If you look at what financial advisors suggest, it is to take around 4% of your net worth per year as income. Some suggest a little more, some a little less, but that's the ballpark.

4% of $150k is 500 dollars a month. Would you retire on that? I wouldn't. Could you retire on that?

I know a guy who is retired and gets $600 a month Social Security. His heat is out right now, his furnace died. It's single digit temps right now, he's got space heaters going. He's trying to get the furnace fixed, if it has to be replaced, it's going to be $15k.

How is that going to happen? Me and his family probably, we've got him, but for people that don't have that?

No, people in the US don't retire early with $150k unless there is no other reasonable choice.
Raising prices, especially for B2B, is almost always the right thing to do. People used to chuckle at my pricing, which made them think I wasn’t serious. Until people start complaining about the price, it needs to go higher. You are probably providing much more value to people than you realize.
I was just listening to his audiobook.
That video shows poor technique, it's the arms/hands that should hover over the keyboard, in one motion.

Stretching the fingers for reaching a given key is bad, Dvorak masks this by minimizing travel, which is simply a workaround / optimization for the wrong thing that long-term will result in the same problems (simply delayed a few years).

I could use an intentionally bad keyboard layout and it wouldn't matter. Arms are designed to be moved.
If the president was trying to "punch up" with respect to national and international policy, I would totally agree with you.

But consider the moment right now. Do you think that if President Biden were to satirically mock Jeff Bezos about wealth, space travel, employee care, or putative drone delivery, that he would actually be punching "down" from the white house? I certainly don't think so.
I switched after developing hand injuries at work (in a job that didn't involve computer use). Since then, whenever I've had to use QWERTY for whatever purpose I've started getting pain in my tendons after a few hours which goes away almost as soon as I'm able to switch back to Dvorak. Like you, though, I found that picking up Dvorak was a total pain in the ass. A while ago I saw a YouTube video in which a guy was telling his viewers that learning it was easy and that the effort was a small price to pay. When I commented that I had had a period of months when I couldn't type anything spontaneously, he suggested that maybe this was due to my age. I was all of thirty at the time I learned it.
Shrug. This happens all the time, for every state or location, including California.

Oh sheesh. No one said anything about Bitcoin miners voting. I was simply pointing out that centralization of mining power (which has already happened in Bitcoin) has essentially the same security impact as centralization of wealth in proof of stake consensus mechanisms.

Also, Qectel modems run Linux on one of the chips on the modem:

I couldn't have said it better myself. I've been on the legacy account for a decade and giving us a couple months to migrate is a slap in the face.

I don't want anyone to think that this is just a bunch of people who are upset about paying. I'm not upset about paying. I'm upset about Google promising something and then pulling the rug out from under us. I have multiple Google Workplace accounts for my actual businesses and at the moment I believe I spend $3k-$4k USD per year on all the accounts. My legacy account was used as a family account. After this ordeal, I'm probably switching all my paid workplace accounts to Zoho, Office365 or another provider. Maybe this is the kick in the butt I needed to degoogle my life?

It’s a good habit to always use tools like terraform for cloud or Ansible/Salt/Puppet for machines instead of directly doing something.

441 nuclear reactors have been operating flawlessly for over a decade.

Fascinating choice of timeframe: "over a decade".

How about going back just one more year. We can find multiple nuclear reactors blowing themselves up quite spectacularly on TV:

Over the following three weeks there was evidence of partial nuclear meltdowns in units 1, 2 and 3: visible explosions, suspected to be caused by hydrogen gas, in units 1 and 3; a suspected explosion in unit 2, that may have damaged the primary containment vessel; and a possible uncovering of the Spent fuel pools in Units 1, 3 and 4.

It’s because of water access, and Ohio basically bent over backwards to give Intel anything they wanted, included long-term sabotage of its own tax base in exchange for promises of jobs and other benefits. Ohio was the lowest, most pliant bidder.

But the emacs keybindings work flawlessly :-)

Back when I was still an intern, I noticed that i was getting wrist pain and was instantly worries about getting carpel tunnel later so I went out and got a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard.

