1: One of John Bogle’s concerns was that the funds were becoming so large, they would cause some systemic issues in the long run, because there are limitations to how much funds can own of these companies. This is something you can easily Google and read about on your own time, and it will produce a better response than I can regurgitate here.

But basically, in our lifetime, there will be some sort of reorganization of these funds so that they can continue to grow, I expect.

This will presumably either happen in legislation, or funds being split across some entities at some level.

My guess is, think VTSAX Fund I, and VTSAX Fund II. New clients being moved into Fund II, and Fund I being closed to new investors.

Also, just… more people invest. Period. It’s very different from the investing rages of the past. This sort of volume today is known to remove pricing at large from the stock market.

That is, Tom, Dick, and Harry are going to continue to buy into the stock market by their 401(k) contribution no matter what the price is which is staggeringly dangerous.

Because of this volume and the US still being the preeminent nation on earth to invest in (no Chinese risk, no Indian maximum retail pricing), securities may continue to be overpriced well into the near future.

I would simulate those market details by reducing potential future returns, which is current conventional knowledge. Less than 5% is frequently discussed and is certainly a safe, and even generous, as a maximum threshold for the next decade.

During the initial COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, the crash then did nothing to bring securities back down to fair market values, so many people just didn’t buy.

If you did, you would have made out great by now, but if you did then, it wasn’t because of the price of stocks. Some people just “bought the dip” without realizing it wasn’t a dip.

A full bushel of Apples today is not worth $250.00. But if that’s all you saw for the last half-decade, and it fell to $200.00, you’d think it was a great deal until you realized the replacement value of Apple trees would generate Apples at lower prices if you just planted them now yourself.
Multiple American fabs--older nodes, but there's still plenty of stuff to be made on 14nm, let alone 90nm. Patents. A sales-pipeline team used to working with external partners instead of doing everything in-house.
1960s mainframes were “field serviced” for processor errata by going out to every installation and hand-soldering some pre-planned bodge wires onto the boards, according to very detailed patch schematics.

And their backplanes were breadboards!
I used to use Anarchy (or.. I think they had to change name?) but Arch itself has an installer new (as of last month or so), so I'll just use that next time.
I wish the media would look at smaller, less known companies and their employees. Apple is a place people the world over would love to work at, and would gladly give up working from home to get a job at. I can totally understand desire to work from home, but those article seems like these employees are just spoiled.
The only thing that comes to mind is that IBM is suing GloFo for their utter failure to advance the process and fulfill their orders.
Your post seems to imply that end to end encryption is bad and that we need a surveillance state run either by corporations or government in order to protect children.

We need to not head down this path.

Protecting children has always historically been led by their own parents and we should empower that. Improvements should always be about parental education (teaching parents to recognize the signs of abuse/grooming before abuse) and cultural education (teaching about the harms of sexual abuse so that potential offenders don't act). Contrary to popular belief, most pedophiles are not actually psychopaths and actually have consciences and if they see the damage that their actions could cause, they're less likely to act and more likely to find non-damaging outlets for their urges (simulated or drawn material, as two examples).
Could anyone comment on the relative speed of the UHS micros SD cars these support VS. NVMe (I know it's faster) & specifically how the UHS would compare to a traditional HDD (not SSD)?
That's an interesting idea. Currently there is no financial incentive to pick successful projects, because the entrepreneurs don't receive the repayments personally. We may add something like this in the future.

From my experience, most people in developing country communities such as our entrepreneurs' routinely act altruistically and give away a much higher percentage of their resources than in industrialized societies.

As a former economics student, I've been constantly surprised by the extent to which simple altruism motivates behavior at Zidisha. The original Zidisha concept was a marketplace based on financial incentives (including interest for the lenders), but most of our users didn't want that.
> Makes people feel uncomfortable - that is a lot more common these days.

People feeling uncomfortable on what were previously normal requests is also quite a bit more common.
and they will be replaced by people who are willing to come in. do employees actually think they are not replaceable?
> Wow. I put myself in your shoes for a second and felt fear.

It is actually the only thing that keeps me up at night. I am crew on a lifeboat and need to live within a certain distance from the boathouse, otherwise I would move tomorrow. The RNLI is too important a part of my life to leave behind otherwise. I may be able to afford some land higher up (60m+ in the future).

