the inability for self-described rationalists to reason about how their emotions determine what they deem "objective" or significant is the most annoying thing on the planet.

one example where a lot of rationalists stop making sense is blaming challenges with dating on macrotrends and demographics when their own 'microtrends' of personal behavior, manners, and selection bias is the larger contributor to the issue.

No different than a company blaming the macro with 'the market wasn't ready' rather than their failure to bring a compelling product to market. Example: Instacart vs. Webvan.

scirate.com was one of four options I found for comments on arxiv papers [0]; the other three being researchgate.net, pubpeer.com, and arxiv-sanity.com/discussions

Of the four, scirate.com seems the best option (unless you're focused on machine learning -- then arxiv-sanity is the winner).

I agree that comments on arxiv papers are "unlikely to take off" in either a commercial money-making sense or a "grow as large and popular as HackerNews" sense.

The stocks vest progressively. You don’t literally have to wait 3 years to cash out.

If you can’t afford a single but if variance then I guess RSUs won’t make you happy. But for everyone else they work just fine (unless your company goes down in flames, in which case you have bigger problems and are probably job searching anyway)
I meant the very front-page/the landing page/i.e. https://github.com/

It cannot run it at all, because of all the graphics nonsense going on.
If they did that, I hope they would coordinate the timing with America first. It would be American forces, not so much the EU, that would be helping Taiwan defend against the invasion that would probably follow.
Incredibly untrue. I’m sorry that your particular company saw a 60% decrease in stock price over 3 years. But this is not the norm for any reasonably healthy company.
Why stop at 250?

Ok . When you get a full time tech/dev job next time, try asking the employer if you can work for another company concurrently. I am talking full time W2 jobs with benefits not contracting or freelancing.
I picked up Sable on a lark (also because I saw the Moebius-inspired art style and immediately fell in love). It's a fine game that you can tell was a labour of love by only a handful of people, for better and for worse. It hit that same vein of open-ended exploration that Breath of The Wild has and the same feeling of constant discovery the latter game has in its early hours. I do wish that Sable was less utopic, with dangers in the wild dunes from creatures or weather hazards, but that wouldn't work with the art style and doesn't make sense with the narrative. It's a great game, even if you can get around the often-janky flight model of the hoverbikes and bugs like occasional clipping into the environment.
That's thoughtful.

I think we can use rationally or emotionally-focused language to express our desires, wishes, demands etc. I think it's worth considering the language used to merely be the dress we give to what we want to say - we use the language we are accustomed to or that we think will have an impact.

So it's not always people are more or less rational/emotional, but they express their goals in that language.

We use rational language to express desire for ostensibly arbitrary choices all the time, for example. Rational language can also serve just as a way to dress up an opinion.

They are not replacing "needed traders", i.e. people that used to execute trades required by real people or companies, like "buy some Apple stock". These firms are playing their very own game in the markets, ultimately extracing money from the economy, with the supposed public benefit of "creating liquidity" (not needed for real investors who can very well wait a day or two before closing a deal) while actually distorting the markets and obscuring the real value).
While reputation might be one allure, getting questions about a paper answered (even if not by the author) is helpful. Pointing out fallacies or holes-in-logic in a paper might be a poor investment of time given the number of papers to comment on.

A grander vision of gathering feedback as part of a normal process seems desirable, but I don't know that the incentives for stakeholders are present to enable that.

> apps like virus scanners that are resource-intensive and difficult to remove.

My brother bought a premium Lenovo laptop. He's not very computer literate (he's a lawyer).

I cautioned him to run "Add / Remove" programs and remove the McAffee trial and turn on the built-in Windows virus scanner. I told him I'd talk him through it. Of course he didn't.

A year later when I visited him (we live on opposite ends of the country / world depending on the time of year) I saw that he simply uses his computer with giant red warning popping up all the time from McAffee "WARNING YOUR COMPUTER MAY BE UNPROTECTED" and a link to buy McAffee.

Yup, that’s what decoupling is about - gradually shifting production out of China, either to other low-cost producers or back home where robots and AI can do the job cheaply and sufficiently. It’s a prerequisite to ending economic dependence on a totalitarian nation, and their leverage over you.

But I don’t imagine Western nations will ever remove their embassies from China, as OP suggests. Those are useful for both official and backchannel communications, and have no bearing on nation’s leverage over the other.

I mean, what do you mean by “chip manufacturing”? I’m sure there are plenty of people designing chips at Intel/AMD/Nvidia/Apple/etc. that are good at reading die shots, so the real question might be, what career path will get you to work closely with these people and learn from them.

Unless you actually mean working at a fab? Which strikes me as more process engineering than typical HN interests.

It's possible, but the US and much of the western world would have to tolerate a decade or so of severely diminished standard of living when judged by consumption standards. The country as a whole would also have to work a lot harder and for more years.

In the past I would have said "there's no way that we would tolerate that," but for the last two years we have seen substantially diminished standard of living already due to [redacted], the monetary response to [redacted], and the policy response to [redacted], but now that we've seen that it is conceivable that the US would go a more austere route now. I also have seen now that no one in our leadership believes in anything or has any principles, so radical shifts really are possible.