I've since stuck with them and one of the things that I love about them is how they force you to use more of your fingers because it restricts what keys each hand has access to. I found that the way I typed changed, the 't', 'g', 'r' and 'f' keys I could no longer reach over with my left hand and vice versa for the other hand. This meant I had to switch my how I typed which inevitably switched which fingers I used to hit some fingers and forced me to use more of my hand for the typing (the "smear" as you call it)
One day I hope either ddg becomes good, or a good alternative pops up.
> UBI, which will also make all economic models obsolete too

But how would you decide how much to give through UBI next year? How inflation will change in response? How many people will still be needed in jobs?

You still need a model, because the world is changing, and a model helps you understand how.
Two phase commit requires a coordinator.

If the coordinator goes down, the system makes no progress.

If the coordinator sends inconsistent commands (e.g., commit to one resource and abort to another), it's not serving its purpose.

So in a system using two phase commit, your availability is limited by the availability of the coordinator.

If the coordinator is a single server, you have a single point of failure in a distributed system.

If you try using multiple servers to increase the availability of the coordinator, you risk sending inconsistent commands -- unless you implement a consensus system within the coordinator.

Paxos and Raft let you combine the availability of multiple servers while still letting them behave consistently. (This is the "consensus problem", and correctly solving it is notoriously tricky).

>>Once a smart contract is included in a block, it has finished executing and is irreversible. The transaction is irreversible, again, by definition.

The transaction is irreversible, in the sense that it can't be removed from the blockchain, but the transfer from person A to person B can be made reversible, via a smart contract that doesn't allow person B to withdraw from the smart contract for a duration, during which time person A can effect a reversal transaction that would effectively undo the transfer.

>>So you're no longer using a blockchain.

In my example, you are using the blockchain in all cases. You are just using smart contracts in a way that reduces some of disadvantages of naive blockchain use (e.g. allowing a consumer to dispute a fraudulent charge) while giving up some of its advantages (e.g. reduced risk of charge backs for honest merchants).

> these tanks

> those solar panels

> these batteries

The problem with these "self-sufficient" narratives is they're always tethered to industrial society. Having the limit of your understanding be a "solar panel" is no different than it being a wall socket. The "world" itself here, the boat in this case, is manufactured in a factory.

That's not to say I don't also find this stuff interesting, but don't confuse being able to hold your breath a long time for having gills. I find free diving fascinating, but there is no need in that community to claim that they have found a way of living free from the constraints of air breathing.
In General Relativity (which is the theory we have to use if we're talking about black holes), gravity is not a force, it's spacetime curvature. The spacetime curvature at any point in spacetime depends only on the matter in the past light cone of that point. Heuristically, "gravity" travels at a finite speed in GR. But there is matter and energy everywhere in the universe, so there is spacetime curvature everywhere; there is no place you can go to "escape" from its effects.

So thinking of gravity as a Newtonian "attraction over infinite distance" doesn't really work in GR, but neither does thinking of it as a "force" with a finite range. It works differently from either of those.
They have been trying that for awhile, legacy accounts have not been getting some of the new feature, space was more limited on the legacy accounts than the paid accounts, and a few other things.

Most of us however we perfectly fine with the limited on the accounts... in reality if they just gave me the exact same level of service as they do the free gmail but with a custom domain I would be fine / happy. That is after all what the original service I signed up for was in the beginning.

I have no interest in Google Workspace, I want Gmail, Drive, and Identity. That is it. Maybe Photos... All of which they offer free to everyone still today just not with a custom domain
> Its interesting the level of paranoia Americans felt about the USSR

Entire financing of military-industrial sector relied on this myth.

It was intentionally manufactured and promoted.

When USSR collapsed, top people in USA were shocked, dissapointed and unsure of the future. Fortunately terrorists popped up, so militay industrial complex got new easy lease on life by spinng them into existential threat pretty much the same way it did with USSR before.

