I wouldn't say so.

In gambling you bet $10 in the hope you'd win $100, if you don't, you'll be very unhappy.

In insurance you pay $10 understanding you may otherwise lose $100, but whether it happens or not you're now quite indifferent to. I'm not happy or sad if I pay premiums for years without necessity, nor happy or sad if I pay premiums and I am covered by insurance when a loss event happens. I'm not gambling in the hopes of a potential event that occurs, or doesn't occur, I'm insuring so that I'm indifferent.

Gambling increases risk, insurance decreases it. The Expected Value (EV) of spending $10 to have a 10% chance of winning $100, vs spending $10 to prevent a 10% chance of losing $100, might be exactly the same, but the risk is entirely different. In case A there's 9 losses (cost>EV) and 1 win (cost<EV), in case B the cost=EV every single time, that's what it means to reduce risk. It's very different from gambling in that sense.
It’s like GarageBand in that you can make music with it, but it’s not that it’s OSS, it has a different paradigm to the ‘sideways’ DAWs like GB but you program in vertical strips with samples to make your music.

Not so long time ago it was illegal to teach slaves. I guess the current social system is heading towards that stance again. History repeats itself.

If you want, I can shut up the cleverness with a cargo build example instead of a dummy playground example.
that's a good point, i'll take it into consideration thanks :)
> The "difficult" kids in school are the ones who need help the most.

Schools do very little to help these kids. There are ways to teach low-performers efficiently (they go under the general rubric of "direct instruction") but they go unused simply because teachers do not want to feel regimented in such a rigid structure, even if that's exactly what yields the best outcomes. (So, I'd definitely disagree with GP that "this segment is by its nature low ROI". It's not 'natural', it's pure dysfunction.)
haha yup!! I love OSINT :)
I'm a hobbyist in this space, but my sense is that there is definitely a Github-like platform you could eventually build towards (in the distant future of course). Dataset annotation and workflow is a big area, covering text (which you have the basics of), images, audio, and so many others even within those broader categories (eg: MRI images vs. other types of images, PDF text vs. HTML text, etc).

As psimm mentioned on this same thread branch, there are all sorts of workflows and features that the relevant business users need, and the best way is to actually get 5 of them on a separate screenshare call to better understand their specific workflows. You can then abstract those examples given your own knowledge of the space into entry-tier and premium-tier features, and price accordingly.

Do beware of feature explosion, because many of those discussions will be a list of desired features which, while nice in the long run, don't help you get you a stable next stage in a sustainable manner.

At this stage, find one thing your tool can do exceedingly well for a number of users (ideally who will pay for that).

Interestingly, the Github guys also started out as a side-business while working full-time jobs.

I think you're off to the great start, nice and intuitive tool for text-annotating, so get that flow right before expanding into others. You definitely have something pretty cool here. Congrats again on the launch!

Hey! Bee here :))) Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I hope to make things that help people in their lives :)
Job shop work... it takes 2-4 hours to set up a machine to make a type of gear, and anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 days per gear depending on how big they are. I made almost all the drive bandwheel and pinion bevel gears for Marvel 18" Bandsaws for 4 years, along with a variety of other bevels, along with some spur and helical gears.

It turns out that gears have a rolling contact surface, never sliding (unless you did it wrong), which is why they can last decades. I learned a ton of interesting things about small scale manufacturing. I want to make them on the small scale (4" or less) as a hobby, once I get employed again.
I had an Iraqi neighbour that operated a small pizza joint, in Berlin. The hut was painted in the colors of the italian flag. They looked italian enough, with their mustaches and all, that the germans didn’t distinguish them, unless they would listen in carefully.
I know this sounds radical, but uh, if everyone hates slack how about not using slack?
This is just partially true. The studies you mention are on late treatment (and often on very high dosages). The data points to good efficacy for early treatment though. It seems clear that the only use for HCQ is during the viral multiplication phase which is not what the large studies have been looking into (they never look into early treatment for some reason).
Does anyone know how easy this would be to abuse by staging a ransomware attack?
There’s a parallel to software here, somewhere. When you take out insurance against an event even if you think you could absorb it anyway, what you’re really insuring against is the costs you don’t foresee. I’m having a ‘build vs buy’ discussion at work which is surprisingly analogous.

