> In an interview with ProPublica, Pensco founder Tom Anderson recalled how Thiel and other PayPal executives had wanted to put startup shares of the company into traditional IRAs.

> Anderson dangled something sweeter.

> “I said, ‘If you really think this is going to be big, you know, you might want to consider this new Roth,’” recalled Anderson, who is now retired. If the investment ballooned, he remembered saying, “‘you’re not going to pay tax on it when you take it out.’ It’s a no-brainer."

> The math was compelling. Thiel wouldn’t get a tax break up front, but he’d avoid an immense tax bill later on if the investment surged in value.

For everyone else who is open minded:

Thiel's IRA held Confinity shares. In 1999, Confinity wasn't worth much. In 2021 the company now known as PayPal is worth quite a bit. Confinity could have just as easily folded, been a victim of the dot com bubble, failed to make a deal with Elon Musk's x.com and lost to them, or had any number of disasters along the way that would have wiped out that portfolio.

Even ProPublica's reporting admits this was a risk. The investment adviser's words are "If you really think this is going to be big, you know, you might want to consider this new Roth."

Ironically, because startups fail so much more frequently than they succeed and because the federal government doesn't tax wealth but income, which can be artificially minimized in relatively simple ways, the government would probably be better off if all startup shares in all companies were held in Roth IRAs, since they'd be taking an up-front cut of a likely failed investment.

Thiel's vast fortune held in a Roth IRA is a corner case, but any talk of it "depriving" the government of revenue when he pre-paid taxes in good faith according to the law and thereby took a fairly significant risk without the benefit of hindsight seems like pure envy.

...you get a little older, and you realize everyone’s struggling in their own unique way, and trying to hide it. Social media distorts things even more. No one is living that perfect life you think they are. No one. Not a single one.

I worked for Facebook for a while and the only social media account I have left is Facebook, and only to keep in touch with my friends from Facebook. I deleted Instagram, I never used Tiktok or WhatsApp, I met my wife in real life.

Thinking about this a little more -- I'm not sure anyone is asking for something "more efficient" than html - at least in the USA, we're no longer bandwidth strapped. I thought the internet in UK was decent enough - at least when I visited in 2016 it was good enough to load google maps on 4G.

For semantic parsing, probably went too far down semantic web tags. A simple "tel:" link works for most people and there's phone integration already. ex:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>My co</title>
<a href="tel:123-456-7890">123-456-7890</a>

(not well-formed, but it works!) - no js, no json required - good ole' html.

Yes, that's the point of an insult.

> Nobody wants to maintain legacy software for free in their spare time. That's all it is.

This is 100% false, a lot of people do. In fact a language (Free Pascal) and framework (LCL) i am using has a very good track record for preserving backwards compatibility while at the same time continuously improving. I have code i wrote two decades ago that work fine with it and will automatically get the new features introduced just with a recompile.

The same can't be said for, e.g. Gtk: Gtk2 apps not only wont get any new features from Gtk3, but they wont even compile. Same with Gtk4, because making the mistake twice wasn't enough.

> If you're willing to listen, I could describe to you the technical reasons why Xorg was abandoned.

There are no technical reasons, Xorg is code, code can be modified. It is all political reasons at best and people wanting to rewrite stuff they'd rather not bother learning about. As JWZ writes in his CADT page:

<<Fixing bugs isn't fun; going through the bug list isn't fun; but rewriting everything from scratch is fun (because "this time it will be done right", ha ha) and so that's what happens, over and over again.>>

> the reason it's perceived as being "stable" is because it's not being improved anymore -- if people were still hacking on Xorg instead of Wayland, then your Xorg would be breaking left and right too.

Xorg improved all the time over the years going back to the XFree86 days, adding new features consistently without breaking existing code and applications. If it suddenly started breaking now it wouldn't be because it is impossible to not break but because the developers somehow started breaking it.
Hey I just wanted to say to watch out with social (FB, Tinder, anywhere people curate their content) as what you see really isn’t reality, people are showing off and it generally makes people feel bad about themselves that isn’t just you. Not to mention dating is hard in itself so no wonder Tinder gives you bad vibes.

