The lower the asset drops, the more you can write off when you do it. So it’s best to wait until the asset is the lowest that you think it will go. Of course you could mistime it
It can be. There’s a bunch of windows-specific and “this was a mistake to build” APIs that aren’t available in modern .NET. And for good reason! The big legacy .NET Framework apps all inevitably use some of them. I got a good taste of this when building the try-convert tool, and that was only focused on converting project files and package references.
Eat fish which are on bottom of the food chain - sardines and sprat are low in organic mercury but high in omega3 fatty acids.

https://www.foodwatch.org/fileadmin/Themen/Quecksilber/Queck...

This says the tolerable weekly intake for methylmercury is 1.6 μg per kg body weight per week. For a 200 lb man that is 80 milligrams of shark meat (p95 1835 mg/kg) or 11 lbs of sprat (p95 0.029 mg/kg) or 2.9 lbs of sardines (p95 0.112 mg/kg).
You certainly can't believe everything you read on the internet, but apparently Zelenskyy met with Erik Prince who was up to his war profiteering self-serving crap. Zelenskyy subsequently aggressively moved forward with a plan to produce Turkish government manufactured drones (the ones you now see advertised in the war-media) and associated munitions within Ukraine, starting off with the purchase of a dozen for USD$70M (~USD$6M each).

https://www.voltairenet.org/article215489.html https://time.com/6144109/russia-ukraine-vladimir-putin-vikto... https://time.com/6076035/erik-prince-ukraine-private-army/ https://www.businessinsider.com/erik-prince-had-pitched-10-b...

Even though I am inclined to believe he is the lesser of two evils, it would seem that this war is in part being used as an advert for those munitions (see multiple videos released in the last 2 days from the drones). The Turkish OEM https://baykartech.com/en/uav/bayraktar-tb2/ was founded by Selçuk Bayraktar, an MIT graduate returnee who married Turkish president Erdogan's youngest daughter in 2016. Its apparent exclusive armament is the Turkish government's own Roketsan brand munition https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/mam-c-smart-micro-mu... A UK entity accused Bayraktar of cloning their munitions rack design (the company denied the claim), and an Austrian motor manufacturer accused the company of redirecting their 100HP recreational aviation motors to military use.

I'd be interested to read more from a local about any public statements and private funding and control around those deals. While he's certainly the lesser of two evils in this conflict, history shows us the politicians are often not as clean as they like to make out, it's not out of the question that Zelenskyy or his cronies could have an undeclared private stake in the business and thus be personally profiting from the war and its aftermath.
This should put to rest the notion that we can't afford some social or societal program.

I'm trying to figure out how this reply was intended and failing, it seems like it is based on something other than what I meant to say though, so I'm just going to re-iterate my point in case it wasn't clear.

I wasn't suggesting that anyone was considering seizing assets of ordinary Russians. I was suggesting that Russia might choose to seize the assets of non-russians, and that this move might be to keep that option open. This suggestion was based off of reporting that they are considering doing exactly that

I'm having trouble finding a well known and neutral outlet reporting on it, so [1] is the american propaganda outlet version, and [2] is the Russian propaganda outlet saying the same thing (which I would usually avoid linking to since they lie left right and center, but it does make the point that Russia really is threatening this).

Even your pragmatic issues have a strong cultural component. There are quite a few important projects that on my team that we could afford to have take 20% longer. It's more important they have a good result than they arrive as soon as possible. We also have some projects we need done ASAP, which would naturally fall to a full-timer.
Because no one else has a say. Seems like all groups should have a say, including teachers, students, and parents.
Great idea. I'll get in touch.
On the contrary, services are where Apple has been spending a lot of focus, for better or for worse.
Nothing much changed today. The russian special forces are getting wrecked and we knew the reg force troops would convoy behind. The reg forces will take tremendous losses against general mobilization. Their morale is bad now? oh man...

Dare I say, Russia is losing this? The Russian troops are much trashier than expected and/or there's some serious proxy war going on right now. Zelensky is for sure being coached by some serious folks.

Today I saw a ton of russian propaganda that didn't even make any sense. It makes me think Russia was given some pretty serious false impressions about what they started.

When the aggressor starts talking peace after only a few days of complete failure... They screwed up pretty big and they know it.
Then they still have to take them. Russia's having trouble with the first step. Some of the other steps are going to require facing off with all of NATO. That's going to be harder.

China may be able to take Taiwan. First they have to get enough stuff across the straight. That's not easy. To do it, they have to own the sea and the air, which means that they have to have disabled most of the American assets within hundreds of miles. That's not easy either.

They can form the agreement (the Moscow-Beijing Axis) if they want. "Taking" is harder.

There is always a buyer of distressed assets. Always. It may not seem like a wise investment to the average HNer but there is an entire world of investing other people's money on different kinds of assets.

And Russia has a lot of desirable assets that could reap dividends after the war is over.
This is a fairly obvious ploy to lock up liquidity and make sure no trades are on the ticker.

With no trades on the ticket prices will look stable to naive participants but the spread will get gigantic.