I think you're overcomplicating this; the meaning of these words is in the acronyms themselves. What's a UI? A user interface -- any layer that goes between the user and some machine. What's a GUI? A user interface that is graphical, or: a layer that uses graphics to go between the user and a machine. Since websites use graphics (pixels, on a screen), and they sit between the user and a computer, they are GUIs.

> Food and housekeeping was assumed to be cheaper

Who assumed that?

You're comparing a situation where there's an unpaid family member, with a situation where the only person cooking is the information worker. In reality, there are a multitude of arrangement between those extremes, invalidating your argument.

Even then, health insurance costs differ between areas. Not to mention that the cost of every option you listed apart from using own time to cook is dependent on the local circumstances.

Similarly, travel and housing are very sensitive to geographic location, unless you want to travel across the world.

I don't think that "flawed economic thinking" follows from your second argument.
You are correct, but there are going to be cases where the help should come in the form of UBI or NIT. Otherwise people on the unfortunate end of the ability spectrum are going to have to get gainful employment somehow.

We should definitely take care of them as a society built on solidarity, but we can be efficient about it too.
Historically the west has pumped out more CO2, but we are not talking about historic levels, we are talking about current and future levels as those are what we can do something about.

And here China and India is going to be the main issue in the growing CO2 production. This has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with physics.

We haven't made great renewables for the same reason we haven't made flying cars: the tech is too far advanced for what we can do.

This is horrible actually. Considering the "great reset" finance and international econ crowd have been on record saying they want to make ownership a rarity by 2030, this is nothing more than pressure PR to signal to others in how they should fall in like with continued amalgamation of assets owner by increasingly smaller pools.
This is how it works in the states or at least in California which I am most familiar with. It’s divided into two parts: liability (damage payout to other party if you are at fault) and comprehensive (damage to your vehicle where someone else’s is not at fault). If you get into an accident and are at fault, your insurance liability pays out to the 3rd party and your comprehensive coverage pays out to fix your stuff if you opted in. Only liability (property and medical) are required as that makes the other party whole if you’re at fault.
Ask HN: Am I an idiot for thinking I shouldn't get a pension?
Honest question.

Note: with pension, I mean any scheme where you put your money somewhere, where
someone will manage it, and supposedly you're going to be OK for the rest of
your days after you stop working.

1.
I have this feeling that I'm just going to be screwed at some point if I do it.
I'd be putting my money in someone elses control. It's more than one person, of
course, but I picture it as a 50 year old white guy in a suit. I don't know
that guy, but I'm being told "Don't worry about it, he'll do the right thing."
But I've also seen people crying on television because they lost their
retirement around the year 2008. So apparently, it's not always going to be ok.

2.
Even though everyone tells me investing in stocks is OK, my brain has labeled
it as "gambling". You’re removing money from your wallet, and whether or not
you get the same amount back depends on an outcome you aren’t 100% sure about.
I don't want to gamble. I definitely don't want to give my retirement money
to someone who will gamble with it.

3.
I feel like companies that are on the stock market are acting irresponsibly.
They could go for the slow grind, but instead they get themselves in a world of
trouble by selling shares. Now they have to deal with short-sighted investors
that only care about money, not about the company itself, its employees, or its
long-term future and impact on the world. If I'm not mistaken, retirement
schemes invest in these types of companies. I just used the word "invest", but
#2 still applies: in my mind this is just gambling.

4.
There seems to be an alternative for me: I could buy the cheapest possible
house ASAP, save up money not spent on rent, use that to buy another house,
etc. I guess people are always going to need a place to live in. I could rent
out all houses except for the one I live in.

I wrote a more detailed version of my thought process here:

This seems a bit reductive.

