So the company was a startup in the Bay Area, SF-based. At that time the wages were very competitive, and he was more senior than I was so most likely he was getting paid very well. He told me he wanted to save up as much as possible while maximizing his income, so he could buy a house in a cheaper cost of living area. He did succeed in that endeavor, and last I spoke with him still does the two job thing.

I know for me personally, one job is enough, especially considering that I like to maintain a very generous work-life balance (leaning heavily to the life side of the ratio). Not sure if his sacrifice was necessary, as I was also able to buy a house, it just took me longer. But some people are very type A workaholic types.
Sounds like you might have burnout. Get checked out. It reduces your emotional and intellectual energy resources.
I have an android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.algeo.alge...).

It brings in right around $500 a month. It is fun to develop, especially that I can dabble into frontend and UI design which is quite far away from what I'm doing daily.

Interestingly, it used to bring in much more but the heydays of apps are over.
Every salary increase I had so far has been 2x. Once I hit a ceiling, I got 2 gigs in paralel, so I 2xed again, I guess. Even so, I did not reach SV income level. I cash in about 100k a year. I am comfortable though.

People looking from the outside of NFTs seem to believe this kind of wash trading is a dominant source of volume. In my experience, it's pretty rare and there's a lot of organic demand around each new "hot" NFT. A better way to think of these is each successful NFT series is a mini-bubble, people inside the scene develop an instinct for features might make an NFT desirable but no one can accurately guess the top. So they play hot potato with each other, where buying earlier increases chances of a successful exit.

What are we to make of that warning? What shortcomings do you think people will find?
Econ 101 would say that a free option would push the equilibrium price down. I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. There are comments on other stories everyday complaining about how hard it is to price against "free."

Moreover, the owner of the school drives a Toyota. I think my point is that the cost of providing an education is greater than many people think. It's not like colleges are turning a profit off of tuition.
I can’t win with you can I. Basically mentioning the word “China” is to get a reply from you claiming I’m stating a flame war.

I stop replying to certain people or to comments cos you keep warning me with stuff not mentioned in guidelines, and now you’re claiming I think my country is superior. Basically you just don’t want any discussion that might invoke a response.

I even avoid replying to tombh insulting me and I still get in trouble.

What do you want me to fix exactly?

That's a very much "citations needed". From my perspective, only the JetBrains IDE's and Firefox are done like that.

Everything else is some kind of third party package (ppa, flatpack, snap, docker, etc).
I'm a cynical realist who held the same viewpoint as you: "everyone's a fucking liar. Can't they see all the shit that's being peddled is just bullshit?"

Then, I stopped worrying and loved the grift.

It's just a game to play.

I shelter my intellectual "honesty" and idealism within my side-projects.

For business? I play to win.

It's the only way I've found to stop myself from becoming a jaded hollow husk.

Escaping the KPI game? There are organizations that don't self-fellate with KPIs (rare, or impossible, as it may seem). I've found that the "corporate bullshit" curve follows the Dunning Kruger curve (with fat tails). You have the vast bulk of bullshit in the center, the average SME/Enterprise, where everyone is trying to peddle bullshit faster than their competition. On one end you have the "high-performance," "we're making obscene amounts of money, and we want to make even more" a la buyside high finance (note: there is a lot of "playing the game," but the game isn't as petty, because people have real shit to do, with a lot of money at stake). On the other end you have the "we're growing. We're making money, and we're busy getting more features out the door; we don't have time for this bullshit that pretends to be working" start-up type where everyone knows how much everyone else is "outputting." There's no room to coast; there's no layers upon layers of bureaucracy and bullshit metrics to disguise your actual worth to the org.

If neither of those two fit your temperament, then perhaps you should find a research outfit? There will still be games to play, however.

If you generally view most people as incompetent, and that you're constantly having to bear the brunt of the terrible decisions of those above you: you should start your own firm (or find more competent people to work with).
I don't think imaginary numbers were created to describe aspects of our physical reality. They came about more from mucking about with algebra - if you've solved x^2=4 and then wonder how to solve x^2+1=0. Apparently first by Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century AD. You don't really get to aspects of physical reality that are fundamentally complex until you get to quantum mechanics which was discovered a while after that.
I was shooting heroin and reading _The Fountainhead_ in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief. "Bad news, detective. We got a situation."

Next Up: Samsung says using the remote control for their TVs require a monthly subscription. /s

It's just as absurd. I had an aftermarket remote start/keyless unlock installed on a car that didn't even have autolocks for less than a year's worth of proposed subscription fees for this. Greedy bastards justs being greedy.
Okay, I'll tell you what I really think. The author is a whiner. In fact, he is a sniveling whiner, the worst kind. His diatribe is full of lies, mostly lies of omission. The only thing worse than this would be an ad hominem attack on Apple management.
One month before Twitter shut down Vine, a company created a little known media site called TikTok which as of 2020, had a revenue of almost $2 billion.

