More and more Australians are putting environmental issues ahead of economic, and are aware that this will make things less comfortable in the short term. Making personal sacrifices for the greater good is generally considered a positive trait in civil society. Many are hopeful that things will be better in the long term, and are hopeful an alternative source of income can be found before the inevitable collapse happens.
“unsolved”? Really?
A good friend of mine who didn't go to college got his A+ cert instead and has had pretty good luck getting IT jobs with just his certifications. He put in a couple years at his first gig and is now interviewing for better paying positions. He seems to be having great luck and is constantly getting hit up by different companies.
If I'm reading this right, Apple would be forced to make private APIs public. That could be interesting and also a nightmare, especially if some developers use some private apis in dark patterns (eg take the 2/4/6 minute reminders iMessage gives you, now make that every minute or so). They also beta test APIs in a version and then the following version release a public type of it.

I'm not a fan of services utilizing alternative payment methods for subscriptions as using the App Store Subscriptions page is the easiest I've ever used. Now if you were forced to use the apple subscriptions page API but your own payment provider, that could make more sense.

I'm curious if this applies to Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo though.
Thomas Stanley and Sarah Fallaw (Stanley's daughter) published an updated book in 2016 called The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth. They argue the conclusions from the Millionaire Next Door still hold and directly address Taleb's survivorship bias claim.

Remember that Thomas Stanley had a PhD in finance and didn't do garbage research.

There is a leanfire subreddit if you're looking for real world stories of people that are currently living the high savings lifestyle: https://www.reddit.com/r/leanfire/

Here's a great video of a young, modern leanfire couple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb3Z5cGOksY&ab_channel=CNBCM...

Millionaire Next Door might not be possible for minimum wage workers in HCOL areas anymore, but seems to me like lots of folks are still figuring out how to make it happen and become financially free at a young age.
Im not sure what you expect to see with FIRE? Ill just keep investing through the down-cycle. Dollar cost averaging baby!

Yes! One trades money for time. FIRE is the exact opposite - with FIRE one would pay for money with time.
What a relief that we live in the computer age and you can convert units essentially instantly
How is that? Seems like it could be a good alt DNS provider with Pihole as a primary, and NextDNS as a secondary
Another interesting point in the spectrum could be, what about a program that marks up the screen or minimap with detailed heatmaps of likely player positions based on historical data?

If that's not obviously cheating, make it time dependent, make it player dependent, etc.

If that is obviously cheating, what about producing those maps and not providing an in-game overlay?
It boils down to the lack of a reputation system. There is little incentive for drivers to behave in a good way, because anything bad he does won't directly impact him, beyond maybe make people avoid taxis altogether (which seems unlikely, as taxis are usually a last resort when you have no other realistic options). And it doesn't take many bad apples to spoil the bunch.

One of Uber's main contributions is changing this dynamic.
Two points here:

- It's interesting how his academic background in criminology is in an area tangentially related to his own alleged social deviance -- maybe a "call of the void" type deal, in the sense that (anecdotally) some people who have a lifetime academic fixation on particular subject matter eventually reveal that it is somehow linked to their own deviant obsessions with it.

- It's also interesting how many law enforcement agencies there are embedded in the federal government, and how they basically have the same powers as one another. I recall surprise upon learning for the first time that the USPS has its own law enforcement agency back when Steve Bannon was arrested by postal inspectors last year, and am newly surprised to learn that the USFS has an equally well-equipped (in terms of warrant powers) police force.
It's not a problem right now with 1Password 7, because family members are (as far as I know) able to use local vaults too.
They bought out a couple companies who made major leaps, 6D.ai for example.
The APIs won’t change with alternative app stores. Asking permission for using gps or camera or … can still be enforced. Just like on macOS.
App store fees and Apple Pay are different things. What people are concerned about are increased fees and side-loading apps, and we can have a separate policy discussion on capping fees and having separate stores.

What Apple Pay does is protect consumers from having to hand out their credit card information to random companies with less-than-Apple's reputation for handling consumer financial data. This is true both on and off the app store.

No other payment vendor is going as far as Apple to protect your financial data, and you most certainly will never have the negotiating position to make Target budge on how they do things.
There is way too much common sense in this bill which guarantees it will go nowhere.
>your network of friends and colleagues makes you download

When you're a child typically you learn to use the word "No." If that's not enough then whatever crap they want you to install is probably non-free software (otherwise it would already be on sane app stores) so you can use that if you need an excuse.

