This reads like a Buzzfeed listicle for people who hate Buzzfeed listicles.

By all means, please do read more books, consume less frivolously, watch old "under-rated" films, &c. But do it because you want to do it, not because some weirdo on the internet told you that it'll make you "counter-cultural."
Yes, you’d need to do exactly that.

The PCBs can be ordered dirt cheap at Chinese shops like JCPCB. They are associated with LCSC, a cheap component supplier of Digikey, that also provides the RP2040 microcontroller (though currently out of stock, as expected with today’s supply chain.) They even provide cheap PCB assembly services.
Right... that's one interesting thing about logics is that you have a choice of so many.
Like almost everyone else on HN, I believe everyone should have the right to block ads in any city, and it should be possible with VR technology in the not-too-distant future.

That said, I would always want to live in a city in which advertisers are constantly fighting each other to get everyone's attention with ads, in every possible way, to the extent permitted by reasonable zone/cosmetic regulations[a], because the alternative is often symptomatic of economic stagnation or even disaster.

Anecdotally, a city without ads is a city without economic growth. Compare:

* Cities in North Korea: https://www.google.com/search?q=north+korea+city+streets&tbm...

* Cities in East Germany before reunification: https://www.google.com/search?q=east+germany+city+streets+be...

[a] For example, in the US it is virtually impossible to display ads on residential streets, because doing so requires getting explicit permission from local government bodies like a neighborhood commission.
I like the HOMM series a lot, but my favorite game of this genre was Lords of Magic from Sierra. It played a lot like HOMM, but it had real time combat that you could pause. Amazing graphics for the time, and I love the soundtrack! This is a game I really wish had a sequel.

Pretty sure many or most Windows programs don't use the POSIX library.
I mean yeah, step one is almost always "make more money than most people on earth", which is obviously not an attainable goal for most people. if you're already on the right track, it's not terribly interesting to read. but being a disciplined saver and making reasonable investment choices is surprisingly uncommon even among people who do actually have the prerequisite income.

something about it just doesn't click in the minds of some people. I have a buddy that's been poor (like, rice and beans and still missing rent) his whole life. yet somehow whenever he receives some sort of windfall, he spends thousands of dollars faster than I do on a >$150k salary. he finally got a good job making ~$80k and his first thought was "I'm gonna get a nice 3BR apartment". he lives by himself with no children or pets! maybe if enough articles like this popped up in his feed, he would understand the issue with his approach.
Google Fi prides itself on blocking spam calls. Yet its business depends on the same cause: ads and marketing
> QOL staying the same is quite attractive.

I can’t speak for the OP, but usually QoL refers to essential things like housing, food, education, etc. Outside of that, the average Dutchie has very little disposable income.

This means that the extra money they make in the USA, is still quite useful since you can spend it on all the other stuff that gives you joy in life.
Tell that to my 12 year-old battery bank powering my family house (solar with diesel backup charge). It is a pack of deep cycle lead-acids that have served me very well. Of course they are watched and maintained regularly, and rarely ever dip below 75%.

The only use case I've ever seen for lithium off-grid is for people who want to squeeze their entire rig into a closet or basement corner. And nobody ever talks about what to do with those batteries once they finally die. My packs will be easily recycled.
We don't have to treat each other as humans, either, by that logic.
I don's see how this contradicts the parent's comment? He's presumably talking about the unemployment subsidy that the federal government offered.
Because it's a form of sovereign financial structuring, not the state attempting to defraud individual citizens.

It's another one to file under "words mean specific things, and abusing the language does a disservice to an otherwise reasonable point."
"The reality is that most of us in tech can aspire to the author's outcome, with high probability of success."

This simply isn't true. Most people cannot retire after 12 years of working, even in tech. The median software dev salary in the US is about $105k. You cannot reasonably earn $2.4M when you make about half of that during those 12 years.
The inflation isn’t new either. We have had loony inflation in real estate (by far the worst), stocks, speculative assets, tuition, etc. for well over a decade.

Nobody cared until we started to get inflation in the one area we actually need it: wages. Now we have an “inflation crisis.”
I would agree but the only reason I separate atm withdrawals was because your nacha article did

> The Fed also reported that card fraud went from accounting for less than two-thirds of the value of fraud in 2012 to more than three-quarters in 2015. “The fraud rate, by value, of card payments and ATM withdrawals combined increased from 7.99 basis points to 10.80 basis points,” the survey found.

Peculiarly about a different set of years
It's sufficient but the causality tends to be secondary.

