> Investors have poured almost $900 billion into equity exchange-traded and long-only funds in 2021

For context, the total market cap of the companies in the S&P 500 is around $39 trillion. So this is a decent sized inflow, but not as crazy as the headline makes it sound.

Sure.

I don't mind taking a 0.5% risk to avoid 1% of my life spent in lockdown.

Neither does my mother or grandmother.

It is not an axiom that an increase in death rates at the population level is bad, because people are willing to put their lives at a small risk in order to preserve some semblance of meaning in them.

This is a point lost on essentially every lockdown proponent as far as I can tell. They are fundamentally unwilling to accept differing value systems and seek to enforce theirs.
I'm not sure how any of these books have anything to do with actual career advancement. Career trajectory improvements are generally catalyzed by high-risk business decisions (e.g. doing a startup, joining as an early employee, job hopping, etc.), or political posturing (e.g. getting promoted, gaming the stack ranking, aggressive negotiations, etc.). Being a good engineer doesn't really have anything to do with either. You have plenty of baseline engineers both starting companies and getting promoted over the studious "10x engineers."

Take the 37signals Remote book, for example: as a run-of-the-mill engineer, you quite literally have no say in what the work/office culture of your employer is. Unless you're (at a bare minimum) a VP, no one cares what your opinion is, as you have zero political capital. I don't want to be too negative, so here are some books I would suggest:

The 48 Laws of Power
Outliers: The Story of Success
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
How to Win Friends & Influence People

It does allow account and comment deletion, just not on a self-service basis. You can always ask dang if you need something gone, but HN tries to avoid the comment rot that for example Reddit has (where there are massive threads of [deleted] or "erased by GreaseMonkey", usually wiping out context or, worse, actual solutions).
Yep, .DS_Store files have nothing to do with resource forks.

Resource forks are a filesystem feature (well forks are a filesystem feature and resource forks are an application of that feature). AppleDouble is a way of storing the information that would be in resource forks on filesystems that don't provide forks or similar functionality.

According to the docs, looks like the ANY type in a strict table might do that:

> In a STRICT table, a column of type ANY always preserves the data exactly as it is received. For an ordinary non-strict table, a column of type ANY will attempt to convert strings that look like numbers into a numeric value, and if successful will store the numeric value rather than the original string

There's still much less data types than in most SQL databases though, e.g. float4, boolean, timestamp etc are missing.

I think you can ask anyone working with threat intel about this. Nigeria has the least sophisticated cybercriminals in the world, they're very prolific but the tooling they use is hilariously bad.

I'm sure there are some exceptions, but those would probably be smart enough to conceal where they came from.

This isn't really surprising. Obviously Nigerian cybercriminals will be less sophisticated than the Russians for example, just look at their schools!

Worth noting that net ETF inflow goes negative as investors withdraw from the stock market, so the past 19 years cited in this article includes both periods of net inflows and periods of net outflows.

The article notes that the most recent week saw a net outflow from the stock market:

> One possible sign of skittishness: investors have pulled money from stock funds only twice this year, and the second time was in the past week. Equity funds had $2.7 billion outflows in the week through Nov. 23, according to BofA.

Also important to note that this is largely a product of low interest rates, not just stimulus money as many are suggesting. The stock market becomes the investment location of choice as low interest rates make bonds and money market unattractive. Article mentions this at the very bottom:

> The amount of money moving into the stock market dwarfed anything else this year. Bond funds attracted just $496 billion and money market funds received about $260 billion.

Everyone thinking about the Tesla valuation is aware markets look to the future :)

Even then - your statement is simplistic - the future cashflows are discounted back to today. As an example, if their revenue is $1 trillion (assume no inflation for simplicity) in 50 years, and we assume 10% net income margin (probably in the ballpark of reasonable) they make $100 bill which is discounted 50 years to today at maybe 8% (?), that year's earnings is worth around $2 billion today.

You may reasonably counter that they will grow much faster than that - and this is where people (like me) question it. The total industry is ~$3 trillion or so, globally. 85 million units. Telsa will hit maybe 900k units this year. So its a tough sell that they'll get to 25-30 mill units anytime soon (from a demand or supply side).

