I do not have this issue, but I have a very customized about settings.

Here is the relevant about:config settings I have these changed for the URL bar:

browser.urlbar.suggest.searches false
browser.urlbar.searchSuggestionsChoice false
browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst false

Also for your urlbar you want to change it so it always shows the scheme and every part of the URL.

browser.urlbar.trimURLs false

Stop Firefox trying to help with incomplete urls and loading the wrong site:

browser.fixup.alternate.enabled false

Setting the above about:config entries should stop URLS you type being sent to a search engine and also stop some other surprises in the URL bar.
> This requires introducing a right-handed partner for each known (left-handed) neutrino, which some people don't like because right-handed particles don't partake in weak interactions, and weak interactions are the only (known) neutrino interactions (apart from gravity), so you end up with undetectable particles.

For anyone else wondering: yes, this does make said right-handed (aka sterile) neutrinos a candidate for dark matter, assuming some of them are much heavier than their left-handed counter parts to account for the 'cold' properties of dark matter that we observe.
I think this is pretty valid, but I'd couch this in terms of citizens vs non-citizens. I knew and/or interacted with a lot of working-class/poor citizens and life seemed better for them there than in many countries. There are policies and universal safety nets that make it happen, with regard to housing, jobs, medical care, etc. For poor or working-class non-citizens, it's probably much bleaker.

About getting 500+ rates, in my experience, it is bubbles.

You’re in bubble A, totally by coincidence, where you and other contractors are doing say 300 a day rates. Hard to change because that’s going to be the expectancy within that bubble. Higher rates will stand out and descisionmakers will think lower is normal.

Bubble B happens to have 800 a day, work will be equal, not harder, not easier, just in this bubble, it’s that rate.. same psychology for outliers applies.

Started in 400 a day bubbles, currently working in 900 a day bubble, worked for a couple of years in 1800 a day bubble..

Psychology of normal expectancy bubbles all the way down..
That's an interesting way to look at it, but I take an issue here

> How free you are is then expressed as a graph of all possible actions you may take which are not prohibited by the threat of legitimate violence

It's a good point to think in terms of possible actions you may take. But violence isn't the only thing that can prune that graph.

Say I come across an orchard surrounded by an [unclimbable] fence. I want to eat some fruit in the orchard, but cannot because of the fence. There is no violence I face that prevents my action, and no violence I can level to take the action. Yet my action is prohibited by another, and thus my freedom limited.
But you're saying they can't use this marker to make a pre-infection prediction, and they're saying it's possible.
A little pedantic but I want to fix something. I noticed in the first sentence that he states Von Nuemann died of bone cancer. This is incorrect. His cancer was first found in his collarbone, and it was a metastatic lesion. They biopsied it and various sources I've read have stated the primary cancer was pancreatic or prostate. This means that it would have been an undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. This means the cancer has evolved to the point where you can recognize some aspects of it, but it has shed a lot of the characteristics of its cell of origin. It could also have been a cholangiocarcinoma or possible gastric cancer, hepatic, etc...

The term bone cancer refers to things like osteosarcomas, these usually occur in children.

Not trying to say the rest of the article is bad, but when I see something like this I want to point it out.

Previous biographies I've read have always reported pancreatic cancer, which is what I was going to originally type, but according to wikipedia there are some different sources listed.

> If the question is not compelling enough to get a reply, you have failed to get the information you want, and your efforts have been wasted.

But I'm not going to shop and edit a question to make it extra compelling. It gets answered or it doesn't. Depending on the forum's rules I might be fine bumping it later to get some extra attention later.

I'm also not going to spend more time than necessary to write some post talking about something. I might want to start some type of conversation but again I either get a conversation or I don't.

I'm not going to make a post "more compelling". I get replies or I don't. I have no personal identity tied up in the process. I might want to have a conversation but little is lost if I don't have one.
Aren't the immune-compromised supposed to avoid pretty much all vaccines? Because the mechanism of a "vaccine" depends on the immune system reacting to it? and thus these people cannot be expected to have the proper, expected reaction to a vaccine?
I think the backdrop that's allowing cryptocurrency to flourish is rising state failure, globally, even in nations that we previously considered relatively stable & developed. People have a gut sense that the state can't protect them from the challenges that the next decade will bring, whether climate change, mass migrations, terrorism & extremism, inflation, a demographic bulge of young adults. They're looking for solutions that they personally can do in case the state either dissolves or becomes a hostile entity.

I think it's very likely that governments will outlaw cryptocurrency. But I also think it's likely that an increasingly larger portion of the global population is going to exist outside the law and outside the state. The government will say "Cryptocurrency is against the law", and a large fraction of people will say (quietly, unless they're stupid) "We don't care, because the alternatives you provide us are not working." Cryptocurrency is invaluable in that context, in providing a financial layer that does not require the state's power to enforce contracts.
>(As to safety… for a country with strict laws, all police still had body armor, I saw patrols of 4-5 guys all with handguns and usually two with MP5 submachine guns walking around different places, and thought it was interesting to see posters along the stations that warned you should be prepared for terrorism including where to go and how to cut off bleeding.

