The article is behind a paywall so I didn't get to read the whole thing, but the little I did read suggests that Godel's accomplishment is intertwined with his mental illness. It is tempting to romanticize people's mental illness and make it out as a strength that allowed to them to accomplish great intellectual feats, but as far as all evidence goes, mental illness absolutely hinders one's mental capacity and works against it, rather than something that assists it.

Suffering from a mental illness doesn't open up a gateway that lets you see into a mysterious universe of abstract concepts and explore things that others can't... to the extent that mental illness correlates highly with certain fields like math, computer science, it's likely due to the fact that people with good social skills were historically persuaded to enter social fields where they are more likely to deal with people on a day to day basis, such as sales, law, medicine, sports, etc... so that the bulk of people remaining who do not have great social skills are left studying subjects that historically could be studied in solitude.

Things are a lot different today than they were 100 years ago. Much of physics, math, computer science is now done in large teams and is a lot more social than it used to be. The people that will be looked up to in the 22nd century will almost certainly not have suffered from a mental illness or have their accomplishment in some sense be related to their illness. They will likely be much more extroverted, social and be recognized relative to a larger team/group of people as opposed to today where we often mythologize the mathematicians who were reclusive and had "mysterious" personalities.

I imagine the next generation of great thinkers will be more along the lines of a Feynman.
Prices usually are higher in urban locations. They also make up for the higher costs to some extent through higher volume.
It depends on how much job experience your friend has (among other things already mentioned). It could range from around .1-.2% for a new grad to 1-2% for someone with 10+ years of experience in a more senior IC engineering role.

> "Special drivers"

The only mention of drivers I can find in the article is an entirely correct reference to the fact that SAS and SATA HBAs frequently require proprietary (or at least vendor-specific) drivers. I'm not aware of any 8+ port SATA HBAs that use the vendor-neutral standard AHCI interface.
I like complexity of YAML. When people choose YAML as driver for their shitty tools I'm forced to use, at least I can use YAML features to cope with this braindamage. Of course, you can go only so far with e.g. anchors.

Stop using configuration languages as programming languages and leave YAML alone as configuration language.

If you know about dangers of unsafe YAML, why don't you just replace load() with safe_load()??
I remember being surprised by the effect, and totally unsure how they pulled it off. Positioning the camera in exactly the right angle to match what the moving camera was shooting? I can't even picture it. Impressive work!

Depends upon the context and subforums, I've been a fairly active member for like... 20 years now (I am cringing as I typed that out, yikes). It's not that different from Reddit in that respect but it's much more readable for longer posts in a BB format compared to Reddit without a doubt (Reddit always struck me as a more accessible form of old Usenet posting than forums software of the 2000s). The programming and hardware conversation culture is somewhere between the dry conversation on HN and the rapid fire drive-by snark-for-pay that is the common denominator for modern Internet commentary.
interest payments from the mortgage can be directly compared with rent, but not the principle repayment portion of the mortgage.

> assuming you can put up the standard up-front capital requirements.

which is also a cost - just more difficult to imagine as a cost. This cost is called the cost of capital, and is non-zero. If you take the minimum return, which is the risk-free rate from buying treasuries, this can be considered your cost of capital for this upfront deposit. More, if you consider this capital could be invested in the markets for some risk.

It isn't always clear cut which wins out, mortgage or renting. For the past few decades, mortgages have been winning out due to declining interest rates, but that might not last.
The devils are in the details. This does not still justify current model and the steep price they are paid (by taxpayers, FYI a typical university pay millions of dollar to these institutions). Consider openreview by ICLR[1] as an counter example for your claim. The maintenance, quality control, software development is not as steep as current gatekeepers advertise yet their review quality is much higher (network/transparency effect). Not to mention the profit margin of scientific publication is 3x of the Apple (38% for Elsevier) and it should be because the science workers, works free for these institutions (fighting for credit).

The current business model as a whole is a legacy institution based on earlier monopoly by a charlatan named Maxwell [2]. He basically lured scientist by shiny hotels+extra packages to build the initial reputation and then monopolize the entire industry for decades. It's interesting how the model works by rip off the taxpayers twice (by publishing and access) while still peer-review process is free (from money, not credit).

I got my first laptop in the year 2000, it was a hand me down and weighed like three bricks but I loved it so much. In the next year I found out the high school decommissioned computer parts and started picking them up and building working machines at home.

The hardest thing in setting up a local area network at home for me was finding a router (we were poor and I couldn't just buy it). But I did get hold of a crossover cable and was able to set up a LAN running win 2k between two machines.

