The US gov't so far has enough credibility that they won't manipulate the inflation figures or change the law under you to cheat you of your money.

Of course it _could_ happen - nothing prevents it. And if they did, they'd have destroyed the credibility that took over a hundred years to create, and it would remove any future possibility of people lending money to the US gov't. A rational actor would not undertake this action, unless there's some good reason (such as nuclear war).
Just figured I’d bust you out given the topic. :-)
>Anyway, this is all to say that being a niche programmer is not bad at all. Pay is great, competition is low and the interview processes for the most part very humane

This is NOT true of all niches. The pay will only be great if the demand for programmers in that niche is high.

No Code tools are either hype or niche – you should opt for niche
That's true, perhaps I should've clarified that in the article. There's a lot of languages out there that are very niche and have virtually no jobs for them (especially very new languages), so some market research is of course required before deciding on one.

That’s definitely a thing too often. The “middlebrow rejection” or something like that. But in this case the OP got a message saying they had exceeded the limit and would get a refund. Then they repeated the transaction at the limit for a total of 20k.

From reading comments here it sounds like the author both misinterpreted things and also compulsively over deposited to test the governments software.

Testing government systems as an outsider is a really bad idea.
It's just an alternative currency. It's the same as exchanging your USD for a foreign currency that has high volatility. Foreign exchange trading doesn't have the hype bitcoin does but it's the same thing. Eventually, bitcoin may prove to be a less inflationary currency so people may enjoy the small annual gains. Until then investing in bitcoin is essentially gambling. Believe it or not, the most successful investor in the world knows what he's talking about here.

Or they didn't have dark skinned people around them to test it on... and didn't think about why it would not work on darker skins.

By saying "subconscious bias" you're implying that deep down they didn't want it to work for dark skinned people.

I too got bored of having to go through every little transaction and categorising them according to my budget. I had already simplified my expenses budget down to three categories; essentials, luxuries and goals.

My solution was to open a dedicated current account and or credit card for each category. This makes assigning a category to transactions simple because I know which budget category each account is designated to.

This also helps with day-to-day budgeting because I have setup scheduled transactions to top-up my essentials and luxuries bank accounts with the correct amount of funds from my savings. A side effect is the stark reminder that using the credit cards eats away my goals budget because I've already spent my allocated funds for essentials or luxuries.

One downside here is losing the credit card protection on some purchases. The work around is to transfer funds back to savings when making these purchases. Another is that it's difficult to adopt immediately because opening several accounts may affect credit rating or rouse suspicion from financial institutions.

But money really is fungible. Each dollar tied up in building nukes is exactly a dollar unavailable for building out renewables. Furthermore, during each year waiting for the nuke to come online (if indeed it ever does, and is not cancelled after years of delays and cost overruns) all the dollars spent on coal are also unavailable to build out renewables.

Since each dollar spent on renewables produces several times the watt-hours produced by a dollar's worth of the nuke, diverting that dollar to the nuke has brought climate catastrophe that much nearer.
Even if you assume temporal polygamy (serial marriages), I would consider an individual with one woman for 20 years to be more successful than one with 5 women 10 years each.
To be fair the Kindle is the cheapest e-reader you can find. Amazon needs to recoup the cost somehow.
Also when it comes to faces, that's intentional. Trying to generate realistic looking humans is explicitly forbidden, just like politics, violence, nudity and other stuff. Images matching those topics are likely filtered out of the training set (it's no public, so no idea what is actually in it).

It still has some ideas how humans look like, but that seems to come from classic paintings, not real world photos of humans.

I have a really hard time rationalizing why you would leave that part out of your quote and drew the conclusion you did. The original task was clearly also about creating patterns that a human would recognize as random.

> It might be harder to hire, but you'd probably end up with people who thrive in that environment.

This is a key point.

As you do when you run startups, you wear many hats, and one of the hats I frequently wore was that of interviewer.

In that role you very quickly develop a smell-test for the corporate-type.

It is an inevitable fact that the majority of responses from any job ad will come from people whose immediately previous job(s) were in the corporate environment.

That's fine, nothing wrong with that. But you have to structure your interview technique as such that you try to determine if they are more the corporate-type who has become accustomed to the cushy life of the corporate world (teams, departments, tight job descriptions, guaranteed 9–5 life etc.).

