We used to have a popular children song that contained the line "A child below the equator will often become a beggar". The intention was good, the song was recorded to help poor African people, which in my mind were always starving and had flies on their face.

I'm glad they changed that sentence and that sparked a lot of awareness but it's crazy how you can just grow up and think this is normal, in retrospect. As a child I was really like "How can you not feel those flies!". Crazy right?

I still wonder if they know it's Christmas time over there, since it never snows there (yeah, facepalm every year around Christmas indeed)...

Yes, Christmas, that party that I thought was normal, but hey, it turns out that the religion my culture is largely based on is pretty unique in acknowledging Jesus as THE prophet and there were multiple and we're fighting over this. Crazy. And we ate matzes around easter [0], and that is a tradition from the jews (who ate them fleeing from Egypt to the promised land), and with whom we share half our sacred texts, but they wanted Jesus dead in the end and apparently the promised land already had some inhabitants I learned later. I dropped it all btw, the religion and I really hope a lot of prejudice as well, although I wont pretend I'm free of it.

It's not a political office. They aren't "supposed to be liberal or conservative." They are supposed to apply the law as best they can given their experience.
Thanks!

I definitely agree with this. I feel fortunate to have met a few people that seem like they could be a great fit, but we are still early.

It takes time and working together to really ensure a great cofounder pair.

The experiment will continue!

My friend is literally a family farmer, and all she grows is corn and soybeans, in heavily-mechanized monoculture, with all the fertilizer and pesticides you'd expect. It seems like who exactly owns the farm doesn't bear much on what is the most profitable thing to do with the farm.

But this is a world I'm not very familiar with and I'd like to hear from people who actually know what they're talking about.
>Interesting. I had assumed that the difference between state of the art fabs and older fabs was that state of the art fabs can make smaller things, and perhaps more geometrically complicated things, but that they don't have to. If they wanted to make a design that only uses bigger things and simpler geometry they could.

>Where does this assumption break down?

Why would they want to? There is heavy and overbooked demand for the 'smaller and complicated things' that make more money, and add the extra cost of the design to make the 'bigger and smaller' things, and it's a no brainer.
The rise of AB testing and releasing often is probably somewhat to blame. It turns out that if you have a good, popular product that you can push your users to their limits. I've seen so many tests that resulted in lower NPS scores but increased usage, revenue, and other metrics.

This is somewhere along pathologic narcissistic behavior. Quit or get him fired through his boss. When you work with narcissist, especially if they are your superior, they will destroy your life. So do yourself a favor, know when to spot them and act.

"Came back to haunt him" is probably a good summary.

It's also much easier to believe bad things about someone if one has a foundation of lesser issues to build upon, and undeniably a lot of people had negative stories to say (and I'm not even going about the infamous foot episode)
Exactly. The poster's "Blood taxes" -- ownership consensus through escalating violence -- is reminiscent of PoW schemes which establish a distributed consensus through escalating hashrate.
[untitled] | Senior Software Engineers | Los Angeles or Remote (US) | Full-time

There are very rare moments in history when we see a new product that leads to a paradigm shift in how people create. We saw it with the invention of the tube paint. We saw it with the invention of the camera. And you could say that we've recently seen it with Google Drive for the workplace, Figma for design, and Github for software development.

Yet in music, we haven’t seen a tectonic shift in how ideas are drafted and created since the introduction of digital multi-track recording in the 1980s. [untitled] is creating that next moment in history. We’re building the simplest and most delightful way for artists to listen, share, and nurture their works-in-progress (WIPs). To put simply, we’re the Figma for music.

We’re looking for generalist engineers with strong CS fundamentals to join our tight-knit team. Our tech stack is React Native (mobile), Electron (desktop), and React (web), all mostly using TypeScript. Our backend is all serverless (Firebase). The ideal candidate has built and shipped products using something similar to our stack and loves music as much as we do.

Our team is made up of product-minded artists and seasoned technologists, who all share the same passion for well-crafted software and music. We’re well-funded by pioneering investors at General Catalyst and we’re working with some of the most cutting-edge artists on the planet.

Interested? Shoot me (I’m Alex the CTO) an email at alex@untitledinbrackets.com; I’d love to chat and tell you more.
People on hacker news are extremely naive at career management. This is all the worst advice I have ever seen in my life.

If you complain about your boss in any way, and it isn’t fatal and you have no other plan, you are going to get targeted for destruction in 95% of work environments.

The fantasy that “Upper Management” somehow cares about your problems and are benevolent gods is often not a good assumption.

Furthermore, there are a lot of downsides to having peers. Unless you are the hiring manager and you need these people to get things done, why do you care at all?

Some of the happiest moments in my career came from when I was the only one doing the work. Those moments often ended when peers joined, took over parts of the work then started competing with me.

I have learned that peers are mostly competition.

If you are happy, have no competition, have a pay check - Why would you spend a single instant wanting to report your boss and screw up your life.

If you are happy, just be happy. It isn’t your job to save the company and be the hero.

you get absolutely nothing in return for complaining. What do you win here if you are successful? Do you want your boss’ job?

