I don't agree with the premises. The arguments are not fleshed out. The conclusions feel absurd and lack supporting logic.

However, I was able to get past those things and enjoy the journey as an imaginative flight of fancy. The author might be better suited to fiction?
What prevents me from standing in front of it and not move? It will just sit there won't it?

With a regular bus the driver will get out and give me crap.

In Zürich if the trams were autonomous they would be stuck at the stations during rush hours. People run in front of them all the time and the driver needs to be very aware of what is going on. If these same people know the tram is autonomous and has to stop they will be even more careless.

I can see autonomous trains working where there is clear separation between the track and people/cars.
For me it's these little things that make working with newer C++ standards so much easier. Always felt like iterating over anything was cumbersome. No longer the case.

Or here's an interesting fact: SNAP (food stamps) have cost-of-living adjustments. When food prices go up, SNAP benefits go up.

But SSI benefits count SNAP as income and there is a dollar-for-dollar downward adjustment for every increase in SNAP.

So if you have SNAP, your SSI benefits will _decrease_ with an _increase_ in cost-of-living!
People really struggle with how the logical or works here's a sentence:

I get money or you get money

Most people read that as:

Either I get money and you get nothing, or you get money in I get nothing... which is wrong. That's why equality is so hard. People read or as xor.

What recession?

Employment numbers in my jurisdiction are back to normal and thanks to the sort of government intervention we're talking about very few companies went out of business. Where I live everything is pretty much "back to normal."

The government successfully shut down big parts of the economy, kept people alive, and avoided companies going out of business. They did it.

If there is any recession, and it remains to be seen if there will be, it won't be because of local factors, but rather because goings on in China and supply issues stemming from our over-reliance on their manufacturing.

I don’t think a 100% bailout is under discussion; the most likely scenario is $10K relief which will zero the balances of 30% of student debt holders and cost $37B.

Since most of that 30% have low income and come from low income backgrounds it will be a struggle to get it passed. A shame as those are the ones that need it the most. It’s interesting to note that Social Security was designed to cover 100% of the population even though only a smaller segment needed it, specifically to make it harder to kill. For student debt that would be an impossible sum and unnecessary.
I would want to add time for a bit of stress testing, backups, etc.

If I'm building something that needs to "stand the test of time", I find a day lets me relax, meander, think it through, and not get stressed over not moving fast enough.

You guys are not alone. My last job search was probably on the order of 100 applications, 10 interviews, 1 offer. It's been this way my whole 20+ year career.

I wouldn't bet on "most likely you wouldn’t be considered tax resident anywhere" - first, you have a default tax residency at your country of origin and the local law is likely to say that you lose it only if you can prove another tax residency.

Second, countries are likely to err on the side of caution which benefits them, so if you have unusual arrangements, then it's quite plausible that you are a tax resident of multiple countries and owe taxes to all of them - many countries have bilateral treaties to avoid dual taxation (which is the default outcome in many cases), so a digital nomad in an unusual situation might owe taxes to two or more countries, but are very unlikely to owe tax to no country.

"the burden of proof would be on the tax authority" - no, definitely not. The tax laws generally assert their claim on all income accrued in a certain country. The abovementioned 'non-dual-taxation' treaties have a process so that in reasonable scenarios the worker only pays tax in their home country, but if they don't apply (for example, because the 'home country' is a tax haven with whom there such a treaty isn't made), they owe tax where they earned the income. The mere fact that you are a tax resident somewhere else does not mean that you're exempt from local taxes, that requires fulfilling the criteria of those dual taxation treaties.

The weak point there is enforcement - there are all kinds of ways how a digital nomad can ensure that they won't be hassled much to collect the taxes they owe and they often can avoid paying them - but legally, they still owe them and are at the mercy of the authorities not finding out or not caring.
Hi all!

I made a project on finding the optimal weight allocation for a portfolio based on Bayesian Approach.
Most of the approaches to do so are very vague in nature. They simply plug in the data into the frequentist estimators which sometimes lead to unbounded risks.

Here I tried to use Bayesian Approach called MELO which has bounded risks and maximizes Sharpe Ratios on both Global Minimum Variance and Tangency Portfolio Problems.

Little bit tweaking like changing the portfolio stock tickers and the data collection and testing timeframe in the code, you can maybe apply it into your own portfolio stocks.
There are certainly those who promote equality by knocking people down rather than raising people up at least in their choice of language. It's ingrained in the entire idea of "privilege". A privilege is you get but don't intrinsically deserve. Fair treatment under the law isn't a privilege, it's something everyone deserves.
> It wasn’t orange juice at all, or any type of fruit juice. It was green juice.

This is a distinction without a difference. It doesn't matter what the juice is called. It doesn't change the fact that it's idiotic to pay hundreds of dollars for a machine that just squeezes bags of fruits and vegetables, and needs an Internet connection to ensure you're locked in to only squeezing the company's pricy bags.
If you tell someone who grew up homeless or borderline homeless with a single parent who occasionally starved themselves for several days in a row so the kids could eat that they’re privileged because they’re white don’t be surprised if they’re less inclined to be your ally.
"Diary of a spaceport janitor" may not be a poverty sim, and looks from the color choices alone far from one, but it does capture a certain mood; a common feeling produced by the 'poverty wage in a bustling hub of wealth' life.