The problem with those who have become accustomed to the corporate world is that they'll never change. The mentality becomes too engrained, they seriously struggle and cause headaches for their colleagues. The more years they've spent in corprate-land, the worse it is.

I would often find the classic "do you have any more questions for me?" at the end of the interview to be the most revealing of all as to the mindset of the candidate.
We had considered implementing a very extensive filter in the early 2000s. What started as blocking porn sites with questionable moderation and a fair amount of pedophiles transformed (before it was even codified into law!) into sites being blocked for personal offences, including a dentist's business site with a gif the censor board objected to, and perceived moral degeneration, likesites on safe usage of drugs and how to avoid overdosing.

It wasn't even a slippery slope, it was more of a crumbling ledge.

Not something I would call exactly good user experience for your average twitter user... And then come the governments which will have slight issues on this. And fake apps, third-party apps, malicious browsers and malware in general...

It is simple, but actually to make it usable for other than nerds and have them not yell at twitter when they handily forget their password and can't recover. Not really worth the customer support and PR load following.

This is me spitballing. Take with salt.

Men start off mostly worthless by default from a dating perspective, and gain attractiveness as they gain money and status. So, make money and gain prestige. Pretty-boys who peak in high school are the exception.

Women peak in physical attractiveness to men as soon as they mature. Emotional maturity plays a role in attractiveness, and that generally improves over time, so peak overall attractiveness for your average woman is probably in her 20s.
So, ignore women in your 20s and make lots of money, and then, when you're 30 and rich, marry a 20-year old.
I thought it was kind of funny they wrote élitism, as the inclusion of the accent made the sentence itself feel vaguely elitist.
You'll be able to email Epub instead. You can already do it now actually if you send it as a ".zip" or ".PNG" but they reject ".Epub" outright. But they recently updated a support article saying send to Kindle will support Epub soon. Amazon converts it using their tools to their format that's right for the device.
This is disgusting. I've spent a ton of cash on Steam over the years. I won't buy another game on their platform again.
Bitcoin does many things right but it's also really lacking in some fundamental ways. It still can't be used as a form of currency. There are issues with scalability, mining being centralized, and the overall UX not being there yet. It may be easy to jump on a new project which 'fixes' all of these issues in theory but when the numbers start pouring in it'll also face the same or other issues. We've seen that play out before.

Projects take time to mature. I think there is innovation in areas which are facing problems and people are working on improving it so that it can actually be viable as a currency.

Not OP but was in a similar situation sans jailbreak. I switched to a Boyue Likebook Mars which has android, micro SD card, headphone jack for audiobooks.

I installed koreader and synching so when I drag n drop ebooks or audiobooks into a certain folder, I know it will just magically appear there on the sd card of the e-reader in a few minutes.

I can still run and use the Kindle app for my existing library, though these days I buy only drm free ebooks as well.

So nice to actually own ones ebooks!

Thing is though that people present as shorter or taller than they are based on posture, and it's not just people, all mammals do it.

> I didn’t read all the comments but didn’t spot a single one from anyone female.

To be honest I only skimmed the article because there was so much pain and unkindness in it that I didn’t want to carefully read the whole thing.

More broadly, I tend to stay out of these threads. The first of its kind that I read on HN (about divorce, I think) shocked me a little. I left with a feeling that some people commenting both loathed women and really wanted female attention. It was strange and uncomfortable. It was also quite sad because I realised that someone behaving like that probably would struggle to get dates, because it would scare the women they want to date, and that would feed into the feeling of anger. So now I tend to avoid these threads.
> It’s difficult to describe how pretty the LED-segment bubble display on this calculator is – photos don’t quite do it justice

However the LED display was also the main reason why this calculator needed 4 AAA batteries (which I imagine didn't last that long), while later calculators with "boring" LCD display could run for years on fewer batteries. My father had an early electronic watch with an LED display, which had a button you had to press in order to read the time - kinda like a smartwatch...
You're right: the quotes do a shit job of illustrating thangalin's point, because you can find anyone supporting anything on Twitter. Regardless, "Stop basing your entire worldview on what 20 women said on twitter.com in 2014" is still an unnecessarily rude way to make that point.

What's with all these fresh accounts going "Hmmm, yes, I think this is very true, I agree 100%"? Is this an attempt to manufacture controversy?

