This post is missing the key detail: is this person taking risks with 'the house's money' (high net worth, can generate passive income) or not? The answer is probably yes having spent that many years at fb, but I found the tone of 'I'll cut to the chase, I took a pay cut' disingenuous. The real questions is 'is this person already high net worth or not'.
Unlike 2008, there are multiple existential threats against the current status quo of the market--labor unrests and progressive movements, rising inflation that must be reduced, a fed committing to raising interest rates, antitrust busting that could/should tear apart the top S&P companies, and uber drivers giving folks stock advice. Smells like a crash to me.
But it's only a penalty for the "breadwinner", it seems to me for the other side it's a massive profit for a few years of marriage.
I'm not interested in what you claim to pay in taxes. UBI benefits aren't solely to a person's bank account; the benefits include a prosperous economy and stable political environment their bank operates in.

I expect to pay and continue paying a lot, yet the benefit is more than what I pay in taxes. What's better is that our current UBI is quite a bit above zero already, but the distribution is fraught with large costs in time. Re-organizing and streamlining UBI distribution would result in significant cost improvements to the current US welfare approach, and improve its impact.

My teenage daughter, whose fashion sense runs to the eclectic, gets basically all of her clothing second-hand online. She also wears a number of my old Hawaiian shirts that are still going strong after nearly 40 years of (admittedly occasional) use. So it is possible to source responsibly, but it helps if you don't set too much store by the judgements of the hoi polloi.

> but I still don’t get the use case for docker and containers and kubernets and and orchestration

For docker there's a simple motivating case: some services are difficult to configure securely with minimal permissions, and having a standard docker image provided by people who know what they're doing would be a big net win for security on the internet. There are a lot of poorly configured and insecure http server's out there. Think about how many vulnerable http servers are running on routers.

Ok, not good finding that link while suffering from such a terrible hangover from last night as I am right now.

I’ve been always concerned about alcohol and health, personally more on the cognitive side than the physical one. I’ve tried to “quit” many times but the thing is that absolutely every social event where I live (UK) involves alcohol in one way or the other. Is crazy how culturally accepted is around the world. You can see it everywhere and the campaign for normalizing its consumption is very obvious. I would definitely like to quit. Is a habit that has only given me bad things or directly nothing at all.

Anyways, I hope one day I’ll find a good balance between not drinking at all while not being seen as a weirdo when meeting with friends.

Flagging stories on the possible dangers of COVID-19 vaccines is extremely counter-productive for the goal of combating anti-vaccine narratives. It totally discredits the pro-vaccine narrative for many people, even if it shouldn't.
Haven't "things" been looking off to you?

I'm not an expert, farm from it, I'm just curious and I've been following some assets classes for some years now, and I have to say that some markets have been acting crazy for quite some time.

And the pattern I've noticed was the shift from a type of investment, to a gamble.

For example, the collectibles market became insane, like everyone - including kids - thinking they will make a bank on Pokemon cards. Try to buy some old Nintendo games - all of a sudden everyone became retro game players? Or they are just selling stuff to each other? Or maybe a new hoard of investors thinks they can gamble and make bank on older games?

Real estate market the same thing, the amount of people that became millionaires because their house got a bump of 50%+ in value... even companies were willing to pay a premium to get access to housing.

Stock market has been pushing through, with lots of gamble stocks popping.

Either a big portion of the people got financially educated over the past few years a lot more people are smart investors and this is all normal because it's the price people are willing to pay to play the game in the long run, and this is all solid and sustainable, or a lot of these things are just bloated.

1 percent of the world population is 78 million people, that is many, even if you try to make it seem small by using percent. Each of those people were a member of a family, a mother, brother, father, son or similar to someone.

But by your reckoning it's not many, and given Hitler killed 6 million Jews, which is a lot less than 78 million, he didn't kill that many either.
It is actually my thoughts on my past life and I fully agree here! Alcohol is making you boring, just because a lot of your energy wasting on consumption, stupid things and recovery, but alcohol left nothing in your life. Even memories.

And while you drinking, especially hard, it is hard build anything or implement your ideas - alcohol very often acts as “reset” button (at least in my case) and you not able to develop and maintain any complex idea for a long time - next party will wipe it out.
This is the right approach - take reasonable measures (masks indoors, public transport) - but start working back to normal.

Businesses are bending over backwards for people who choose not to vaccinate, they can choose to test. Vaccinated workers can’t choose not to test.
We didn’t waste two years - we developed a vaccine which the intelligent in the population have taken.

Some haven’t and are paying the consequences.
> Why […] would you vaccinate kids?

For the stated and proven reasons, the commonly known basis of vaccination: 1: It is much, much, much more dangerous to get COVID than the vaccine. 2: The immune response from vaccination is much more protective and much more consistent than the immune response from infection, especially with this disease.

