> Median household income in the US is $80k/yr.

No, its not, its about $65K. Though Google’s Knowledge Graph pulls a snippet about the structurally higher median family income if you search for median household income.
I think the key takeaway is to never believe when someone says "Don't worry, you'll get promoted in no time".
I really want to like Meson, but with the lack of user-defined functions [0, 1] (even restricted) it seems difficult to use for larger projects.

How do people handle repetitive patterns in practice? By extending Meson itself?

You would be able to borrow against ~10% of your vested shares. So if your vested shares are worth $10mm, you could borrow up to $1mm.

Downside Case A: Your vested equity is worth $10mm and you borrow $1mm, but your total vested equity ends up being worth $500k in a fire sale, you would owe $500k.

Downside Case B: Your vested equity is worth $10mm and you borrow $1mm. Your total vested equity ends up being worth $1mm in a fire sale, you would owe $1mm.

In any downside case, you would owe no more than what you receive from a liquidity event. There is no scenario where you only make $100k but owe $1mm, for example. There would be no call back clauses, the loan would only be due upon a liquidity event.

Upside Case A: Your vested equity is worth $10mm and you borrow $1mm. Your total vested equity ends up being worth $100mm in an IPO, you would owe $1mm + interest ($250k?) + $900k shared upside.

Definitely less upside than an equity investment, but there are large institutional investors that want access to the venture capital asset class but can't get access to hot deals. I work in VC and have seen this first hand. This would be a vehicle to give them some exposure to hot companies. Moreover, it could expand into employee equity as well, which increases capacity for capital allocation.

I modeled the probable distribution, and in the midpoint scenario, a portfolio of 100 Seed-Series C startups would likely return 10-15% net IRR. That's good enough to attract institutional capital.
Everyone, throughout their career, is going to see people excel that they feel are undeserving. The whole point of this article is that subconsciously, we all imagine so-and-so and think, "Yes! Yes! That's why they did well! They were just a narcissist. And me, not being a narcissist, I could never have adopted those strategies, I couldn't have lived with myself. I'd rather have my character than a career."

What does it change? Does it make you feel better?

The prevailing thought around SV, or at least around the blogs of people in YC, is to make lossy generalizations about the types of people who should be accepted into an organization. They'll say, "Don't work with assholes". To be fair, I think that's pretty good advice for picking founders and early employees of a company. At the same time, I'm convinced that George Patton was an asshole and a bit of a narcissist, and was simultaneously a great asset in WWII for the US, and to accept both of these as true requires more room for nuance. The organizational structure of the military is not fundamentally different than any organizational structure.

This article tries to paint our inability to weed out strong personalities as a bug in human relationships, instead of a feature. I think that's just plain wrong. Humans have had a lot of time to develop instincts when it comes to interpersonal relationships, and we would have a better sense of sniffing them out if it truly was as bad as it seems. It's definitely not fun to not be a narcissist and see one excel, but that doesn't mean that narcissists are toxic and detrimental to every organization they find themselves in. Sometimes, when the stakes are high, you need a George Patton to win a war. I think the corollary of this is that when business is good and the stakes are relatively low, you really don't need or want narcissists. The problem is that it's hard for an entire organization to know what camp they fall into.

> Have you got a recommendation?

Well, if you're going to go to the trouble of building and running your own VMs or docker images then the obvious recommendation is to run your own recursive resolver (Unbound or Knot Resolver).

The added bonus is that CDN content will operate as expected for your IP range instead of you talking to the CDN server nearest to whatever datacentre you spoke to the third-party DNS BGP anycast on. This may or may not be a big deal depending on your geographic location and internet connection. I am aware some third-party DNS services have options to try to fix the CDN problem, but YMMV as to whether this works in practice.

Otherwise, if I was forced to name a third-party, I would likely name Quad9. Especially after their recent relocation to Swiss jurisdiction[1]. IIRC (its been a while since I read it) their privacy policy is also better than Cloudflare's too (e.g. no weird, "we'll retain some stuff for 25 hours" IIRC).