Sure. There are larger challenges but size, specialization and cost are three things that prevent adoption of this technology at all universities and some companies.

Having more adoption even if its "useless" right now means more people looking for useful things to do.
Yep. IMHO Germany lost WW1 when they failed to take Paris early on. And they lost WW2 when they were stopped before Moscow. Everything after that was just delaying the inevitable. And killing millions. Same for the Japanese, Yamamoto got his timeline quite right before Pearl Harbor.
There are a lot of purposes.

1. Being able to modify it, which was the original intent of RMS. Of course, such a public license would allow users to modify it and even to distribute their modifications for others, as long as they adhere to the rest of the original software license.

2. Being able to audit it. Either from a security perspective (crypto software, online service, etc.) or just for a safety/quality audit.

3. Being able to build it for a platform of your choosing, especially later in time.
Yes, as far as I can tell. I had some co-workers who had Covid really bad last March. My case wasn't that bad, but I've been short of breath, and haven't really been able to focus on things ever since. Unfortunately, testing really wasn't a thing back then, and by the time I did get tested as part of my workup, it was negative for an active infection. If I talk for an extended period, walk a block or two, or just go up/down the stairs, I'm winded and have to rest.
Thse days, in C++, this is routinely done in various std::string implementations (which are both null terminated and have a separate length). In fact the standard was updated to explicitly allow this.

It could just be a cutoff that's set to low, this event does not tell that much by itself. It may turn out that the antenna fries itself at 60C and that's why it's turning off at 50. Or perhaps it could easily handle much more but it was set at that temperature for some reason.

> It was around $900 and had a lead time of a few weeks, so I said I couldn't afford to wait that long. Even though my Apple Care was out of date, they gave me around a 25% discount on a brand new MacBook Pro 15". I was shocked because that's more than I ever paid on Apple Care.

The discount is part of the procedure, and in fact it's part of your premium, too.

Of course not 100% of apple pay customers execute their coverage due to a loss, so it's entirely normal that you'd get a payout that's higher than your premium, it's the point of insurance, and not shocking.

> had I walked away at that point, the Apple Care team would have spent 2 hours diagnosing my 3.5 year old broken MacBook for free just because it had Apple Care at some stage.

These costs, too, are being paid out by your premium. It's not free. The whole insurance package is modelled on probabilities of certain costs, including diagnosis.

> Apple Care is a user experience, not necessarily just an insurance plan

It really is just an insurance. The 'experience' you described is twofold: giving you a discount + diagnosing a problem. Those are both part of your insurance package, for which you paid. You're not getting any favours here.

The fact Apple isn't shady is a user experience, which is great, but you're definitely paying for it through your premiums.

You can also mention how companies encourage disloyalty by paying new starters significantly more than existing employees. I’ve seen great people working hard towards a promotion, putting in the hours, playing everything right - only to be passed over for a promotion due to management politics and a boss that was looking out more for herself than her team. Meanwhile, another employee simply just left and walked into another job with a £25k pay increase. As long as companies continue to be myopic with regards to salaries, it incentivises people to jump ship every couple of years.
Well, they are anyway expenditures.

Somehow they need to be taken into account, if you pay US $ 100,000 to a consultant to harden your infrastructure or if you pay US $ 100,000 as a ransom, you have in both cases US $ 100,000 less, the difference is that in the first case you have an invoice, whilst in the second the IRS has to trust you.

Point might be how to "certify" whether the ransomware attack is "real" or if it could be simulated to only get away with hiding/divert the money (and pay no taxes on those).
Yes, bicycles. Also once saw someone presumably walking the 3,000 km, pulling a wheeled supply cart.
I was willing to give you the benefit of doubt but hiding behind "societal views" and aligning yourself with what "rational" people might do is telling me you are not merely exploring the idea.

I mean, it apparently is an easy choice since it's not your ass on the line

Btw: you probably fooled yourself by accidentally creating 2 sockets, and indeed the first one gets dropped immediately when you lose (overwrite) the reference to it. Use Option to avoid that.
I think this is a key misunderstanding.

