That is a symptom of the problem of excess supply of labor in relation to demand. The solution would require adjusting the supply of labor and/or demand for that type of labor.
This is one of the more intriguing rumors. I'm not even remotely qualified to say if it's feasible or not. But, if it was, I'm curious about pricing. Would users need to contract with one of the existing satellite providers? Or would carriers start offering "Satellite Add-on" for $10/$20/$30 a month for X number of texts?

And would there be free SOS emergency service? Seems like that would be a huge selling point to get people to upgrade. People who wouldn't otherwise want or need satellite communication.

The middle class has also shrunk, right?

Those advances are adjustments in quality of living driven by efficiencies in manufacturing, etc. This would be more on the resource scarcity side and less on the rich/income side. I would exclude food as an indicator since that is heavily subsidized. Healthcare has also increased substantially as a percentage of income.

> That information is trivial to extract, there is no reason to force the developer to maintain it and keep it in sync.

That's true, in theory. In reality though, when is that information extracted? What do you use to extract it? Where is it saved once extracted? How easy is it to review it? Do you need to use an IDE to do that?

Any less than satisfactory answer to these questions will make this worse in practice than having the developer maintain it.

Does it even have to be teleporting to break causality, to be honest? Given a long enough journey, wouldn't the Alcoubiere (sp?) drive accomplish the same thing? By making a warp bubble and folding space using gravitational forces, none of the laws of physics are broken and the user can still move faster than the speed of light (though it isn't possible due to the lack of anti gravity, which might not exist - so there's that).

I am 35 and still spend like in a teenager. I grew up really poor where if the money didn’t get spent right away it would just sort of disappear, into drugs or beer or whatever my mom and stepdad were spending it on. My only real asset is my house which has appreciate significantly in value, but all it would take is one job loss to get me behind on that. I take Adderall because it makes me an effective engineer and I’ve really struggled for multi year periods where I’ve tried to stop it, but my life gets measurably worse. I cashed out my $5,000 at one point and blew it on I don’t even know what, but it was something stupid I’m sure.

I guess the real enemy is future me. I don’t feel like I can consistently trust myself to make good financial decisions so the me of right now acts as if future me will just blow all my savings irresponsibly anyway. It’s depressing just writing it out.

I wish I could put money into an account that would then only disburse small amounts of it over the year, and I couldn’t override that.

I’m really ashamed of it but end up paying the mortgage with one biweekly paycheck, paying all my bills with the next biweekly paycheck, and despite making a very good salary for where I live, I’m living paycheck to paycheck.

I don’t really know how to develop impulse control, I spend hours and hours scrolling Amazon and websites trying to think of things to buy.

I know the answer is “just act like an adult” but I guess spending has become a coping mechanism because I’ve got a disabled kid, I don’t really know how to enjoy things that aren’t going to Costco or buying a new 3D printer or a shiny new computer.

Is there anyone here who has gone from being extremely irresponsible with money to having savings? How do I get over the trauma of my grandparents losing millions of dollars in the 2008 financial collapse, which happened right as I came of age? How do I stop “shopscrolling” Amazon until 2 in the morning?

I know it’s pathetic, and I feel like this is a place I might get an answer that’s actionable.

She will likely use a much more meek voice if this is her defense... the whole lowering of her voice was a calculated tactic to appear more "respectable" and such...
Some people don't need to overcommmit to be great. I, for instance, could go through a similar golf itinerary as Jack and would only be an average golfer, as I am not a gifted golfer.
I could perhaps dedicate every waking second to golf and perhaps become pro, but still probably not. Jack had a once in a generation talent to go along with his commitment to work life balance.
I'd just like to point out the irony of the bolded, all caps statement in this article, "You’ll NEVER get rich by working for someone else", the recent HN frontpage article about how Tim Cook got a $750 million payout working for Apple, and that the title of this post is "All Personal Finance Experts Are Liars".
So much becomes easier to see when you see infinity not as a thing but as an algorithm.
Comparable services charge about $10-20 for a plan with a handful of messages and 50 cent per message in excess of that, and $50 or so for a monthly flat rate.

SOS is only possible with a monthly plan, but I‘d guess that Apple might make that one free (it wouldn‘t make for good press to hear of the inevitable lost hiker holding a fully charged iPhone but no emergency calling plan).
TL;DR - all the reasons that make computers efficient makes efficient corruption more possible.

> A point has no volume so no matter how many you add together you don't get something with a volume.

You're on the right track.

The Banach-Tarski paradox requires accepting that non-measurable sets[1] exist. A non-measurable set is a set with a an inspecifiable volume. Note: That's non-measurable - not 0. It means you have a quantity of something, whose volume is not 0, but it's also not any other number.

Once I realized that the paradox requires it, all the WTF aspect went away. Of course - if you can accept quantities for which you cannot specify a volume, you can probably accept about anything.

I think there's a distinction between out of control spending and someone with decent expenses. There definitely is no shortage of those with all the streaming services and a new iPhone every year, and less than $1000 in the bank, but I think that's not the portrait the article was trying to paint.