> Working a $150K job for 7 years isn’t really a recipe for getting “wealthy”

It definitely is if you live in a LCOL area of an EU country. The author mentions he's Italian. So he gets health care and shit for free while being based in a country where it's very easy to live cheaply if you stay out of the big cities.

Definitely possible to save a ton of money while living well in those conditions.
Thanks for bringing this up! It's definitely something that is on our radar. We're looking into improving the experience with frameworks, and Next is one of them!
To me, "wealthy" means you can stop working at any time and maintain your desired lifestyle without worrying about money.

Doesn't mean that you have to, but having that freedom of choice is huge.
I've never felt particularly watched in Singapore. Perhaps more so in London.
He had it for about 4 years I think. Also he does not manage the money. Somebody else does it for him.
Another possibility: a malware bot registered a lot of accounts using the same “random” password.
Just adding to your point:

Not only do millions of people raise families on $40k, they also do so while still living in NYC, SF, Seattle, and other expensive cities.
I'd absolutely believe that. A bigger contributing factor was that our Perl site was launching a process that parsed some libraries and then served HTML. While the php site was using a server extension that kept a parent process running and just spawned a thread for page requests.

Again, don't judge me - I was very, very young. :-)
Contracts are a PITA! If you can write one, once, probably based on a completely standard template and then never talk to a lawyer, sign a transfer of ownership, worry about where that ownership info is stored and updating the information when it changes, etc. because the initial contract deferred all that to the owner of the NFT which can be bought and sold with a couple of clicks, I’d call that a massive improvement! Even if a contract is still needed somewhere, the friction is gone.

I don't think most coins will go to zero at some point, some will, but most is too broad.

I also don't see any reason why new coins wouldn't keep getting created. Basically, what's been happening will continue. This is what I see.

You can diversify in crypto, but you have to educate yourself and pick and choose. For example, you could diversify into payment systems, metaverse tokens, smart contract platforms, oracles, prediction markets, cross-chain interoperability, DeFi, NFTs, etc. There aren't as well defined categories as in equities, but there are some ways to categorize them.

Are there equivalent protections like in equities? No. Is crypto as mature of a market? No. Is crypto high risk? Yes. However, cryptocurriences, or at least specific ones, like Bitcoin, are increasingly being considered an asset class [1].

I assume this is just their thin-edge product. Gotta start somewhere, and it may as well be carving out a new niche.
Furthermore, I don't see any allowance for the time needed to get those contracts, take care of business stuff, etc. To say nothing of downtime when a perfectly-timed new contract just doesn't come along. Maybe it's possible in the current climate but it's not the norm.
One of the ways I try to think about is asking myself if I feel like my job is bullshit.

I currently work for an extremely large multi-national company on a really mundane sounding use case with a pretty vanilla Data stack. What we build has direct impact to our customers. That means that we can map what we are building to our customer experience, which means we need to understand the impact of what we make and use that to balance the various Engineering tradeoffs. I don't feel like I'm doing bullshit work.

I had another job cool sounding job with all sorts of buzzwords, including "AI." When I told people the use cases we were looking at and who I reported to, everybody thought I was doing some amazing stuff. Literally 90% of my work was chasing down BS ideas from VPs who seemed to want to find more complex ways of justifying their decisions. That job was the coolest sounding job I had and was 100% bullshit because nothing I was doing had any real impact on anything.

Bullshit work is not interesting, no matter how cool sounding it is.
This looks to me like an open invitation to be attacked, banks don't use to describe openly the technologies or methodologies they use for good reasons and Monzo has been quite open about these matters for a long time (Go use for instance), they're doing pretty good though and probably as traditional banks are using quite old technologies they seem to be into a far less vulnerable position than traditional banking.

> You could get up to 10% on 1M investment annually (that is what my friend has)

We have a hundred years of investment data in the United States that says this isn’t true.

A 10% withdrawal rate will lead to portfolio failure 50% of the time after about 14 years. You can calculate using historical data here: https://engaging-data.com/will-money-last-retire-early/

There are mountains of research showing the safe withdrawal rate for retirement is around 3.5-4%. A million dollars gets you $40K per year at most, not $100K per year.

Anyone expecting to live off of $100K/year with only $1m invested is in trouble in about a decade, even if they could get a mythical reliable 10% return.

Note that due to inflation and downturns, you cannot withdraw an amount equal to the interest you earn. You have to withdraw significantly less than the interest you accumulate.
Keeping an eye on your spending is great, but you can equally do that with credit; it's easy to look at or download transactions in your credit card app or website. Unless of course you don't trust yourself not to overspend, in which case my point stands.