So yea. I don’t trust Twitter’s ability to build a great product.

They’ve shown they’re incapable of doing so, even with a winning lottery ticket.

Really think about that for a moment. Twitter shut down Vine because they couldn’t find a way to monetize it.

Think about how incompetent you have to be to mess that up.
Would you mind sharing what the revenue breakdown looks like between these? Do you find Mac or iOS is more lucrative?
If the stock price drops, yes you get paid less going forward. If the stock goes up, you get paid more. That’s how it works. Try telling Uncle Sam at tax time that you want to calculate your income tax based on your RSU grant price. I’m sure the IRS would be thrilled.
I don't see why an employer should be entitled to know anything about an employee's health (mental or otherwise) outside of what a doctor might order as reasonable accommodation.

Employers "managing risk" sounds like allowing them to exclude people with mental illness or other disabilities. Maybe that's not what you mean, but I believe that is what employers would do.
My theory is that you have 2 sets of 4 hours per day.

If you work 8 hours for the same employer then that is kind of 1x results for you.

If you do 4 hours work and 4 hours "networking" then that often becomes 2x results - at that one company. This is considered good career moves. It's what all these 300K job discussions revolve around.

You could do 4 hours and 4 hours slacking off. That's usually 1X as well. sometimes more !

You could do 4 hours work and 4 hours writing blog posts. That sometimes is 2-3x or more. Not often.

Finally you could do 4 hours at each of two companies. This seems 2x as well.
It’s a question of whether the above is supposed to mean (1/2)(-9.8), or 1/(2(-9.8)). Technically it’s ambiguous (I think), in practice it’s obviously the former, because if it was the latter you’d write it as 1/(2-9.8).
You forgot the more important part:

What Web3 is pitched to be is completely antithetical to what most people want in the sense that by it's nature, Web3 basically makes AML and other financial controls pretty much impossible to reliably implement and enforce.

You will not get trivial money transfer over the Internet without a gatekeeper. Not permanently anyway. As soon as the primitive for doing so comes into existence, it is guaranteed to be regulated on a when not if basis.

Whether you try to exploit the short time before the law catches up to it says more about whether you're a gambler or not than anything else.
Zuckerberg's "excuse" is to blame his choices on "automated systems".

Occassionally he takes personal responsibility. Maybe he will admit "I made a mistake" a few times. But the solution is never to remove the person at cause. The Board cannot remove Zuckerberg no matter what decisions he makes. The response to the public is "We just need to fix the algorithm." Misjudgment is always portrayed as a computer issue, not a human one.

Google/Facebook want to profit from news without having to hire editors and journalists. Even worse, they want "creators" to produce content for free and then give them a cut.
I use calc as well, especially practical in combination with guake ( a drop-down quake style console: https://github.com/Guake/guake ).
It’s more that the NFT doesn’t add anything: what matters happens elsewhere so why pay a ton of money for something which gives you no benefits?

That's a good introduction.
You are missing the critical component, the double spend protection. Which is exactly the world we had <2008. It is powerful and we used it in finance for decades. However trustless systems that prevent double spends are more powerful, and that is why people are excited.

Makes sense to me. Most jobs are just code that hasn't been written yet or simple machines that haven't been built yet. The only reason why is because there is no regulatory incentive to stop exploiting humans.

We conquered the world already. We have enough technology to replace most human labor with automation and enable people to produce entertainment, media, and innovation of their own accord. Instead people run around anxious and impoverished for basically no reason. You would never know humans are at the top of the food chain looking from the outside.

Why not get UBI done, replace the humans with robots, and then actually enjoy our lives?
What's your background to make such a claim? Are you aware that String theory has made contributions to condensed matter physics and mathematics? Not to speak of its applications to quantum gravity, for example, being able to calculate the entropy of a black hole from counting microstates.
An exaggerated, crafted thing for human enjoyment, with no other purpose than that. Like art, or music, or porn, but with food.

Being able to precisely texture printed edibles makes imitation meat texturing better, or can enable entirely new arrangements of flavor and texture. If you could make vegan printed food more palatable, that's a win, but even if it just makes fancy novelties, that's fine too. Life is mostly bullshit, so take enjoyment wherever you can

I sympathize with that problem, but I think Redirector may not be the right tool for that job. Redirector is pretty small and flexible - I imagine pinging servers and rotating hosts in a redirect is out of scope. Have you tried a more full-featured privacy service redirector? Google brought up https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect.
The internet is self-cleaning. Materials that no one cares to maintain rots away.

It’s more like a city than a library. Houses need to be maintained and used or they eventually become unusable and will be torn down and replaced or simply abandoned.

I think some early thoughts about the web was that it was going to be a library of knowledge. Those ideas were misguided I think. It’s a chaotic city and it probably always will be. The article makes some good points about how to increase longevity and while it can certainly help, it probably won’t make a huge difference in most cases.