Additionally, the article does point out that you may need to reevaluate your career and/or create a side hustle.

There's no easy way to have more money. If there was, everyone would do it and the value of the money would be inflated away.
Laws in the physics sense don't govern, though, they describe. It's akin to saying moral laws don't decide what's immoral, they simply describe it.

Given that, "laws of physics" are certainly describable. We simply write the formulae that tell us what the next state of the dynamical system is. They are ways of delimiting what is physically possible, given the current state of the art.

I’ve been using ente for a while now. The user experience has potential for improvement but overall I’ve found it worth the tradeoff. The client app itself is super clean and it feels great to not be thinking about giving more of my money and data to google or amazon or fb. Take my money!
I reiterate the sibling comment about mouse control, either use the actual mouse locking APIs of browsers, or make drag feel like drag.

Additionally, I think it would be best if by default you were stuck to standing head height, then you can either provide buttons to actually move up or down, or lean more into the game aspect and allow the user to jump. Right now it feels like you are floating around with a little drone or something.

In the vein of controls, please please please support WASD too. I understand if you instruct with arrow keys, since for non-gamer users it might be more obvious, but support WASD (or equivalent of what WASD is in QWERTY keyboards) anyways, for 2 reasons: it is much more ergonomic for people who use a mouse on their right hand (I myself am left-handed but use the right hand for mouse anyways), and is more ergonomic for some laptop users, since many laptops have half-size vertical arrow keys which are uncomfortable to press all but momentarily.

Ouch! This is costly. I'm still shopping for a Backup or a parallel solution to Apple Photos.

At $14.99 /mo for a 1TB storage or even the discounted Indian pricing of ₹999 /mo; I would put it at a high price point for a Photo Service/Tool.

Just a thought. I'd priced it similar to Google Photos but sell the encrypted/privacy part as a prominent feature.

"no matter how many you add together", is where this argument breaks down in ZFC. The sphere is indeed the union of all of the singletons consisting of its points, all of which are measure zero. Banach-Tarski is mainly considered "weird" because it describes a partition into so few pieces, and they are rearranged via rigid motions only. It is trivial to come up with bijections between compact finite dimensional manifolds, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve). For another example of the axiom of choice wreaking havoc on the notion of measure, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitali_set .
> The language that i see in this article and elsewhere however is suggesting that we actually duplicated the sphere (doubled the volume).

> This seems incorrect.

It isn't incorrect. You're right that the number of points in the sphere does not equate to the volume of the sphere. But the Banach-Tarski theorem does in fact let you double the volume. It is considered to be of interest because it does the following:

1. You have a ball.

2. You cut the ball into 5 pieces in a very clever way.

3. You move the pieces around.

4. Now you have two balls, each the same size as the first.

The key, interesting part of this is in step 3, where we only use translations and rotations. Those preserve volume. (By contrast, it's easy to scale a ball of radius 2 to become a ball of radius 3, but that's not a volume-preserving transformation.) The part of the process that doesn't preserve volume is actually step 2, where we cut the ball into pieces. People find it unintuitive that this step doesn't preserve volume.

You can also cut your ball into several pieces and move the pieces around such that you end up with a much larger ball.
It has recently been reformed and is now better. :)
> but the article quite clearly stated that Black is not making unwarranted claims about the accuracy

I agree the she or the article are not making any claims. And she eventually got the study done.

But by appearing in court as expert witness and presenting her analysis, she implicitly claimed that it's accurate enough to be taken as criminal evidence, and that was before doing the science.

That's the dangerous part.
Its not bs but its incomplete. Putting money in index funds has proven to be a good way to grow wealth. Look at some of thefatfire and related threads on reddit.. a lot of ppl have amassed alot of wealth with indexing.
I stand corrected. Still I think if Apple approached Microsoft with we want windows on this thing that Microsoft would jump at the chance.
Wow it's safely been a decade and a half since I've even thought about these episodes! Thanks for bringing it's memory back to life.

On a slightly different note, these episodes (essentially, plays) didn't capture some of the spirit that the book shares. The book is more sombre in my opinion, it informs the reader of the things that happened (albeit in a Hardcode history - like manner, very fantastical and poetic), and it doesn't offer any pre or post-amble. A drive-by epic, if you'd like.
There is little reason or evidence to suggest it has changed.
Synology Photos is one such solution already for example.
Maybe it uses an external antenna that is plugged in the headphone jack...
I agree with the thrust of the article. Most personal finance experts are...a bit weird (I have no idea why Tony Robins is an expert...he knows literally nothing, isn't he a motivational speaker...only in America could this be a job).

But there is a reason why spend less is the best advice for most people: they can't start a business, they have limited scope to increase their earnings significantly, and you can actually become relatively rich if you just spend less.

