It wasn't intentional on my part, but it appears the hub I link will provide 3.5 watts of power to each port:

https://support.satechi.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405450897435-...

And I'm again not familiar with power requirements for external drives, but it appears that is sufficient for at least some 2.5" USB drives?
SPACs are ridiculous. The sponsors take the lions share of the profits. Free money in many cases.. and the small investors get absolutely nothing. The whole scheme was rife with manipulation and excess. Not surprised GS is taking the conservative route. It only means they know the hammer is coming down on the shenanigans that took place.

It’s not at all unreasonable for consumers to want a USB hub to function like “just give my computer more ports.” So no, it wouldn’t be unreasonable or idiotic to expect something that works plugged directly into your computer to also work when plugged into your computer via a hub.

It is less reasonable for a consumer to expect that any chain of adapters or cables that uses multiple totally different types/generations of connector would still support every feature of the computer’s built-in port.
> But can we observe the effect of the leadership on a tactical or operational level?

It's apparently (there are other factors) a major contributor to their tactical and operational problems, because centralized command and control vs. distributed initiative around a central plan makes high level commanders single points of failure, and they are experiencing lots of failures, losing more than twice as many generals so far in Ukraine than the USSR lost in a decade in Afghanistan, as well as large numbers of other senior officers.

> Soldiers die, why shouldn't generals?

The operational problem isn't “generals sometimes die”, it's that the military organization is paralyzed without centralized response, which would be a problem even if generals weren't getting killed. But pushing senior commanders forward and in more exposed positions to mitigate that problem is exacerbating, rather than mitigating, it when instead of shortening the command response cycles it lengthens it because the commanders are getting killed.
For something that wasn't meant to be interacted with by humans on the regular, I can see why you wouldn't include comments.
You might want to express yourself clearer then.

You pretty categorically said "You don't", and said "compiling kernels 24/7", which is something no one does. The implied message there is that the vast majority of people don't need lots of CPU, and there is some "better software" which can eliminate CPU requirement for this. Please correct me if I misunderstood your point.

My reply was an anecdote that when working on C++ codebase, the beefy machines are required. The implied message was that a sizeable fraction of people _do_ need the lots of CPU, and no amount of "better software", whatever it is, can help. Given the website we are on (HN), there is a large number of people reading your message who routinely actually use languages with long compile times.

Therefore, your statement of "You don't" is not correct, I really do need it, despite not encoding video or compiling kernels on my local machine.

Hopefully this makes it clearer for you.
GS definitely got that call. Remember, long term greedy..

No, you're responding to someone that just asserted concrete evidence doesn't establish truth, and that anyone that reads primary sources is probably a nutjob.

Besides, I think HN would throttle you well before you got a few percent of the way through them.
No, I think they are lying when they say the ACLU is suing to "prevent the public from receiving public records from the Washington State Department of Corrections on the number of inmates in state custody who identify as transgender and the number of male inmates who are housed in women’s facilities" because there are no such records and they are actually suing to prevent the release of people's identities. They are also lying by omission and competently misrepresenting the case by not mentioning what other kind of information was requested and how the government intends to respond to the request for the statistics it doesn't possess.
I agree. The "rat race" is a competition with other humans. "Keeping up with the Joneses".

For every person saying "I'll not fly" or "I'll buy an efficient car" there are many more who'll be happy to take their spot on the plane or buy the 2000+kg SUV gas guzzler.

I really don't understand the author's points. The main point is "work-life balance", but these don't seem to make sense:

All of these are actually worse or much lower chance of being better compared to a job at Google.
How to make a $800M in crypto attacking the once-3rd-largest stablecoin
Tons of answers here. I think, if you want complex usb-pd offerings, you need to accept a pretty high $$$ price for all those power regulation subsystems you are demanding. I would be surprised to hear that indeed all the current offerings require wall power, that none can operate off laptop/uplink- I think you are wrong. But perhaps.

Overall I think the main current barrier to entry has been usb-c alt modes. If someone plugs a hdmi adapter into one of the hubs ports, ehat happens then? USB3+C's crazy lane splitting has been pretty suboptimal for figuring out what the role of a hub really is in the world today.

USB4 at least fixes that, makes usb a packet switched transport that tunnels other protocols. Now if someome plugs a displayport adapter into a hub, it's just going to use bandwidth. The whole tree under the usb-root doesnt have to totslly rebuild itself to make available a lane for some other purpose. The flexibility of usb-c, with it's two channels, is a complexity we've only finally specified a proper means to make use of. It's getting better. Looking forward to some other companies starting to offer hub chips, seeing this young new scene begin to evolve.

> For starters, how about paying at least the capital gains rate?