> I always wanted to do the same (be self-sufficient in such ways).

I am definitely not self-sufficient (especially not socially)! I could maybe take care of my family for one calendar year (one growing season and one winter), but it's a maybe. If we're talking about a situation where people are physically (violently) competing for resources, then I'd be in the same boat as everyone else (by design, I'd add - I have no desire to be the lone survivor behind a fence or whatever while other families starve).

> I probably will never be living like that (unless homelessness count, bleh), but good for you, I envy you. :)

Thanks! It actually happened because I gave up on living in a city. Certainly, there's a lot of people I knew in SF/Bay Area, London, and Dublin who could do what I did overnight (probably even as a side project), but don't, so I don't think funding is the limiting factor for most.

I hope things work out for you. I know it's trite to say online, but if you decide to do it, it's certainly a path you can take. It will involve sacrificing other paths not taken, though - the bill for opportunity cost escapes no-one.
Perhaps they experienced WFH for the first time and they don’t want to lose it.

Luna: A multi-tool for building, analyzing, and hacking USB devices
So would this purchase point towards Intel believing they either can make up the process advantage of TSMC, or that they don't need to?

Genuinely curious what you think.
The problem with most these malthusian style analyses is a presumption of a first-order system within their models. Human society is more able to adapt than deer herds, between both social changes and technology with second and third order effects.

Peak oil, is correct is some sort of technical sense, but continues to be consistently misforecast due to underestimating both technical innovation and exploration. Cost-effective reserves grew much faster than depletion, and now we also have alternatives and increased efficiencies that have reduced/flatlined consumption even as feasible capacity continues to increase. That doesn't mean there isn't some finite limit (and even if there wasn't, that we wouldn't want to limit CO2 regardless) but that the modeling process is just too simple.
I am.

With the three mocks I gave, there are 2^3 - 1 = 7 possibilities of which mocks a particular test needs. Of these, three are degenerate cases of a single mock each which would be served by the individual make_* already, so that leaves four cases of make_foo* that you'd need to implement.

With more than three mocks, this number grows rapidly.

I learned Montgomery multiplication from the Handbook of Applied Cryptography (Menezes, Oorschot and Vanstone), and coded it directly from the pseudocode therein. Not to mention lots of other crypto algorithms. This book is a gold mine.
it is fascinating because almost everything in the neorepublican universe is 99% branding.
Let them quit, unless it's their marketing department.

Throw more money at the marketing department to make them comply.

Apple users have always dealt with hardware and software issues, the engineers are interchangeable. The brand image is non negotiable.
Intel wants to get into the foundry business. 99% of what Intel does is for their own chips. They don't have the support infrastructure of being able to deal with external customers. Global Foundries has that.

You don't just decide to make a chip. There are hundreds of foundry specific libraries, design rules, and more. There are always problems with the EDA CAD tools for new processes and you need lots of support people to answer questions and help debug problems that your customers are having.

Intel has tried being a foundry before multiple times over the last 20 years. They always fail and give up after a couple of years.
beautiful grift. I didn't click the promo video for full schadenfreude but wow I want to.

I feel bad for users that phones are such black boxes, that it's not easy to differentiate snake oil from not, to understand what you have, what the system does. that we have consumerized devices to such a point that trust is awarded or removed based primarily on feel rather than evidence or knowledge is a stunning state for tech to have fallen to.
There are more than boobs, etc. on the internet these days.

Today we have criminals, government, criminals in government, and numerous corporations desperate to build surveillance profiles on us at every opportunity. These are passed to third-party aftermarkets to the highest bidder. Once obtained, no one is concerned about securing that data.
Regarding "do what you love" I haven't yet been able to find a high-paying job whose primary responsibilities are taking naps, watching tv/streamed video, eating snacks, playing games, and posting on HN.

I think the path of centralised internet advertising organisations is to blame for many ills. IE Google.

By outsourcing ads to a 3rd party the website has lost an element of control over their "own space on the internet" and hence led to mish mash crap on so many sites - and it follows you making the sites all blend into one another!

I would accept a website to host it's own static advertising - not GIF, not video, not audio - that doesn't discriminate between myself and fellow humans. A website on my browser, or any similar browser around the world, should be the same, barring accessibility differences.

