That is the license by the creators but does not mean other companies/individuals won’t claim that it infringes on their patents. So if you adopt it, you’re still likely to be accused of infringing their patents.
Picking a successful stock at past point you didn't buy in at is a hell of a sampling bias. The peak of /r/wallstreetbets activity was people throwing in money at the $250-$300 level trying to will it to $420, and it's now below $100. If you were smart and bought before the peak hype... how many other equally promising-looking stocks did you also buy into, before a hype that never arrived?

This article definitely isn't bias-free either but at least it's not picking stocks based on performance.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did that transition come about? Same employer, or did you seek out work that offered this?

As someone who just started a sabbatical last month, one thing that’s on my mind is future sustainability. I don’t want to be back in a position where I have to do this for sake of sanity.

A mon-wed schedule sounds promising, but it definitely seems like the employer is #1 key.

Even if my now-former employer offered me that option, it would have never actually worked due to the culture there.
And "scan" means "hold up to the webcam and take a picture." No scanner needed.
If it's going to be anything like the last two recessions it's going to cash and (if it dips) real estate, and soon after that it'll be back on the tech stocks that survive. There's really not that much alternatives barring a huge shift in the economy as to where you want to park your wealth if you don't want to trust how much dollars the Fed will print.
I don't know how we're defining "an objective measure", but pushing CRT sure looks like "move left." So does "we're going to help your kid transition without telling you" and XYs in women's sports.

Of course, one can argue that none of this is new, that what's new is pushback.

I heard an economist say exactly what you wrote, that there's always a seasonal dip in the prices of stocks at a certain time of the year, it's expected.

Bullshit. There are no seasonal drops in stocks, the only season is bull season or bear season.

Maybe people should be encouraged to lean on frozen vegetables - they're already prepared (trimmed and chopped), no spoilage because you didn't get around to using them in time, can have them at hand like anything shelf stable, then incorporating them into something like a stirfry is almost instant.

A very quick combo I make fairly often is rice in the rice cooker with dumplings (out of the freezer) steamed on top. Sprinkle with various sauces, deep fried shallots, etc and done. Then refrigerate the extra rice and use it to make fried rice the next day with frozen vegetables, etc. The rice cooker is hands-off. The fried rice is quick and leaves leftovers. I incorporate fresh ingredients from my garden but it's easy to make something decent without those.
> an absolutely endless parade of people said that it's stupid and that I should stop. I was never popular, I don't know if I was any good, but I caved, and stopped.

That is my experience (in different fields), and it's the experience of many. It was before I understood how innovation and creativity work ('first they laugh at you ...') and also before I learned to know and love myself. Now I face the same responses for some aspects of my life, but there is no doubt anymore about what I should be doing.

But doubt or not, it can be lonely and stressful at times. There is a cost and it's not always worth paying. You have to know yourself to know the value of whatever you are doing, the cost to you, and whether that's worthwhile.
Prices are determined by supply and demand. Both are rather inelastic, especially in a highly desirable city like NYC, so very of the property taxes gets passed to the renters. If this weren't true, then renters in California would see savings from prop 13, but clearly that isn't happening.
You assume that "parabolic" is some how a natural signal as opposed to an artificial effect that "indexing" has changed from 1920 to today.

There's absolutely nothing significant between 1 year and 1 index point.

They arnt connected. Full stop. The shape of a 1 year over 1 index point is arbitrary.

As such, it's shape is meaningless at arbitrary time ranges.

“ "Then I found out that this other country — which I thought had a healthcare system that was so superior to the U.S. — doesn't test for the tumour marker that saved my life, and doesn't cover this drug that is responsible for pushing my cancer into remission after traditional chemotherapy failed to do that."”

They do; WebM is MKV.

General MKV support is approximately impossible because the subtitle format is extremely complicated and not specified. libass only implements it by being bug-compatible to an old piece of Windows software.

Also, MKV isn't a great file format; the way it does timestamps is all wrong for instance. It stores them as decimals when they're naturally rational fractions, so it's a strange choice for an archival format since it literally cannot be accurate.

It's not a neat idea. There's no novel economic concept here. It's just a ponzi scheme that has run out of greater fools. Remove the layers of deception and it is fundamentally a ponzi scheme.
No, the conclusion that some people genuinely have problems can be reached without listening to the experiences of those who don't have problems, the testimony of the people with problems is fully sufficient for that conclusion.

As I explained above, even if some people genuinely don't have those problems, that is simply irrelevant if others do have them.
Why is this guy torturing himself like this? He picks about the hardest way to do everything he does. He breaks his back trying to build his setup around Thunderbolt and fails, like it has failed him on his previous peripheral-sharing post. He uses a silly $150 workbench intended for component reviewers instead of a $50 mini-itx case. Instead of getting a slightly larger case he spends probably over a grand on a different GPU.

At this point, I don't know what to do with desktop machines. USB is a mess and Thunderbolt motherboards either don't support video or have stability issues.

You use the video output on your GPU like a sane person.