Not really SV is built on defense funding from the 40's onwards - widespread h1b is much later
> At the very least the first step is the same, and equally unlikely to happen.

Well there's different kinds of "acting on". "Don't have consensual sex with another gay person" is a hard sell. "Don't rape anyone" gets pretty good support from everyone. Rape is a lot more about power than it is about attraction, and it's not that easy to figure out who would go there.
I think a marketplace for human coaches would be useful. I just hired one, and it definitely is not efficient, to say the least. I've had coaching for two different games.

The problem with the AI-related stuff it that it is very tactical and statistical. The strategy in many games is usually way more impactful.

All the statistics you mention are commodity for League. 5 different tools provide that info. The more impactful questions to answer would be whether to stay in lane or help a teammate, freeze the wave or push.
And when they're not honest, because of course they're not going to be, and never have been in the history of history. Then what?
> Cool, what precisely is one degree K? What does it really mean?

Well that's my point :). There are no degrees in K, there are just K. So at least we could remove that little bit of ambiguity.

Otherwise...

> about as arbitrary as basing it on human comfort levels

I agree. All scales are arbitrary.

I actually think F has one upside over both K and C -- more resolution means fractional degrees are rarely used. But that's just a nitpick.

Facebook has grown into a lot of the things. It probably deserves to be grouped with the others. I honestly thing FAANG became the acronym because these companies were making big waves simultaneously at one point, and the acronym is attractive.

There’s never been any good reason not to include Microsoft except that for a long time it was considered old and stodgy.

Netflix doesn’t make sense in terms of market cap, and it also doesn’t make sense in 2021 when it’s more a media company than a technology company. Don’t get me wrong, they totally nailed it on a ton of tech fronts, and deserve their technical accolades…it just looks strange next to the others.

Oh, thinking about Netflix, I just figured it out. It’s about SWE salaries, and not really related to much else.

…although if that’s it, then Amazon doesn’t really deserve it’s spot any more than Microsoft.
I also use and love pass on desktop, even with syncthing and browserpass, all perfectly working. But I am using yubikey to hold my key and that makes it not a good match for mobile setup. Also last time I tried, the mobile apps mentioned were not so easy to use, so I gave up on that front.
I’m in forties and haven’t gamed since about 2000. Except I once played 2 early assassin’s creed about 8 years ago. Just got an Xbox series X. It’s weird playing all the multiplayer online games. Rocket League is fun but, wow it’s difficult to master. It seems to take a lifetime of hours invested to play at highest levels. All that to say, I actually see the value of coaching in the video game realm now where I completely did not “get it” just a few months ago and this sounds promising.
There's an argument to be made the other way around:

Maybe if you choose to use multiple platforms you should just deal with the multiple approaches to UI? Why should the single platform citizens suffer from a UI that's inconsistent with the rest of the platform?

To stretch it to an absurd case:

Imagine Slack decided that the shortcut to copy text will be Ctrl+C on all platforms. And Windows users who occasionaly use a mac would rejoice because it would save them from having to think which button to press.
Aside: it’s so nice seeing a pyproject.toml these days.

Another function of these probes could be crypto time capsules.

For instance, years ago Google implemented an internal policy of deleting all company email after something like 90 days. This included all the ancient ones, which would have been invaluable to historians one day. A sad destruction of a trove of history.

With a space probe flying out of the solar system, they could've encrypted all the old mail with a public key whose pair was on the probe, and then 100 years from now, the probe could be programmed to transmit the private key back to earth.
Due to forcing me into the Subscription model, I migrated to Bitwarden recently and never looked back. It’s been working flawlessly for several months now.
But you do trust mining groups not to get to 51% capacity, which has happened before. You do trust that ECDSA/secp256k1 and double SHA-256 don't have unknown shortcuts, even though that hasn't been proven.¹ You do trust the Bitcoin Core developers, and the developers of your wallet program, not to add a backdoor, and you do trust your own ability to keep your private keys confidential. In minimising trust, you're also centralising a single chain of it; the real world is resilient against misplaced trust (so long as many entities aren't secretly untrustworthy at once, which we call a conspiracy), but Bitcoin isn't. It's a small number of single points of failure.