That made me at least as happy as watching Angelina Jolie play Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.
Starbucks will set up shop next to small cafes and offer lower prices until they've driven the other shop to close up. Once this is done, they will raise the prices back to standard.

Starbucks is a great case study because they can even afford to give away free coffee long enough to shut down any small business - they have an unbeatable advantage. Many small cafes will simply shut down and not even fight when a Starbucks pops up nearby.

It's the same with Walmart, Amazon, Google, etc - once a company becomes big enough, it's literally impossible for small business to compete. Quality suffers, and consumers don't get fair prices that come from healthy market competition. Everything is standardized at the largest scale at which the monopoly operates, so Starbucks in bumfuck, Arkansas charges the same as Manhattan or Beverly Hills. This creates vulnerabilities in the ecosystem of markets that are similar to the dangers of monocrop cultivation, with complex failure modes that endanger entire market segments.

If Starbucks fails, coffee everywhere suffers. If Microsoft fails, the long tail effects endanger western civilization. Monopolies aren't just a matter of paychecks and fairness for the little people, but are threats to the well-being of civilizations as systems and supply chains have single points of failure.

It may be desirable to cap the wealth and/or market share of a given company. Once a company achieves its legal limit, it can no longer advertise or market existing products, or something like that. This could force markets to create interoperability standards to achieve maximum roi, diversifying competition in all markets, and create better incentives for long term supply chain security. It also removes many opportunities for graft and corruption.
Lol. Gave me a good chuckle!

> If Americans shouldn’t have a say in California and Californians shouldn’t have a say in Palo Alto

"A say" in what subject? Currency used? Sales tax paid? Laws regarding civil rights? Laws regarding non-compete clauses in employment contracts?

We have a complicated legal and governing system that has worked out which subjects are covered at which levels of government. This is pretty much the same with all developed countries. Debating it in black and white terms as you present is not a very reasonable way to look at the issue.

I've had a karat interview before on behalf of Palantir and by the end of the interview I was less interested in Palantir (although thankfully I did move forward) than I was in Karat. I didn't end up looking too much into it. Do you think engineers with ~1 experience could get hired there for interviews? I am about to get promoted to SWE2 if that helps. I actually enjoy leetcode type problems and have solved over 800, so I think this would align with my interest.
That's where a lot of very high paying jobs are
Because understanding it means their housing price should go down. If they can pretend supply/demand doesn't apply, they can keep advocating NIMBY policies that increase the price of their house year after year.
If the government was restricting the supply of cars / TVs / medicine, etc, causing the prices to be high, you could make a similar argument: why not buy the older car / smaller TV / medicine with more side-effects that you can afford?

That might not be bad advice at an individual level. But it still seems more optimal to allow people to produce more supply, so more people can get what they want and/or spend less of their income to do so.

For housing people generally want access to good jobs, shorter commutes, more space, and lower cost. Those all exist on a spectrum, but more supply would allow, overall, more people to get more of those things.

From a philosophical point of view, there's the question of who has a legitimate interest in what can be built... there's the property owner, the people who own houses in the neighborhood, and the people who work there but commute. There's the people who live in the general metro area, where the overall supply/demand will affect prices.

You could even consider the people left behind by "economic geography" - as fewer people are employed in agriculture etc, there are less jobs in rural areas, and as knowledge work becomes more important more jobs are created in large cities with liquid job markets (which can support greater labor specialization).

I think there's a case to be made that all these levels have some reasonable interest in the outcome and not just the local municipal level. And particularly at the local level there may be some bad incentives - approving more housing may generate local downsides like traffic, while not moving the needle too much on prices which may be determined more by the metro area as a whole.
It did cause some price spiking, but the FOMO caused a much bigger spike and eclipsed the effects of the squeeze. Why do you think they "kicked the can down the road"? Short interest is still around 1%, down from over 100% in January. The hedge funds in question realized huge losses in Q1.