When I see "senior" in front of any job title, I generally ignore it as essentially meaningless (and I've been a "senior" for about 20 years now). Unless a job title and description comes with actual managerial responsibilities (so director, VP, etc.), it doesn't seem to correlate in any way with pay, respect, job security or any real say in priorities.
I suspect birthrate’s biggest factor is women’s financial independence and access to cheap and convenient birth control such as IUDs and birth control pills.

Birthrates are plummeting even for low income households, and I would bet it has something to do with Affordable Care Act of 2010 greatly increasing access to birth control by making it free. From the women I have spoken to, it is almost a no brainer to get an IUD.

Their transpiler would probably be up to date if they open-sourced it, since plenty of other people would be using it. Instead people are stuck using CoreCLR's AOT backend or other closed transpilers like BRUTE.

Their transpiler also had a lot in common with ones for other targets (I know for a fact that in the past it used to be very similar structurally to JSIL) which probably improves the likelihood that they would have been able to leverage community knowledge and contributions here.

It's understandable though that they want their transpiler and C#->shader compiler to be their secret sauce, though, since they see them as unique advantages over Godot, Unreal, etc.
The price is pretty good for the data alone, especially if you can export it.

Pro:
Someone can export data and mix in their own algo or do their own technical analysis

Con:
Are you allowed to resell/give away the data in this manner? May not matter since so many others have similar data but just curious.

Finally:
I see the platform has a lot of technicals, but the fundamental sources are: analyst estimates and sentiment feeds?
Still very good for the price, but it would be very interesting to see some source of analyst reports just to get a sense of the company.
The key part of your statement is "and it's easy to get one." Voter ID requirements in some US states is usually accompanied by a very restrictive list of acceptable forms of ID, and the requirements for getting such IDs are often tightened. Making it easy to get an ID is not the goal of such legislation.
> the Linux in M1 projects are probably targeted at Mac Minis

I'm not sure that's true. What the M1 gives you is an incredibly powerful processor that's also very power efficient. That gives you a spectacularly performing laptop with good battery life, making the M1 laptops compelling even if you want to run Linux.

If you're plugged into the wall the M1s are still quick, but there are other options to get you into the same ballpark. There are no other options that use as little power.

Today I logged-into Trello and saw this yellow banner:

"On September 7, 2021, we'll create a Workspace for your 23 boards and include 60 days of Premium for free"

IMHO, this is simply not informative enough.

Instead I would have expected something more bespoke and say something like:

"Hi NAME, based on your current boards/members/account, your our new subscription would include your current setup..there will be nothing for you to do. enjoy!"

or

"Hi NAME, based on your current boards/members/account, your our new subscription will now come out to $XX/per year".

yikes.
Yes, but that wasn't what was explained.

"Money also has diminishing marginal utility, so as you accumulate more of it, at some point it has less use."

The additional money does not have less use. It's just not going to add as much to quality of life or dictate "life and death". There are still many uses for it, so of which may not be possible with lower amounts.
maybe it is the inverse. When you are successful in work and personal life you become confident. And they fuels more success/confidence. Basically you become more confident as and when you find more success.

It's not so much that central banks are reactive as that central banks can't set interest rates and the inflation rate simultaneously. In other words, central banks can set nominal interest rates, but real rates (i.e. nominal rates adjusted for inflation) are ultimately set by the market.

SR3: Image Super-Resolution via Iterative Refinement
> Depression is aggression turned inward .

This was a very powerful reframing of the idea, especially after setting up the biological sources of aggression. Inventing new, accessible, and even useful outlets or ways to exernalize aggression instead of suppressing it could help a lot of people. The very idea that aggression could be a real need that benefits from relief could be a huge breakthrough in helping people manage their general mental health under extreme conditions like long term isolation. It also implies that suppressing aggression may cause depression, which any situation where you've been made to feel powerless is in effect, defined by.

It sort of makes sense that our societies have created social taboos around aggression needs that started as necessary but metastasized over time, the same way we have managed to dement other needs like sexuality, food, and companionship with primative categorical tools that produce versions and understandings of them that are abominations. Analogously, in that framework, depression may also be such an artifact of a similar cognitive abomination.

The idea of "men not talking about their feelings," makes more sense as men suppressing aggression because our societies use disgust taboos as a tool to manage them, in a very similar way that disgust is used to control womens' sexuality. When you view aggression as a physiological need, and then analogize it to how we obviously pervert other needs by managing them with disgust, some conceptual dominoes start to fall.

