Once the airlines discovered the "fees" trick every company has been salivating to get onboard.

I hate it - I don't CARE where the money is going, just charge me the price and don't try to pretend that various "fees" are affecting it. It's bad enough with listing various taxes, but made up "surcharges" are just accounting trickery.
I have never owned an NFT so I can't necessarily relate specifically on that front, but I do own bitcoin and ethereum. When it comes to ownership of digital assets/property obviously you can't own the jpeg picture, or the image, or the blockchain that hosts the information since they can be endlessly copied. But you do own the rights of the keys to make any changes regarding the objects you control to the blockchain.

No one else has that power to make changes to the portion of the blockchain that you own the keys to. This is the aspect of ownership that matters.

Same thing with credit cards and databases. Those are centralized databases owned and operated by a central organization. When it comes to blockchain technology, to make entries regarding the portions of the blockchain that you control, no one else can make changes to that portion of the blockchain without the keys. This is the aspect of ownership that makes digital assets ownable. The ability to control the asset that no one else who doesn't own it can.

Look, I can't speak for ownership of NFT's, but to be honest, you probably can't either. Your entering the stage with a pitchfork and torch trying to hate it before you've even tried to see what its about.

I don't think it has anything at all to do with seeing their name on some website, its about ownership.

> proof of the poisoned well seems silly when all you have to do is look in and take a whiff.

You're not making a lot of sense here. Maybe you don't know what "poisoning the well" means.

poising the well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well

> is a type of informal fallacy where adverse information about a target is preemptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing something that the target person is about to say.

Again, we don't know that NFT's are a fraud, so to say "Or do they realize its all a fraud as well and trying to make a quick buck" asserts the question from the standpoint that they are, when we can't know that.

You are coming to the stage proclaiming the New England Patriots have won the Superbowl when the Superbowl has yet to start. That's all I'm saying. That to me sounds more like the pretzel logic.
Slight nitpick: Australian colonial (State) governments existed well before the Constitution of the Commonwealth in 1901, at least since 1788.

I'm not so sure about the relevance of the so-called "harsh environment" to political culture. Although, it may be said Australians have a more deferential view of certain aspects of politics than other Western countries.
When you sold the first company, how did you pick the subject of the second company? Was it an opportunity, or was it something you really loved? Is there something you are really passionate about now? Could be anything… hobby, travel, certain pieces of tech, whatever. Think about it and try lots of things out. Maybe go back to things you enjoyed when you were a kid. In my experience, you need something, or a series of somethings, that really interest you and drive you. They might seem silly. They might seem dumb or done already. See if you can find something that you like to play with. Really play. Go from there.

Amazon seems to have started to reach even for pennies. I have been a light user of AWS services for the past several years, and my monthly bill was usually below 0.2 USD. They never bothered to take such small amounts from the registered card. Last month's 0.14 USD bill was the first one I had to pay. :)

>I haven't noticed spikes in the price of other soft-drinks over the past few months. Their costs are rising too

I haven't noticed any "spikes" in soft drink prices, but I have noticed that sale prices have edged up around 15%. This is for name brand drinks, multi-packs, sold in grocery stores. I don't pay attention to regular prices so I don't know whether it's limited to just sale prices or to regular prices as well.
Yep, and the government enables and facilitates this malicious action for all statists that wonder what regulation could fix it.

Probably CRISPR/Cas9 and other things (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-019-0089-y), but it seems like a useful thing to keep in mind as a target if somatic mutation accumulation is really behind aging, and we can now sequence whole genomes, and can also edit them. Even if you could target major aging pathways partially it would probably be of benefit.

Large samples of whole genome sequencing has now been done, and as costs come down it should be possible to do extensive deep sequencing across some tissue samples and track people longitudinally, to see which somatic mutations, precisely, are associated with aging profiles. Then you could start by targeting gene editing of mutations in significant pathways.

Gene therapy for congenital disorders in adults is now being done:

If you think about aging as an acquired genetic disease, and gene therapy as an intervention, it makes sense.

You’re moving the goalposts. There are plenty of entities that can unilaterally have that great effect. That doesn’t mean they’re so vital to public wellbeing that the government needs to take them over or whatever it is we’re talking about.
It's getting really bad here in Canada. The governments directly funds, and contributes to the media companies. And recently passed laws for all media companies to be licensed. And of course decided to deny said license to one of his strongest critics, Rebel News. Which I don't much care to watch, but I do on occasion do watch RT do get a different perspective. Just yesterday I found out that RT was blocked on youtube and removed from cable. Just crazy to me that a government thinks it has a right to decide which news organizations I'm allowed to view.