The issue is not that we don't know what useful things to do with a QC. The issue is the quantum computers that exist today are not able to do those things.

"Adopting" a machine that can't do anything you couldn't do on your laptop won't help. The challenge for QC to become useful is to scale up and provide working error correction.
Mine does.

I didn't get the impression that she was quite at that stereotype "incel" place. Not quite that bitter, despite the headline. Reading this, I felt that she was in transition of ideas... possibly some disillusionment. Maybe shedding some ideas that no longer work for her.

I think there are two defining aspect to that "bitterness place" we associate with "incel philosophy."

One is intense philosophical rationalising of negative feelings. Hence incel "theories" with Chads, Statcies... latching on to OKcupid blogs and the typically bitter spins on sex statistics. It tends to resolve to very nihilistic worldviews. Incels are really just one famous subset of internet bitterness philosophies. There are many, and they often drift to recurring "bad old ideas."

I think that's the vibe you're picking up. The author is clearly philosophically oriented, and navigating her experiences this way. Since she seems to be in a bad place emotionally, her takes on philosophy have this ring.

The second aspect is a, partly imagined, negative "conversation" with society. Feel rejected by women, hate women, hated by women, rejected by society, reject society... People don't enjoy bitter company, and lack of company is embittering. Mutual shunning and conflict, most of it in one head.

I don't get this part at all. She's not rejecting society back, but is feeling somewhat rejected. She also seems quite self aware. "Try to channel my emotions into better philosophy," implies that previous philosophy wasn't.

Personally, I think people mistake what philosophy is. It's not usually a pursuit of truth. There is no "truth" about the worth of a person, society or whatnot. Philosophy (the ones she's engaging in) is about rhetorical frames, perspectives, ways of thinking. It's art. Philosophies are relevant sometimes sense, but rarely "true."

Peter Singers' utilitarianism (I suspect he's her main culprit) is dehumanising to everyone, if you think of it as applying personally to you. Earlier iterations (eg Bentham) have even resulted in nightmarishly dehumanising prison systems, factories and such. OTOH, it's also very affirming of altruism and has had positive result in this regard.

The way people feel about Singer tends to be closely related to their emotional state. One essay can be a call for some awful eugenicist nightmare or benevolent mutual love... depending on the readers' mindset and which threads they stretch to their "logical" conclusions.
I don’t think it’s as different as it appears at first glance.

Capped coverage does not mean that’s the max a hurt party is able to get, just the max a particular policy will cover per incident. The hurt party’s insurance generally advances any cost they incur immediately as needed and their insurance company recovers the money from the at fault party.

The caps are an important part of the policy because the policy holder can balance the risk of how likely they will be in an at-fault incident and how much that will end up costing total.
> using multiple sources.

That recommendation of theirs is ironic considering the “scheme” consists _of_ said multiple sources.
Ransomware as a (tax)service
REAPER to me has been wonderful. Very light-weight and can do anything that the big ones do. It just doesn't come with a ton of it's own instruments and sounds like Ableton or Logic or others might. But if you have a ton of VSTs (like I do), it doesn't matter.
Teaching is both hard AND hard to evaluate, at the same time. This means that money-motivated people will likely do a bad job there AND will be able to hide their poor performance for years, for the sake of accumulating money.
I don’t find these hypothetical choice situations very illuminating, because (a) they tend to involve spherical cows rather than real humans, and (b) it’s possible to come up with arbitrarily morally tricky scenarios.

Better to spend energy on the actual decisions people face.
My favourite tale is about how the kangaroo got its name.

The story goes, way back when, the white settlers/invaders were going around with aborigines asking them what different plants and animals were called.

The white fella pointed to a kangaroo and asked what's that called? the aboriginal said "kangaroo" which in his language translated to "i don't know", and so it was recorded and why we now called them kangaroos.

unfortunately it's not true :( kangaroo is from an aboriginal language, but it doesn't mean "i don't know"