This would bring us back to motoring websites having ads for cars, tech websites having ads for tech etc. People don't get tracked, they get ads relevant to their interests, and pages look cohesive and have an identity.
Indeed, that article is correct. More accurately I should be calling this position mathematical realism (although the lines between the two can get a bit blurry).
No, they can ask that you release records related to that condition. That means the detailed records in many cases.

Reality is in most cases employer just talks to employees or condition is obvious (use of a wheelchair etc). In most cases accommodation measures are routine / trivial (better chair, taller desk, different schedule such as part time work for reduced pay etc etc, ergo keyboard).

Honestly, stuff like this where you hear ADA requiring employers to supposedly let people work from Utah where COL is 1/2 bay area is what gives ADA type stuff a bad name. It's not the common track and obviously open to more abuse particularly if no documentation is provided.
Sure, but children now will have to deal with the internet when they become adults. "Protecting" them from it just means they're less likely to be prepared for it when they do become adults.
The argument against open plan offices is different (and stronger) than the argument against having offices at all.

Private offices with public congregating areas and meeting rooms are strictly better than open offices, in my opinion. Even cube farms are an improvement over the bullpen open plan, if a company can't afford enough real estate to give everyone their own office.

Remote work entails stronger tradeoffs. I've been at it for four years, and would never go back, but it does take a certain sort of personality and working style to make it functional, and the case for offices is strong.

The post you're replying to was perhaps conflating the two questions, but was specific about addressing open plan offices.
I really want to sell Valve on the Nixpkgs cross compilation work we've done someday. If anyone knows anyone there that would be interested in flawless Linux <-> Windows builds with all toolchain combinations, do let me know!

Thanks for playing games on NixOS!
Sounds like they need some Tom Smykowski's ...

Anyway I wonder if GlobalFoundries will be it's own business unit or otherwise get enough independence to do things the right way / differently than in the past? I often find large companies who are 'not good with customers' aren't really great at acquiring competency at being good with customers if they just buy and assimilate it.

Heck I've been a part of companies who had a big customer focus and they acquired smaller companies who weren't good with customers, and somehow the smaller company infected the organization and suddenly they became bad with customers :(

It's not "okay" because such a system proves that various particular Turing machines halt when, in fact, those machines do not halt. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27847719.

But to be a bit more specific, ¬Con(ZFC) says that the Turing machine that searches for a contradiction in ZFC does indeed halt. However (in all likelihood) such a machine does not actually halt, in the sense that it does not halt in 1 step, and it does not halt in 2 steps, and it does not halt in 3 steps, etc., and indeed (in all likelihood) for each numeral n, ZFC even proves that the machine does not halt in n steps.

(Now there is a small possibility that maybe such a machine does halt in some particular number of steps. If it does actually halt, that means it has found a proof that ZFC is inconsistent. But this scenario is even worse, because it means that ZFC itself is not only unsound, but inconsistent, (and hence ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) is also inconsistent). In particular ZFC+¬Con(ZFC) being inconsistent means it proves that every Turing machine halts, which is even more wrong in general, even if it happens to be right about this particular machine.)
I work for a FAANG company (not Apple), and regarding item #1: yes, absolutely. I just moved from CA to UT and the 25% pay cut sucks but it's totally worth the 80% reduction in housing prices.

CO2 pollution would be exponential if it were proportional to energy usage and if energy usage increased linearly with economic development and if economic development were exponential. Fortunately neither of the first two conditions are true.

As far as I remember, the prominent people who were talking about this a year ago did not say "it definitely was a Chinese lab's fault", just that it was seriously suspicious and needed further investigation, and that they were upset that people who were bringing it up were getting prematurely dismissed. Who exactly (other than random conspiracy theorists) was saying it was definitely a Chinese lab?
2: I might also play around with crash and correction frequencies if you’re not already doing so, which, without thinking deeper about credit cycles, should be fine to simulate based on previously occurring frequencies.

It seems like you already have some sort of analog to this with historical performance to begin with, though.
It is a significant position among mathematicans and logicians who study the foundations of mathematics.

It is probably not how most non-foundations mathematicians think of mathematics (especially larger infinities).
Does the Valve Steam Deck get hot during use?
Mine was CS. Build an application that takes in topo data and produces a 3D plot of the output and allows the user to edit the data on the fly.