With Vietnam, a lot of its recent development is related to expansion of Chinese foreign direct investment with substantial percentage increases every year in recent years. A lot of the notions about Vietnamese hostility to China and Chinese business is out of date and becoming more out of date.

There's virtually no US industry that is not heavily dependent on Chinese industry for refined materials, intermediate goods, and consumer goods. A lot of substitution could conceivably happen at higher prices, but really the way that we get out of it is defaulting on the government's medical obligations to the boomers and rededicating the money that was slated to giving them their to-the-grave care to industrial redevelopment.
Yeah I don't see the point or value at this stage. They control their media tightly, and if they just stopped talking about Taiwan I doubt many people in the mainland would care. They've proven they don't need Taiwan and vice versa.

Consulting for me; I work for a large firm but bonuses put me well over $250k. Most of my job is also not tech; I largely manage development teams these days. As a pure engineer, you should be looking at product companies selling SaaS.

To command that level of salary and industry, you need to have at least 10 years experience, with half of that at a “digital economy” product company. If you’re not at a larger product company working on production systems, your title will probably be a level below where you’re at now (so expect to come in making about what you do now, albeit with a higher ceiling for comp and promotions).

Startups aren’t necessarily the best entryway either. The job of working at a startup is very different from working on a relatively mature codebase. It takes a different mindset and a much more methodical approach. Less “move fast and break things” and more “readable code, complete documentation, good tests”.
Why throw it all away? If you use the bog standard components while building the MVP (and if you are bulding it as fast as you can why would you use non-standard stuff?), then you should be able to simply replace the "NotImplementedException" parts with the implementations and keep using the same codebase.

I mean, unless your MVP is a Bash script that emits a HTML page and sends an email via telnet, plus a CGI wrapper using a hand-rolled HTTP server ... why would you throw away the working and validated parts?

I mean if you use super dirty JS (Express) and jQuery ... then great, you can refactor that to use TS and plop the frontend code into components in whichever framework you like (Angular, React, Vue).

But again, these standard frameworks have a ton of "starter projects" on GitHub. Why not just start with those?
On what basis? Why can't we reasonably expect these sites to follow the laws? Just that they have in past survived being unethical and not following them does mean they have some sort of claim when they scramble to fix their failures.
Not quite as small. Combined EU has the largest economy in the world, is by far the wealthiest region on the planet, possesses a huge & advanced military force and despite decline still has pretty substantial manufacturing capacity. (only reason US tops these rankings is because in EU each metric is tracked separately for each country).

So if EU got its shit together and formulated a coherent unified foreign policy - it would be at the very least on equal terms with both US and China. Hence why everyone (from Putin, to China to even our allies the US) are so invested in breaking EU apart (and even succeeding - the Brexit).
You act as if “restarting” the logging system is easy and doesn’t require the same facade that you decry for a reconfigurable one. With dependency injection, there are loggers everywhere in the system, possibly in sections of the code you didn’t even rewrite. Restarting such a system while continuing to run everything else is just as complex as reconfiguring, possibly more complex.

Also, I noticed you didn’t answer my question about whether you’re a Java developer.
If you are doing by-the-hour contract work you can generally set your own terms for which hours you work and how many.
> In what way is this related to "other people shouldn't be inconvenienced to protect you from the choices you have made"?

Who is inconvenienced? And should I feel 'inconvenienced' by those going to hospital because of vaccine adverse events? For instance, just for Pfizer in the EU, there are 640K events reported as of now [1], with ~70K of those for Blood & lymphatic system or cardiac disorders. Now these may not all be specific to Covid and not all hospitalisations, but there's certainly some 'inconvenience' to others here, no? Or is there some lower limit of 'inconvenience?'

You might also observe that a large number of adverse events are occurring in the 18-64 group, one that is of much lower risk of covid hospitalisation/death in the first place.

But wouldn't want to inconvenience you with lockdowns now would we! How frustrating! Better let you out so you can go give some unvaccinated people covid instead hmm? Sorry for the snark but what a selfish attitude.

But you used your father as an example and my question is if your father worked for both at the same time. That matters a lot. Your comparison is not appropriate because there is a huge difference between working a job and then working another job at a totally shift/time than working 2 remote jobs concurrently where you are supposed to be available for both.
> A few decades ago we expected women to "show emotions" and men to be strong. We are now trying to change this cliché since it hurts all of us. What we see in the paper is that this change is taking place. I think it's good news.

This cliche only hurt women, now it will hurt all of us. Repressed emotions meant people at least tried to repress their worst, but look at boomers and their unrestrained narcissism. Who can look at that and see progress?
The sole reason USA leapfrogged the rest of the developed world economically after WW2 was because they didn't have to rebuild everything from scratch.

Cutting off all reliance on China would be economic suicide for any individual nation unless every one mutually agrees on it. Best of luck getting that to happen.