Being a game, it's also an interesting take on exploring NPCs as a subject in games in a rather humanizing way, rarely do games treat them as having interior lives at all, or why far-out space fantasy still reproduces menial labor of our day without question.
I'm not sure this is true though. As said elsewhere in these comments, the full-keyboard version of this machine is fairly new (last 5-10 years to my memory). It used to just be an up/down arrow for adjusting how much time you wanted, and then it printed a sticker to add to your car window. The new version with the full keyboard is so they can just drive by and scan your license plate and ticket you that way if you overstay your payment.

It's not like these are machines from the 90s when not that many people had computers. The addition of the keyboard is specifically something that was done because wireless internet and computer vision improved enough to do away wit the older version.

I'd be earnestly curious what percentage of the population that lives in an area with controlled parking like this doesn't interact with a keyboard at least weekly. Even my 99 year old grandfather was sending emails from his computer a decade ago from his farm in the rural US. The target demographic here is A. People who own cars B. who need to park them in urban areas with street parking. Both of those are, for the last decade, likely to own a smartphone, I'd imagine.
> China has long seen these platforms as potential weapons

Every social media platform can be weaponized and no platform is immune from that. Yes, TikTok is essentially Chinese malware, so just don't install it then. If I want to watch TikTok videos, I go to Youtube and search for 'Best TikToks 2022'. People regularly leak TikTok videos onto other more safer platforms.

You have to get supporters for consensus to shift. If an approach isn't working then you have to know why and acknowledge it.

It doesnt matter how you feel about acknowledging it, consensus wont shift if the approach doesnt change.
Your reply says it’s not rude it’s factual, and you defend it as factual by saying easy/hard is subjective with the skill of the developer (i.e. not factual), and you defend that it’s not rude by insulting the dev skills and calling them mediocre and laughable? And you don’t address the bit where he storms off in a huff when much less is said back to him?

Even if I agree it’s factually easy, walking up to someone and saying “walking is easy if you’re not a cripple, am I missing something?” is rude if the person is disabled and even more rude if they aren’t. “But they’re crippled! Fact!” doesn’t make it not-rude behaviour. He isn’t Linus Torvalds and even LT insulted devs on behalf of userland and good code and not just to make himself feel superior. And doesn’t have an eggshell thin skin.
"For each inequality, participants first read a description of the disparity between an advantaged and disadvantaged group (e.g., “According to a recent report, in 2018, White homebuyers received roughly $386.4 billion in mortgage loans from banks, while Latino homebuyers only received around $12.6 billion in mortgage loans overall”). In the equality-enhancing policy condition, participants read proposals to increase resource access for the disadvantaged group and not change resource access for the advantaged group (e.g., “Several banks propose increasing the total amount of mortgage loans to Latino homebuyers by $7.3 billion and not changing the total amount of mortgage loan funding to White homebuyers”). The policy would thereby increase proportional equality in access to a given resource between the two groups. In the inequality-enhancing policy condition, participants read proposals to decrease resource access for the disadvantaged group and not change resource access for the advantaged group (e.g., “Several banks propose decreasing the total amount of mortgage loans to Latino homebuyers by $7.3 billion and not changing the total amount of mortgage loan funding to White homebuyers”). "

. . .

"As predicted, participants misperceived equality-enhancing policies as more harmful to their advantaged ingroup’s resource access than policies that maintained the status quo [b = 0.75, SE = 0.087, t(590.68) = 8.62, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.58, 0.93]] or worsened inequality"

But do the participants really "misperceive" the hypothetical policies as "more harmful" if one doesn't agree with the study's framing, and conclude that increasing lending to a purported subset of the population results in higher housing costs for all due to market forces?
That is some thorough documentation!
I just created my own little dashboard app (don't want to steal focus so wont link it). But what would you consider instant? This was a focus of mine when creating it and I actually found Heimdall some what slow. On my network heimdall takes ~300ms to load while my own loads in ~60ms. Not a huge difference I know but it's some what noticeable.

Statistics can address what most people do do, but how can one possibly speak to what most people want to do? (Even if one could, I can believe that people's preferences are much less absolute than they are shaped by existing affordances; maybe some people who currently want one thing would change their mind if obstacles to the alternative were removed.)
Winery+arrows change the location/min-max of a window.

Win+shift plus arrow moves window to each monitor

Three finger swipe on track pad give you open windows as displayed on each desktop, with ability to drag window to whatever desktop.

I keep three desktops, all with a different wallpaper so I know which desktop for what.

All work windows on D1 - research - d2 - and primary app I’m using if needs full screen on d3.

The only problem is forgetting to switch desktop when you switch mental modes…. Like opening a bunch of HN links in your app desktop…

So just redraft them from whatever to wherever.

What I also like, is I have two external USB monitors for my laptop..

