Because the market is batshit insane right now. Been investing for 30 years (started right after the Savings and Loan Scandal bust in the late 80's), and the insanity dwarfs the Dot Com bubble. People who don't understand the basics of investing always joke about how it is a casino, and that was always a little true, but now it is massively true.

First a disclaimer: I am no lawyer, but I am one of the co-founders of Skribble[0], an e-signature provider from Switzerland.

I don't want to go into details but depending on which country you need your signatures to be legally binding and the type of contract you are signing, you might need a higher signature standard than the one you get from DocuSign.

At Skribble we offer all 3 signature standards defined by the European law. The lowest standard is very similar to what you get from DocuSign.

Also, at Skribble you get 2 signatures per month for free and a pay-as-you-go model for individuals.

I'd be happy if you give it a try at [1].

It's funny because those things were couching certain phenomena (chiefly, being able to imagine things and, perhaps to an extent, hallucination due to external factors) into terms compatible with the dominant beliefs of the time (magicks of all sorts) while this is somewhat couched in the ideas of rationality and science, at least "reality shifting."
> So let's say your target is €2M for a €60K/yr income until you die

> Most software engineers in Europe probably don't even make €50K/yr

These two statements do not mix well together, if someone doesn't make 50k/yr it's unrealistic to expect to retire with 60k/year.

Let's see more realistic numbers. You make 50k/yr, getting 35k after taxes. COL is around 25k, but that varies wildly; with a partner and each one's COL is lower, but with kids and it's higher. Of those 25k/yr, 15k are for rent. You save 830/month, which gives you 630k after 25y, or 25k/yr at a safe 4% withdrawal rate (gross, so not enough).

But also let's say instead of paying rent you get a mortgage at that price, so when you own the place that is reduced drastically. Suddenly you find yourself with a COL of 12-15k/yr net, making 25k/yr gross from what you've saved previously.

Sure it's tight, but these numbers are without extreme sacrifice that you mention. Get lucky and make 60-70k/yr, or find a cheaper place, or inherit something (a lot more common in EU that USA I'd think), and it now seems possible.
these calculations always include risk groups, without them it would make look vaccine much less appealing

odds of dying from COVID for vaxxed non risk groups are pretty much same as for vaxxed non risk group, 10 times zero is still a zero

nobody is denying vaccine is helping the risk groups, but there is hardly any benefit for people not at risk (healthy weight, no chronic disease)

Well it's not really green if they do it. It will have to be done worldwide.

Otherwise all the operators will fuel up to the brim at tax havens and be much heavier (and thus burn more fuel which is bad for the environment). And skimp on fueling at expensive locations and as such introduce dangerous situations (like RyanAir was already caught doing!). I think this was also the reasoning behind the no-tax thing.

They could make it mandatory for intra-europe flights for example but then the airlines will just introduce little side-hops to places like Dubai and Northern Africa for the sake of it. There just is no good solution unless the world agrees on taxation everywhere. That would have been a good point to raise at Glasgow but it was once again all form over function.

A lot depends on how gradual the onset is, esp in highly agrarian countries - like India. A gradual reduction of crop yields will lead to smaller numbers of people supportable on a given acreage = slow exodus, smaller families, like the decline of the Anasazi in the US Southwest. Perhaps DNA analysis of residual bones along with the Amerindian gene pool will reveal this?

There is a water current called the Gulf Stream - it is part of what is called the Atlantic Conveyor - the Thermohaline circulation driven by thermal AND concentration gradients. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation

This transfers huge amounts of heat from the Gulf of Mexico to Northern Europe.
This makes Northern Europe quite arable, compared to Northern Saskatchewan in Canada which is about the same latitude - with a far colder climate and shorter growing season.

This warm water wends it's way North, cools and eventually falls to the deeps as a cold counter current - see the Wiki.

Some climate scientists fear this current pattern could be getting unstable. If this is disrupted, Europe would see a new ice age, crop yields would drop, many plants would die as the ground freezing zone moved 1000 miles South. This would leave Europe unable to feed itself, save by imports of food. There may be other effects?

And then the student loan payment hits.

Graduated in 2004 (right after the dotcom crash) with $70K in debt, mostly private loans. I didn't get that usurious gorilla off my back until 2014. In hindsight I was dramatically underpaid the first 5 years, but still.

I made that financial decision at 18. First in my family to graduate college. Nobody knew better to tell me not to do that.

A lot of other people are in the same boat.
Careful predicting the rest of your life based on 2 years of the best success you’ve ever experienced. Something similar happened to me 5 years ago and I’m operating on the assumption the crazy pay can disappear at any time. If you luck into a way to suddenly retire in 5 years, always assume there’s someone standing behind you willing to do it for less. Many money faucets eventually turn off.
I'm almost 40 as well, and I've reached "senior principal engineer" within FANG.