Not OP, with a s Corp it is not completely tax free. Money past 54k would be handled differently and free of payroll taxes.
Not everyone's interested in becoming swingers.
By coincidence I just asked myself the same question and made it my holidays project. I installed El Capitan on my mid-2014 MBP (it does support Big Sur but it was unbearably slow & laggy and battery runtime was not good), and it seems a 2010 mac mini should be capable to run El Capitan too.

Why El Capitan? Because the most current Chrome requires El Capitan (Mavericks does not work). Actually I use ungoogled-chromium. While it might seem super dangerous to connect to the internet because of security, I took some measures:

On my Router (Fritzbox, but any other quality router will do):

- Isolate that device to "Guest" WiFi so it can only connect to the internet, not other devices in my LAN (works by Mac Address Filtering)

- Do not allow unknown MAC Addresses to connect to WiFi at all for all my home network

- Only allow outgoing ports 80/443 TCP and 53 UDP on the Mac, refuse all incoming connections (its NAT anyway but just to be sure)

- Disable UPnP for that device

When using the device:

- Never use ANY login/private data on that device (see exceptions below)

- Never enter any private data, so no social media, email, iCloud etc. just plain surfing

- I strictly only use AirDrop from my modern Mac or a readonly SDcard to copy files ONTO it (Movies, Music, Ebooks, Podcasts), never download or copy the other way around.

- The only Applications I installed are ungoogled-chromium (plus ublock origin) and VLC

I use it to watch (offline) movies, music podcasts and sometimes Netflix. Additionally I connect my E-Piano with a piano learning website to it over USB (Benefit is I can use GarageBand instrument library with it). For those two websites the passwords are strictly unique. When not in use, I always do a full shutdown (no sleep).

I know that a super-dedicated and driven hacker might - with lots of work - use the device as attack vector, but I mostly think this is a highly unlikely event. Especially since it is way easier to compromise servers with log4shell right now :)

Edit: Btw it is super easy to downgrade, just hold CMD+Option+Shift+R on powerup, and the internet recovery will install the macOS version the device shipped with. Then go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 and download the full OS as a simple .pkg file on another machine, copy to SDcard and start installation.

One huge help here is uBlacklist, which has filter lists for search engine results. Of course, the Chrome version will be crippled more as Google feels the knife in its revenue artery, so FF is advised!

I agree, but can our flavour of democracy actually(!) accomplish such things in a reliable manner?
Why not try writing a search engine specifically
for some category dominated by SEO spam?

I like to compare search engine results and wrote this tool to make it easy:

> The extra real isn’t really part of the definition of the point in space though

It actually is. It's generally assumed to be equal to one, but it need not be.

> isn’t necessary to store to apply a 4x4 matrix

...if you assume it is equal to one, yes.

However, actually representing the fourth component is both mathematically sound and occasionally useful. For example, the midpoint of two affine points, such as (1, 2, 3, 1) and (3, 6, 9, 1) is actually just their sum: (4, 8, 12, 2), which represents the same 3D point as (2, 4, 6, 1). The fourth component can also be zero, in which case you describe a point at infinity in the given direction.

But yes, if you only use homogeneous coordinates for chaining 3D transformations, storing the extra component it pointless.
Depends how many times you're gonna add two numbers though, right?
So still an LLC, but it is taxed like an S-Corp when this election is made. This allows an owner working in the business to be an employee and take a reasonable salary. W2 income is subject to FICA taxes, but all the other profits in the business pass through to the owner as usual for an LLC, but aren't subject self employment tax or FICA. You still pay regular income tax though. This is all at a federal level.
Dunno what but do it through your Roth IRA and HSA since that is right around the limit for both.
> And boy would Google find it hard to follow you down that road.

This is a good perspective. Where can Google not go? Places that don't lead to profit. They will try (cough Wave cough) but will give up.
I spent 300$ on an NFT and I regret it
There’s always so much disdain for non-technical co-founders in these discussions, but I think that’s too facile a conclusion.

While it’s true technical people have a higher floor and can’t get by on bullshit, many strong technical people are terrible founders for a variety of reasons.

However building a successful startup requires a certain kind of hustle and resourcefulness that is not limited to technical folks. We shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water due to all the “idea guy” wannabes flooding the space. Someone who can sell, someone who can hustle, someone with strong charisma and story-telling skills—these are incredibly valuable traits that can form an amazing complement to a technical founder that wants to focus on building.
Their propaganda^W PR fluff about the weight of gold recycled from iPhones has a line that triggered my bullshit alarm: "2204 lbs of gold" [1]. This has been regurgitated by news media[2] as "more than 2204 lbs of gold" without them doing any more fact-checking.

1000 kg is 2204.62262[...] lbs. For them to put the exact number "2204" smells like someone told them "about 1000kg of gold" and whoever wrote that report just converted that to "2204 lbs". And since it's a rounding down, they can claim "More than 2204 lbs". Apple not knowing how significant figures work and giving out a number that was probably a guess to be an exact figure? That's why the alarm I mentioned above got triggered.