On topic, though, Steam's community moderators are not paid by Valve, they are volunteers elected from active users of the community. Active users of the community tend to be terrible moderators, so I can absolutely see a Russian nationalist sneaking in and abusing his power.

My account was stalked, repeatedly blanked, and randomly banned from posting by a rogue moderator for over two years, after I got into an argument with him on one of the boards.

Interesting points. “Startup on steroids” aka “startup within a big company” is a euphemism for a business unit with bad organisation inside a company that is too chaotic to introduce new products through normal channels necessitating a direct to video spinoff.
How would you reason this?
Yes, Valve is taking the wrong stand here. They are censoring pro-Ukrainian content on Steam based on "no-politics" rules, while allowing russian propaganda, Z symbols and descriptions about Ukrainians being an inferior race. This has no place on such a platform and I am ashamed to have spent so much money there. It definitely ends now.
> As if women are a monolithic bloc conspiring against your genes. As if women are spherical horses acting out the simple laws of your evolutionary psychology

This is a borderline strawman. Such conclusions are based on population level trends. And yes, just like any other sexually dimorphic species, there quite literally is a "conspiracy" against undesirable genes, though it isn't necessarily conscious or absolute.

I think post feminism people generally are unwilling to acknowledge that femininity can be just toxic as masculinity in its own ways, so they deny the absolute cruelty that women can collectively and inadvertently impose on less desirable men. Perhaps norms which enforce monogamy are a compromise which optimizes for overall happiness and societal function, as an alternative to legions of demotivated and disaffected young men in a hypergamist society.

>My advice to y’all is to get out of the sausage factory and start meeting some people in real life.

Did it ever occur to you that these observations might be coming from short guys who have experienced this negative selection pressure in real life? It's not like it's limited to dating, we all know about the research into the correlation between stature and salary, position, and other metrics of success; are short guys just not trying hard enough in their professional lives too?

Think of it like microagressions, except there's no one to advocate for you, and your immutable trait is objectively, defensibly negative, unlike racial/sexual discrimination. I would bet that short guys in (especially multicultural?) societies with a wide height variance are severely underrepresented in social settings like bars, because the soft stigma is always there.

> Your previous comment had stated that hues are electromagnetic frequency and parent comment showed a counterexample

That was not the point, and said counterexample is not such (also magenta is, in a way, "electromagnetic frequenc[ies]"). Impossible colours - virtual colours - do go more towards the counterexample, though up to a certain point as they refer to the mental phenomenon of colour and leave the physical nature of colour untouched.

But finally I get what you meant when you stated: «not all colors are electromagnetic frequencies». True ("not all perception is produced by a direct influx of"). But also false, apparently (to the best of my), as objectivized hybrid colours are compositions of electromagnetic ranges; objectivized virtual colours are as well etc.

> Color is a complex phenomenon that cannot be reduced to electromagnetic frequencies and their composition

Yes, and nobody ever stated the opposite - no reduction was never implied, no «overlapping» (as written in the other post): the point was expressed, nearby, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31217999
I have found there is really good advice out there, it's just in places most people won't look.

The first one is books. Go to a book shop, and find a book on personal finances, written by a registered financial advisor in your country, for your country. It'll be long, stuffy, boring as fuck, but you'll likely come away well informed. I think if you're reading HN this would suit.

Second one is personal financial advisers. You want to talk to an independant one, who's not tied to a company that's actually selling financial products. They shouldn't be paid a percentage commision (also called trailhead) on your money - I never understood how somebody can be 'acting in your best interests' if they're paid by how you invest. You should pay them by their time, like you would a doctor. Except it'll cost like $200

You also want a personalised financial adviser. Some advisors say like the one you'd find it you went to a bank, or a mortgage shop have a limited scope - they're only allowed to give advice about the bank's products, or mortgages specifically. You want full picture. Sometimes employee assistance programmes if you have that will actually get you a few free sessions with an adviser, use them.
Warren Buffet very likely doesn't understand the technology behind DeFi or decentralized governance. He's also heavily invested in the legacy financial system.

Also it seems all media at this point is partisan and agenda driven. So they might in some cases get experts on both sides when the issue is inconsequential, but they will never present both sides or even the story if it makes the side they push look bad. Or unless forced reveal their failures.

You might have good honest expert, but they try to make sure they present only one side of their data. Thus leading other side rightfully discredit the entire thing.