America, as currently patterned, is a fragile society. People balance work and family through ad-hoc systems with few redundancies. Now a pandemic comes around that killed a bunch of people who were providing informal support for the main workforce.

A man in Georgia can't do full-time anymore because he's a single dad and the daycare shut down for the duration of the pandemic. A mom exits the workforce because the grandparents who were watching the kids after school are now dead. Someone loses someone dear to them and re-thinks their life direction. These things add up.
As someone hiring engineers remotely, this is explicitly our offer.

About 4 hours is peak productivity.

No, it's not the worst, far from it.
Inflation can be found as a result of several possible root causes, and stimulus is probably certainly one of them. But you also have a shortage of goods due to extended supply chain issues. You have a reshuffling of the housing market as people go remote and move to different places(people leaving SF to go to Nashville, etc...). You have low interest rates that allow for incredibly cheap borrowing. There is no way to pin everything inflation to just printing.
The argument starts that people who need gas more are going to buy it in the shortage (suggesting efficient distribution), and then acknowledges that it's just as likely wealthier people or price gougers who don't need it.

In actual shortages where there's a strong political motivation to efficiently distribute goods (e.g. wartime), we switch to central planning (i.e. rations) because we know that's what works, denying price gougers their tax and making sure poor people who need stuff can get it.
If I were employing that person and found out about this I would promote them to an executive position… that is if the work was good and they were doing it successfully.
I don't quite understand what it is you are implying.

Labor shortages and H1-B visas have very little to do with each other.

A wok with a flat bottom is wok with a flat bottom not a normal flat bottom pan.

As for heat my 11kW induction top has never failed to keep any wok/pan hot enough for stir frying.

According to this convertor I found online https://www.stovesareus.co.uk/kilowatt-conversion it is roughly equilevant to a 37000 BTU/h burner.
This is nice, but even though I've administered email servers for a quarter of a century, I haven't got the foggiest clue what makes an email server "Gmail-like". What does "Gmail server" mean?

I would think, if anything, that what Gmail has that typical email servers do not is somewhat decent webmail, but that can't be it because webmail isn't even mentioned.

Or is this another one of those instances where people use "Linux" to refer to all things Unix? I genuinely would like to know.
I read this and while I view some of the points as good advice, like others have pointed out -- being counter cultural for the sake of it is a path to misery. Articles like this miss one crucial overarching point and that is, what ever you do in life, do it intentionally. Go with the flow, don't go with the flow -- whatever as long as every once in a while you have a think and ask yourself "is this really what I want out of life" if it is great keep on keeping on but if it's not then think about what you have to do to change your life to get to where you want to be, doing what you want to do. Don't be merely an observer in your own life.
prior to world war 2, the US wasnt a free market either. with massive government involvement to solve the great depression.

> Correct. People have a “no deal I’ll wait” option.

>Same as business as always had.

"business as always had" that option? Clearly they don't, otherwise they'll never cave to strikes.
This article is full of dumb advice that will cause nothing but grief if you follow it. This is an anti-mimetic comment. ;-)
Lol what did I say that was ‘heated’? Your first reply to me was a defense of street violence against me.

Threatening violence is a whole different topic and these laws encompass a lot more than “imminent violence” so not sure why you’ve brought that up.

Whoever makes the legal decision, I hope you have a good lawyer because the police should be knocking on your families’ door abt your racist post soon now. Cheers, I’m about to get rate limited by HN so might not reply.
If you’ve made over a million dollars in RSUs after taxes then I must admit… I’ve never heard of anything like that. Are you sure you’re not talking about stock options in a quickly growing company/ startup?
Shameless plug: if you're still into H3 there is almost complete open source implementation with mods support written from scratch in C++. Also there is built-in mods support.

> Hm. Using Nix looks interesting (I’m a fellow Mac user).

Nix is very powerful; there's a steep learning curve the more of its ecosystem you use. If "declarative", "generational", "immutable" are all words you like, it's worth looking into.

It's one of the best ways to be able to get a consistent set of tools (and versions of) across macOS/Linux.

> When you do that, do you also need to compile the applications during installation…? (E.g. stuff written in Rust/C/C++)

My experience using Nixpkgs with macOS was that most stuff downloaded from the cache. I would run into a few cache-misses where Nix would fetch & compile the source. (e.g. KeePassXC .. although maybe it wasn't cached because other users would install programs like that from casks).

> Do you need to edit the “recipes” a lot or do they generally Just Work?