You are aware that interest rates have been incredibly low for years? They have to go up to keep a lid on inflation, and the BoE needs to be able to do that without worrying about mortgage borrowers being overstretched.
If you make APIs like this integral to your business, how do you manage the risk of the API suddenly not being available one day?

As an example, at work we had integrated with a service to provide functionality a lot of our customers relied heavily on. One day the company behind the service got bought and the new owners stopped offering it as a service, using it only in-house instead.

Replacements were not as good and all had very different APIs, so a simple switch was out of the question. It's been over a year and we're still working on a good replacement.

For me I tend to fall down on self-hosting as much as I can of critical infrastructure, but obviously that's not a choice for something like OpenAI here.
To add another data point:
I'm a contractor in the London charging day rates from 300 GBP (in the beginning) to 1100 GBP (today) over the past eight years. Net worth has just crept into the seven-figure GBP range with profits being mostly invested in global equities ETFs.

> I've never feared being out in Singapore, even at 4am at night, in any part of the city.

You might have never been in fear, but were you ever stoked? And I mean genuinely socially stoked, not the monetary excitement after winning at the casino.

Violence is a big predictor of strong sentiments among the populace.

If you don't risk taking punches and kicks, you'll hardly get the reward of hugs and kisses.

Social volatilty gives socially competent people a good opportunity to capitalize on their competence. Nowhere is this ever more clear than places like Brazil, Nigeria, South Africa, Mexico...

A socially competent person will make friends and romantic relationships as soon as they get off the plane.

A socially incompetent person will get robbed and risk mugging, again as soon as they get off the plane.

The so called dangerous places are also the fun places.
> Helps two fold, with lawsuits against the bus company

I think the most succinct way to describe the US to an outsider, in a way that will help them understand or explain most of the behaviors that may seem odd, is that everyone's #1 goal all the time is to avoid ever taking the blame for anything, supported by a #2 goal of finding someone else to blame. In an ideal situation, things are arranged such that no one may be blamed.

> 2. No multiple package versions. If there is a version conflict between transitive dependencies of a package because of semver, you should not be able to install that package.

I am grateful Rust allows this unlike C++ or Python. While I ideally minimize repeat dependencies, it is a big help to not be constrained to only on version. We've already had cases in Rust where some people were overly restrictive on dependency declarations (since Rust does block some versions as too similar) and it has caused a bit of pain.
Because post-colonial powers ensure that friendly (to them) people are in power that doesn't even dream of attempting it. And if that fails, they can also bomb or bring in a dictatorship.

> Hacker News has one of the worst groupthink cases in tech, where if you speak against various core beliefs you get absolutely hammered with trolls both on the site and off of it.

Aside from PHP, can you think of any other topics that can be problematic in this regard? So far i haven't personally run into any that would get me disproportionate amounts of negative votes, however i find myself curious about it. The only i could personally think of would be Perl and the discussions surrounding its history.

Perhaps i've just been lucky so far, or maybe you can tackle some of those topics by phrasing your points as questions or just pointing out that those are subjective views, instead of absolute truths, thus stimulating a discussion, rather a clash of opinions.

Personally, i think that sites like Habr or some Reddit communities could be more biased as far as discussions about topics go, due to the specialization present (e.g. a blockchain centric subreddit might not be receptive of criticism, even if constructive), however i've also heard similar things about Team Blind, whereas my HN experience has generally been fairly pleasant.

> and I've been "cancelled" by various groups of aquaintences over having opinions or failing to have opinions that the group demanded.

Lost a job? Lost housing? Lost income? Were you "cancelled" or did various groups of acquaintances simply decide they didn't enjoy your company and that feeling led to a gradual (or maybe not so gradual) falling away of contact and interaction?

I'm not for one moment suggesting that you should have different opinions. But in general people have both:

1. opinions
2. preferences on how and when opinions are expressed
3. preferences for the company of people who don't violate (2)

If you and your various (past) groups of acquaintances really didn't agree on (1), then it's maybe entirely natural that over time, you'd no longer be a part of those groups. And if you disagreed about (2), then it's more than just natural, it's inevitable.

I have friends with whom I do not agree on a number of things, but they tend to be things that we don't need to talk about much, if ever. If either of us ever pushed their point in these domains, I suspect we would fairly quickly cease to be friends.

I have some other friends (and even a few family members) where we don't agree, but we do agree about how to disagree, how to debate, how to argue, what kinds of evidential levels for our opinions are required if we are going to disagree, and how we will end discussion. In these cases, (1) is not shared but (2) is, and so these are people whose company I can still actively enjoy.

I don't want to hang out much with people who see the world very differently from me, and more importantly, people whose timing and methods of expressing their opinions are quite different than what I find appropriate. If I'm not friends with these people, I haven't "cancelled" them, we've just followed an entirely natural path towards finding groups of people we can enjoy being with.
