I'm sorry to say this, but this is one of the saddest things a person can say in my opinion. You can definitely become your job, but I can't see myself ever wanting something like that.

I hope you don’t take it personally, because it’s not intended as such, but this is sad.

There is no "10X" touch-typist because a) the performance limit is absolute & relatively low and b) the learning curve is such that it's easy to get to the limit and plateau. Now let's increase complexity - still typing, but you must translate the text from another language. Increase again - now you're translating poetry. Increase again - the poetry is original Shakespeare. You need to translate into contemporary English approachable to Gen Z, as a script for a TikTok short, referencing memes from current events. There is no doubt that some people will have a combination of talents - in language, typing, copywriting, built-up cultural knowledge, lived experiences - that will make them 10X in such jobs.

The more software development work approaches touch-typing, the less difference between 1x and 10X — strict Jira tickets in, garbage out, maybe slightly faster. Spec-work, and most grunt-work, is undifferentiated and does not benefit from a 10X person. The more your work approaches poetry - such as exercising user empathy, improving the architecture, considering UX, respecting performance constraints, understanding user's jobs to be done, and improving your implementation around that - the more creative space there is for 10X to reveal itself.

Actually you are what you do. People can quit their job anytime they want to; most just lack the courage and fortitude to attempt living without a solid income and utilize all manner of emotionally based arguments to make them think this is not the true reason they do just that.
There are at least a handful of countries that offer services like this (basic check cashing, and in some cases, accounts with balances) via the post office. Italy, France, and Japan come to mind as examples, I'm sure there are more.

I think part of the reasoning is in the trades there's the presumption that to be a master you must also be old (with exceptions, Da Vinci was active when he was still younger, 20).

In the programming industry, there's likely a bias more toward younger people, and hiring offices ask for the world. They'd like a whole staff of masters and rockstars. Though that doesn't preclude "older" people from being known as masters either. Take John Carmack or Jonathan Blow, for example.
Do you know this for sure?
People typically call them geniuses, not masters. And the reason we don't call them genius programmers is that people don't like to use the genius label for people who aren't famous.

Yes, you've got the CBOE crap, you've got a gazillion other smaller venues, and you've got desks at every bank which will write you options on whatever you like.

OP is talking about trading ES and SPX, and it was more likely they had confused it with SPY given the other confusion around tick sizes and given the size of the big daddy SP contract (and the language suggested this person had just gone to the CME site and did a bit of copy paste...especially the language about on tick being $12.50, which any spoos trader will know by heart).

Anyway - going to leave this one, I think I've added all the value I can add.

10. I don't think the bottom end of the scale is zero. I've seen people being actively harmful to the project.

That being said where you lay on the scale depends on context.

In my previous project I was a [-0.25;0.25], so I quit, because I was miserable and so were my teammates who had to work with me.

This is a thing in the UK - both collection and delivery. In fact I can even order in the morning and collect in the evening, if the collection point has the availability on the day. Otherwise I can order for delivery the following day, or up to 2 weeks in advance. Typically a £1 charge on top of groceries, but the actual amount can vary based on how busy the system is in the timeslot you pick - can even be free as a way for them to spread out customers across the timetable.

I didn't use it until the pandemic kicked off, and then I only started using it as a way to avoid the long queues outside supermarkets. And it was a revelation. I can now select everything I want to buy over the course of a few hours to a few days, and then go and collect at the time I picked. I rarely forget anything, as I can just add it to the order as I remember it. And from arrival to departure is normally no more than 10 minutes, can be ridiculously short if you pick the right timeslot, or can be up to 30 minutes if busy - that's still faster than parking, going into the store, wandering around, forgetting things, checking out and loading the car.

The downside to it is if an item isn't available, you may get some weird replacements or just don't get the item at all. But that's not entirely different to if you went inside anyway.

In all seriousness, if Amazon can get a delivery across the country and out for delivery within 6 hours, supermarkets should be able to select your order, pack it and make it available to collect from the store in less time.

That kind of reminds me of Dota 2, where knowing your rating tilts you into playing even worse, when you are below average, or makes you toxic when you are above average (because everyone believes they are so good at the game).

There is also an «unranked» mode, where you can play without showing any numbers, but the big difference is that Dota 2 is a team game, and while some people play unranked to be more relaxed and care less about their rating, a lot of players won't try hard to win, because they don't see a point in winning if they don't see their rating get higher anyway.

It's frustrating that community forces you to play ranked if you actually want to win, but you can't relax when you know you are mediocre.

> ...preying on the weakest of our society with miserable wages and horrible work conditions...

Is there a long list of better jobs they could be doing that they are choosing not to because the VCs are all hypnotists? is it better for the weakest to sit around doing nothing all day?