Don't get me wrong - Tesla is brilliant, Elon is brilliant. It doesn't mean the company is worth infinity. There is some concrete number which makes sense... and to many folks, 1 trillion is an order of magnitude too high.

I’ve read The Pragmatic Programmer. It’s not a bad book - I was nodding along the whole way. And that’s sort of the problem with the books of this genre. The thing is, I recognize that these are good techniques because I already spent lots of time applying them. I just don’t know if the idea of compressing years of hands on experience into a textbook works well in practice. This goes for most self-help books as well.

I don't think you meant this to be as absolute as it sounds, but as someone currently reading it, I find the asides, especially ones that focus on the nuances of a word's definition, such as "atomic", "consistent", etc. to be tedious while simultaneously lacking in clarity. I hope if Kleppmann ever does a 2nd edition that strips out some of this stuff and adds more examples, because most of his sales are probably from people like me who are job searching but lack distributed system design chops.

Technically hard isn't the only kind of hard. This is one of those spaces where a lot of people have a lot of complicated processes, and they will be pissed if you don't support their particular approaches. Writing the code wouldn't scare me off this market, but the work to discover the full extent of the domain and the user needs would sure give me pause.

Seems a bit of a moot point, though, as I'd expect most customers here see this as something they want to just work without problems, so they'll be heavily biased toward known major brands. It's sort of like the space for cloud computing in that way. Usually, my most important criterion for a cloud vendor is that their shit will stay up forever, because my whole goal is to not think about a bunch of things.

Silicon Valley has a regular, predictable, very tedious pair of arrogances when it comes to things like this.

1. "We are as gods in the synthetic world of the internet, because we know Code. Therefore we must be like gods in the external, physical world!" It's perpetually on display, and Tesla is an amazing case study here. After deriding those dinosaur, idiot, legacy automakers for their horridly slow, glacial, obsolete factories that mixed humans with robots on the assembly line, instead of being purely robot based and running at sonic velocities... the Model 3 and such are produced on something that's virtually indistinguishable from those "dinosaur" lines. GM, Honda, Toyota... they've all been trying for the "lights out dreadnaught" car factory since the 80s, and have all concluded that it simply doesn't work. It's cheaper, faster, and more reliable to have humans in the loop, and run the line at their pace, than to solve the problems that increasingly look like "full general purpose AI."

2. "A human visual system is just a couple shitty cameras and a neural network. How hard can it be?" The answer is, "Exceedingly hard." The human visual system works at a far better angular resolution in the core than Tesla's system does (the Tesla "narrow" camera has a 4x worse angular resolution than the human eye core, and the human eye is really good at scanning that high resolution core and merging details), and the neural network behind it is an awful lot more complex than anything our computers can emulate. My three year old makes fun of the "green moons" and "red moons" in the sky after showing him the video of a Tesla confusing a low moon for a yellow light, because he can tell the difference between the moon and a traffic light. And I guarantee his visual processing system is capable of an awful lot more than a Tesla, in practical real world situations. I don't trust him to drive anything faster than his Power Wheels, but... well, neither do I trust a Tesla to do that.

A multi-sensor fusion based system has some hope of working with current technology. Vision only? Not a chance.

> No discussion in the article about where this money came from. My guess is that it came from the direct covid payments and extended unemployment which amounted to ~$1.4 trillion.

Interest rates are so low that money that would normally go into bonds and money market funds was diverted into the stock market.

Unemployment benefits did not prop the stock market up. People have to be unemployed to receive those benefits and the benefits are (excluding some periods of fuzzy COVID unemployment policy) less than normal wages, so unemployed people were suddenly receiving an influx of extra cash.

B. It's iterative. Knowledge doesn't stick until you see how it's applicable. By doing, you see the applications and learn faster.

A is useful in some situation, namely when you can't start or don't want to start yet. A big enough project may need a year of reading before you even start.

Generally you should read enough until you are highly motivated to do the work. And once work slows down, read some more.
Source authentication is basically an unsolved problem. There are some cryptographic approaches to doing it, but they all basically boil down to moving trust around between different parties. The problem certainly isn’t a lack of government set open standards.

The problem described above also doesn’t exist. A signature isn’t a necessary element of a contract, and even in situations where a signature is statutorily required for a certain type of contract, an e-signature is legally recognised (in all US states at least) without specifying that particular service providers or methodologies have to be used.
Almost anything is possible, but this is still by far the least likely explanation.

