Pension funds a pyramid scheme, lol. Pension funds invest the money (not with high risk, but they can take some risks cause of the long tail) so you get more back than if you would save the money on bank. Even more so today than when banks still provided interest. They are also legally bound to have a minimum percentage of the funds, which is close to 100% (but not 100% which is OK since not whole population reaches retirement at same time).

Some people will claim they're better with investing and speculation. Great! Earn your bacon with it or make it your hobby for all I care. Some funny people will play the cryptocurrency game (no problem) and convince others to join the pyramid scheme (fuck that). Someone's always funding that as it is a zero sum game.
To me the key difference is in the way the propaganda is done.

Pro-CCP people are posting comments on the Internet to try to convince western people.

Pro-Russia people are paying celebrities of western countries to promote their culture, they are also creating news networks in the west to do the same.

USA is using the global western culture (Hollywood, singers...) to promote their agenda.

Since we're talking about torture, in the last two decades, the USA produced dozen of films or TV shows where torture is depicted as a necessary evil for the good guy to win over the bad guys. Just look at Jack Bauer.
They don't need to go an Twitter saying "no, that's not what happens, we're the good guys, see...", because in the mind of (almost) everyone, it's already accepted, since they saw a good guy doing it in a movie.

The propaganda machine from CCP is just not as evolved as the USA's, they are trying to catch up. But all in all, it's a same. It's just more obvious for the CCP guys because they haven't the right tools yet.
But given how they are investing in cultural services, I'm sure they will soon be better at it and we won't have those kind of discussion anymore.
It will not be "propaganda", but just people arguing against each other on topics on which their favorite state has different opinion.
Is Xcode vulnerable due to Log4j?
Stripped down in every way but the price tag, apparently. Minimalism is remarkably expensive.
> But the controller+inverter should be running if supplied with voltage from solar/wind/generator regardless of how the batteries are doing.

Most of them don't operate that way. They need the battery bank connected first, and run off the battery bank side, while controlling the panel side.

Some may tolerate that sort of recovery from deep discharge, but it's not a safe bet, and some controllers are pretty clear that if you connect the input side before the batteries, you'll damage the controller.

A dumb PWM controller stands a better chance of doing this, but something like an MPPT controller, unless it's explicitly designed to fail into a PWM configuration at low battery voltage, won't - they need power to drive the buck converter circuitry (the controlling ICs and oscillators and such) in order to get power out of the panels.
Good point. I guess that assistance would have been better off spent elsewhere so that those business would fail and the owners would re-enter the labor market. That would solve the labor shortage.

I have set up the same thing for myself and have been using it for several years now, so i’ll join in.

Aws ses has this offer where for a few thousand emails per month, email sending is free.

The steps are this:

1- Signup for aws ses, once you do that they’ll put you in a sandbox environment

2- After that they’ll ask you a few questions on why you need it, just tell them its because you’re a growing startup who expects to send thousands of emails per month, (make sure to say this, they don’t crosscheck later, if you dont say something along the lines of this, they usually reject your application to avoid having to serve small customers who might not scale their business later. )

3- After you’re approved, they provide you with a mail relay api key, just take that api key and attach it to your postfix or other smtpd installation

I use docker-mailserver[0] which packages everything I need for my mailserver into a small container and was good to go, it consumes minimal resources too.

For me, i just had to add the ses relay api key to the config file of my docker-mailserver install and it was all setup.

However you can do the same with any provider that gives you an option to act as your email relay, I remember both aws ses and sendgrid provide this service, but I’m sure there are more niche businesses providing this too.

This might be the most realistic depiction of an academic conference I’ve ever read. (the last two graphs):

Indeed, beyond accumulating DNA and virtual skulls, Larson’s greatest skill is in gathering collaborators. In 2013, he rounded up as many dog researchers as he could and flew them to Aberdeen, so he could get them talking. “I won’t say there was no tension,” he says. “You go into a room with someone who has written something that sort of implies you aren’t doing very good science … there will be tension. But it went away very quickly. And, frankly: alcohol.

“Everyone was like: You know what? If I’m completely wrong and I have to eat crow on this, I don’t give a shit. I just want to know.”
> Wanna learn how to drive in the snow? Tackle an unplowed, 45 degree hill littered with vehicles that didn't make it.

