Can those living in CA chime in about this?
Consider going back to work, but be ultra selective.

I've worked with a few people who can afford to retire, but find themselves happier showing up to work everyday.

Also, consider YC's founder matching network. Let someone else figure out what the product is, how to sell it, and you just do the bits that you enjoy.
I'm not ignoring it; my earlier example shows they catch exactly that. Again: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/republican-official-ohi...

> Snodgrass was busted after a Delaware County election worker questioned the signature on his father’s ballot. A subsequent investigation revealed the ballot had been mailed to H. Edward Snodgrass on Oct. 6 — a day after the 78-year-old retired businessman died.

Voter registration isn't "finalized"; quite a few states have same-day registration or provisional balloting. There's verification steps that happen on and after election day.
While this is obviously important for deadly pandemics, I would be the first in line for anything that would protect me from even a portion of viruses that cause colds.

Only once in my life have I had a cold that seemed like what other people usually get - a few days of congestion and feeling mildly run down. Ironically it was the same cold that my wife had something like I usually have: a full two to three weeks of being fully stuffed up and ridiculously tired.

I also had fully symptomatic COVID twice, so my immune system is apparently terrible. In short, gimme…and put a rhinovirus vaccine in there while you’re at it.

Europe is increasingly irrelevant to the future of geopolitics.

The West is increasingly irrelevant to the future of geopolitics.

It may not happen overnight, but it will happen. The West is broke. It is becoming weaker and poorer by the day.

It will be like Japan or Germany in WW2 in many ways. It will be unable to replace losses of war-materiel fast enough to maintain its strength. After a few years, there won't be enough fighters, bombers, ships, soldiers, etc. to maintain a workable defence.

Even for a serious health issue, millions seems very unlikely. Additionally, while health care in the US is expensive compared to everywhere else, it isn't likely that the premiums for a single 27 y/o would be the deciding figure in "can or can't retire".
While I was home from college, one summer night I noticed a two-story downtown building (with low-rent apartments upstairs) had a fire on the ground floor. The firetruck arrived within minutes. A few minutes later a fireman brought the body of a 13-yo boy downstairs from the second floor. He was laid out on the ground.

No sprinkler system on any floor. The second floor had one fire escape, but it probably wouldn't have helped - the youngster was completely unburned but dead of smoke asphyxiation. Never to be forgotten.
TypeScript doesn’t help disambiguate a poorly named boolean parameter though; it only helps when the expected value is a specific object type, and even then may be ambiguous.
Hah. When Safeway closes all the perps will go over to the remaining supermarkets to steal, then, eventually all supermarkets will close. Then you'll have a dystopian Mad Max future with crooks desperate for food holding up anyone, fast food places will disappear, restaurants will close, the crooks will have to fan out into the countryside to find food, and the farmers/ranchers will be staking out their fields heavily armed.

Discussions are already in place among retailers to start walling off - - and only providing sliding steel door / cage type openings. Customer slides money into opening - - store employee slides box or bag of products out - - much like drive through banking. Then, crooks will merely stick up customers who will be armed and waiting for trouble, urban warfare will commence. YouTube Influencers and news hounds will post the shoot-outs on YouTube for all to watch.

But really, no joke about it - - honest taxpayers are paying for all this by higher retail prices . . . . it's you and me.

Indeed. As someone somewhat familiar with "underhanded code" contests (not as a participant) and publicly known espionage norms. I'm unsure why people expect backdoors to have massive MOTD banners and not be reintroduced OpenSSL vulns from 2006 that "accidentally" got into the build process for certain releases of firmware 11 years later (this happened with the UK Huawei audit iirc). I'm also unsure why people expect specific examples of known backdoors when that in itself hurts counter espionage efforts.

Haha, Russia only has to look at the gas knob a little and Europe starts groveling. Doubtful that Europe can muster the will to defend its lands, even the Neo Ottoman Empire is a credible military threat.

> Oh, I understand why it hasn't collapsed already.

I feel stupid, but I still actually don't. If considerably more people will want to sell it than there is a demand for it, the price will have to go down, no matter what, as long as "price" is anything more than a decorative label on the exchange's website and you actually can swap it for any currency at all. So, either the exchange should cover all that demand, which doesn't sound reasonable (I'm not sure it's realistic, and even if it was — why would they do that? if this happens, Tether is dead, they can either abandon it or go down with it), or there actually must be some demand. So, I assume it's the latter.