Remember this was in the late 90s so it was all OpenGL immediate mode and I didn't have a 3D accelerator so it had to run at a reasonable framerate on a 75Mhz CPU. Luckily we didn't have to texture anything, flat shaded polys were fine.

Another project was a web application with a database backend that was basically just IMDB. Of course this was the 90s so it was CGI.

Sadly there was no Git either. CVS was it, but since everybody was on dialup modem and there were not cloud services you could use it didn't work so well. One had to be good at compartmentalizing mostly. One guy would work on one part and someone else would work on a totally different part and integration was always fun.
The problem is people are expecting the asteroid impact, or the single point where "civilization is collapsed."

These aren't helpful and aren't realistic. Even historical societal collapses happen over periods of centuries, often.

It's foolish to simply dismiss threats because people make bad predictions. We can already see increases in rare weather events right now, and these have already had significant geopolitical consequences (e.g. Syria).
I could also see them running a read-only system partition with snapshots for updates. And with btrfs send/receive you could do 'system updates' with just incremental snapshots, and the ability to rollback.

Or just use packages and make regular snapshots.
Intel doesn't have much of a foundry business -- they build for themselves -- so if anything this increases competition in the foundry business, if Intel follows up by letting GloFo customers use Intel's best fabs.
Post-pandemic, almost all FAANGs adopted a full remote work policy. Apple competes with these companies for talent.
Show HN: Peace Of Mind a game about maintaining a peaceful state of mind
There is a way of mapping different ordinal numbers which are less than some large countable ordinal (idr how high up it goes. I suspect it isn’t well defined at least past the church kleene ordinal, but I think it is much before that, but also I could be totally wrong) to different functions from integers to integers which increase at different rates.

These methods include the Hardy hierarchy, and the fast growing hierarchy.

(But regarding all infinities being equal, that’s just incorrect, sorry.)
Love seeing the random k/q code mentions here. All too often I feel as though I'm coding in a black box. This shines a little light letting me know others are out there too. Nice work.
Personally I think the boobs are less harmful than scammers in the crypto and investment space who will with providing elevated expectations lead people to large losses.
People probably misunderstand and think you would have to share actual medical information with Apple. Meanwhile you most probably just have to hand in a rather vague note from your doctor, stating that you have a condition (not further specified) so working from home puts you less at risk.
Why don't you ask an Apple employee instead of HN?
I don't think I caught your point then. What exactly are you arguing?
Twitter doesn't require you to add a phone number, you can sign up with just an email address.

In some cases, if your account gets flagged, they'll ask you to add a phone number to unsuspend it (which makes it a little harder to dodge bans), but I think that's a rare case.
I imagine part of this is an income effect based on the stock price rise. AAPL is about up 500% from where it was five years ago, which means that employees who have been there a while are likely sitting on a decent pile of equity/cash.

If their plan is to work remotely from a low/moderate CoL location, their equity could give them a pretty long runway there.

Of course, the well-performing stock is probably part of the reason that Apple is insistent on asking employees to return, because they believe that they'll be able to hire new employees (who will be attracted by equity, among other things) to replace people who leave.
I never said anything like that. You jumped to a conclusion. He lost the battle a long time ago. Wikipedia is huge and hard to steer. I put "left wing" in quotes because that seems to be his sentiment. Unfortunately for conservatives, internet savvy people like those who edit Wikipedia seem to be overwhelmingly liberal. I'd be ok if Wikipedia was more balanced, but that's just not the way it is. Like Marlo Stanfield said in The Wire; "You want it one way, but it's another."
"studies" are not the same as science.

That being said, I'm a doomer but because AI.

You're in luck, then. The Steam Deck has thumb trackpads for mouse-like aiming. This is their 3rd kick at thumb trackpads (they're on the Steam Controller and the Index Controller) so they're established pretty well at it.

It's not the same as a mouse but it beats the pants off of thumbstick aiming.
If you don't want to release records they can ask your doctor directly to respond to a set of questions about your condition generally. Practically doctors can write a note and if is sufficiently detailed it's normally accepted.

But the idea that oh, I've got something so ADA let's me work from home is really not true - there is usually much much more back and forth in these things.
