I don't know how strong AeroGraphene might be, but is it a reasonable approximation to say that these are like a sponge and the way they get less dense is to have more larger voids and less solid matter; that is, the lighter they are, the weaker they are?

AeroGel.org says: "Aerogels can usually hold a gently applied load of up to 2,000 times their weight and sometimes more. But since aerogels are so low in density, it doesn’t take much force to achieve a pressure concentration equivalent to 2,000 times the material’s weight at a given point. The amount of pressure required to crush most aerogels with your fingers is about what it would take to crush a piece of Cap’n Crunch® cereal." - https://www.aerogel.org/?p=3 (it goes on to say Aerogels differ in strength, but most can be made stronger by making them denser and heavier).

I have seen a suggestion, probably in a HN submission, that remaking classic Zeppelin design but replacing the duralumin structure, metal tensioning wires, coated cloth outer shell, and animal guts lift bags with modern carbon fibre, kevlar, and foils could knock 80-90% off their mass. What is all the structure in a Zeppelin doing, why can't they be shaped like hot-air balloons?
So they're looking at frequency drift and IQ network phase mismatch.

The frequency of a device will drift over time, no matter how hard to try not to let it happen.

The IQ mismatch could be tweaked if it turned out to be an actual problem.

Together, these are about as unique as noting your temperature, and the length of your hair.

It's interesting to be able to track a single device in a room, for a while, until conditions drift. It's not something to panic about, in my opinion.
nice, impossible to know!
Do you have a better one you use instead to gauge inflation?
> The pattern also puts an additional burden on the database. Therefore, we should consider the potential performance hit on the database

Massive understatement, one of the downsides that we've found with this pattern is the increase increase in binlog size for our database replication topology. One must be very careful with this pattern as to not create downstream issues with replication delay and such.

If taking advantage of this pattern in MySQL land, you should look into filtered replication to avoid this outbox table from being copied to every single replica. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/change-replication-f...
Red Hat forced to hire cheaper, less senior engineers amid budget freeze
They didn’t announce prices, and is estimated they’re shooting for it being $200. What do you expect them to shake up?
I was just going for the upper bound, assuming someone who lucks out right out of college and retires on a 401k-only strategy at exactly the 55.

Knowing the upper bound is interesting to me because most people in the US don't max out their 401k and are probably not getting employer match, so their retirement story is probably not going to be anywhere near that.

Meanwhile in tech (in the US), people's out of college starting salary and internships is often above this. That's a helpful comparison point - say if you want to check your privilege. Or if you're a tech worker making >120k/y and you've been saving for retirement using only your 401k, well, that'd tell you it's probably not going to be enough to finance your lifestyle expectations.
This is potentially being eliminated (under some circumstances) by the current reconciliation bill.
and yet we are to believe the official propaganda numbers of "5% inflation".

If even remotely true this will cause way more death than 10 COVIDs combined.
They are. See section (g)(4) of:

Everything, including the rounding to a multiple of $500, is specified in the law.
I hate that Apple forces bluetooth and wifi on each day. I wish I could just turn it off and leave it off. Though the article did mention some phones still emit a distinct signal even with the bluetooth off. This is why I am still considering jailbreaking. I have not done it in a while but every once in a while am reminded that Apple really wants to lock down this device I bought. I would like to just have my phone do what I want. If I was jailbroken I could use RealCC and turn wifi and bluetooth off permanently not just for 24 hours.
It's not unprecedented. I worked at Best Buy when I was in high school and college (2005-2009). They offered 401K to part-time employees. When my mom found out they offered that (with matching) she basically told me I'd be a fool not to do it, so I did.

When I left, I had only saved about $2,500. I rolled it into an IRA, where I've watched it grow significantly in the last 12 years.
I've long been curious, are there places that do a 200% match to hit this? That would be super appealing to me as a prospective employee.
This may go away soon with current legislative conversations.

Apple is not about giving you options. Either you go the Apple way or you leave the ecosystem entirely, and except for the very beginning when Steve Wozniak still had some influence, Apple has always been like that.

It has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is obvious: few options. But the advantage is that they can make a consistent ecosystem, with sensible choices, and not dragged down by compatibility issues. It "just works". Not my thing but I totally understand those who love Apple.