Mostly it works. The caveats:

- I have run into a case where some test failed because of path length limits(?). I worked around that by skipping the test.

- I'd guess the order of popularity of community usage is "NixOS > other Linux > macOS > other". Some packages might be able to work on macOS, but either have metadata marked as linux-only, or don't take care of (maybe) macOS specific needs. (e.g. It's been fixed, and the workaround wasn't difficult before that, but I'd run into this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/56348).

- Nix is weird; so, sometimes when it's not doing what you want, it can be difficult to figure out what it is you have to do. (So, you can fall-back and use homebrew or whatever).
> then we've seen either a massive increase in economic output or inflation.

No, there wasn't a massive increase in economic output nor a hyperinflation. But there was an asset price inflation. World wide we saw a surge of housing prices (in US, China and Europe -- where money supply grew phenomenally over the years), booming financial markets and a massive price increase of cryptographic money. So much of the growing monetary supply was being absorbed by those markets. But now the time has come where the all the additional money starts having an effect on the price of everyday items.

So contrary to what you _want_ to believe, Milton Friedman turns out to be right ... again.
> I will take deflation over inflation any day of the week. Inflation punishes good behavior of people who save money and create cushions for the pissible[sic] bad days. It robs people of their savings.

As an individual, deflation benefits me too. But that's because you and I are individual actors, not a government in charge of maintaining a diverse economy of actors.

To cut the entire thing short: the general undesirability of deflation is considered a settled matter in economics. Just about any resource will help explain why that is, and why we (agents in the economy) benefit from small amounts of inflation.
I’m doing a surfing class booking platform.

I felt a need for something like this as a surfing student: I was booking classes via messaging/phone.

A few years go by and I forget about it, but recently I meet the owners of two surfing schools who tell me about the need for a such a booking system.

Trying to launch soon.

Hope this counts as validation.
AMP link is ironically perfect for this ..
That doesn't really follow. An inferior tool may be prohibitively hard to use for a beginner while an expert effortlessly compensates.
Buying a big mac is more time efficient than cooking a hamburger, too.
That is so true! And just as there are people who dehumanize, there are laws which do the same.
the great reset is a textbook example on how some crazy lunatics with the ego the size of a melon, trying to plan the future for the world's best interest, can trigger a wave of conspiracy theory with attrocious consequences ( such as old people not wanting to get vaccinated after having read too many tweets about 5G and vaccine).

I was scared when i read this klaus schwab manifesto for the first time, realizing the "great reset" conspiracy theory actually had a much more solid ground than expected.
who was likely a money mule, who likely got their account overdrafted by your bank because the actual fraudster already got away with the actual money, while you just got a user experience that has nothing to do with the recoverability of money just an illusion of it

a financial institution custodying bitcoin can do that too
Seems like a you problem.

Genesis is common to all abrahamistic religions, so it has the widest appeal.

Personally I’d have appreciated a quote from any other text equally, but I’m going to assume that a US government official reading a non-christian text publicly might have effects on coming elections.
They said it. From the BattlePenguin site (I’m not going to link as it may get shadowbanned):

“In the United States, health privacy is one of the many things covered under legislation know as HIPPA. However, all the rules seem to have changed in the reaction to COVID-19. Now, people are not only proclaiming their medical information to everyone, but venues and employers are requiring disclosures of experimental medication in order to enter their premises. Whether you believe this is a justified request or not is irrelevant. It’s the end of medical privacy as we know it, and opens up an entirely new class of discrimination based on an individual’s choice to take a medication.”

Posting my response to your post.
Just because I am young doesn't mean anything. I know what I'm talking about. I started coding and building robots when I was 13, and circuit design at 15. Solar power is dead simple.

Yeah I can work with raw terminals because I don't make silly mistakes. I've been working with low voltage DC for decades. Most of the systems I throw together are for educational use. Those balance wires were probably a rapid prototype pack where I was testing something. I know what I'm doing and how it works. And wow you're so dramatic about the balance wires why don't you criticize the companies that offer their pack configurations in ways that you complain about? There are many companies that throw these packs together and sell them to unsuspecting people, and you are giving me a hard time when making a quick pack to educate or test something? Give me a break
Deflation forces the economy to grind to a halt. I hope that's not the only way to fight climate change and pollution.
Heck, even private businesses often do a kind of ad-hoc rationing for essential goods when there's a rush on them, because they know that the kind of arbitrage free-for-all described in the article has extremely poor social outcomes in a crisis.
Would you be interested in a call to share experience?