This isn’t great advice unless you want your insurance premiums to go up.

If you want to learn to drive in the snow, drive in the snow. Get a feel for your vehicle. Drive slower than you think you need to. Know your route ahead of time and avoid inclines if possible.

There was a time when candidates would get stuck on a problem and I would tell them "if you want, keep working on this problem and email me tonight with your work." Most people didn't follow up, but some people did, and we usually hired them. They usually had very high grit and follow through, but were unfortunately (as a rule) slower and generally worse at their jobs than other hires. We had to let one of these people go despite his excellent communication and organization skills. Today I can rely on a stronger recruiting pipeline so I don't need to make exceptions like this, but I'm not really sure if I would go back given the chance.

No matter how much grit you have, if it takes you 10 hours to do what everyone else is doing in 1 hour, you will struggle _a lot_ at your job.
This makes me nervous. The O2 peak at 60GHz. What are your opinions on it? If we get that peak of attenuation at 60GHz, what's happening to that energy?

Can we make a distinction between postings for different purposes, though? For example, commercial, political, and public education. Do a Coca-cola billboard, a sign advocating a piece of legislation, and a poster about the local library all get the exact same level of deference?

Technology is not there yet, far from it, and not just from the hardware side. And it may have some appeal for some tasks for i.e. artists and designers, but they are not the only ones that use computers, nor those are the only uses for computers.

Making sense of data and being able to turn into something meaningful for a VR display would need an army of people using normal computers, or AGIs, in the cases where that could be done, that may not be the most common case.
Free speech absolutism makes you seem sillier than you probably are.

If you go to an opera and you direct hate speech at the performers, is it a violation of free speech to ban you as punishment? Your use of speech is infringing on others' freedom and ability to conduct their business. It's not much different in football or any other sports.

Hate speech has a direct link to denying others' human rights and making it hostile for minorities or people under attack from hate speech to take part in society.

Is you best argument "what about cars"? Scooters are a problem because they go fast among pedestrians. Cars usually don't, and when they donit is usually labelled terrorism.

I think a good comparison is a bike:

Bikers usually stay either on the road or on a bike path. When they go in pedestrian zones, their rather bad manouverability make bikers go slow or get off.

Just one week ago I was hit by a scooter going over 20km/h in a crowded pedestrian zone. Shit like that has become common, whereas the number of times I have seen someone do that on a bike can be counted on one hand.

Most modern switch mode power supplies will run on DC, but you really, really want to jack the input DC up high unless you're a fan of replacing bridge rectifier diodes and other input wiring.

Active power factor correction circuitry will have a fit, but... eh, whatever. It's DC now, nobody cares!

A 120VRMS AC signal peaks around 170V, and most (not all, but most...) switch mode power supplies are auto ranging, so they'll tolerate from about 100VRMS to about 250VRMS - which is near 400V peak. If you can get 300+VDC into them, they'll be quite happy, but the boost converters to do that are a pain to find, and by the time you build one, you may as well just get a 120VAC inverter and call it good.

The main thing to be concerned about, and the reason to jack the input voltages about as high as you can, is that almost every switch mode power supply has a full bridge rectifier on the input side. From an AC input source, each diode has a 50% duty cycle. Put DC on it, now two diodes are at 100% duty cycle, two are at 0% duty cycle. How much overhead was there in the system? Well... you'll find out! However, a system capable of running and not overloading the diodes at 50% duty cycle at ~100VAC should be totally fine in terms of diode heating at 300VDC - just, perhaps not at 100VDC.

Have you tried a "dopamine" (see: habit/reward) fast?

I've found I can temporarily hard-reset my "go go go" inclinations, by starving my behavior-reward system of hyper-stimulus (i.e. anything modern; e.g. internet at all, media/music/video, books, rich food, comfortable things, things that I'm "moved" to do). It's basically a "monk" mode where you only surround yourself with relatively low-stimulus stimulus (for example, rich, complex, and tasteful meals would be replaced with bland, tasteless, only-whats-necessary-for-nutrition meals). And this would extend to every single thing in your life (by force), until your reward pathways have downregulated back to a more productive state.