> For large businesses, they’re finding ways to pay less than 20%.

People do pay capital gains tax when they realize capital gains. What makes you think they don't?

Businesses pay corporate income tax which is a different thing altogether. They're already double-taxed (when the company turns a profit, and again when they distribute those profits to shareholders).

> But tabulate all of the ongoing costs to build and maintain our national infrastructure, legal system (no business without the courts), law enforcement branches, etc.

> Deduct the income taxes currently levied on wage earners.

> Roughly, the rest of the money needs to come from corporate taxes and capital gains.

Not true at all. There are excise taxes, import duties, sales and property taxes (these fund local and state governments, which handle a lot of the courts and law enforcement), payroll taxes (paid by the employer, not part of the income tax). There are other options that are not implemented in the US, like VAT, land-value taxes, financial transaction taxes. The government also has other sources of funding like fines, fees, bonds, inflation. There are many things besides capital gains and corporate income taxes.

> If you recall, property tax deductions were capped and so overnight the Republican government found a way to increase the average earners’s budget. Mortgage interest deductions are next.

The average earner doesn't itemize deductions because they won't exceed the standard deduction, which was raised at the same time that the state and local tax deductions were capped. Those deductions were mainly a way to subsidize states that charge high state taxes (which happen to have more high earners) at the expense of states which charge low income taxes (and happen to have lower earners).

Mortgage interest deductions are already capped and again mainly benefit higher earners who can afford large mortgages that would actually have enough interest to make it worthwhile to itemize.
Thanks so, so, SO, much for creating this!
It's not entirely clear, but I suspect the author is referring to their base salary at Google. The fact that Replit, a startup, provided a salary capable of covering his expenses (which were equal to 85% of his salary) is another clue that he's not included RSUs in the calculation.

> I would like to stay but when I do the math on the cost of staying, the numbers seem crazy to me. Like $500,000 annual to stay in this area, married with 2 kids in college.

Bay Area is definitely livable on far below $500K.

The "2 kids in college" makes your math impossible to guess because that could be anywhere from a minor footnote to the entirety of your budget if you're trying to pay full sticker price tuition in real-time with no prior savings (which almost nobody does, but it would make the math look terrifying). That's not really a feature of the Bay Area, though, because you'd carry that college line item on your personal budget wherever you moved.

> Am I doing the math wrong?

You’d need to show your estimated incomes and expenses and explain your retirement goals.

As a Bay Area native it seems high unless you’re paying $50k/yr for expensive colleges.

I’d expect the same to be doable with a reasonable social life and vacations for 300k (still a lot).

So distributed transactions with two phase commit, XA and all that. Imagine what, microservices hipsters tried that and it turned out too slow and cumbersome so they invented "sagas" which are still immensely more complex than a single transaction in a single database.

Some people like that arrangement. In fact, it has been the norm in certain cultures.
The Federalist Papers, particularly those of Hamilton and Madison. Notably #84: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_No._84

Ironically, Hamilton was both wrong and right here. He was right that by enumerating rights in the BoR that it has empowered the government to view those rights as the only ones that are untouchable (and not even that.) However, he was wrong that the COTUS would stand on its own to protect individual rights due to its strict limiting of the government's ability to infringe those natural rights -- which it very much has done.
I think a lot of the sibling comments here misunderstand the concept of labor-backed money (rather than debt-backed money, which we have in the United States today).

First - currency is the physical note, coin, IOU, etc. Money is the concept.

With debt-backed money like the US dollar, the money is created by a private bank (the Federal Reserve) in exchange for US Treasury bonds - debt.

The currency supply is controlled by the US Treasury, but the money supply is controlled by the Federal Reserve.

Labor-backed money as I understand it, would be created by the Treasury in exchange for labor. The Treasury would control the supply of both money and currency. Crucially, to create money, labor must be performed. Similar to debt-based money, where debt is created by the government as the basis of money - in this case, labor would be "created" by the price (in new money) offered for it.

There is no need to have some centrally-planned, mandated valuation of a certain tradesman's time vs another trade or profession - the government puts out lots of contracts for bid today with no such mechanism in place, and it wouldn't need to change.
> You claimed that the numbers I referenced were based on a clear scam. The resource is in fact the first resource you will find if you google "per tb storage cost".

There are plenty of scams to be found via Googling. You will also find many fake uSD cards for low prices as well, or other products. Google is simply a search engine not an infallible filter for what is or isn't a scam. The facts about the relative pricing should carry far more weight than the position in the search results.

> You stated that I had made oversights about total cost, something I never referred to.

The lack of reference to total cost is itself the oversight being referred to so it could only be problematic if you had referred to it not the other way around.

> You claimed without any reference that the numbers I mentioned were off by multiple orders of magnitude.