Ignoring titles, the problem with high level engineering roles (beyond their difficulty) is finding problems that meaningfully grow you technically as you can reach a practitioner within the field. These roles are rare because most businesses don't actually need nor benefit from them.

The other challenge is that the title inflation really messes with people. For example, a key aspect of higher level engineering is not just technical but understanding organizational shit as well. For example, it's now just about execution but planning and thinking about execution in context of 50 to 1000 people.

Take the Amazon curve:
SDE I - 0
SDE II - 1 (an intern)
SDE III - 5 (a team)
SDE IV/Principal - 25 (a big team)
Senior Principal - 125 (an org)
Distinguished Engineer - the company

Using the people scale and how much you impact an organization lets you know where you are within the FANG universe (and the FANG generally are in alignment with titles and pay-bands). This represents another challenge is that being a high level engineer requires a tremendous amount of trust from management to influence everything under their empire.

What I recommend is scoping the places where the frontier is being pushed which align with what you want to work on. Second, test the waters if they have a technical hierarchy which can support you. Third, put the problem first rather than titles/comp and be willing to build trust within the organization. Influencing over 5 people requires tremendous trust.

The unfortunate aspect is that the duality of building trust can make it exceptionally rare to achieve that level. It's not a trivial level because it requires both the technical AND people skills. The only way I've seen to short-circuit it is to be absolutely a beast on the technical front, and this can be done via an open source project of exceptional merit OR building a company.
We have a similar setup in our house, but with bluetooth, mqtt(homie) and influx feeding into grafana ( cloudbbq-homie, with mijia-homie and homie-influx for the non-meat-related bits ).

I will have to tell my housemate about your setup - we have a bunch of 433mhz light switches hooked up to our system, but they're currently connected via an esp32 in a slightly ugly way. That usb dongle sounds like a much better solution to that problem.

As an aside, we are also currently using OpenHAB to make the bridge to Google Assistant when we want to trigger actions. My housemate is currently in the process of ripping it out, and replacing it with something that he's working on in rust, using axum. I would give you a link, but I can't remember what is called, and GitHub is down.
There are tonnes of reasonably priced PHEVs from other manufacturers, that are IMO great choices for people who simply want reliable, flexible cars that use very little gas. For example the PHEV versions of the Toyota RAV4, Kia Niro, Hyundai Santa Fe and Ioniq, Honda Clarity, Ford Escape, etc. Fully electric for city driving, gas when you need it for long trips, reasonably priced, from manufacturers who have been making reliable cars for decades. More practical and generally cheaper than fully electric cars.

Tesla are a luxury brand, and they know it, I think they’d have trouble competing in the more mass market/practical space. They’ll probably move there eventually, but I’m not surprised they’re sticking with their more luxury niche for now, they’re probably not yet capable of keeping costs as low as traditional car makers, while keeping quality high. They’re basically still learning how to build cars at scale.
Seriously?? I thought Avgas is still much more expensive than regular unleaded fuel.

It sure was when I flew but I'm not sure whether we were paying taxes. We bought it through the airclub but it was not a commercial club. So we probably did pay it.

But we paid something like 3,50 euro per liter and this was when regular petrol prices were 1,50 or so. I was told it's so expensive because the special production: They add dehumidifying agents against condensation etc.

I heard a lot of clubs are going for turbodiesel conversions now but the problem is that they have to be completely replaced every X years, they can't just do an engine overhaul like they can on the old Lycoming avgas engines.
In the US you should be at 4 weeks or more of vacation per year by the time you have 20 years in, plus a couple more weeks of paid holiday. No engineer gets one week per year, even their first year two is typical and it builds.

The above isn't universal. Quality of life is one thing companies compete on so the only companies that give you one week are start ups (where it is understood you are taking a risk in hopes of big payoff from your options), and game companies where the dream job gets people accept abuse.
Ah, thanks for all that, and I will try the new version of gambit. I don't remember for certain whether the looping I encountered was with the old version. It will be cool if Ribbit can become completely self-hosting.

I do know there have been some web sites (including I think HN) written in Scheme, that originally used continuations as sessions, but ended up switching away from that approach once things got more complicated. It's a cool idea though.

Ribbit reminds me of this article mentioning "Fluchtpunkt Lisps", in case you're not familiar with it: http://blog.fogus.me/2011/05/03/the-german-school-of-lisp-2/

I guess it is an example of one.

Ribbit seems more interesting to me than Sectorlisp because of the issues you mention! I'll keep playing with it. Even if I don't find direct uses for it, its implementation methods are worthy of study.

I've been wanting for a while to make a Hedgehog Lisp back end for Purescript (purescript.org). Ribbit might be another interesting target.

Added: I think the Ribbit REPL needs some kind of exception trap. Otherwise saying something like (3) crashes the whole interpreter, which is not so great for an interactive environment.

