I'm 39, and have about ~700k in equity on my primary residence (conservative estimate), and my wife and I have about 700k in various investments/savings accounts, split evenly between retirement accounts and non retirement accounts.

Most of my money came from saving. Never worked for a FAANG or had startup equity hit, but I was doing software professionally at 17 and have saved a chunk almost every year since then.

While I could have afforded an apartment in my early/mid twenties, I ended up living with roommates and saving, then later buying a condo in early 2009.

Then I rented a room out. Always bought used furniture, found deals on cars (I did drive entry level luxury cars), was very careful about splurging on technology or entertainment. I did probably spend too much at bars and whatnot though.

So some of my net worth is due to good timing in RE, but a lot was due to working hard (enough) in my early-mid twenties that I was able to get a decent war chest and then invest it.
WSL was born from the previous Android on Windows project, known as Project Astoria.
American who's kicked a soda addiction -- it's super cheap, tasty, has some caffeine, and it's everywhere (gas station, convenience store, supermarket, advertisements), not to mention you have to walk by a soda fridge near the checkout lines of most retail stores. I only drank diet soda but you become so desensitized to it that water is 'boring' in comparison you don't reach for it as easily
I would love that - been thinking about how to automate Youtube's generated closed captions from positions I'm in based on positions he's in. I typically play Caro-Kann and Danish Gambit so it seems likely I probably see common positions in the first half-dozen moves or so.
Okay. Here are more important things that were short then, and are still short:

1. Computer chips, and things that depend on them like cars
2. Labor
3. Groceries (have you seen the stores?)

You are talking about trivial items, like baking yeast and jigsaw puzzles, and I'm talking about far-reaching systemic issues, like labor and food.
Is this now the fashion to blame the media by default? Subsidy is the exact term the study uses:

> This paper provides a comprehensive global, regional, and country-level update of: (i) efficient fossil fuel prices to reflect their full private and social costs; and (ii) subsidies implied by mispricing fuels

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2021/09/23/Sti...

While it's a stretch to lump together all of the costs as subsidies -- maybe neglected externalities is the better term -- it is still important to call them out. Renewable or EV websites are often inundated with calls for ending subsidies for renewable energy, ignorant or not. They always conveniently forget the externalities of fossil-based energy, in no small part because of the lack of quantifiable cost. After all, if it isn't priced in, then the society has to shoulder it.

Advertisement. Coca Cola spends billions every year in advertising. Nobody would drink this otherwise.

What I don't get is how they can get away with it. I mean people are getting crazy over companies like Facebook but junk food companies get a free pass for some reason. Most Americans are even unable to see the link with obesity rates.
Gotcha, so then, then the appropriate word would be whichever specific group you're talking about (Inuit, Yupik, Aleut, etc), or a less racist umbrella category that describes who you mean, like "indigenous people in the pacific northwest."
When I first used Interix back in the late 90s I had this dream that someday I'd see a version of NT that booted into text mode and ran an all-POSIX userland. That's never going to happen now but, architecturally, NT could totally pull it off.

Edit:

Microsoft wouldn't ever open-source NT but, damn, GNU/Windows NT would be a sweet OS to use. (Make it license-compatible with ZFS and it'd be awesome.)
Never really thought about it. I’d love for someone with knowledge to weigh in on this: Does it ever make sense to pay more SS tax, based on a present-value analysis?

I guess it’s really three questions:

1) For each dollar to SS taxes, do I expect to get more than a dollar from SS in the future?
2) Same question as 1, but inflation-adjusted future dollars.
3) If the expected return is positive, does it beat reasonable market returns?

Guessing the answer depends on age, income levels, etc. I just don’t know how to do the math myself.
Do other drinks / sources of caffeine work to replace it? I know it takes a couple of weeks to get over caffeine withdrawal, during which you may feel really tired or get headaches.
Yeah this is straight up just false. Insulin is not released based on taste, that would be very problematic. Some studies have found very low levels of insulin based on taste and feelings of eating but that's it.
Look at PC gaming for an example of how this choice is NOT in the hands of consumers. If a developer gets paid by Epic to have an Epic store exclusive, how does the consumer win here?