This is known.

Also, established scientific knowledge lies counter to the statements you have as premise.

Also agree with the last part. I stopped drinking pretty much at the start of the pandemic, so two years in now. I noticed some differences after about two weeks, others after a month or so, but the took about 6-8 months before the full effects came in. One key change for me was the after 6-8 months, at about that point I stopped even thinking of drinking. It no longer took up any mental space and energy.
No, but it's hard to see a person having one and seen Facebook on the "good side" of a moral compass.

HN certainly helped me greatly when I was in the throngs of removing myself from my daily engagements with alcohol. Whenever I was at my worst I could come on and have a stimulating conversation with someone kind, took my mind off the physical and mental stress of detoxing. I thought about killing myself many times, but HN was always there to keep me excited about life. I owe a lot to this community, I'd go as so far as to say it contributed to saving my life given the path I was on.

I write a lot of Python, and I mostly agree. But some languages have fast compilers (like Nim and Go), or fast compilers and fast interpreters (like OCaml).

Last night I was playing with an OCaml Web framework called Dream [1]. The change-recompile-reload loops were fast enough that I never had to wait. (OCaml supports separate / incremental compilation, so the benefits tend to scale on larger projects.) It's not a silver bullet, but it might slightly change your mind about why you like dynamic languages. :)

I keep getting questionaires like this, usually from paying customers though. I never answer them because my licenses are way too cheap to bother with shit like this. And yet the companies keep using my software, despite the fact that I didn't answer their stupid vendor asessment forms.

At this point I wonder what these forms are good for? Why send them to vendors and waste people's time if you don't care about the answer anyway?
Sounds like a terrible idea to me. You have these minimal commitment relationships that are only incrementally extended. What happens when the commitment ends after you've had kids? The mother and kids are screwed since they have no legal recourse to get you to support them ("sucks to be you, we never got married so I don't owe you anything")?

A healthy society is predicated on strong families and minimal commitment relationships sound like a recipe for weak families.
As a younger man I was a bit overzealous about this, and having an "assertive personality" (as someone put it) it was mostly me putting the pressure on my drinking peers. On the hand, I was incredibly lucky to find likeminded friends as a student and we needed no extra substances to enjoy each others company, although, people seeing us constantly laughing would assume otherwise. It still puzzles me when people call other people friends but need a drink to relax and/or enjoy their company.
Thank you for the extra detail. I will add that PSC exerts plenty of pressure at terminal levels as well, since two halves of Meets Most rating are likely to end your career there. Lots of weasel words from leadership about how it's not an official policy, but it's near impossible to recover from given that at that point your manager's PSC depends on getting the low performer off the team.

Really curious how it works now with the cycle moving to annual cadence. I really doubt though that two years of Meets Most is going to be acceptable.

You are conflating an economist with a soothsayer.
The fun bit is that everything is 'overvalued' now - stock market, real estate, even crazy things (many parts of crypto such as NFTs, but also Pokemon cards and other collectables) are through the roof, where will all this money go? money out of a bubble has to go somewhere...

How far are we from the boomer generation leaving the market (one way or another)? This will create a lot of oversupply and negative pressure on prices I would assume - who will buy all their houses in the country, their share in the stock market? The answer to that is that we've been doing that already in the past decade with all the money printing / inflation / devaluation of wealth... not sure where the train stops and who will be left holding the bags.
I was looking at the fully vaccinated rates since that seems to be a lot more significant with Omicron and the U.S. has substantial lags but it does look like some of the variation comes from tracking the number of doses total without accounting for the difference between some people having 3 doses. It also looks like some of them are not accounting for the percentage of ineligible kids.

Here's the one I used, which shows full vaccination on 91.7% and partial at 93%:

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/covid-19-vaccine-trac...

Others have it around 80% so that's probably in error:

> To review, where do Rust and C++, these programming languages with their vastly different philosophies, Rust for the cautious, C++ for the fast and bold, stand? In the exact same place.

The author spent 1 page before this statement, and the whole article after it, explaining that this is not true, so the article is a big contradiction.

Rust and C++ are not "in the exact same place".

With Rust, you get bound checking by default. If, after profiling, you find that it is a performance problem somewhere, it allows you to elide it safely. In the programs I work on, 99% of the execution time of my program is spent in 1% of the code, and Rust optimizes for this situation. Instead of debugging segmentation faults due to performance optimizations that buy you nothing in 99% of the code, you can spend your time optimizing the 1% that actually makes a difference.