The way you do recovery with Apple is via Time Machine backups, use that.

Desktop Linux is the opposite, lots of options, but perhaps because of it, it doesn't have the same polish as Apple, and even Microsoft products, or, using your words "it is annoying".

If your employer offers a match in their 401(k) plan, it's generally better to contribute as much as possible, at least until you maximize the match.

Keep in mind that the limits can only increase by $500 increments. $6500 / $6000 ~= 1.083, which is still a larger fraction than $20500 / $19500 ~= 1.051.

Eh, the world is complex and people need to simplify and put things in boxes (even if they don’t fit perfectly) in order to understand, classify, and communicate effectively.

There ARE folks who are clearly narcissists, and having met one? God damn.

It is very true that it is overused and ‘trendy’ right now to label folks that are a pain in the ass or that people don’t like that way, which is unfortunate. Doesn’t mean they don’t actually exist though.

There ARE folks that fundamentally don’t work the way most people think people work, and that have (and which will continue to) cause sometimes catastrophic damage to themselves or others. Many of those folks can be fit into specific named boxes. Some cannot. If you consider that a dark secret or not is up to you.

>Research on adult individuals with aphasia has demonstrated that math, theory of mind, and many other cognitive abilities are independent from language.4 Patients with severe language impairments perform comparably to the rest of us when *asked* to complete arithmetic tasks, reason about people’s intentions, determine physical causes of actions, or decide whether a drawing depicts a real-life event.

Ok something is weird here. How were they *asked* to do these things if they have no language skills. Is the author brushing over the fact that they still had language skills, but they were not as good as they used to be? In which case all her conclusions about what we can do without any language skills are irrelevant as they don't apply, which would explain why she brushes over this point, I guess.

I am late 30s and have been maxing out a 401k since my early 20s, rolling it out to an IRA when separating from the sponsor firm (have worked in tech since ~18). An extended family member taught me the value of pre tax compounding and living below my means.
Can't let the middle-class get too uppity with things like financial security, now can we?
Well that would explain it. Is there any reason they can only do it in $500 increments? That's a weirdly arbitrary rule when money is in fact deliberately designed to be divisible.
I wish I could take the time to analyze findings and correlate; could this be due to a period of fundings reaching a peak many years ago?

I recall there was a time it seemed a lot of celebrities were suddenly dying and there was an article that came out pointing that many of them simply belonged to an era of media growth (or something along those lines). So they were all roughly from the same age group and were well… For lack of a better way to put it, reaching their expected age range of demise together.

I recall that years back when I was in uni, the software funding market was becoming super active and people were predicting (and denying) a bubble back then. This was in the 2008 to 2012 time period I think. Are we just seeing a lot of these companies now all “graduating” together? It feels like it matches the timeline of around 10-12 years or so which is when they might be expected to IPO?

PS: I feel like a lot of what I said is based on vague memories of things I’ve read over the years so I apologize if any of that is untrue.
I don't think all of them are done shoddily, but the US has the most powerful military, so they must be at least less bad, after all a lot of powerful military vehicles were contracted like the SR-71.
I'm curious to see where you see the odd angles. When I zoom in sufficiently all the shapes seem to resolve to segments of 90 and 45 degree angles.
There is a recency bias.

But there's also an absolutely undeniable acceleration in physical and other quantifiable bases (knowledge, understanding, population, global impacts, energy utilisation, raw materials consumption, pollution) through time.

For Earth, the very rapid emergence of life (within the first few hundred million years), and then the lack of extensive complexity emerging for another 3 billion years, until the Cambrian explosion, is especially notable.

Looking from the present backwards, what strikes me isn't that "the singularity" hasn't happened, but that we've seen multiple singularities, building on one another (with occasional back-tracking).
59.5 is the age you can pull out of your 401k without penalty. I like the exercise you did because if it doesn’t add up to something you can actually retire with then there is a big problem. But there are other big problems, most lower wage employers don’t offer 401ks because it is expensive for them to do so. So why is this a benefit only reserved for the relatively well off?
Your math seems right, but again you're neglecting the $120k cash bonus in your calculations.