[1] https://www.huffpost.com/entry/apple-ton-of-gold-recycling_n... has a link to Apple's PDF: http://images.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_... where you can search for "2204".

I am all for being like the bonobos but you forgot to describe some important details...
> It's not a political office.

Yes, it is.

It's not a popularly elected office, but then, neither is the Presidency. Certainly, every officer directly appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate is political, legal terms of art about the two “political branches” notwithstanding.

>it’s not catastrophic… it’s just shitty

This is because drivers are giving 100% attention to monitoring the car in these scenarios. So again, this means the tool is useless (right now it is), or if the driver stops paying attention and becomes an unfocused passenger (the actual point of self-driving) then the tool becomes absurdly deadly.

Everywhere along this spectrum, as attention declines, catastrophic risk goes up. Self driving is vapor ware at best, a scandal at worst. It's not going to end well.
I haven't had to take a dump on an airplane in years.

My rule is to eat and drink as little as possible before a flight, ideally not eating at all. If I do eat, hopefully it's high protein and low in fiber. As a result I usually don't need to use the lavatory, which is nice because it has made me much less apprehensive about getting a window seat.

I wish more people had this mindset. On so many flights I've had, seemingly half the plane is ready to take a shit. My only explanation is that they're overnourished on the Standard American Diet. Imagine how much less waste would have to be pumped out of airplanes.
Effectively the M1 CPUs couple a Raspberry 2 with a Raspberry 4.

Balancing what runs on what cores you can shut off the Raspberry 4 when you don't need it, which is most of the time as the GPU carries a heavy load.

Try watching a MP4 movie on your iPhone 4 and you'll see that allready back then all the heavy lifting was taken off the CPU = battery barely drained at all after 1 hour of video.

This is much less magic than the 5nm that basically offer very little Gflops/W benefit over the Raspberry 4 28nm.
They said invested, not stock market. That means bonds, precious metals / commodity ETF, mutual funds / stock market, the whole shebang.

If your emergency funds are 100% stock market instead of diversified investments you're doing it wrong.

If you don't trust electronic systems to stay on-line in a crash then your hedge is probably not USD but other assets, like canned goods / water filter / ammo / hard assets in your personal custody.
> As an interviewer though, there were a few instances where I just told people "let's do this problem anyway, don't worry" and the candidates didn't always do a good job.

This is what I've done as an interviewer. But then, my questions actually lend themselves to that. Something that the sample LeetCode questions just don't.

In my experience (as interviewer) LeetCode kind of questions are "gotcha" kind of tests: Either you know "the trick" or you don't, but there's no real constructive value.

In contrast, I prefer tests like let's write a Tic-Tac-Toe, Snake, Twitter-clone (no DB in memory), etc. in 30/60 minutes together in your computer with your IDE, your software, google and language of choice. I am able to do a quick coding session with the person, see her weaknesses and strengths, and even if he has done it before, looking at his real project coding style is super useful.
S Corp profit is pass through, so you pay taxes on it. But it is not employment income, so no self-employment tax on top of regular income tax.

This is from a fashion photography perspective. I've start taking photos for over 5 years. I slowly gained recognition in my area and a lot of agencies, models, industry people, etc. started to recognize my name. I've stopped because I had a bit of burnout, and Covid stopped me from taking photos of people with a team.

To start gaining recognition, you need to start producing a ton of work, a ton. You also have to think critically about your work and constantly look to improve. Look at a ton of art for inspiration. Basically look at a lot of art, and produce a lot of art.

Then you need to start showing off your best work everywhere, be active in all the social media, create a Website, etc.

If your stuff is good enough, you will start getting recognition. It won't be overnight. These days, especially with social media, there are tons of work of every kind. You need to have both quantity and quality (maybe even gimmicky) to stand out.

Also, start networking with other people in the industry. In my genre, I reached out to makeup artists, stylists, models, other photographers, etc.
> Lots of people want to be amateur police. (pg)

This is very true. How many times have I clicked on a site met with ads so bad that the browser slows down, and after 10 seconds the page gets covered up by more and more crap and then a paywall shows up sometimes too. Now here's the thing - a competitor to Google might detect you clicking back and then pop-up a special set of controls near the search result that lets you say: "too many ads" or "paywall".

However, if such an engine were to start beating Google, I'm sure Google would implement it in their own way: automatically detect why you clicked back in such a short timespan.
The funny thing is that if the people who worked on spam at Google were free to talk about it, I'm sure it would become evident that they know more about spam and anti-spam efforts than anybody else in existence. It's a ridiculously hard problem, especially when people are targeting you directly. But they aren't free to talk about it, because if they did it would just give more assistance to the spammers, and make the problem worse.

I'm not saying that curated search results for particular verticals is a terrible idea (though I'm sure like anything the devil is in the details), but on the whole Google search is very, very good considering the constant assault they are under from spammers (which most other search engines are not, at least directly).