But why would there be any demand for it, if everybody (basically) knows that USDT is a scam? It isn't the same thing as "SHIBA is a scam" or whatever, because even if everyone agrees SHIBA is essentially worthless, people are buying it to speculate, so it can hold onto a belief that others believe it will grow. You cannot speculate on USDT, since USDT cannot grow by definition, it's a stablecoin (and not the only one — there are others with better reputation). It can only crash.

So why doesn't it?
> You could make the same claim about any kind of money though.

This is one of the things I find hilarious about cryptocurrency discussions. When I point out it isn't a good asset, people argue it's really a currency. When I point out it's a bad currency, people argue it's an asset. I'd love it if you all could get together and agree on what it's supposed to be good for and just leave the rest of us out of it.

But addressing your point directly, it's bad as a currency. It was launched in 2009 as e-cash, and for a while people argued it was going to be a great medium of exchange. Now, more than a decade later, Bitcoin is doing what, 100m transactions per year? Most of which are not real economic transactions for goods and services. Venmo, which started around the same time, does over 2 billion. M-Pesa, a "digital money" solution the same age does 15 billion. US credit transactions? 45 billion. Debit? 75 billion per year. And unlike Bitcoin, most of those are what people would call real transactions. Bitcoin's real use as a currency/payment system is a rounding error.

Anyhow, as others point out, actual major currencies are backed by very sophisticated organizations dedicated to maintaining the value of those currencies. Which are in turned supervised by national governments, most of which are democratically elected.

For Bitcoin, at best you have a set of shadowy organizations manipulating the market to their own advantage. E.g., reasonable people suspect that Tether is behind quite a bit of Bitcoin price appreciation. They have been proven to be liars about what they're doing and how much money they have. This is great for creating hype and volatility, but it's very much not what you want in an actual currency.
Heh, sounds like you had the opposite experience. I was on call the second week I had him and I'm a bit regretful since some extra first couple weeks' training without interruptions would've probably been better.

Huge plus one. Even just seeing him play with other dogs is a huge endorphin boost for me.

Can anyone speak to the details of what is happening in the supply chain for this particular part series? (1N4148 [1])

The market seems very bullish on the manufacturer [2], Diodes Incorporated. Over the past six months their stock price has gone from around $72 to $99. [3] If lead times are over a year, wouldn't it make sense that a competitor will eventually step in and take some of that market share? If these were high-gate chips, I would understand a barrier to entry might protect Diodes Inc., but for something as simple as a diode I don't understand how they can lock up the market.

I'm splitting my time between a Pre-Series A startup, a Series E startup that's my fulltime gig, and developing my own cloud platform similar to AWS in Rust.

The cloud platform is fun. Learning the different components and just giving myself the freedom to do things in the best way I can figure out- writing my own RPC Framework, Scheduler, VM Management Tooling, etc... The end objective is to build a "not for profit" cloud platform for personal and small projects. So you can build awesome cloud-native applications for communities and other areas that are not profit driven.

Also might start trying to build a custom digital rifle scope for my AR-10. Something that can do range finding and basic sight adjustments based on distance and wind. That'd be cool...

Since I work in a large enterprise, and I got tired of our dog-slow Jira instance, I’m building an offline client for Jira that syncs up every so often.

More importantly, it responds to everything you do locally instantly (still kind of figuring out how large you can make the local database before that isn’t true any more).

I’ll release it at some point, but it’s still missing a bunch of (probably not quite essential) functionality that I want it to have. I think I’m procrastinating because I enjoy being it’s only user and having zero responsibility to anyone.

> Honestly, I haven't the faintest clue the point you are making or why you are nitpicking to this degree. I think I made it clear why legal and judicial professionals should have a rudimentary understanding and awareness of encryption for the purpose of making sound decisions that affect society.

You're asking for them to have a very strange understanding of encryption, that doesn't match how the term is normally used. The important part is the security, not that you need an algorithm to decode. It's not nitpicking to say you're asking for them to know something irrelevant that's adjacent to some important things they should understand.
The Qing dynasty never ruled over Taiwan. It just decided oneday in 1887 “oh let’s call Taiwan a Provence”

Japan is the only country that ruled Taiwan with an iron fist and put in infrastructure education law and order etc.