I’d focus on getting out a little more with people face to face - try to nurture some good relationships, romance will come don’t rush it.

Be proud of the programming and maths that you love - it’s part of what makes you you.
Thanks for clarifying - damn auto correct!

I petition that it is considered as possible, and even a good practice, for (relatively) new domains, with too few well-known ways to compare the candidates' merits (diplomas, course of studies, apparent achievements...). Software development is such a field.

This is a similar argument to not naming code directories based on anything reasonable, and naming them after types of fruit instead, because only by reading the code in each directory can you really understand it, and it always changes anyway.

I think it’s better to at least try to make a name that transmits partial meaning or a general gist of the idea.

Answering this question to me is like asking “if you could have different parents, who would you choose?”

I recently turned 40. I realized I was not the same person I was at 20. But because of who I was at 20, and the decisions I made, I created who I am now. Just like you might wish your parents were different people, not abusive, or didn’t have certain behaviors. Or maybe wish your mom had met another person. But then you wouldn’t be you?

So there is not a current “me” that I feel can really answer these kind of questions IMO

As an app developer (both Android and iOS), I can tell where. When I’m done with the basic app features the app is no more than 3-5 MB but then I can’t ship it without some libraries that make me money - analytics and ads. Then again, if I only integrate one or two ad network SDKs, the revenue from the app can’t even support its development. So I add 12-15 different SDKs from all the ad networks and have them compete for the ad space. Then again, I need things that track crashes, and then offer in-app support, then someone emails you that you can silently earn $xxx per day only by integrating their SDK. Why not? Who doesn’t like an extra $xxx a day?

See what I did there? I turned that 3MB app to a 80MB app.

Disclaimer: Most of my apps are ~15MB and I try to put them under 20MB on Android.
That assumes that the problem is in their model, not their implementation.
On iOS apps can’t find out what other apps you have installed.

Funny you mention that because you do not include SDL (and rightfully so because the actual configuration for SDL can differ from system to system) and i actually had to remove SDL from some older games to get them to work under Linux exactly because they decided to ship the libs they relied on (and SDL wasn't the only problematic one, just the most known).

Shipping libraries only helps if whatever these libraries rely on is also stable and the functionality they provide is still available. After all a library might still be using a stable ABI so all it can tell you is that OSS is not supported - which while technically correct and wont cause the program to crash (assuming it can handle not having sound) isn't very useful in practice.
I agree he used a trash example. I would offer include guards/pragma once as a slightly better example.

Beware survivor bias here. No-one regrets what they did well, but misses what they gave up to do well.

A very viable route is to spend the next 5 years maximizing your money and career. At 28 it is unlikely you'll regret options. (On that note, if you come from money, taking risks is the way to maximize your options).

I don't know if you have people (to talk to, rely upon, etc.). Most humans need to have people, if you don't have them then you should find some. In my experience this requires low level engagement over a long period of time, so there's no reason not to start early.
Haskell has a library called monad-validate that I think is a great example for both what the monad laws are important for, and how it's important that one understand their reasons, instead of just following advice literally on every possible situation.

Just as yo want to break addition commutativity so you can approximate real numbers, there are times when you want something to behave like a monad, but not follow its laws.

For reference, I'm 37 now.

First, I wish I didn't take my health for granted.

When I was 24 I gained about 40lbs. I had previously been very active, and I quit participating in some physical hobbies that kept me thin & fit.

Without paying it much attention, I gained those 40lbs and on and off have struggled with weight throughout my 30s.

Second, I wish I had also put a lot of thought into assets vs liabilities and focused on owning assets. It's a much better use of your money, and the time you spent earning that money. I "accidentally" purchased an asset (a bar) when I was 26, so I got lucky here, but I could have done much better.

