that I desperately needed.

He took my advice to land somewhere else as a Senior, and I gave him a nice recommendation. He got pretty close to the same salary and killed it for them at that level.

Exponential growth can continue forever if you shrink the universe of things you're measuring and declare the losers out-of-scope.

Europe, by the 1500s, was running out of land and resources. So they found a whole new continent, genocided the native inhabitants, and suddenly there's plenty of land & resources to support anyone who comes over to the New World. America by about 1880 was about out of land for westward expansion, so invented steel, concrete, elevators, skyscrapers, trains, and urbanized, making land irrelevant. The industrial revolution had largely run its course by 1914, but then we had 2 world wars that devastated Europe and made America the engine of rebuilding. We got to keep our exponential growth, but a lot of folks just...died.

Single-family homes are likely to become a luxury good. Not everyone is going to have them, and prices will keep increasing as they move up the income spectrum. What happens to everyone else depends on whether you believe the world will end in fire (war) or ice (dystopia).
Funny, I sprouted my first seeds in decades, and they are Acacia acuminata, one of a very large taxon of pea-related plants.

A. acum. is known (mainly in Australia) as Jam Wattle, because it smells like raspberry jam when sawn. There are supposed to be 2 million century-old jam wattle fenceposts in southwest Australia. Apparently they are proof against termites and rot. It seems to prefer 26 to 32 degrees south latitude, and sandy soil. Sandalwood likes to grow nearby to parasitize something it can't extract by itself, but can get from A. a.'s root system.

And, A. a. leaves (actually not leaves at all, but "phyllodes") have lots of interesting alkaloids. The bark has lots of tannins, and the seeds have lots of protein.

To sprout them you have to scrape ("scarify") the seeds with sandpaper and then put them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them first. Then, the seed has to be exposed to sunlight while wrapped in damp soil for a couple of weeks.
Whoa, try reading my comment a little more generously, please. I specifically said the current iteration of cancel culture is going overboard. I was not praising cancel culture.

My main point was that cancel culture arose because of a real gap in our society's ability to handle certain types of people doing certain types of awful things... you mentioned that a lot of it could be handled by the legal system, but the reality was, it wasn't.

Weinstein wasn't charged until after he was cancelled. Same with Spacey. Lauer has never been charged. Epstein had been hit with some stuff, but basically let off with a slap on the wrist.R. Kelly had been acquitted before, and was basically unpunished.

All of these people's actions were (1) well-known in their communities ("open secrets"), (2) ongoing, and (3) not punished by any of the traditional institutions of society. Given that reality, and a global communications network where anyone can share their story, how could cancel culture not arise?

If I was praising anything, I was praising the fact that real abusers who operated with impunity for years were finally getting told to just stay home. Because other than Weinstein, that's basically all that happened.

Now, cancel culture being wielded against people like in TFA, that's way overboard, it's counterproductive, and people should stop it. But I think that's something we're going to have to solve as a society, through social discourse, not with government regulation.
What I do is buy a laptop from Best Buy or anywhere I can physically return it.

> Here in Australia the government is talking about letting young people access our equivalent of their 401k to afford a deposit on a house.

Which will have the effect of pushing housing prices even further. It’s like the government providing ever increasing student loans, if you don’t change the supply curve it just increases demand which pushes prices higher.