The VCs look like losers here too, they are making lousy returns on a lot of these ventures. The problem in the story is a weak economy that means people can't get good work, and the constant infusions of cash to people who make bad long term decisions (eg, the banks after the 2008 financial crisis).

It's not about AI. They trained a neural net to approximate an offline
calculation that required more time and processing power than what's available
on a drone, then they used the trained neural net to navigate the drone by
trying to predict the approximated calculation. Thus, saving on time and
processing power and allow the neural net to pilot the drone at the vertiginous
speeds of 40 km/h :P

(but through trees and all)

The article calls the algorithm that performed the offline calculation a
"simulated expert", probably because it operated in a simulation. My guess is it
was a classical planner. Planning works very well but it can be slow and
deliberate because it usually has to solve some kind of NP-complete SAT problem
and so on. By approximating it with a neural net they avoid the time-consuming,
intractable calculation. The question is how broadly it can generalise.
Facebook itself is a technical solution to a people problem. How can you say it never works? Why shouldn't it work?

I think that allowing companies to pay in cash is seen as dangerously close to paying "under the table" and not properly documenting for taxation purposes - governments like a money trail.

Calendar Management System for SaaS Products
I'm looking for a solution to help me do calendar management in my system (something like Calendar as a Service).

Some of the features that I would need are
1. Ability to create a calendar for every user in my system.
2. Allow everyone to set their availability and Off Days. They should also be able to change the availability for a specific day.
3. Ability for the system to book a timeslot on any of the user's calendars.
4. Ability to check conflicts before booking a slot.
5. Ability to get notified via Webhooks whenever someone cancels the already booked slots.

I don't need a UI. I can use any readily available Calendar UI Component. All I need is a service that can provide APIs to manage multiple calendars (one of each user in my system).

I've explored Calendly, but it requires every user within my system to have an account on Calendly as well. So it's not going to work for me.

Currently, I'm exploring Calendso, but I would appreciate it if you could share any other services you are familiar with that I should explore for this use case.

Are you saying there is no safe exposure limit to a laser? That doesn't sound right. There are already dazzlers available for non lethal defense. You could use a poorly collimated laser to temporarily degrade vision just like any bright light causes temporary pupil constriction. I'm not suggesting causing actual eye damage.

This has happened in every industry due to economies of scale and network effects.

Even the news sites complaining about Facebook are examples of this, we are down to a handful of major media companies controlling everything

C++ is generally considered a statically typed language. I don't think the following quote from the article is correct.

"C++ is a dynamically-typed language, so there is a lack of measures to prevent code errors and spot the problems prior to compiling the whole program. Rust is known as a statically-typed language with many additional improvements, and that’s why its process of validating the code is much more rigorous than C++ has."
Please don’t listen to this. These are the words of someone who allowed work to destroy the part of themselves that had their own hopes and dreams. Only a shell that could take directions was left.
I'd say most people hope it makes them rich, not necessarily expect it. More likely, aiming for a high return they can't get anywhere else.

It's a distribution like anything else. A handful of billionaires, a larger group of millionaires, and then comes the sweetspot.

The sweetspot for crypto is middle class (from lower middle class to higher middle class) doing a 5-10x from whatever they put in. Not enough to retire, but meaningful wealth. This return is within reach for almost anybody with some study, patience, and proper risk management.

The largest British supermarket, Tesco, launched this in 1997. At the time, you could get the catalogue on CD-ROM as well as over the internet.

You book a time slot within the next few days (delivery within a 4 hour period costs less than within a 1-2 hour period; popular times cost more too). You order, they deliver it. The cost is £2-7.

This is a USA perspective.

Cloudy apple juice is referred to in the UK, and most places apart from the USA, as "cloudy apple juice". Cloudy fermented apple juice is referred to in the UK as "scrumpy" or "scrumpy cider". It's mainly made in Herefordshire and the West Country, and it can be surprisingly strong; in many West Country pubs, they won't let you order a pint of scrumpy, they'll limit it to half-a-pint, unless you are known (or have a local accent).

I have heard, but I don't know, that it was customary to chuck an iron ploughshare into the cider fermenting vat; it would completely disappear by the end of fermentation. I have heard a similar tale about throwing in a horse's head - nothing left, dissolves completely.

I'm sure they don't use these adulterants in the production of commercial "hobo cider", such as White Lightning. But vegan "ciderpunks" should maybe ask questions about the scrumpy they are ordering.
Out of curiosity why don't you go back? I did and am enjoying work on the new terms that the "cash out" allows me.
In US banking, many customers are relatively costly, with low balances, requiring branches with expensive people to service them. Overdraft happens often with them, and is a cost to the bank. They cannot be given credit, and are not otherwise candidates for other services by which banks make money. So fees- overdraft, deposit, withdrawal, desk usage, account- it is.