Third, I wish I had been a better partner to some people I dated. I'm good in a lot of ways: I don't lie, cheat, call names, etc. But I'm stingy with my time. I've always been a loner, and it takes a lot of effort for me to act differently. But I believe it could have been worth it.

Fourth, and this isn't for everyone: I wish I had enlisted. I was fresh out of high school when 9/11 happened, and I've always regretted not enlisting. But the military and the activities they're involved with are very interesting to me.

Overall, it's hard to screw it up too badly, especially if you're asking questions like this one. Optimize for health and financial health and you will potentially save yourself much of the drama and suffering life can bring. Good luck!
The endpoints for vaccines are “does the person end up in the hospital and does the person die of COVID” not “does the person get infected”. To that end, the vaccines are still effective.

From the original WSJ source [1]: “Analysis by England’s public-health agency suggests vaccines provide significant protection against Delta after two doses, reducing the risk of symptomatic illness by about 80% and the risk of hospitalization by around 96%. That is only slightly weaker than the protection vaccines confer against Alpha, also known as B.1.1.7.“

Here's my list of actions you can do right away to break yourself out of torturous loops.

1. If you're stuck in a thought loop walk into another room (or even better go for a walk in nature).

2. Write a stream of consciousness every morning. Force yourself to write three or more pages (keep this writing hidden and secret, it's scary what comes out, especially at first).

3. Take cold showers. You can start warm, but aim to have a two minute cold shower. Or even better going swimming in cold water everyday.

There's too much cynicism everywhere nowadays. It seems that modern society has become full-on technophobic. Even HN discussions, which you'd think would be a bunch of technophiles. However, the headline and original twitter thread do especially tend to attract such a crowd. If it was a thread titled ""look at this amazing high-tech convenience store in Tokyo" or something, the discussion may hove gone completely differently.

Though in fairness there's also a more wonkish HN-specific mockery of an over-engineered product failing to perform as well as a cheap pane of glass. I got a tablet PC in the relatively early days and people would joke how their 99 cent notepad graphically outperformed my $2000 fujitsu. But obviously my clunky early tablet PC could do far more other things even then.
Most guys don't know how to game their profiles. While I didn't match with like 7s-10s, I certainly matched, talked to, and met up with many women. Unfortunately in my area a lot of women who are single in their mid 20's typically have a kid, aren't very attractive, or are just very odd that most guys don't want to be with them.

But ultimately OP needs to get off Tinder not because it's bad for his self esteem. Mostly because he probably doesn't even have the appropriate aptitude to date at this time. Also, do not go into dating because you don't want to be lonely. Girls want to be your anchor, not the other way around. The cultural stereotypes of "the 'ol ball n chain" exist because the people who actually are in relationships understand this social dynamic. It's the people that aren't that don't.

What package and how complex is it?
Small planes:

1) Still often file a flight path in advance, and must do so if they are using instruments to fly, which is anytime they are flying at night, reduced vision, or even mildly poor weather. Even those who choose not to file will still have their takeoff/landing activity recording in flight logs.

2) If the transponder fails they will still be in radio contact. They are required to radio control, and will be proactively contacted by control as well, and then be tagged on radar.

3) If both radio & transponder are not functioning, it is a serious enough incident to require an incident report afterward as it will require an emergency landing performed with significant risk & without coordination of control.

In all of the above circumstances there will be easy data available to identify the aircraft.

At best, your argument says there are circumstances where a normal plane will-- very briefly during flight-- be a UAP as control attempts to regain coms or land the plane safely. They will never make it to the point of needing to be accounted for in a National Intelligence report on UFO's and their possible causes.
> the government would probably be better off if all startup shares in all companies were held in Roth IRAs, since they'd be taking an up-front cut of a likely failed investment.

Only if the alternative was holding it in some other tax-advantaged account like a traditional IRA.

Most start-up shares are held in normal taxable accounts because the holders haven't performed shady sales below market value to launder them under the IRA contribution limit. Compared to that the government only loses money by having them in a Roth account.