So no china didn’t rule over Taiwan.
I don't see how they can possibly exfiltrate meta-data undetected, unless that's explicitly in their terms of sale.

As for denial of infrastructure, that's possible if we're running huawei software... in which case don't? Is software really their strong point anyways?
I suspect they could be units that didn't pass the QC bar to be sold standalone; shucked drives are cheaper for good reason.

> Ultimately cryptocurrencies are a negative-sum game in that they take in real money and just move that money around, while spending some on overhead.

I'm no Crypto fan, but this is wrong.

Plenty of new coins get minted which are redeemed for real money. This is basically the credit creation cycle[1] as seen in traditional banking (where banks create money by lending the same deposit out multiple times simultaneously) except in this case there is often no equivalent of a deposit (except sort-of staking in some cases).

I'm trying to write a test tool that recompiles a .Net binary so you can swap in mock objects without dependency injection. The goal is to allow you to write normal code without all the ceremonies needed to make it testable; and the let the test tool create testing hooks after compilation.

It's interesting working closer with IL, and without a lot of StackOverflow posts when I get stuck.
Thanks Dan - our engineers are consultants as well, so there is a similar interview process for expert hires. We do have an additional technical exercise that varies based on your role. We typically prefer pair programming over whiteboarding, we hope it's reflective of what it's like to work in our teams and we hope it's also an enjoyable experience for candidates!

Publish the code, or activate/enable/fund/start/whatever to instantiate the activity.

If you just publish it github - thats probably a good defense (linux T isn't to blame for all bad things that ran on linux).

If you publish a smart contract in a way that enables people to start using it, then that may not be covered. While its different than actively running an API/Service that needs continuous/paid hosting, its probably a grey area at best.
> This is a lot like the programmer tendency to want to re-write instead of refactor because to understand a system is way harder than to set out on a quest to build a new one.

And what if they did want to refactor the existing system. Can they? What does that iteration process look like? Is the system currently evolving to fit everyone’s needs?

Remember, RMS actually did want to refactor the printer. He just wasn’t allowed to. [0]

Contrast that with how fast things are moving in DeFi. It’s permissionless innovation at its best and worst. We can barely even wrap our heads around OHM, but nobody needs permission to fork it into SPELL. Systemic refactors happen faster. [1]

When somebody in the future doesn’t like a piece of decentralized infrastructure, they can _literally_ fork all of it and just make their change. With fewer black-boxes, we share more intellectual property.

This isn’t that surprising a development for the UK. You can think of it as a philosophically consistent extension of the UK interpretation of libel.

“In American courts, the burden of proof rests with the person who brings a claim of libel. In British courts, the author or journalist has the burden of proof, and typically loses.”

If you live in a country where the government mismanages the economy or the currency, Bitcoin is not a great choice. What most people use in that situation is just a different national currency.

>The surveys showing people think “autopilot” means “can drive itself” were fatally flawed, in that they were done with non-Tesla owners.

Reality check: There are videos shown Tesla drivers sleeping in the car, or using the car from the back sit, so we have proof that a subset of Tesla users are using autopilot as "it drives itself and only laws forced Tesla to add those warnings". This videos are reality, no conspiracy, no subjectivity, no fake stats... some idiots are believing the marketing and some other idiots are still defending that marketing.
Yeah this is true. Probably the level of discourse was never really that good, especially for non-technical threads. I suppose it’s just become more apparent to me.
Climate Scientists Expect Catastrophic Levels of Heating and Damage Soon
Definitely have to be cautious when doing business on Craigslist but earlier this year I did do a $200 transfer to someone I never met in hopes they were legitimate. The guy was legit and sent the item immediately and it showed up 4 days later. I then went to my motorcycle group and let them know he had a few more of the parts left and several other people bought from him off my reference all with no issues. I had good luck but I sure see how easy it could be to scam someone. Offer something hard to get at a reasonable price and wait for someone who doesn’t want to miss something next to impossible to get so will chance it.
Oh! This sounds like something I wanted to do. Mostly to see if you can actually get decent GUI speed on the Pinephone.

Will slightly disagree on the cash thing.
absolutely US uses more credit/debit cards, but for paying at Kiraana shops, basic restaurants, other shops, a decent portion of India’s middle pay with QR focused apps such payTM. At least in Pune, Bangalore, etc.

It’s more cash than US but more China (in some cities) like in terms of mobile payments.