>Price of A's RSU on Nov 3 2021 - $3384 * 150 = $507,600 Price of B's RSU on Nov 3 2021 - $3384 * 30 = $101,520

This is the correct price of the RSUs, but again, neglects the cash bonus. If you look at it (more correctly) through the lens of "the amount of compensation given", the price of A's RSU+bonus is $507k, and the price of B's RSU+bonus is $221k (your $101k + the $120k cash).

But! There's no reason that the $120k cash just has to stay cash forever. If you're considering the stock appreciation of the RSUs, you also have to consider the appreciation of what you can do with the cash. For example, if you're one of the Amazonians that just gets the cash bonus all paid up front, then you just take the $120k and buy 120 AMZN stocks to go along with the 30 you were granted as RSUs, and you end up with the exact same 150 stocks ($507k) at the end of 4 years. There's no difference. If you get paid the cash bonus monthly instead of up front, then you would come out a little behind since you can buy less AMZN shares as time goes on, but not as drastically as your numbers make it look.
>There are always enough hours in the day to waste answering every single instance of bullshit posted to the internet with a thoroughly researched, evidence-based point for point rebuttal that would only be buried under another layer of bullshit.

Maybe for some, but most of us have actual lives to live.

>It's the method by which we determine whether the thing is actually bullshit.

No it isn't. Science and critical thinking is the way we determine whether a thing is bullshit. Pedants on the internet are its second biggest source of entropy after Bitcoin, but at least Bitcoin eventually finds a consensus.

>But that's no reason to shut down the debate.

Once it's clear the other side has no interest in debate, only in aggressively spreading misinformation, shutting down the discourse is the only reasonable course of action.
Mega backdoor roth allows you to hit that. Might go away this year though so we will see how employers respond.
I have been a developer for eight years and yet I still get shocked about the places where Python will be used. I mean, it is my favorite language, but in the communities I gravitate towards (basically communities like HN) it has so many detractors for being dynamically typed, not being functional enough, being slow, etc, that sometimes I'm tempted to think maybe it's actually a guilty pleasure of mine, and that I should look for better pastures.

Then I read articles like this and I remember why I like it: it gets the job done, and quickly (for the developers at least). It's why it's so widely used and keeps climbing. Of course, nothing wrong with learning other languages and I do try to keep up, but Python will remain my go-to for the time being.
Jokes aside, I would be amazed if there is any correlation between the font "weight" and the compressed font size.

You know, if you to it in a pure Haskell function, you can be assured that the worst it can do is to use too many resources so it kill its own process.

What you don't do is pulling an ages old perl codebase to run over complex formats.
Randomly generated ideas are gibberish. They don't even parse as a coherent sentence.

For an idea to spread, it has to at least sound plausibly true. For it to spread to a large number of people in a forum open to public debate, it has to survive all of their attempts to convincingly refute it.

The ideas that remain in contention are the ones that can neither be proved to be highly likely nor highly unlikely. In other words, the ones whose average probability is a coin flip.

> These claims cannot both be 50% probable, because the second claim is more specific version of the first and therefore must be less likely.

We're talking about average probabilities, not individual probabilities. Suppose the probability based on available information is 75% for the first and 25% for the second. Then the average is still 50%. When you put them in a box with a thousand other ideas with probabilities centered around 50% and pull one out at random, you're still at 50%.

The things that didn't have a probability around 50%, i.e. the things that can be proved highly likely or highly unlikely, weren't in contention.

I worked in an open office for years and never understood how people did things besides work. I tried 100% remote but that got lonely.

Now that I have an office, it's like I'm living a completely different life where there's energy for meaningful activities after work. I get so much more done. The socialization is down from 2019 but there's a feeling to being in a building full of people that's different from being stuck in your house all day.

I can't imagine accepting an open plan office job again, the money would have to be life changing. I suspect cubicles would be fine.

I feel as though I ought to be familiar with the tax treatments involved, hasn’t broken my way yet. When you charitably contribute money, it’s not counted when you obtained the money (past savings, perhaps) or from what source (gains, carried interest vs regular income). So if you make 1MM in income and donate 1MM, you net out zero. That’s the code. Now suppose you have stock that’s appreciated from a $100K basis to $1MM, and instead of donating 1MM cash you donate that stock. Do you get a deduction of the $900K gain, of the full 1MM, or either 100K or zero because you never yourself realized the gain?