No need to speculate. The US Dept. of Treasury has just created the Office of DEI and that's not an April 1st joke. Musk is simply going to get a low diversity score from that high office and prohibited, by a new statute, from owning more than 10% in a public company.

None of us live forever but I think for many people, the ultimate hope is to make a difference, to leave the world slightly better than we found it, to invest our skills into progress and removing some of the evil we find around us.

If you can find what you really enjoy doing and turn that into an investment into the planet and its population then you get to arrive at your death bed really believing you did something valuable with your life.

As they say, few people wish to have earned more money or spent more time at work, they wish they invested in people, in communities, into the less fortunate etc.

You're likely right. And much like Cassandra, you're getting downvoted for the warning.
One of the primary target markets appears to be tweens and teenagers, judging by the soft drink buying patterns of my kids and their friends. 99 cents means a lot to them (still).

The answer is DRM. In fact, almost any audio/video standard attempts have to address the elephants in the room: Disney, Warner Media, Universal Music Group, etc, and they all require DRM.
Assuming the content is the same: why is censoring a prominent voice worse than censoring someone less well-known? Prominent voices inherently have greater platform access, professional clout, etc. Whereas lesser-known figures do not have such privileges and are therefor more greatly impacted by censorship.

> Sometimes, I'd prefer some sort of limited series more than a movie. 'Maniac' was enjoyable for me because it had time to let things go slowly, despite taking course over what was probably 1 week in-universe.

Maniac is an excellent example. If it were a film, much of it would be cut down, and the movie likely would have had a singular focus on Jonah Hill's Owen character. The show, in having more time to breathe, realized relatively early on (by episode 3 or 4) that Emma Stone's Annie character had a far more compelling story to tell, and shifted its focus accordingly.

I like this idea, but things like “tools to filter who you see on Twitter” rely on self moderating of content you’re exposed to. We all already have that capability in many respects.

Eg I don’t really use Twitter at all apart from the odd tweet that will be referred to me. I moderate what I see by actively avoiding most social media (aside from HN of course) because I’ve decided that this is the easiest way to avoid sub-standard content that doesn’t add value for me. (A sweeping statement but just for sake of argument).

So let’s say someone says something extremely insulting about a minority group - just on the right side of legal, but otherwise a disgusting remark when measured against social norms.

Do we say that the utility platforms shouldn’t touch this because it’s not illegal?

Because some of those subgroups of people and individuals with the moderation/curation responsibilities will proliferate that content rather than moderate it.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I’m not arguing for strong censorship - I don’t have a counter suggestion, I’m just thinking it through…
Peter Drucker has a chapter on this in "Managing Oneself".

In summary:

Second or parallel careers

It’s relatively common for people to pursue second careers after their fist has peaked, or because they want to try and find success in a different area. This is especially true if your first career is in an area that is not the optimal environment for your performance – a second, or parallel career can offer the chance to make a difference somewhere else. A second career also creates options; you are less restricted when you have something else to work on.

Drucker identifies three ways to develop a second career:

- Start one – move from one organization to another, different sizes, different industries, or something else altogether

- Develop a parallel career – something on the side, or a part time job

- Social entrepreneurship – spend less time on the main job, and work on another activity (usually nonprofit)

I started my forties with a major health crisis and I can relate. If you want to talk to someone, my email is in my profile.

Ultimately though, I had to find other things and live a more balanced life. In my case, my health scare was such that fitness and nutrition became passions. I hope you can find a passion that works for you. It's okay to discover new things, rekindle old hobbies and do things that don't make sense from the outside.

Good luck friend and I'm sorry you're going through this. I can completely relate, it sucks and there is quite literally nothing I can say. :(
Yes, we discuss this in the post, and cases where this is not possible. For example, in the adjoints of universal differential equations you have to take a Jacobian-vector product. You can make that a matrix by batching, but then you are making a trade-off because you're effectively solving multiple ODEs simultaneously. When doing this, you might be able to fill the GPU kernels more, but you also have to take more time steps!