Personal financial advice really isn't about attempting to become rich, it is about stopping people doing things that make no sense. We aren't talking about becoming Jeff Bezos...that isn't the goal for most people, the aim is to help people retire with dignity. Telling everyone to start their own business is terribly unhelpful because it won't improve anything as most people will fail (this is why personal finance experts exist...because most people think in these unreasonable ways i.e. the only way I can become rich is by taking huge risks...rather than just not buying stupid shit I don't need, ppl reason in very weird ways).

To say this another way, most people do not understand the long-term value of a $1 saved today. Obviously, exactly how you calculate this is a little complicated but if people realised that $1 now was worth $4 or $6 or $8 in 30 years then they would consider what they do today more carefully (and even then, some people are just weird...they will say: I am going to die before then, or I don't care...then they will get to retirement and everything is fucked).

Btw, I used to work in this industry, I have seen people who didn't consider any of this. We had a client who worked all his life in a decent paying job but had little savings, took to drink, wife divorced him, lost his job in his late 60s, got drunk one day, fell down the stairs when he was on his own in his rented house (he lost his house a few months before), died. This all happened within a few months. It will happen. You will get old. You can't control everything in life but something that is relatively easy to control is your spending. I try not to give people specific advice but the number one thing that everyone can do is: control your spending, think about what you need, you can't avoid some expenses but the peace of mind later down the road from small changes is huge.

This kind of thing is unfashionable as hell though because it does put that pressure back onto the individual. Lots of young people today have this attitude of: everything is rigged, telling me to change anything when X person is so wealthy makes you an oppressor, etc. Unsurprisingly, this attitude tends to be linked with taking decisions that are unwise, and abrogating all responsibility for the consequences.
One fun example is the "malloc Geiger counter", which clicks whenever memory is allocated:

I think the comment you are responding to means that past costs are always sunk.
Not having written Ada, but having seen many HN naysayers saying "Why do we need Rust when Ada can do this" and having tried to come up with a well-researched rebuttal, my sense is that there are three options:

1. Your project is static enough that it doesn't need dynamic memory allocation. The control system for a modern passenger jet is a pretty complex project, but you can allocate an object per engine, an object per flap, a struct per landing gear, an object per pilot display, etc. at design time. Even the navigational computers on these aircraft, which take in unbounded structured data about airports and navigational points, often have hard-coded limits. Quoting https://www.mitre.org/sites/default/files/pdf/12_1324.pdf :

> one widely used FMC [flight management computer] model ... has issues at airports with over 100 arrival and departure procedures. Some airport examples where 100 arrival and departure procedures are exceeded include Cairo, Amsterdam, Madrid, Paris (Le Bourget, Orly and Charles de Gaulle), Mumbai, New Delhi and Beijing. A FMC service bulletin issued states that the aircraft may lose FMC applications in flight with over 100 procedures and flight plan up-linking. Further, another manufacturer has a FMC model with a limit of 99 total procedures and a limit of 8 waypoints per procedure. A third FMC manufacturer has a model with a limit on the amount of arrivals, departure and approaches as shown below: Early models – limit of 70 departures, 70 arrivals, and 29 approaches at an airport. Later models – limit of 130 departures, 130 arrivals, and 39 approaches at an airport.

Counterintutitively, this is culturally acceptable for such "high assurance" applications, but WhatsApp gets confusion from the press when it increases the maximum number of participants in a group chat to the "oddly specific number" of 256 (https://i.redd.it/gk7dicv6hsvy.jpg).

2. You use a third-party GC/refcounting library that calls Unchecked_Deallocation internally.

3. There's a 2018 proposal (linked in another reply) for "ownership types", which specifically references Rust's lifetime model as an inspiration.

Or, in other words, if your goal is to write a (say) safe implementation of the DOM that can render real-world web pages while efficiently using memory on a general-purpose computer, Ada is probably the wrong tool for the job. Which is fine! It's a great tool for other jobs.
Oh that is pretty cool. I wonder if it could be proved with differential geometry for the sphere, which has a simple paramertization
Cutting out sugar and carbohydrates is key. Recommending lowering salt intake is a low priority when the root cause is usually insulin resistance/obesity.
One of the problems is that "rich" is relative. I was talking to a guy at an alumni event who said that managing partners are prone to fraud as they feel poor compared to their similarly ranked CEO friends.
>Also curious on your hot take of this—the unusually effective suicide bombings (y’know the ones that killed our servicemen and about a hundred innocent civilians?) were very likely composed of the very same high explosives that we left behind.

I found the "y'know..." bit a little flip, given the tragic circumstances.

In any case, my "hot take" on that narrow point is that it's another unfounded assertion that reads like more FUD.

On the broader point, there are many people politicizing this and working overtime to assign as much blame as possible to the current administration, including what you appear to be doing here.

And, my hot take on that broader point is that it's divisive and uses the tragic deaths of our fallen military and the grief of their families as political props.

The unbridled glee in their political attacks is palpable, even as our country and military are experiencing a significant setback that includes the loss of life. It's disgusting and, whatever they think they're rooting for, it's not America.