Hedgehog has built-in functional AVL trees that substitute for hash tables, arrays, and other lookup structures. They are very useful, but are an example of functional style possibly requiring more ram than imperative style where you can mutate stuff.

I'm pretty sure that the OP didn't mean literally unenforceable, but more that an NFT is no more enforceable than any other mechanism. In the end someone has to stand there and verify it and make a decision. They could use any number of methods that (may) be equally as good. In other words, why would one choose NFTs over any other method?

Anyway I don't want to get into that. I would still appreciate answers to my questions (here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29363960 ) in case someone here is feeling charitable.
wow, that STRICT thing is going to be a big deal. It's difficult enough to work with databases that have an extremely mature strong typing model (PostgreSQL - bound parameters need super-explicit typing information sent in most cases, and it's pretty unforgiving about implicit casts). A brand new one bolted onto SQLite after decades of "types as a vague suggestion" should be ...interesting! to support in downstream products (for my end, it's SQLAlchemy).
When your nurse practitioner gives you medical advice do you claim you're just as much a doctor as them and their degree doesn't qualify them to give medical advice? It is absurd to claim someone with a doctor in nursing doesn't have a medical degree.

They did all that but Turkey is also a powerful country and important ally.

EU can stall Turkey's admission in the EU and they did that however they also need Turkey to tackle the refugee crisis, Russia and other issues.

EU got to the brink of collapse with 1 million Syrian refugees, Turkey is hosting 5 million of them. EU and Erdogan got a deal, EU turns blind eye to some of Erdogan's stuff and Erdogan takes back all the refugees that EU sends back.

Similar agreements are in place with the USA. US lowers the heat under Erdogan and Turkey keeps the peace in Kabul. Stuff like that.
“You cannot bootstrap off an existing dataset. Full stop. These datasets can contain implicit assumptions or associations that you are not aware of. This is the original sin of many a algorithmic risk underwriting startup”

False. You can definitely bootstrap and adjust the model as you either gather more data yourself or get more outside data. You can also build confidence intervals around the model predictions and decide how you want to proceed based on that. There is lots you can do with that initial model.
I don’t think this really supports the original claim.

There's a hole or oversight in `Arc`'s API in this regard, annoyingly. The function you're looking for would be something like

pub fn get_mut_pinned(this: &mut Pin<Arc<T>>) -> Option<Pin<&mut T>>

, which for pinning-aware values should give you enough mutability and for `T: Unpin` can give you `Option<&mut T>` through `Option::as_deref_mut`.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen any `Arc` implementations that actually provide it, since almost none of the third-party ones are pinning-aware. (My `tiptoe::Arc`'s `get_mut` has this signature, but that's a specialty container with additional requirements for the contained value.)

The same goes for `make_mut_pinned`, that's missing too (but to be fair would be much less useful, since pinning and `Clone` don't often mix that well).
Yeah, but game development is hard, and I can never keep the momentum going long enough to actually finish something.
The big change is a shift towards declarative UI where the UI is a pure function of the state, avoiding mutations. That’s how React, Vue, Svelte and Flutter works for example. Very different from MFC on Windows or Gtk.

> It's absurd to think any sincere, and representative, member of the environmental movement

This is a powerful no-true-scotsman here. In my experience, the vast majority of people espousing technical solutions to climate change are barely aware of trade-offs if they've considered them at all. Externalized costs are primarily talked about as those imposed by fossil fuels etc. The costs imposed by environmental action itself are not so commonly considered.

> This is pinning all the woes of a particular marginalized group on the environmental movement...

The article simply pointing out that environmentalists aren't really helping here. Increased demand for cobalt and coltan is extremely harmful to certain groups of people who don't have a particularly loud voice in any segment of the environmental movement or the renewable energy industry. No one kills over rocks that have no value. By driving the demand for these minerals, unrest is increased in this region.

It's kinda silly to assume ~all~ environmentalists are fighting for these groups of people when the interests of many segments of the environmental movement are directly opposed to them and the article itself provides examples of environmental groups attacking them. The world is not black-and-white. People with good intentions can harm others.

I don't particularly like language criticisms, but word for word I think there is a lot more meat in your original comment than in this article.

I decided early on to stay on the technical track. I had mentors who sampled the management waters and explained the pros and cons. For me, a long-term technical track was the better choice.

If you stay technical, work on 'building the brand' and team-building skills. You can't be the 'super tech' worth the huge paycheck-- nobody is that good. Period. It's the team builders that get big things done.

So write some Call for Papers submissions, work on giving great technical presentations, and look for any way to add value to your projects. (Many of these will involve gathering and rendering metrics. Look for valuable metrics nobody is reporting!)

Good Luck. As you grow out of the 'IC' role, you will have to find new ways to get job satisfaction. They are out there-- just different than 'working code' all the time.