This is because adaptive time stepping is only correct if you take the minimum of all of the steps (average would make some above error tolerance, or worse unstable). If you have some ODEs stiff, or worse have stochasticity that can cause random times to shrink the time steps at different points for different solvers, making a solver of the union of equations something that is extremely wasteful. And that becomes a dilemma: we started trying to solve multiple ODEs at the same time to fill a matrix-matrix multiplication kernel, but by doing so we now have to take 100x more matrix-matrix multiplications! So that ended up nowhere, and we focused on matrix-vector performance via direct SIMD and effective use of mutation (as the blog post describes) and got very good results. We are also redoing some of the GPU ODE solvers and seeing about 100x improvement by avoiding batching in a similar way, but that's a post for another time.

All in all, some applications can just slam a big net. Others can't. The two cases need different optimizations.
That's a very good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I bet archive.org will have a copy!

If it helps at all, my 40s were my favorite decade so far. You sound like a person who really has a tremendous amount to offer. You just need to figure out what you want to do and what gives you joy. I am not a magical genius who can figure that out for you, but since you can definitely afford it, I'd agree with the folks who are suggesting a vacation or some kind of volunteer work.

You mention how much of your life you have devoted to your professional development. Perhaps it's time to be selfish and think just about you and your personal development.

I also don't think ketamine, or psilocybin, would be a bad idea. Many people have gotten lasting benefit, and relief from depression, out of those substances. If you do try one of them, do so in a peaceful, controlled setting, with a very trusted person around. And a lot of art materials! ;)
> The actual reason to make ones bed is to let air circulate in the parts of the bed

I don't follow - doesn't making a bed involve covering the bottom sheet and mattress cover, which is likely what absorbed the most sweat, with the top sheet and blankets, which would block the airflow to it?

When I need to air out my bed, I push the blanket and top sheet over to the side opposite the side I slept, which makes it look messier, not nicely made.
I guess my opinion is not popular, but I'll just say this: If Musk lets Trump back on I'm deleting my account. I've heard others say the same thing. That's a fact, not an opinion.

> “I’m committed to that 99 cent price — when things go against you, you tighten your belt,” Vultaggio said on a Zoom call in early April from his headquarters on Long Island, N.Y.
> Best solution? Most easily maintained?

We apply the Occam's razor here. For a given problem, a smaller program that solves the problem is a preferred solution. It is not a very good metric, and it is fine to disagree with it. But getting a "best" solution, requires one to define what "best" is, and there is no such agreed definition for code.

> The majority of "useful" tests either are stand-ins for what the language should have given you anyways (proper type checking), or they find and fix known bugs, e.g. the intersection of three features.

Find and fix known bugs is one aspect of it. You are not accounting the entire philosophy of test driven development, where one specifies functionality as tests upfront, and later writes code to pass those tests. Anyhow, we have found large projects like Discourse [1], Gitlab [2], Diaspora [3] have tests that specify code behavior well enough so that RbSyn can synthesize them. Very few tests are type-checking, bug fixing and intersection of 3 features.

What's not as obvious is that the retailer is shouldering some of the burden of the margin cut. Unless they want to argue with customers, they have to sell it at 99 cents like it says on the can. So even though they'd rather sell it at a higher margin as they do with other cold drinks, they have to accept less in order to carry it at their store.

The only real alternative is not to stock it (or only stock the plastic bottle ones that don't have the price on the labeling). But if they do that, their customers might shop elsewhere next time. I'm guessing that Arizona knows this, and they want to hold onto this "retailer shares the reduced margin" advantage for as long as they can.

Once you realize that Arizona Ice Tea is basically just a taller can with water in it when compared to a can of pop, it makes more sense how it can still be $.99.

The main additional costs are a bit more aluminum and some more water, everything else is comparable.

And the 99 cents is really tied to their brand; if they break it they get hurt more, so they'll push it as long as they "can" - likely introducing a smaller or larger can at some point.
I know; But I can't help but feel the SEC is just waiting to build up an open-and-shut case to really make an example out of him, as they usually do to high profile people who openly challenge them. Of course the richest man in the world is going to put up a very strong fight in court, and the SEC will not risk its authority by losing, so there can't be much ambiguity in any evidence they present
You have to re-evaluate how you measure your self-worth. When all you have done in your life is climbing some imaginary „ladders“ to „success“, then suddenly you will feel empty, if you have no other ladder to climb on.

And why do you think you have hit your zenith? Because you will not be able to redo the success that you have had and climb another ladder? But who have said that you should?

Beware, NO wonder pill or wonder drug will suddenly make your life easier, because (I suppose!) the issue lies with the purpose of life, not with some other biological reason.