I think it's more important to find a good text book about the language you want to learn programming in, rather than a book about OOP. OOP is implemented differently by each language, and some popular languages these days completely avoid OOP.

The sentence right before your first quote answers your question -

In this case its sending the scene for the clients to instantiate.

In broad strokes it's accurate. The only difference is that back in the day the people selling moon acres could just sell the same moon acre multiple times, thus destroying the value anyone placed in their certificates. With NFTs, there is some public list that shows who owns which plots of the moon and if someone tries to double sell a moon plot, you can say "I'm not paying for that." But it doesn't confer any more property rights than the previous setup.

That said, NFTs are no more and no less irrational than buying the right to have your name slapped on anything else. Plenty of people will give money to have their name placed on a wing of a building or a park bench or what have you. NFTs allow you to have your name placed in a public ledger. If you value having your name in some specific public ledger, more power to you. But yeah if you wouldn't pay some random dude named Jim to declare you "Jim's Certified Owner of the Brooklyn Bridge" why would you pay him for "Jim's Brooklyn Bridge NFT"?

> Being a good engineer doesn't really have anything to do with either.

Being a good engineer is necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, for being promoted.

There are some toxic workplaces where politics is the only way to get ahead, but they tend to fizzle out quickly as the upper ranks become filled with people who aren't good at anything but politicking and the good engineers and managers leave for greener pastures. It's certainly not characteristic of a typical, successful company.

In fact, neglecting engineering skills and trying to exclusively play political games is one of the quickest ways I've seen people tank their engineering careers. The problem is that it might work at first, for a short while, but eventually the people around the person realize they're all talk and no show.

Reputations are hard to build but easy to destroy.
Syntax diagram, just like ye olde Pascal syntax poster!
Being an engineer is just that - an engineer. It's different from being a leader. Being a "10x" engineer just makes you a better engineer, it doesn't mean you're any more capable of making a decision that would generate a company $100 million in yearly revenue. Just different skill set. Steve Jobs wasn't a great engineer, but he was a great product visionary and marketer.
Dunno, seems like the lesson anyone would have learned in 2020 is “the fed will save you and all losses are extremely temporary”, which is not like a real downturn.
There is an huge area of possibility in exercises like Hypnosis but involving intense emotions.

We discovered ‘rewriting personal history’ to be a useful tactic for addressing pain in the past. I am right now thinking of when and if I want to make myself fall in love with another person. Another one is the deliberate flooding of the self with sadness (e.g. read the names at war memorial) to drown out feelings of anger to (i) never even in the face of provocation and (ii) intensely influence the other party.

Sometimes I get a download from the ‘Department of Emergency Psychology’ such as the above techniques, a phoenix visualization, etc.
Most people who favor the COVID vaccine being mandatory to participate in life trust CNN. If you distrust CNN, you're probably already opposed to the mandates.
> The operative phrase is "There is no legal framework,"

This isn’t really the salient point. You can buy and sell useful things with no legal framework (and people do all the time) and that doesn’t make it a scam or a scheme designed to sucker people. The difference is that NFTs have no inherent, tangible value. In that sense it’s more akin to something like baseball cards, or art. Things that have no inherent value, and are easily reproduced, but can be verified to be “authentic”.
My personal experience shows to the contrary, the super talented engineers do well, and get promoted much more easily.

And I’ve seen many cases of “run-of-the-mill engineers” change cultural aspects of the office and the company.

This is all based on mostly one employer, but a very big one. I suspect smaller companies make fast promotions for talented engineers and cultural changes even easier.

(I do agree that sometimes people that look in no way special at first glance turn out to be fantastic founders)
A few different things. IMO we don't really need full self driving, at least not in the next 10 - 15 years. The anxiety that it induces in city streets, pulling out at intersections, etc isn't even worth it. With Tesla your hand is already on the wheel, you're hovering the brake, just drive the car. It's really dumb when you think about it.

All we really need is better adaptive cruise control which is what Autopilot and Open pilot is. IMO it works flawlessly, takes the stress out of driving. It's really a solved problem at this point. I'd say 3/4 of all the miles I've driven on my Rav4 have been on Open Pilot.
You can get a real passport replaced, though.