I actually referenced the other numbers in your original resource for the first order of magnitude. I explained the reasoning for the second order and I accept opposing reasoning if you disagree but you haven't provided any reasoning only reaction to the idea I'd disagree.

> You said I'm "hellbent on saying this half billion/year doesn't matter". I made no such statement and don't feel that way at all.

The quote was actually "If you're hellbent..." not "You are hellbent on".

> You said I was wrong about the way peering agreements are priced between ISPs and Google, but offered no other insight other than just saying I'm wrong.

You made the claim it's based on connections not bandwidth therefore it is your burden to provide some backing why it's true not everyone else's burden to assume it's true until they can prove it's not.

That said it doesn't even require knowing their all of their peering agreements to prove, Internet Protocol (IP) is not session based. BGP peering is done to exchange IP reachability information but it knows nothing of the sessions between those IPs as session information is another level up above the internet in the network stack https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/UD...

.

Again though none of this is providing what the more accurate good faith interpretation should have been. These are simply further reactions to my given interpretation.

> You just called me reactionary.

I have and you've said multiple things to me that could be taken worse than that but it'd be counterproductive to focus on these kinds of minor things when the goal is constructive conversation so I don't feel the desire to end messages with callouts about them

The Stock Market Selling Storm Is over - Time to Buy
Agreed, author seems deluded and kool-aid enduced. I'm all for change when it makes sense to you. Sticking with a company you're not charged up for often feels like torture, but any semblance of what they said in the article and "work-life balance" feels way off the mark.
I think this is probably approximately true, at least if everyone involved is ok with it (I hope the author's family is), but it's a bit weird to describe it as fulfilling work-life balance which isn't usually used in a way that's neutral about how they should be balanced (ie. even if all of the above is true, it would still usually be described as a "bad balance").
Left for work life balance and then this:

I work more hours. I’m more likely to be working in the evening or on the weekend now. But what I do makes a difference that I can see. Progress feels 10x faster

Might feel more satisfaction but the work life balance is still missing and eventually will come back to make him write "Why I left Repl.it"

Eastern traditions have solved this a long time back. You have to break the cycle.
Switching teams doesn’t solve the problem. It’s company-wide culture. No one has fire in their bellies because of the infinite ads revenue firehose.
How about a more charitable interpretation, rather than accusing people of lying: ACLU's position is that these shouldn't be public records, WoLF's is that the government should release whatever public records are required to fulfil the request.
That does seem like a justifiable interpretation, and I'm inclined to agree. They mentioned militia for a reason. And it makes sense -- if the point of arming the citizenry is as a check on federal tyranny, then a militia is how it will have to happen. The idea that the 2A is about self-defense seems a very recent interpretation.
There are super cheap usb-a to usb-c-female adapters, tiny little cable-less adapters. I heartily recommend buying in quantity, so your existing charging gear can all expose usb-c.

Then I buy usb-c to usb-c cables. And a usbc-to-usb-micro adapter, which comes with a little chain that clips on to the cable. I use less and less micro (the majority of my recent dev boards have been usbc for example) but having a cable good for both is super convenient & easy.
You can just ask. They’ll give you the other menu. They always have for me. Though you’ll need to be able to read it of course
Contrary to some sibling posts, datapath width isn't really the limiting factor for comprehension IMO; everything is "wider" but not more difficult to understand. For example, undergraduate computer engineering students could and did design pipelined in-order 32 bit processors as part of their studies.

At least IMO superscalar + out of order execution was when things really became too complex to hold comprehension of the entire processor in one's head.
> In 2020, the pandemic destroyed bucket #3 for most people. We were no different. Friends from back home in Canada couldn’t visit us. Even meeting up with local friends became hard. In January 2021 I tore my achilles tendon playing pick-up basketball. There goes bucket #2.

> Only then did I realize bucket #1 had been running low for a while.

I'm somewhat puzzled. If the author is struggling to socialize with friends (bucket #3) and struggling to pay attention to physical health (bucket #2) then why does he think that this is going to help improve work-life balance:

> I work more hours. I’m more likely to be working in the evening or on the weekend now.

I can empathize with the desire to get caught up in a high-energy startup (it's fun!) but this whole blog post reads like someone trying to replace an increasingly disappointing personal life with excessive workaholism. Filling your days with extra work can fill the "bucket #1" (career) but it seems like a nail in the coffin for the author's problems with bucket #2 (physical health) and bucket #3 (social life).

Posts like this are a dream come true for investors and startup founders. "Lacking satisfaction in your life? Come work harder for less money at someone else's startup!" I suspect this blog post is going to become a staple on VC Twitter and in startup recruiting pitches for the next few years.