Most of the write ups show you everything all at once. I spend maybe a minute or so a week updating or tweaking something. Over decades this is a lot of customization and If I did a write up on it it would look like a lot of work.
Yes: nobody is claiming otherwise. SQLite drastically speeds up reads, and it speeds up writes in single-server settings. In a multi-server setting, writes have comparable (probably marginally poorer, because of database-level locking, in a naive configuration) performance to Postgres. The lay-up wins of SQLite in a multi-server environment are operational simplicity (compared to running, say, a Postgres cluster) and read acceleration.
There's nothing that's quite ready to look at for easy failover, but this is a big priority. We absolutely have to figure out failover during deploys. It's doable we just want to reduce the operational complexity as much as we can.
Yup, I thought about posting a correction, but figured it would be outdated by the time I was finished, heh.

It's not looking good at the moment... I know HN isn't very fond of crypto, but I still feel for everyone stuck in UST space right now. I've been there with other assets, and it's too damn stressful.
There is so much red across the board in cryptoland... it's gonna be a stress test for more than UST and LUNA.
I continue to think that /the/ critical problem with web3 as pitched is that users cannot be trusted to maintain private keys in the long run. Either the keys need to be in HSMs and easy to rotate (à la Urbit's identity-as-NFT scheme) or you need a social/institutional escape hatch when the cold logic of cryptography fails you so you're not completely hosed. Maybe you need both.
As-if!

'… we need to accept the possibility that we will iterate during the development, perhaps within a given phase (eg reworking a design until it seems that it will give the required performance), or from one phase back to another (eg to correct a faulty design decision that, during construction, is exposed by a failure to be able to implement it). The biggest iteration is the one where we complete the development and, when we see what we have produced, we decide we need to start again and redefine the user requirements in the light of what we have produced. Such iterations happen in the real world and we wanted to accept this fact and put it in our model. Royce first formulated this idea in what he labelled the waterfall model … page 31

'The "oldest" process model is the waterfall model … This shows a similar progression from inception, through definition, the various stages of design, code, unit testing and integration to final acceptance. The fact that that progression is never smooth and monotonic is acknowledged by drawing little backward arrows suggesting iteration." page 39

I hear lines of thinking like this about poor people where it's never really their fault and it's just an unfortunate circumstance. It has always struck me as weird, because I grew up poor and grew up around poor people. I've never come across any of these poor people you describe anywhere besides television.
It all comes back to the idea that crypto is only a novel solution for scams and illicit markets.
> The PPP was the Paycheck Protection Plan.

> It was not sold as a stimulus, it was to allow businesss to pay furloughed employees (in a bizarre ill-thought-out privately-run unemployment insurance scheme) to continue to pay ongoing expenses.

Can you clarify what's your rationale for believing that a program designed to "allow businesss to pay furloughed employees (...) to continue to pay ongoing expenses" does not correspond to an economic stimulus program?
It does! "Get a to-go database" is already on the roadmap. :)

There's a huge demand for low-end processing, but it's less clear if there's a huge demand for less-power-efficient processing. Anything with batteries will have to spend more on batteries. It could be good for automotive if they can hit the temperature range specs. Cars have lots of small CPUs and a few milliwatts when running isn't significant.
> have a lot more frequent failover of SQLite (if it is running embedded within the app, thus following the app's deployment schedule).

That does sound like it's going to be difficult to get right. But if Litestream eventually implements a robust solution for this problem, then I think some added complexity in the deployment process will be a reasonable price to pay for increased app performance the rest of the time.
Property tax in New York City tends to be lowered because there is also an income tax. Try comparing homes outside the city.

> anybody can still go blow it all on a casino or Reg CF securities offerings, unless they are richer, then they have a few additional choices to blow it all.

That implies all risk is the same, which is a way to normalize scams, negligence, and irresponsibility. Casinos and regular security offerings are generally honest about what they offer and are regulated.
Economic natural selection?
>There's a lot of vulnerable people losing a lot of money on crypto

I feel absolutely no sympathy for people who lose their money in crypto. If they're truly "vulnerable people" and they're dumping their savings into crypto, they deserve the expected outcome. Same for people who spend their rent and food money on scratch-off lottery tickets. Take some damn responsibility for your actions.
Curious what that one old package is

Personally I can't live without a few neovim packages like auto complete and switching files and searching text in a project etc.

I completely agree with the set it and forget it approach though. But if that's the case I think vim/neovim might be your best bet.
Is that not the case for blockchains because the wallet ids do not divulge identities?
I also fully believe Bitfinex is likely to be manipulating USDT. It is the only way it makes sense. But check this out, here's why you should not wish too hard on its failure:

It is too big to fail because a lot of BTC would lose value over night, the entire plug would be pulled out of the industry due to the loss of confidence. Predatory and uninformed legislation would happen while the price and negotiating power is low, and in this time, that is when you really see the blood hit the floor with regard to scams, theft, crime, etc.

Regardless of your position on USDT, you should pray this never happens.

Edit: For the critics of cryptocurrencies responding below, allow me to make this response -- I didn't have anything to do with subprime mortgages, along with most of USA, however we all paid dearly for that mistake. As the comingling of cryptocurrency and traditional markets become increasingly intertwined, what makes you think that the ancillary effects of a crypto crash wouldn't effect you in some way?