If I ever got to be dictator, I'd make this mandatory reading just so everyone realizes how stupid it is to have a dictator.

> I have a side client that I met 11 years ago that I charge $150 per hour for remote development.

That's not too surprising, and depending on what you are doing might be a great deal for everyone. Usually contracting work out is done at 1.7-2x the rate you'd pay an employee. This is because the the consultant has costs and risk that an employee does not. Costs like insurance, accounting, legal, personal benefits (i.e. savings to allow for vacations, healthcare), sales overhead (consultants have to keep finding new clients). Risks like contract cancellation and getting paid on time.
Fair enough. Just of curiosity, would you have fired him if his performance hadn't suffered?
Genuine questions:

1. Do diplomats normally lose immunity after an embassy is demoted to a consulate (or something of a lower status)?
2. Did China have a history of detaining diplomatic personnel, disregarding their immunity?
Everyone has their unique value to a company. That could range from large expertise with certain libraries/type of problems to deep knowledge of an industry or even your network (more applicable to sales/leadership). Not all developers do the same exact job and I think we can universally agree that some work performed is more valuable to a company than others.

No, but I have a family and my wife and kids may often be using my computer, thus it may be that one of them have accepted the terms and thereby everybody's data gets saved.

I wonder if Facebook and Google and the rest assume it is just one person they are dealing with or if the algorithms they've trained are smart enough to detect that there is a high chance that particular usage patterns strongly imply an individual user.

If so that is to say they have identified profile 1 and profile 2 but have only asked profile 1 for permission and received permission but then continue to store data for profile 1 and 2 and think they are disparate users - would this run afoul of GDPR?

How many YC startups use Lisp and is it faster?
I realize lisp is a recurring topic here, but I haven't seen numbers:

1. how many yc startups actually use it?
2. have non-pg people who have really used it really found it to make them measurably faster, and if so, by how much?

PS: clearly "faster" is hard to measure, so to unpeel once:

(a) self vs self on same task
(b) team vs itself after language migration
Yes. Hamsterworks is a great resource. I learnt a fair bit from this site when I started with FPGAs. I'll add the archived version to my recommended resources page.
Sales.

When I lived in an expensive part of SF (not long) I was eager to ask around "What do you do for a living?" Sales. One guy managed to bring in 20 million dollars worth of contracts into a tech company by calling his friends. His comp was north of 1 million for one year. He wanted 2 million for the next. That is a good deal for a company and easy to justify that comp. Another lady sold energy contracts. Another lady sold real-estate. Another guy worked in Oracle sales. What I learned: what revenue they generated for the company they got a cut. These people could walk into any company and add IMMEDIATE value. Their personal freedom was also astonishing, their employer couldn't care less where they were or what they were doing. Just bring in a sale.
Now imagine all those Chinese factories being repurposed for the sole purpose of producing armaments as happened in the West during WW2.
That’s absolutely my point
> Both you and the author of the blog post assume that rationality is better than being able to show our emotions

I didn't say this. If it's not clear, I think it was a great thing and I benefited from it. I value both reason and emotion. It's not a novel or revolutionary topic. Gene Roddenberry explored it with the logic of Spock and the gut intuition of Kirk.

I've since learned it goes back even further:

The romantic writers and poets made a genuine break with the rational, orderly thinking of the eighteenth century Enlightenment. While we still think of Voltaire as a symbol of the power of reason, his contemporary, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, was one of the early, prominent voices of nineteenth century romanticism

https://novaonline.nvcc.edu/Eli/Eng252/Bb_version/StudyGuide...

My own theory is that WW2 and the subsequent struggle with Communism over-emphasized the rational as a survival mechanism and the 70's were a time when we stopped doing that.

Edit: We got to the Moon with rational systems thinking (we also got Silicon Valley) so I'm not saying it was bad. Also, I enjoy Adam Curtis documentaries that explore these topics, esp. All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace.
> To say this was bad and blame it on women is an echo of conservative criticism from those days.

You're misreading the post. Alex Tabarrok and Tyler Cowen (who author MR) write from a generally pro-market, libertarian-ish perspective but they are not doctrinaire conservatives. Both of them are feminists. When Tabarrok writes about the "feminization of culture," he doesn't mean it in a negative way, he means it either neutrally or positively.

For my part, I think it's quite clear that our culture has been "feminized" over the past 20-30 years, resulting in negative and positive consequences. A positive is less tolerance for physical abuse, assault, and bullying. A negative is the ubiquity of reputation-destruction as a legitimate tactic in public discourse.

Since someone else brought up tax advantages - I don’t pay social security tax on my self employed income. Because I max it out on my full time job. I also have an Individual 401k plan that I can contribute 20% of my self employed income as the employer contribution. I can’t contribute my self employed income as the employee contribution though because I max that out at my full time job.

Having combination W2 and 1099 income gives a ton of tax benefits.
If the stocks go down before they vest you can just leave for another company and reset your compensation to the normal level, it isn't like the contract says you have to stay.

If you keep the stocks after they vest then that is your fault for keeping them instead of selling them.