Funnily enough it's just a few days since I did some similar code to support writing PNGs from a small embedded device. In this case the full deflate algorithm seemed like overkill in memory and CPU requirement, and most of the images were probably going to be served over a LAN anyway.

It's not as highly optimized as this effort though, and it just uses the standard huffman table that is built into deflate, rather than a static-but-custom one.

Just as a counterpoint, I'm currently in the market for an electric car (fuel is >$8/gal here).

Due to the way taxes work here, you can get effectively more than 40% off a company car EV lease through salary sacrifice. All in, I could get a 4 year lease for more than 60% less than a 4 year car loan - with the caveat that I won't have the option of paying a balloon payment to take ownership at the end, but it still works out far better financially to do the lease. The lease also includes insurance, servicing and various other things. I also have heard pretty sketchy things about second hand EVs so would rather wait for that market to develop more.

The problem with leases is I can't pick my trim. If every car was manufactured with the same trim but used software unlock for features, I could just lease the standard model then pay for extra performance, better autopilot, keyless unlock, etc. month to month. It would also be great for hired cars where I could get in the car and pay £5 to unlock the upgraded model for 2 weeks.

Basically, what I'm saying is being able to subscribe to a car and add-on features at runtime is actually an improvement for me. I get it's absolutely not for everyone, but I personally would like it.
It isn’t “unlock a door.” It’s “unlock a door from your phone regardless of where you are as long as you have cell signal and the car has cell signal, it doesn’t have to be in range of the fob.”

I cannot recall any misinformation campaign as spectacularly successful as the one that has convinced many Americans that the GP post's publisher/platform distinction is actually the law. And they don't seem to have had any special trick to it, they just repeat the lie enough times that people believe it.
That's not a meaningful statement without quantifying what "a lot of data" and "many companies" mean.
>And if the person is not honest, all it will take is for a few people to lose a small amount of money which is simply not worth fighting for, but it is enough to get those victims to warn others about the scam.

I am sorry but I don't consider it a positive that someone can clandestinely scam people out of lots of small amounts of money and the only thing an ordinary customer can do is wait until someone else more knowledgeable notices it and then hope they warn everyone and have enough resources to put together a class action suit or just accept that their money is lost because maybe it was too little to care about. At best, this is no better than the current system when using sketchy non-crypto payment systems; at worst, it's asking customers to shelter all of the risk of the product being a scam.

>This includes middlemen and friction.

The point here is that to the market operator, it's actually less middlemen and friction than crypto, they operate the currency directly and so there is no fees for them. It seems like you're shifting from the perspective of the market operator to the customer, but that's not what I was discussing, and it's also not true of most cryptocurrency anyway.

>You really should, because that would be a huge lesson for you and everyone else that criticizes crypto without taking a look at the actual reality of a lot of people.

I don't think it would help because it doesn't explain why the fees would be lower. That's the only question I'm interested in, as far is this hypothetical conversation is concerned. I can pull up a lot of numbers but that's not really giving a full picture. Your description seems to suggest this is illegal in Argentina and you'd be asking your employee to commit a crime, so I suppose that answers my question.
> The problem is then you have to trust that database. You have to trust the person running it, you have to trust they will still be in business, you have to trust the person running it will allow other people to connect to it (or get stuck in their walled garden).

That's just it. I do trust the bank. The bank has stood for several human lifetimes (might have changed names, but the same bank). They have overwhelmingly served people reliably. The deposits are insured by the government that has stood for several human lifetimes. They are accountable legally and practically. Bad transactions can be reversed thanks to the trusted processors, banks, and government.

> We're pretty far into this Web 2.0 experiment with centralized services. The experiment is over, the results are in. We can't trust them.

What on earth are you talking about? I've never had money taken from my bank account without my permission. Those few cases of fraud I've experienced have been detected and resolved swiftly, with little activity required from me.

Meanwhile with a blockchain you have to trust the majority of unknown actors. People I don't know, from states where theft of my money might go unprosecuted, if the actor can even be detected. Bad transactions cannot be reversed. Fraud? I'm SOL. And then there's the fact that crypto enables ransomware. And the environmental costs. Absurd.

> What NFT's give us, is the ability to own a unique digital assets in an open system and not have to rely on ad driven business models. It's a digital asset which can be ANYTHING.

We already have this in the US and other nations, it's called copyright, and the courts will enforce it as well as they can. NFTs do not provide an enforcement mechanism, they still rely on the legal system, and a pointer to a uri does not prove what object was originally at that uri.
Well kinda. The Bends was next after Pablo Honey, which contained "Creep", the song Radiohead famously learned to hate.

The "magnum opus" is typically said to be OK Computer, their 3rd album, 2 after Pablo. While it was certainly a departure, the band generally said they wanted a total artistic change in direction.

Interesting though is the song "Iron Lung" on The Bends, which is a song about "Creep" where they refer to it as, among other things, a "total waste of time".
Well no the speed of the satellite is irrelevant there, the background is not getting distorded at all