I'm currently developing a similar platform for music practice space (https://noisycamp.com).
You're not really answering the question. It's fundamentally easier to do it with cloned credit cards, or banks because they are centralized entities dealing with individuals with verified identities.

Even if you had someone's bank password, what will you do with the money? Transfer it to another bank? If so the wire will be reversed. Why? Because you can call someone and tell them to do so and an investigation will be done, but you will be presumed to be innocent first.

So again, with Bitcoin, with no centralized entities involved, how can you distinguish between someone ceding their bitcoin to someone else vs. it being stolen from them?
Man, I notice more and more biases all the time.
Sorry, I missed that. Yes, in that case, we should use the combined statistic.
There's an ever-increasing issue of people who are not able to provide value sufficient to justify their wages as those wages increase.
You use the loaded word "shortage" without defining it, and you don't appear to be using the typical definition.
IDK. I guess I'm fine with it. Keeping the lights on. I more or less agree with Saul Griffins: Fission and maybe fusion will be important in a few decades. As a successor to renewables. Useful if we survive this key hole event.

Of all the things we waste money on, I don't much resent Dream Big efforts like fusion, space exploration, and stuff.
There is an iPad version of HoMM3 in the App Store that works wonderfully - until it crashes midgame every single time… don‘t know if this is a memory leak or something like that :-(

True which kind of excludes the usage of Squid, but that's even more effort because either one specific domain needs to be targeted or a whole cluster of domains. I mean the moment someone finds this out and publishes the public cert that has been used on HN the CA that issued it will be out of business within a month. Afterwards there would be a lot of fuzz and everybody might go all-in on CT.

IMHO the most realistic attack vector in this context is a bug in TLS or a popular implementation that is being leveraged to target an individual. Whoever is in this situation, should seriously consider the way he or she uses the internet...
It sounds less like FUD than a change in perspective.

When I was in my twenties, I would have empathized with your point. I used to host my own web servers, but back then, my main priorities were curiosity, privacy and independence.

Not just that, I opened accounts for friends and family.

A decade later, I made all my hosting someone elses‘ problem, because I had different priorities.

There‘s nothing like the sound of a friend shouting in your ear because he trusted you with his mail address and he‘s running into weird errors. Or trying to get an important email delivered after a 10h crunch shift when you just want to bring your kids to bed instead.

I‘m thankful for all those learnings, but nowadays, I‘m old enough to just want mail to frickin work, that‘s why Google does it for me on a custom domain.
I always thought that I at least should be entitled to be paid by companies who are using my mental bandwidth for their profit, without even asking for my permission.
Thanks! I probably can still have a lot of fun because I don't really remember any of the exploits! I know I should split the soldiers into N piles of 1 soldier and 1 pile of larger group but other than that I know nothing! Probably the reason I couldn't beat the campaign back then.
I might be in a more conspiratorial mood than usual, but isn't centralised rationing more about ensuring the government can take its cut before anyone else has a chance to place a bid?
HOTA (horn of the abyss). Adds a new town as well. Look it up. The HOTA mod plus the HD mod both combine to give you a modern experience for bigger resolutions (lots of UI improvements and stuff, without affecting gameplay).

Heroes of Might and Magic 2.
I remember the first time I encountered the game in some obscure Italian magazine that had a disc and on the disc a demo of HoMM 2.
I played the demo, and I was blown away.
Then 1999, I got ahold of Heroes 3, then the expansions - Armageddon's Blade, Shadow of Death - so much fun and unforgettable memories.

Then in university, I discovered Wake of Gods [1]. This was a fan-made extension of the game that fixed some stuff ( like Eagle Eye being useful, fishing for artifacts in mana well's, having commanders ala heroes 4, having a bank from which you can loan money, etc.).

I play heroes 3 complete edition with HD Mod [2] to this day, a pretty awesome game, and still has an excellent, thriving community.

Honorable mentions besides Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Heroes of Might and Magic 4 (with all expansions) and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (all expansions - Tribes of the east). Heroes 5 is the closest to Heroes 3 as mechanics and gameplay, and I enjoyed it a lot.

To this day I play roughly 4-5 games: Dota 2, Civilization 5, Baldur's Gate 1&2 EE and Heroes 3.

The author’s suggestion to go to the government can work. In the 1960s, the president’s wife rallied support for a “Highway Beautification Act” to remove billboards from much of the federal highway system. It largely worked.