I have to decide between getting a game (that I want to get and want to give my money to the developer for) at the time I want at the cost of using Epic's buggy and shady launcher.

It isn't Apple's job to hold my hand, but I certainly appreciate them dealing with the hundreds of developers whose products I interact with, creating a "code of conduct" that I can trust and know developers will abide by (99.9% of the time)
I bought a RadPower Wagon last year and it's been great. $1,500 for a bike that can get 20 miles on a charge doesn't seem out of line.
Apple takes a cut since they give you visibility in their appstore. Are you saying that their argument is nonsense and that nobody finds apps they want to install in the appstore and instead people learn about apps in other ways? Then why should the app store take the huge 30% cut?

And difficulty to install matters a great deal. If it is a few more clicks you will lose a ton of users because of it.
Those passive relationships are why I left Facebook. I had hundreds of friends, from people I had met once or twice to family and close friends of decades - but few of them put any effort into the relationships, instead relying on Facebook to prompt them to wish well on major events or update them on news.

Those relationships you don't want to let go of? They're largely worthless.

It's semi-complicated and depends on what happens later in his career (SS uses the highest income from X number of years to determine your payout), but in the general case, yes it will increase his SS payout.

“Payments are done using the mobile banking app or the online banking environment of your own bank. “ that’s from the ideal webpage, we’ve had solutions like that for a while too, that’s not why people want ApplePay, it’s for payments in stores or online (without jumping through hoops), not bank account transfers.
Ideal also have that terrible QR code madness where you have to scan it with an app, that’s the dark ages, luckily those systems failed miserably here.
It's just culture. Some cultures eat a lot of rice, some drink a lot of vodka, some eat a lot of fish. Probably a mix of marketing and cultural taste like most things.
So we should encourage copycat apps? This line of thinking doesn't really lead to a place that is productive for developers OR consumers...
In the spirit of always starting your negotiation high and working toward a palatable middle, I'd like to propose a 2-day work week and 5 days off.

You may think that sounds crazy, but how many hours of dedicated, actual work do you do in a week? If you work a "9-5" and are reading this comment at work right now, I can give you a hint: it's not 40 ;)

I think we'd all be less distracted and more focused if we forced the "week's work" to happen in 2 , 8-hour days, and we could feel less guilty about not being perfectly-oiled constantly productive machines for the remaining 5/7 days of the week.
Soda is highly subsidized in the US, it is a consequence of US gov subsidizing corn syrup, so on a ratio of wages to prize sodas are very, very, very cheap, and in a country with few public bathrooms or public fountains, the easiest way to have a drink while on the go used to be sodas

These days it is more common to ask for water, but even then, that will be bottled water and the prices can be similar to soda
In my school (3rd world country, but expensive school), we had to draw the flag of our country (stripes, circles) with QBasic in MS-DOS.

This would have been around 1997. I remember complaining because I had an older sibling at the same school, and all they had to do was draw the flag in MS Paint.

Windows NT was born with multicore support from the get go, hence why the unit of execution is threads not processes.
> What if I explicitly want a smartphone with a platform where all third-party software has to follow the platform’s rules?

It is pretty simple. A user could be given the option to "lock down" their phone.

That way, if you want your smartphone to only allow apps that follow the platform's rules, that would be your choice.

What you wouldn't be able to do, is force other users to do what you want.

That way, you get what you want for your phone, and others get what they want for their phone.
Indeed, the empathy piece I'm often suspicious of because the personalization of an interaction causes at least as many problems as it solves. We can't fake empathy, we can't empathize with everyone, and it's presumptive to expect others to treat us as a peer, so I err on the side of civility over empathy. The conventions of civility are designed specifically to avoid humiliating people unintentionally, where empathizing can get into personal business where humiliation and its conseqeunces become inevitable.
The problem is these social media platforms are so big, they represent our only practical public space for societal discourse. These are ubiquitous and fundamental services in the modern era. They need to be treated as utilities and common carriers. We can’t just let unfair discrimination and censorship hide behind claims of private ownership for this kind of platform with that kind of reach.
Some of that Python is strange for numerical Python practices, yes, but I was aiming for close floating-point output equivalence. Rust ndarray provides the standard set of matrix ops, but I keep getting different results (\propto 1e-5 on a stable basis, which isn't quite a proof of incorrectness, but....) when I use too much numpy stuff like linalg.norm, etc. (ndarray slices in Rust are annoying to use because of lifetimes and such.)