Admittedly I'm sounding this out for the first time myself, but if aggression is a physiological response to being threatened, creative activities can relieve our aggression needs because they are a reassertion and expression of self that has been threatened. Powerlessness causes aggression, and creativity is often a response to it. The reason physicality "works," on depression because it directs all the faculties that would be an aggression response outward. Lifting weights, running, martial arts, even more advanced yoga, or any exercise is going to provide some relief of that need. It's different from peace, rest, sympathy, or entertainment and it could also apply to things like gambling and substance abuse, where the masochism (def: craving of intensity) is a release for inverted agressive needs.

My close male friends are all type-A giant personalities, and the things we have in common are these intense activities that in effect, manage aggression. We do hyper intense things together like riding motorcycles and horses, snowboarding, lift weights, make heavy music, perform, code, and write (among other things), which are all high intensity activities that are assertions of self, and in effect, relieving a need for aggression.

Viewed as something essential or a need, engineering people (socially or otherwise) to be immoderately less aggressive would be like doing the same for appetite, sexuality, or sociability, and literally make them the expression of the disgust that motivated altering them.

Unbelievable what the reframing of a concept can unlock.

Does anyone else find it disturbing that per this post any content considered advertiser friendly has to be also be kid friendly and that any videos for 18+ are already receiving near zero ad revenue by YouTube. Get this, the age group that both has the least spending power and is smaller than the 18+ group of people is determining the videos that make money and therefore also get promoted and shared the most. Just look at all the top videos on YouTube they are for 5 year olds or younger now. We are turning into a society that considers everyone a child that can’t handle the truth of the world.
The author is also not against using HTML/JS for things they were not initially intended for:

> It can be very useful to run certain programs in the browser. In a lot of cases, however, the same technologies are used for documents.

And yes, often the HTML is generated from a database. That's fine. "Document" does not equal "file on disk". The HTTP/HTML model just talks about the entities that actually hit the wire. If what you're delivering to the browser isn't a document, but rather a program running in the browser to build a document, you should be taking a deep breath and checking whether you actually need to do that.
One of my main use cases for CMake is that it works very well as a Windows, Mac, Linux cross-platform busybox. It allows to download files from the internet, unzip / untar, compute SHA hashes, do file system operations, ... in a very shell-like way (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.21/manual/cmake.1.html#run-a...).

It's also been very useful in allowing to implement simple code parsing and generation thanks to its regex support, without having to install Perl (a pain on Win32), Bash (a pain on Win32), Python (same) and without requiring to build another binary doing the code parsing / code generation step (which generally causes a ton of problems as soon as you want to cross-compile since the code generation binary should be built with the host toolset - e.g. what if I want to run a code generator for a WASM target or some kind of VM as part of my build and don't want to have to run multiple build passes ?).

Finally I like that I don't have to put all my strings in "" unlike other build systems, I find it much more readable.

There was an experiment at Apple ages ago with the idea of reframing user interaction from the app to the document. OpenDoc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDoc), which is remembered nowadays as an answer to Microsoft's OLE, was built around the idea that the nexus of programming could be not "What program is being run?" but instead "What data is being manipulated?" Different pieces of data would automatically invoke different code to interpret and / or modify them on-the-fly.

It was novel at the time, and we have something like that today in the form of the web browser... Though most data one fetches isn't intended for in-place editing, the convenient thing about web pages is that their hierarchical, dynamic, and self-modifying nature allow for a lot of the concepts explored in OpenDoc and OLE to be implemented within them.

Since then, we’ve endured a great reversal in the trends underlying the postwar prosperity, capped off by a global financial crisis that bore many similarities to the Depression. In fact, even though the 2007-10 downturn was shallower, the subsequent recovery was so much weaker that the net effect is that GDP per American grew less in 2007-2019 than in 1929-1940.

This is not a surprise at all and not indicative of the economy being weak. A bigger decline will lead a more abrupt recovery. US GDP surged 40% over the past decade. Compare that to most countries and the US has done quite well Also, inflation was much higher too.