I've found it helpful to do on days without medication (weekends), so at the very least I don't become a soulless robot over the years, and still retain some semblance of a personality (and individual choice).

> Isochronic Tones

I've been inadvertently doing this with Voicemeeter. You can activate "cross channel," and mess with the equalizer, so any sort of music you listen to has that same stimulating "wave" that keeps you in the loop.

On medication, it definitely stops me from hopping around, and going down dead-end alleyways.
Research is also useful -

The first key to effective snow driving is a light throttle and choosing the correct tyre. Driving in snow requires a tall tyre with a narrow section-width. This allows the tyre to cut through the crust and obtain traction on the hard surface beneath the snow (the opposite of sand tyres)...

> Did you go through all your education and training just to hit a certain number and call it quits?

Yes, I don't see what's so surprising about that. Most people do the same but instead of being an amount of money, it's an amount of years, or an amount of money that you will get more slowly.

> In some ways I don't get the "financially independent" life. Sure, you're no longer absolutely needing to have a job. But what do you do with the rest of your life? You're just retired at 50? With what to challenge / strive for?

Whatever you want, that's the point. If you want to spend all day in your bed, you can. If you want to go very deeply on one topic, you can. If you want to surf HN all day you can. If you want to give time to charities you can. You can even go back to work if you want to!

> Maybe I'm just fortunate in that I don't mind working / find some fulfillment from it, and don't have a burning desire to sit around with no activities for 5 days a week.

> What takes the place of work?

Your comment seems to asume that working is a natural state and that you need an opposite "burning desire" to not want to work. I personally don't get much fulfillment from work. It's nice and all but I'd rather not do it. In a way it's like washing the dishes: sometimes it feels a bit good to do it, and most people need to do it, but if I can get a dishwasher, I'd rather get one and use one.
Yes I have done this in my 40s: Go to a coding boot camp. Sure, you will be possibly the oldest one there, but do it. Do the work, stay humble. Choose a focus (front end, full stack, backend) and sharpen on the latest tech.

I went in-person, but remote learning could work. I highly recommend choosing somewhere where there is code peer-reviews and instructor reviews. Self-learning is harder than it looks when you have a family.

When I recently was hired, I noted they specifically wanted cloud programmers, not local desktop programmers. Therefore, make sure you choose a bootcamp that works with Heroku or AWS or Vultr, etc, to get that exposure.

Also, consider going to local meetups that focus on coding (meetup.com or other channels). Listen to what they're talking about and what the latest trends are. Some even offer mentorships.

You can do it. (And after you've done it, help others.)
WTF! It's your job to find people who can do the work. It is NOT the applicant's job to fit your preferred interview design. Talk about arrogance!
Chances are you’re already compromised eitherways , most mailservers interact with you over STARTTLS, which means any middleman/isp can strip your tls encryption on your emails, midway while you’re reading them over imap. (ISPs worldwide have been caught doing this before)

Most providers do not mandate a strong SSL only imap system.

Along with other similar caveats, do not depend on your mail system to keep your emails private.

If you want privacy, encrypt your emails yourself.

Also most people who selfhost their email usually do not encrypt data at rest. As its not the default norm. As such anyone having access to your disk can compromise you at anytime too (especially likely if you’re using a vps).

So, unless youre encrypting your emails yourself E2E. Assume you have no privacy.
If you’re doing E2E, aws cannot decrypt your mails anyways.
I'm a big believer that you can make a lot of money starting a business and only ever selling to "friendlies" (your known network)

That said, business value goes up exponentially when it earns the First Dollar, a sale to someone with no existing connection to tue company or anyone in it. Very rarely is First Dollar sale so unique or edge-casey that there aren't dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of prospects that have the same problem and would buy for the same reasons.

TLDr - if you want to make some money start by selling to friendlies. If you want to validate a business that may be able to grow by leaps and bound, focus on the first dollar.

There are some cities and places that do reduce intrusive real life advertising by banning billboards for example, or putting up a billboard tax to reduce them and divert the visual pollution cost into the city budget. Same with regulations reducing the loudness of audio ads, or banning them, or changing how storefronts can put their names up. That is more like a HOA regulating what kind of house style you can have although. It's definitely possible!