I did my dissertation on symplectic exponential Runge-Kutta schemes with stable numerics for the big matrix exponentials needed (which have this specific structure that allow for theorems to be proven). But I didn't have time to write any code at all. I wonder if open source ODE solvers are getting good high-order symplectic methods by now...
There are a few reasons. One is that soda is marketed extremely heavily by Coke and Pepsi as a very normal drink to have all of the time. The other is that is pushed in restaurants a lot as it has a huge profit margin, similar to alcohol but you can have it as a child; relatedly children get a taste for it as its very sweet and sets people up from child hood. Another is that corn syrup is heavily subsidized, and is in food everywhere here, and very few families have a house wife cooking food from scratch these days. So processed food with sugar additives is normal giving people these addictions and cravings.

Because it's obviously not the idiomatic way to use Python. No one is going to bother writing a program that way in Python, they'd just write it in C or C++ then link it.
another similar thing is chewing-gums. Body starts chewing, produce more saliva, and some enzymes, but nothing comes down as expected. Or reversly, when food is not chewed, the body misses an important step
> The main thing to do is to stop thinking about IPv4. Just put the IPv4 concepts aside and start thinking about it as if IPv6 just showed up on the scene as the L3 protocol.

That's exactly the problem with IPv6 and why its struggle to get traction as a replacement for IPv4. It's the Gnome3 of networking protocols.
I agree with your geopolitical assessment but I doubt you can consistently rely on US legislature to protect the country's long term interests. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it does but it hasn't demonstrated much ability or interest in countering China's industrial influence.

Hi ospencer, cohix, nyahmacklindev, and jagger27:

- Could you share some insights on why wasmtime and not wasm3 or wasmer in particular (other than the fact that the bytecodealliance is putting its weight behind wasmtime)?

- What do you make of Cloudflare's / Deno.land's approach of relying on v8 isolates (which can run WASM) versus relying on WASI for the nanoprocess model? Do you think eventually most edge-functions would be WASM-only (as opposed to v8 / firecracker)? Or, are there inherent limitations in the WASM-only approach?

- Azure's Deis Labs (krustlet.dev) has been experimenting a bunch with server-side WASM lately (as are startups such as golioth.io / hotg.ai) and it seems like things are indeed brewing up fast in this space. Any developments you'd particularly recommend folks keep an eye on?

- How did the team get together to work on suborbital?

One look at "What comes after k8s" thread (item?id=27155526) and it is clear most developers here think serverless or an alt k8s (like k0s / k3s / hashicorp nomad) is the way forward. I particularly think WASM is poised to take over serverless itself. So, all the best and hope you folks make it. Thx.

A ton of fast food to fast casual places offer it with meals so people just drink it. I usually get unsweet tea instead (no it’s not the tea you are thinking of). Mexico consumes the most Sodas and beats the US despite having a much smaller population.

Most people I know who actually buy soda and bring it to their home either don’t drink alcohol or coffee. Plenty of Indian’s drink tea and there are probably street vendors who sell sugar cane juice or fresh squeezed fruit.

Everyone has their vices. Lots of people chew Paan and betel leaf but you’d never hear about it in the US.

I actually think in a way one of Facebooks core proposition is being the internet for most people which is not that far off from AOL. The similarity here is that no one knows what is going to render FB obsolete right now. Just like no one knew what was going to do the same for AOL. AOL lost in part I believe because they were not really able to transition from Dialup "internet" Provider to Content Aggregator when broadband became a thing. The value add just wasn't there.
My dad did the same and has been relatively happy with the decision.