And I have a diff display layout depending on which of the additional screens I have plugged in. It remembers the location of each.

So when I have just one screen plugged in, the second is to the right.

When both are connnected: it knows that one is right and one is up above.
I got banned a month ago with the same situation - trying to sell niche electronics and servers (neither expensive nor something you'd typically associate with any kind of scam). Did you list any items as local pickup only? Due to the bulkiness of the items I did so and I wonder if there's some scam we're not aware of that causes them to auto-ban anything with local collection only?

I since sold the items on a different website but will be making a GDPR DSAR to 1) get the data they hold about me (to see if there's anything that would explain the ban) and 2) to request a manual review of what must've been an automated decision.

Wow, this is really the perfect description of the general understanding of algorithms and computational complexity in the post-leet code era.

I've found that far less people in software understand and are curious about algorithms than there were 15 years ago, despite the fact that almost everyone studies them now for interviews.

I wonder how many people asking questions about computational complexity could tell you what the pumping lemma is, or how a regular language differs from pushdown automata. Or, more important, if they could answer the question "what is Big Omega for this problem?" or if they are really asking "what is big theta?". I'm still tempted sometimes to refresh on recurrence equations to provide the actual answer for these things rather than just applying some heuristic. Of course, in my experience, doing something like that would get you a failing score since they wouldn't know what you're doing and therefore assume you are wrong and an idiot "I can't believe that guy didn't even understand Big O".
> advantaged group members misperceive equality as necessarily harming their access to resources

Equality may not harm advantaged groups materially (more likely equality brings material benefits), but the sense of your group's place at the top of a social hierarchy being challenged is surely psychologically distressing.

Appreciate the advice! I'll look into it.
It's amazing how quickly you got downvoted. Feelings will be hurt.

In any case, the abstract reads funny to me:

"Nine preregistered studies (n = 4197) demonstrate that advantaged group members misperceive equality as necessarily harming their access to resources and inequality as necessarily benefitting them."

Can we really blame exceptionally selfish people for not wanting to give up anything in a world where not everyone can live like a king at the expense of the vast majority? We only have one planet and they know it.
You can contest them in court and demand that evidence is shown. That's not almost the same at all.

Seems silly, this isn't going to be like poverty at all. Poverty isn't just low levels of routine spending.

A better poverty simulator is, maybe, go ahead and keep your high level of consumption, but cancel all your insurance policies for a year. Including car insurance. That'll have a chance at provoking some poverty-like stress levels.
Indeed efficiency gains would not be an issue but if cost is increased..
Or people are used to being lied to about "equality" initiatives and their effects. There's a finite number of spots at any given university, company, etc. Favoring one demographic inherently means disfavoring another, no matter what lying advocates claim to the contrary.

I was paid by the Canadian government through a fellowship while I attended graduate school in the USA. They paid my entire years fellowship in a single check which clearly said Government of Canada, however, the check was denominated in US dollars and drawn on a US bank, yet I still got a lot of confusion and difficult when trying to cash it and had to convince them it was, in fact, possible.
Depends on what type of equality you are referring to. I see equality as everyone have equal chances of succeeding...equal opportunity and not necessarily equal outcome. If you push equality as equal outcome...then yes the person who is "advantaged" because they did better (maybe worked harder or had a better idea) will feel like it harms them to force equal outcomes.

When you look at the recent nomination of Ketanji Brown did it harm the 97% of federal judge candidates who were excluded from the process because the intended outcome was to have a black woman on the SCOTUS?

If you've done complex system design for a long time then it is possible to breeze through these interviews almost on autopilot. The key is not the "design" per se but asking questions that rapidly constrain the design space and understanding the implications of second-order effects. If you do this regularly, like I do, it feels like a straightforward mechanical process rather than something that requires hard thinking. Muscle memory. System design is largely independent of a specific app or tech stack.

I tend to burn through these interviews so quickly that we have time leftover. It was always the easiest part of the FAANG interview process for me.

Feedback needed for marketing a SaaS WooCommerce plugin
Hello everyone,

I have put a lot of effort into building a WooCommerce plugin that sends messages through WhatsApp for various use-cases such as:

1: When an order is successfully placed
2: When the user abandons the cart
3: When someone submits a contact form
4: WhatsApp Click to chat.

I heavily invested in SEO by creating a wonderful landing page https://www.whatso.net/woocommerce-abandoned-cart.

I uploaded the plugin on AppSumo as well. I tried uploading it on CodeCanyon but somehow they didn't select it and also didn't give me a reason.

I am going to start Google Ads soon with even more focus on SEO.

I got a few customers and improved the product as well from their feedback but the kind of traction I was looking for, I am yet to get it.

I want to take the opinion of experts here on what else I can do to speed up the sales.
A simple content management system that lets me take a photo of an object using my phone, add some quick metadata or category about it, then have it sync to the cloud where I can later add more detail from my laptop. Ideally I'd have fine-grained control of collections and share images between collections. Bonus points if it can use some sort of ML to learn about my objects and make metadata suggestions. Extra bonus points if it's not a subscription based cost.