I am surprized no one me tioned we could just limit home ownership to 2-3 for individuals and lets say 20 or so for a company. The actual limits can be decided based on discussion and metrics but just having a limit, any limit could stop companies or rich assholes from buying real estate as "assets" as opposed to a place where people live. Also a limit on just holding property that is meant to be rented out. Either use it, or rent it out to someone who will use it and keep increasing the fine until they rent it out to encourage a real free market.
Or rather - spoken like an American? Outside the US, it is quite easy to cancel such subscriptions as the consumer laws are in your favour. Apple's exploitation of this lacunae in US laws is sadly being interpreted as some benevolent act from them. If the US has similar stronger consumer laws, both Apple and other companies wouldn't be able to exploit Americans.
Wait, why are we paying Apple to develop this application while we have smart people working for the country who can do it ?
Do I really have to contextualize my statements that much? Has reading comprehension on YC sunk that low? Obviously, I'm saying this in the context of things that might work; if there are, say, 12 remedies that have been shown to work for some people, and you don't know which one will for you, then narrowing down the range is not harm. We're talking about opportunity costs, not whether shooting yourself in the head is a bad thing or not.
There have been various ideas about putting decoding instruction in human-readable format at the beginning of the media so that people in the future could use a simple magnifying glass to read the info that would allow them to build a device to read the rest of the data.

Even though a lot of FAANG (or MANGA) companies are in need of tech talent, good luck getting in unless you have some serious time to allocate to studying Leetcode problems.

Yeah, it's weird. If building more housing will cause the value of their neighborhoods to skyrocket, why not do it and make a killing? Are we to believe that their deep sentimentality about neighborhood character overrides any consideration of the supposedly massive amounts of cash on the table?

> Anyone who relies on revolving business debt, credit card debt, or other non-fixed-rate debt goes bankrupt.

This is hyperbole. Rising interest rates aren't fun, but they aren't cataclysmic. Rates have gone up and down for decades. Further, if you signal that you're taking the option to raise rates off the table, risk tolerance and asset prices will explode (some would say this has already happened due to Fed signaling).
I think it is more complex than that. There are certain traits – for example, obsessiveness – which can manifest in different ways. If one can point one's obsessiveness in a socially useful direction, sometimes one can achieve great things with it. If instead it points in a deleterious direction, it can become rather disabling, and one may even end up with some sort of diagnosis as a result. Some people find it easier to control the direction their obsessiveness points in than others; to some extent, differences in that ability may be innate (genetic/etc); to some extent, it may be influenced by environment, upbringing, culture, social situation, opportunities, etc; to some extent, it is probably just good or bad luck, random chance. The difference between the person who achieves a lot and the person who is disabled by mental illness may be smaller than you think–they may both be people with unusually high obsessiveness (and various other traits besides), just representing two different outcomes that extreme can lead to. And of course, sometimes the same outcomes occur in the same person – at some times, a person may be able to direct their obsessiveness in the direction that enables them to achieve things; at other times in their life, they may lack that ability and be quite disabled by it.
Rent is easily comparable to a mortgage, my old rent is $3750, my new “rent” including property taxes is $3040.
I’m all in favour, as a user, for Apple IAP subscriptions. But shouldn’t “the market” be able to send a signal that they prefer that?

Shouldn’t Apple’s IAP actually be able to compete on its merits (like the better experience that we both prefer!) rather than arbitrary platform lock-in?

If, faced with actual competition, users and/or developers do not chose Apple IAP, wouldn’t this signal to Apple that they need to do better and improve their service?

Understood, but to your point, if a city needs unskilled labor to survive it shouldn’t work directly against it.
I am curious how this plays out from an antitrust and insider trading point of view. Apple could potentially use it's massive marketing budgeting to "determine the winner" in a specific market, after buying some stock in said company, (or just having good business arrangement with them).

What's not accounted for is decreasing EROI on mining the minerals needed to construct panels and the fact that the average lifespan of a panel is 2-3 decades (and the efficiency decreases with age) and then what? We have no recycling solutions in place. The amount of energy it would take to actually fully recycle these panels throws a big wrench in that calculation. We're already in the midst of a solar waste crisis and it's about to magnify significantly as these panels start dying out

And then of course there's the massive cost of batteries and all the mining and recycling issues associated with that

And what about the amount of space they take up relative to other energy sources? What about the costs of cleaning up all the lead and cadmium that leak into the environment?
Tell me you're under 30 without telling me you're under 30.
One comment on this is that less dense areas make it very hard to build infrastructure. For example, if there are 10 families living on a mile stretch of road, think of how much it costs to build a mile of road, along with (possibly) water and sewer there. And then the annual maintenance cost. And then the other road networks require to connect that one road, etc.

Those 10 families don’t pay nearly enough in taxes to cover the cost of infrastructure maintenance. It relies on grants from state and federal governments, paid for by taxes in dense cities, to cover the expense.

My point: sparse is not objectively better. I think the quality of life we have come to expect in suburbs and rural areas is not possible without the taxes gained from also having dense places.