God damn it this is gonna ruin traffic on highway 84 again, it was so nice not to have traffic on the Dumbarton.
I made the mistake of buying a .co.de domain and putting my professional email on it. One time it was down for a couple of days, no .co.de domains would resolve and I couldn't get my emails, so I took it upon myself to find out who to contact and actually got them to fix it. Now they've improved and my email is down due to DNS issues only a few hours every quarter!

Reliability is really bad for rare gLTD's, I would say don't even bother. Keep important systems on .com and friends.
what does it mean to be banned, really? can't you sign up again with another email address?

I might have used an early beta of Julia circa 2018 or something, but the chorus that it performs like $static_fastlang doesn't match the experience I had.
At some point, China might actually put in restrictions on pollution as well. With their interest in Africa, I would not be surprised to see China being intersted in moving some of their dirty manufacturing to Africa.
> Look at PC gaming for an example of how this choice is NOT in the hands of consumers.

This doesn't make any sense. It is already the case that if someone only publishes the app on android, and don't publish it on the iPhone, then you as a consumer can't buy it on the apple app store.

Are you going to argue that your choice is being taken away, because a developer only put it on android? That is no different than if they put it on a different iPhone app store.

I think what I'm saying in the two comments is consistent, though.

The average HN reader passes judgement on Facebookers (myself included), meanwhile we waste time on sites we're convinced are "better"... but often it's just a tradeoff. HN: external links to thoughtful and informative articles, apolitical, but very impersonal and humorless. FB: insular, but (in theory) you know people, and maintain your relationships with people you don't see in person.

I don't mean to say "both are the same" -- that would be too facile. But, I don't think one or the other is clearly superior in any absolute sense.
I think I disagree on both points. VAIL is not available yet, that I have seen, and I don't believe it was intended originally for Win32 apps.

I don't think VAIL has shipped yet, and getting that working correctly and securely, as it involves sharing memory between the WSL2 VM with a Linux kernel and the host Windows kernel, seems to me the most likely blocking issue for why they haven't yet released Android app support on Windows. See this comment on the readme of the WSLg repo:

> Please note that for the first release of WSLg, vGPU interops with the Weston compositor through system memory. If running on a discrete GPU, this effectively means that the rendered data is copied from VRAM to system memory before being presented to the compositor within WSLg, and uploaded onto the GPU again on the Windows side.

As for originally being intended for Win32 apps, I do wonder if "Vail" and "VAIL" are different projects within the OS division. The Linux/X11/Wayland and vGPU interop part of VAIL requires different expertise and deep knowledge of the Linux graphical stack.
This is inspiring and refreshing.
Aren't you measuring glucose instead of insulin though? I might expect a spike in insulin after a spike in glucose, but the other way around doesn't seem as likely.

Unless we want some kind of thought police making sure we don't think the wrong things or - worse - cause bad thinking in others.
This is the issue.

I wish we could have had (static) PD, then locally define a netmask, and then DHCP or straight static for local devices.

Internally, you'd ignore PD for routing within netmask - so regardless of where WAN link went you'd still be ok locally. But because address space is so big, and PD is so big, these local addresses were also (with PD attached) globally routable.

I'd also love if IPv6 only devices had an EASY way to hit IPv4 (ie, xxx:ipv4 in IPv6 address space, with the border device which could be dual stack translating over to IPv4) as a default transition config. One problem is that IPv6 put so many new concepts in it doesn't map as cleanly as maybe IPv5 might have (just an extension in size of space).
I wouldn’t be quite that cynical, but gaming is known for tons of extra hours.

All companies I have known with bad hours have also officially had 40 hour weeks.
I agree, WSL2 is the third iteration of Astoria.
They’re not abusing an exploit. You might be able to argue that they’re abusing a policy.

The fact is that you are allowed to sign apps with a free dev account, the cert will just expire after a week.

AltStore’s been around since 2019, so they’ve had ample time to “fix” it.

Edit: they do not need to be reinstalled. With AltStore the cert update is automatic and wireless (your computer handles it and sends the updated cert to your phone). You will never notice their expiration, and never need to reinstall, unless you’re away from your computer for more than a week.
Is that true in general or did Apple and Google make a special deal on this? Apple and Google are very friendly to each other so I see why Apple would let them do this.