This is why Rust libraries are program are "so fast". Its not because of multi threading, or because rust programmers are geniuses, but rather because Rust buys these programmer time to actually optimize the code that matters, and in particular, do so without introducing new bugs.
That's the theory - we'll see how it holds up in practice. Shelter, transportation, energy, food, all that has gone up by 10 % last year, no end in sight. Looking forward to the 10 % raise, but the fear is that my institution will go out of business 5 years from now, because after the 2008 crisis people stopped having children, they couldn't afford it.
Data from public health scotland seems to agree.
(p.44) https://publichealthscotland.scot/media/11223/22-01-19-covid...

But we don't know for how long. And what is strange is that unvaxxed are doing better than double vaxxed.

So what will happen once the booster effects wane? Will it be better or worse than unvaxxed?
Vaccination can be a hardship if it causes adverse events. The long-term negative health effects of COVID infection in children are isolated to the high risk comorbidity group, including COVID induced myocarditis. Healthy kids who contract COVID do not develop myocarditis later. Meanwhile, healthy kids who get the vaccines are at a small risk of developing myocarditis with the risk being far higher than developing it from COVID.

I have two children and they are not getting any COVID vaccine unless a second generation one that is not experimental is developed. I don't want any shot developed during the Trump administration in a rushed federal program injected into my kids and you shouldn't either. They've already both caught the virus and had no symptoms whatsoever. We wouldn't have even known they had it if not for the fact that I had lost my sense of smell and got tested.

Children are at lower risk from COVID-19 than they are from influenza. That is the data and it might not agree with your priors but it doesn't change the fact that that is the data.

It should be noted that the second generation of the COVID vaccine is going to look nothing like the first. They are likely not going to use the same components of the virus that they did with the first generation because the spike protein payload has unintended consequences in some human beings. I acknowledge that this subgroup of human beings is a small minority but it happened to include my mother-in-law who is now dead after suffering cardiac arrest 4 hours after her second shot.

In case you think I am a nutty anti-vaxxer I assure you I am not. I firmly believe that my father is alive today because of the vaccine. He was in a high-risk category and I just don't believe he would have survived COVID infection if he had caught it. It's a great idea for people like him and people in his age group. Hell, it was a good idea for my mother-in-law, but unintended consequences are going to happen when you have a practically untested vaccine administered to a massive population. Both of them are at high risk from the virus. My children are simply not. People seem to be unwilling to admit that a vaccine developed for a rapidly evolving virus in 2020 isn't very effective in 2022. I don't know why this cognitive dissonance is so strong, but it's just the fact. It prevents hospitalization but not spread. That's a good thing, but it's a private health effect, not a public one.
So called anti-money laundering laws, which are properly described as warrantless financial surveillance laws, are an absolute travesty and violate the core principles of liberal democratic societies.

Historically, the state being required to obtain a warrant before conducting a search was seen as striking the right balance between the need to maintain reasonable checks on the power of the state, and the need to investigate crime. And in one summit, of the G7 in 1989, all of that was cast aside, as the FATF, and its global financial mass-surveillance mission, were instituted.

What's important to know about AML laws is that they are redundant; any incident of actual money laundering involves some underlying crime that generated the illicit revenue. To prove money laundering occurred, you need to prove that the underlying crime occurred.

In other words, any actual money laundering that is proven would land the party involved in prison, for the underlying crime.

But existing 'AML' laws do not require proving money laundering occurred. They only require proving that a person did not comply with the AML-related disclosure requirements, i.e. not complying with warrantless mass-surveillance. The crime being prosecuted is not surrendering privacy.

Ron Pol has written a paper that makes the case for AML laws being the least effective policy in history, and I strongly recommend any one who cares about maintaining a free society to read it:

> The whole “oh, we only need 3L of water per day and 500Wh is enough” lifestyle is unsustainable. I know, I’ve tried it, and I’ve seen many others go through it - you go gently mad spending your days managing your limited resources, and eventually give up.

So very true. I lived in a bus for almost 5 years. I've met tons of people in the vanlife/RV/off grid community. Both from my personal experience and observing others the biggest problems are limited resources and places to park. For a home on wheels you always need external resources. Fresh water needs replenishment, waste water needs dumping, trash disposal, etc. Having the largest resource capacity possible doesn't solve the issue but it makes it much less stressful.

It's highly romanticized by people who haven't experienced it. They think simple = easy but it's the opposite.

a) Yes, but raw is not so high quality.

b) Yes

c) Yes but if the hams are fungible, which the other commenter explained they are not, then doing this at volume would make the timing irrelevant.

d) Yes, or just pre-sell them to someplace that doesn't care about quality. Just has to be inside the EU since these are the hams that (you say) have not yet been to Norway!

Crossing the border a thousand times, carrying a ham each way each time, would probably be less efficient, unless you get tax breaks for your hourly employees, in which case you could also have a thousand employees on standby and do it relay-style.