The smart money will still be exiting fast.
Well, yeah. That’s exactly it. ;)

Don’t get me wrong. I’m impressed with people doing it, but I don’t think I can.
As with many jobs, its take on the risk the job requires or find a new job. I'm not saying they shouldn't have a voice. But it shouldn't be an excuse.
> This is part of the reason I’m very much pro school choice. Give a credit to each family to do with what they wish.

Sure thing, if the federal "defense" budget would also be split up into credits, and each family could decide whether it wants to fund the various wars or do something else with the money.

> decrease cost. What's not to like?

Everything's not to like - not the least of which being your desire to cut salaries (or perhaps just shove children into shabbier schools? Who knows how you want to cut costs).
The robo-dogs aren't shooting them, only being used for surveillance. Basically, they are high-tech cameras. Saying "well, they could eventually mount guns on them" is like saying the same for the cameras in stores used to help prevent shoplifting.

This is a far better idea than a border wall, anyway. I don't see the big problem other than in the imaginations of people who have read or watched a lot of dystopian science fiction.
> I would fear that Apple forgets about the feature after a few years and then just drops it.

This is a Google thing to do. Apple seems pretty great at picking and choosing commitments before they launch rather than what you describe here.
That assumes that the gambler is playing unskillfully, or assumes that they don’t care about going bankrupt.
This is essentially it.

Nuclear power has been economically inefficient for a long time.

This is true for many, many economies. Even in places like Japan and South Korea, nuclear energy is more expensive than seaborn LNG.

The reason that nuclear energy has been supported is the "unspoken" externality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_latency

Having a "peaceful" nuclear plant, means you can throw together a bomb pretty quickly if needed.

Hence countries like Japan/Korea, with active space and rocketry programs as well as a thriving domestic nuclear power industry, have been considered "quasi-nuclear powers" by many. Their "time to slap together an atom bomb," given a large national supply of nuclear physicists is not that long.

Germany, is very supporting of pacifism.

Hence, since the German approach to foreign policy is fundamentally "we don't want nuclear weapons because we really don't want to engage in warfare, because warfare is immoral." They don't want nuclear power.

If we avoid wireheading and obvious black mirror pits

Curious what you see as a possible incentive for this to play out? Personally stopped watching black mirror a few years ago, i dont know how much focusing the public psyche on a fantastical version of the horrors that are playing out helps us imagine or enable a better future. These days it almost feels like a keeper of the gate to STEM. If black mirror freaks you out you probably aren't going to compete in the r&d space.
Services is a big growth area for them and it lets them beef up their iCloud+ offering
I suspect if you cut the typical CEO's pay by 90%, they'd be extremely offended and go find a job somewhere else - regardless of whether they "needed" the money. Compensation is still the primary metric that an employer uses to communicate satisfaction with performance to an employee - all other things being equal, cutting someone's pay tells them you think they're doing a poor job, affects the prestige of the role and so on.

There are obviously non-free-market forces that affect compensation but none of them work by considering the individual; they all start by considering the position and the market for the position.

The number of people looking for the position is also a meaningless metric. Go anywhere on the internet and you can find people who are desperate to get software engineering jobs and yet somehow compensation keeps going up. Only the availability of qualified candidates and the competition for them matters.
Well that’s bullshit.
Would you invest into, say, Iranian oil industry, given a chance to do it very cheaply?

I'm afraid that political / systemic risks are too high to invest more than a token amount.
That might be true, the risk still multiplies rendering the original comment nonsense.
The President is Jewish, yes. But there are Nazi elements to the Ukrainian military. For example, the Azov Battalion[1] are very clearly neonazis. But they were also one of the main forces fighting Russian separatists in the east, so they were adopted into the National Guard.

As everyone's noticed, the situation in Ukraine is complicated. Yes, Putin's claim that he's invading Ukraine to denazify it is clearly bs. BUT, Ukraine has a Nazi problem, largely due to the internal alliances the government has to make in order to stand a chance against Russia. If Putin managed to get Ukraine's military to coup their government and then negotiate with him, that coup would probably be from the neonazis. Luckily for Ukraine, it turns out so far that its White Nationalists still care about the "nation" part.

Can you elaborate? The general negative sentiment towards teachers is confusing to me.

It seems you trust them enough to take a very major part in raising your child, but not enough to make a decision about what’s best? I’d like you to elaborate because this view makes it seem like parents view teachers as nannies (who, by the way, should also have a say in whether they want to get exposed to a virus or take it home to their own family).
Why does he hate HN? Kind of weird, since he appeals to the same sort of people.

This was one of the most surreal and irritating posts I’ve ever come across on hacker news.

WILL NOT terrorize us.”

I’m not sure where this comment is going. This whole experience was weird and makes me long for days that I wasn’t even a part of. Thank you?