If SpaceX reaches it's goal of 42,000 satellites, it's going to be next to impossible to shutdown its communications capabilities. Other countries should be concerned. I'm glad they are working with the US not against it.

SpaceX's goal should be to make sure it launches all of its satellites as soon as possible. Since it's now a security concern I bet the US will make sure it happens and will supply all the money it needs.

When whole countries are scared of your capabilities, you've reached Iron Man status. Wow!
> Think about what happens when's there's a rush on a bank. A bunch of people acting stupidly in large numbers can create a negative environment for everyone else.

that's not people acting stupidly - a bank run happens when trust in the banking system drops to below a critical threshold. This trust might be eroded by some external event, and mishandling by the governing authority etc.

it is rational then, as an individual who cannot change the authority's handling, to take action to protect one's own interest.

> Yes they are free to do that. It causes problems when there's a disconnect between value and price. Many of the activities were trading or gambling, which are not beneficial.

they are beneficial from the point of view of the person doing it.

It isn't the activity that causes the problem - it's that those activity is funded by taxpayer money, not their own!
In practice, Phoenix apps tend to be using Ecto and a mainstream database.
Yes, it is very common, but HN is one of those places where one is required to have the community's approved opinions on things, and even the approved supposed-facts on things.

Of course many systems, including Canada's have this problem. The primary motivation for governments to prohibit private competition is specifically so that they can pretend that it can't be better elsewhere, to keep their system alive.

If people realized how likely they were to suffer for years utterly unnecessarily, they wouldn't be willing to put up with the government health systems they have. But because the government banned competition to keep them ignorant of the alternative, people remain peaceful while they wait in pain for years to get treatment that is utterly routine in America.

You have a point, but not everything needs to be black and white. We had this nifty technology called AJAX even before SPAs were a thing. Now I understand that SPAs are built on AJAX calls too, but it is also possible to render (most of the) HTML on the server side and only use AJAX using off-the-shelf components such as Datatables when you absolutely need that functionality.

TSLA is still up from 2 years ago by ~380% (May 8th 2020 - May 9th 2022). I know that exceptions tend to prove the rule, but here is at least one just off the top of my head.
I think there's a subtle distinction between morality wars on the left and the right, at least one that I can see from my own perspective.

On the right, there's a coherent, objective moral value statement that voters want upheld, namely "babies are people too, beginning at conception, and must be treated as such by the law." It's pretty straightforward whether this value is being upheld, and there's no risk of a "purity spiral" where people propose increasingly crazy ideas to signal their loyalty to the cause. Just don't kill babies... that is all.

On the left, unless I'm mistaken, there aren't coherent, objective moral value statements at the heart of CRT, identity politics, or pro-choice arguments ("my body, my choice" isn't a well-defined philosophical statement) which does lead to a purity spiral. For example, there have been serious proposals to allow "after birth abortion" -- i.e. it's OK to kill babies after they're born - for a recent example see [0], but there are many other examples as well. TA mentions other purity spirals that occur on the left.

But regardless, yes, there are absolutely politicians on both sides of the aisle who use people's moral values as a means to power (I'm especially thinking of a recent US president, but there are many others). "You want to get rid of abortion? Vote for me!" -- but disingenuously. They don't appear to care personally about whatever it is, they posture to get power while not understanding the nuances of how to wisely implement laws that reflect the peoples' values, or even what those values are exactly in the first place.

[0] CA AB-2223, in its original text (now amended), read "Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death" (emphasis mine). Note "perinatal death" means death within the first 7 days after birth (thus legalizing infanticide). This has thankfully been edited to perinatal death due to a pregnancy-related cause -- but that could still encompass scenarios like "intentional injury to the child moments before or during birth".
Until recently, front end development meant knowing how to use HTML and CSS, same thing with web design.

I remember in ~2013 telling someone who was getting into web design that they should also focus on learning JavaScript, or even CoffeeScript, because just HTML and CSS weren't going to cut it in the future.

I also remember getting into a discussion with a manager in ~2018 who opined that they liked the fact that front end development now meant having to understand JavaScript, and things like React, because it meant they could hire "real engineers" for the front end.

I'm not a fan of that trend, and still kind of lament that a lot of people were forced out of web development because they didn't see the writing on the wall. And I can't really blame them, because at the time, schools were still selling students on web dev & design tracts that strayed away from traditional CS, and focused more on HTML, CSS and UI/UX over programming.
I don't know those people and of course can't judge anyone else but me. Generally, the trendy focus on taxes is absurdity. They are making all that money, and are uprooting their lives and family, not to mention the other benefits of living in world cultural and technology capital (which isn't coincidental to the taxes and resulting community investment), to save on taxes? I hope they see that some things are more important in life.
> Most of the smart contract system has been based on the assumption that contract termination/violation is not possible. This effectively ignores counter party risk.

I mean, maintaining the peg is based on that assumption, but I doubt "price of luna going to zero" is a scenario that serious analysts skipped over. Therefore, the failure to account for that scenario is still on them.