I'm glad you said “reduced trust”, rather than “trustless”, because otherwise this would've been a several-page rant.

¹: It's unlikely either of them will have significant shortcuts discovered any time soon, but that's not the point.
Wondering why the EU is lagging behind on this one.
Has to do with blue chip tech stocks apparently
> Even Monero?

There are literally hundreds of cryptocurrencies. The term does not imply anonymity nor privacy, just the concept of a somewhat decentralized ledger that relies on cryptography to ensure the authenticity and integrity of transactions. In those hundreds, certainly there are different goals with different currencies. The question remains though - are those who focus on privacy and anonimity field-tested? Are there cases of demonstrable attacks on the anonymity characteristics of a given implementation that can attest for their robustness? AFAIK no, but feel free to add any independent analysis or incident I may have missed.

> How does it matter if it's open-source?

OpenSSL is also open-source and every year there is a new vector of bad news. Being open source in some projects - specially crypto projects - means that motivated attackers can identify potential vulnerabilities quite easier, instead of "more people will look at it, ergo it will have fewer bugs". There is a huge potential for planned defects to go unnoticed on a complex cryptography product.
Yeah we’re hearing that more and more lately! Definitely think there is something there
Yes, I've read the book and see this article as slanted just as you say.

When I saw the author's name at the end I was like "oh, that explains it" -- I used to live in LA and I'd wonder why this LA Times business columnist seems to hate business so much.

It's his prerogative to take whatever position he wants to take. He's a physician and an elected member of the United States Senate. I for one want to hear his expertise, even if it disagrees with the conclusions you've already made.

They are launched with identity-keys which are, under proper processes, unique & secret. These are potentially rotated to new keys created off-world, early, so that even if unauthorized on-world keys remain, the window that those could be misused is small & early.

Multiple probes contribute to the consensus validation of a single cryptocurrency.

As satellites fail or move out of the practical distance in light-minutes, new ones take their place. (Or maybe, they're just put into long-orbits that keep them out of practical compromise range? CometCoin?)
> A person in their mid forties is not looking back on the prior 20 years of adulthood as their "entire life", I can assure you. Nor are they regretting the dollars they've saved so far.

How many people in their mid-40's have you talked to? I know a lot who regret wasting their 20's and 30's grinding at academia and work. They feel like they fucked up and lost very many valuable years of their life to the grind.

For some - the grind didn't even pay off. They are still working and have a much lower NW than they expected.
I can strongly second this. I currently work on a serverless project and running/debugging code locally is one of the biggest pain points. Over time I've gotten better at mocking out a bunch of stuff to try and get the code I care about running, but it's a really rough process.

There are of course risks that the local setup process will differ from the prod environment in a serious way. Even with good automated test coverage I feel less confident about the code I commit here than most other places I've worked.
> But in general if you create regulation for companies to produce less trash, explore all natural resources responsibly. Invest all public money and outsource contracts to the most environmentally friendly companies...

hmm yea, that make sense, but i guess lobbying makes that difficult...

my pipe dream is, companies to be taxed base on all the pollution they generate in general (everything from how much excess plastic, cardboard they use in boxing/packaging to the sources of electricity they use (renewable or coal etc) to how much chemical waste they may make... no pollution, no tax!

(yes i know its unfeasible, but its a nice pipe dream)
I don’t really know, but I’m under the impression that Amazon comp is pretty comparable to Microsoft these days.
The title and content of the article, in which Hanke espouses the virtues if Niantic Labs (an AR company), were cognitively dissonant for me.

> The concept reached one of its most complete expressions in Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, where virtually everyone has abandoned reality for an elaborate VR massively multiplayer video game. A lot of people these days seem very interested in bringing this near-future vision of a virtual world to life, including some of the biggest names in technology and gaming. But in fact these novels served as warnings about a dystopian future of technology gone wrong. As a society, we can hope that the world doesn’t devolve into the kind of place that drives sci-fi heroes to escape into a virtual one

I'm trying to understand what Hanke is really saying. Is he saying that VR sucks, and AR, specifically AR that encourages people to interact with the real physical world, is where its at? I assume by "biggest names in technology and gaming" he is referring to Niantic's competitors? Specifically what about those bets does he disagree with?
The affidavit is pretty thorough, even before pulling his cell phone info.