But now terrorist narrative petered out and USA is in trouble again. China is obvious next narrative target. However China is actually dangerous economically and in military way. USA doesn't want to pick a narrative enemy it will eventually actually loose to irl.

I think recent actions of Putin create a great opportunity for doing business as usual.
An old Wacom Intuos 3.
> for points that are separating faster than the speed of light due to inflation gravity couldn't alter that space.

This is not correct. The effects of inflation on spacetime geometry are a form of "gravity" as far as GR is concerned. They're just not a form of "gravity" that you could ever get out of the Newtonian approximation.
I think "lock-in" is a terrible term.

You can avoid all lock-in by ignoring all sorts of proprietary features of any vendor, and leave ENDLESS benefits and optimizations on the table for the hypothetical likelyhood that you might one day have to "free yourself".

Conversely, if you embrace those things wholeheartedly, and at some point find yourself wanting to break the relationship and do a full egress migration, even if your costs end up monumental, I would bet anything that over the time you were "locked in" you will have gained more from that cloud than whatever "one-time migration costs" you have to pay.

If your core business proposition is literally something like storage (e.g. Dropbox) where with time you will want to vertically integrate your whole technology stack rather than relying on a 3rd party, yeah avoid lock-in.

If you have a frivolous C-suite that will want to change cloud providers every 24 months depending on what discount they can negotiate on the golf course, yeah avoid lock-in.

Everyone else? Throw that word out from your vocabulary, and embrace the idiomatic capabilities of your cloud vendor.

How can people not hate him though?
He is so full of shit and all his projects are a joke. He stole Tesla from its true founders and made it about self driving hype. He keeps making non sense claims about it and how it’s 1 year ahead. He generally can’t help coming up with more and more stupid ideas.
I could just ignore him, but now everyone believes his bullshit even supposedly smart people on HN, and we keep hearing about futuristic revolution non sense such as hyper loop, underground taxi services, mars colonisation, rocket mass transportation, and now that star link is going to be a 12 in 1 techno marvel, best telescope, best gps, best internet provider, best weather instrument, a supercomputer, etc. Have no one heard about the fact that things that are to good to be true probably are? Elon seem to have achieved global alienation with his pseudo scientific scams and humanity is walking on its head supporting mars colonies and throwing 40000 satellites every 5 years, because we can. Meanwhile the earth is warming up and inequalities in the world is at its worst. But spoiled fans of grandiose science fiction (seemingly everyone) want moar of this giga star hyper AI sexy non sens. He is the Donald trump of the silicone valley, he represents everything that is wrong with the modern world. The car he sent to space was the car that was promised to Tesla true founder after he kicked him out. It was just a multi million dollar middle finger to the guy he stole from. Give me a break. Hope you enjoyed that nuanced take on the Elon situation.
The google scraping bot gets past the pay walls in many cases
It isn't so much about whether "Google cares" or otherwise. There are a lot of sites and a lot of vested interests trying to game their search rankings, and a huge number of keywords that the game is playing out in.

Sometimes low quality sites will have the advantage and sometimes high quality sites will have the advantage. Google is working with a bias to high quality, but they are fighting a broad fight against persistent opponents. Every so often Google does a big algorithm refactor to try and make life hard for these sort of sites.
> Is it even possible for a black hole (or any stellar body) to form without angular momentum?

In principle, yes. In fact, one of the earliest papers on black holes was the one by Oppenheimer and Snyder in 1939 that derived an explicit solution for the case of perfectly spherically symmetrical (i.e., exactly zero angular momentum) collapse to a black hole.

In practice, any blob of matter is most likely going to have some angular momentum, and it's unlikely that it will shed all of it if it collapses to a black hole, so we would expect black holes without any angular momentum at all to be rare. But there could be significant numbers of them that have small angular momentum compared to their mass.

The iPad Pros with lightning (except the 9.7") support USB 3. The connector can already do it and Apple brand USB C to Lightning cables support it if the device does, in addition to the USB 3 camera connection kit. They just haven't bothered either because they feel the space of a USB 3 controller is better served elsewhere or they just don't care.