The chance of a nuclear encounter is always non-zero. There could always be someone who instead of shooting up a school or church decides to shoot up the world. Or someone sell a nuke to terrorist. If you want to talk probabilities, well, what is the new probability? The answer is that no one has any clue how to even evaluate the probability. And what if the worst happens: Putin says "I'm going to nuke somebody unless you give me Ukraine"? Or he feels like he's losing and just unilaterally decides to take the world down with him? You can't really do anything about those scenarios, so you pretty much have to just assume he won't do that and act accordingly and try not to push him into a scenario where that looks like a good option.
It's funny you linked to my random post. I should probably follow up on that as it'd be a nice way to ensure you're not allocating on hot-paths. It'd be for audio processing and such!

Overall I'm finding Nim performs well at real-time style processing with ARC – even when allocating memory. Its memory allocator is taken from research for embedded real time allocation. Still the best pattern is to pass memory as mutable variables on hot processing paths:

proc processAudio(someBuffer: openArray[byte]) = ...

Next couple of weeks I'll using Nim on an MCU taking real-time ADC readings at ~64khz. That'll be fun as it'll require interfacing pre-allocated DMA buffers and with multithreaded ARC managed buffers. And they say it's all web programming nowadays. ;)
Seems like some parents are heard pretty loudly.

High Schoolers have staged walkouts in response to omicron in some cities.

Seems disingenuous to say only teachers have been heard.

How do you handle everyone from multiple school districts all wanting to go to one that appears better but isnt equipped to handle that many?

Also, it brings competition to teaching... which drives people to work hard(er).

To be clear, I'm in favor of school choice. Just some thoughts.

"Choice" can mean two things.

1. The vendor has a choice of what they offer me. They can decide to offer only networked, for-rent versions. That's their choice.

2. I have a choice what I purchase or rent. I can decide to only buy (not rent) software that resides on my own machines. That's my choice.

They can pursue a direction that I don't want if they choose to. I can still choose not to go along.
I mean I guess on a surface level this might be true if you only consider like developing small web features, but large and complex code bases and distributed architectures are not easy to work with imho. You can see that its actually pretty difficult because brand new junior devs can take upwards of 6 months to be useful, not to mention to occasional stand-in dev that sub contracts their job out, then when taken into a room and asked to read "their" code cant even understand what is going on.

I graduated with a physics degree and I still remember how steep the programming learning curve felt when I took my first programming in C course despite having done some python work in the past.

So I don't think the "most" qualifier is necessarily correct either.

Car manufacturers have always done this. Sometimes to a laughable extent – only the top of the line Toyota 4Runner has automatic lights, for example.

I’d love for them to not, but I don’t think it’s going to change. Tesla, their primary EV competition, charges for software-only features.
>I'm guessing that hump in the Russian yield curve is about to be more like the Burj khalifa than a camel

There won't be a curve, it will be a yield cliff taller than the burj. Mind you, they were already at 10% interest rates and inflation. Economists are going to need to invent new words for how much of a failure the Russian economy will be.

People might as well not go to work, they know their employers wont be paying them; even if they did pay them, the amount will be meaningless. Might as well take to the streets.

But dont worry, russian central bank says they are solvent... despite the reality that max withdrawals are $20 and lineups are very long. LOL!

Also, to be fair to the people arguing for reducing suffering, doing so can be defended in a entirely rational ethical framework, it need not be an emotional argument. I'm just not sure within that framework how defensible it is to assume intelligence and potential capacity to suffer are correlated for many of the 'higher' animals we eat.
You do have a say! School board meetings are usually public and the board elections are democratic (usually. Some districts, usually in the south still have some at-large boards seats for racism reasons). When I was a teacher and blamed for things by parents I had no power over (e.g. standardized tests mandated by the state) I wished parents would direct their (justified & righteous) rage at the school board and state politicians instead.

“School choice” isn’t school choice unless I’m free choose to send my kids to the rich district across town or the private school the politicians and elites send their kids to.
I was wondering about this. The US said they won't be sending troops to the Ukraine, which I believe. But the technological gap between Russia and the West is now large. Look at the phones behind Putin here: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-says-ukraine-attack... He is is trying to project am image of strength, yet us sitting in front of technology so old your average western teenager would struggle to recognise it.

What I don't know is if the technology matters in a war. But it does seem possible. The US has been fighting a proxy war with various Islamic militia for over a decade now, with the US "combatants" sitting in the USA piloting drones taking out one target after another. And it looks like after a decade they were largely successful. So perhaps technology does matter. A similar thing happened to Russia in Afghanistan. They were holding their own until the west put SAM's in the hands of an rebels. Then Russia did the same thing to the US.

If it is happening, I'm not sure we or Putin would know. These smart weapons are launched from km's away so no one knows who pulled the trigger, and Ukraine would have some anyway. Earlier it was looking like the Western leaders wouldn't have the collective will do to it, but the financial markets have shown otherwise. Maybe that dilly dallying they put on was just for show, as it isn't in the Western leaders interests for Putin to think they are attacking him directly. But I'm guessing the nuclear threat means Putin already suspects.

If technology does make a big difference, it's likely to be a blind spot for entire Russian military. They are so far behind technology wise they have no experience with it. It would likely be as much of a surprise to them as it is to me, and they would have reported the odds of winning as though it didn't exist.