"A Forest Service fire investigator determined the Cascade Fire was likely the result of arson. He also noticed that on a dirt road 150 to 200 yards from the fire, a man was struggling to free his car, a black Kia Soul, after the vehicle's rear had failed to clear a partially buried boulder."

If you're going to be a wildlands arsonist, best to find the proper vehicle.
Anecdote, but, my workstation is Linux, my work laptop is macOS, my personal computer is Windows where I run Linux VMs. I run 1Password across all these operating systems. Having a consistent interface is nice and it means I don't have to relearn the UI three times.

Gotcha, thanks. On Windows, Hello works, so I would hope that touchID/applewatch would as well. TIL about drag and drop. Neat!
Depending on how you define AR, they've added a number of features to Pokémon GO over the years (ability to place Pokémon into the world and view them with your phone's camera, real-time in-game weather based on your location, and realistic sky graphics with everything from sunsets to accurate star constellations).

But the common complaint I hear from players is that they don't really care about those developments since the AR additions haven't really altered the basic game play loop.
Lincoln was not even on the ballet In several states. That lead to a civil war.s

We are reaching/past the point where open speech is no longer allowed. That makes next steps scary.
If that was a designed-in capability, sure. But these would be non-updatable.
No question - but it's usually cheaper in part because the costs (to consumer) are hidden.

Impossible to cancel subscription

Renewal terms hidden.

Trial terms hidden.

No prompt to cancel on app delete

Hard to get refunds if app doesn't work.

And list goes on.

So yes - they will be cheaper, but you will ALSO have a lot more unhappy users. So if you can think longer term - the short term gain all these devs will make milking users trust is a long term loss to platform trust (where apple wins).

Apple is a brand company. A top global brand. Part of that is a fair bit of control over the on apple experience.

Just look at the folks fighting apple on this - a lot fo them have been sued (repeatedly) for scam billing practices.
It sounds like a cool super power but it sounds like an absolute curse as well. For one, there are people that are relatively unaffected by your RDF, and those people will always see you as a fraud (which you are, if you're doubling down on falsehoods). For two, if you can convince yourself and those around you of anything/everything, it diminishes your innate ability to know what is right. After all, if you can convince yourself of anything, "right" is whatever is convenient at the time. Sounds kind of miserable.
so getting to know how to do things by yourself is a waste of time?
Tips for kicking off a new product
So, we have a group of people who lack sufficient skills for their job, and we have another group who _feel like_ they lack sufficient skills for their job. The author is claiming that these groups have no overlap whatsoever. There's absolutely no way that could be true. Considering how many people are bad at what they do, and how many people feel like they aren't good enough, surely there's at least one person in the world who is poor at their job and realizes it. The author supports their outlandishly broad generalization with nothing more than anecdotes. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not anecdotes.
Notion's also electron :) Probably a lot better developed though
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I do not think with disagree very much on this topic, other than our subjective impressions of the game - liking and/or disliking. I do think that we may be talking on slightly different levels of abstraction. Which is tough for me to get right with short online comments.
Thanks for engaging on this, though. I enjoyed reading your thoughts very much.
I would argue that in general, having a lower barrier of entry to software engineering is a good thing, especially for attracting people that might not have otherwise considered it.

Someone wants to build a 5 minute app for themselves and Electron happens to be the easiest way to do it? Go for it, there's nothing stopping them. If that app happens to be useful enough for others to use it, even better, that person just solved what could have potentially been a big deal for that user.

If the people using the app are content with the features/quality and the resources it uses, why does it matter so much, especially to a third party like armchair engineers on HN, if it was built natively, on Electron, or CrappierFrameworkThatWillEventuallyReplaceElectron?

If the app isn't usable by you (and this is a general you, not specifically directed at you), then the answer is simple: don't use it. Nobody is forcing you to use Electron or any app built with it if you don't want to.

If as a user your needs are not met, whether that's due to sluggishness from Electron, incompatibility from having a native-only solution, whathaveyou, then all you really have to do is wait. A competitor will come and take its place eventually; that's what the market is there for.

So far, it seems like VS Code is more than meeting its users' needs, but like I said above, other alternatives exist and will continue to exist, and they're all great if VS Code doesn't work for your particular use.
