Yeah, good point. NZ has similar latitudes down here as the USA has up there. Weather is very different since we don’t get continental effects.

Also NZ wasn’t really affected by ozone depletion, but the effects are definitely in our neighbourhood and we were worried. “While the ozone hole does not directly affect ozone concentrations over New Zealand, when it breaks up in spring it can send ‘plumes’ of ozone-depleted air towards us. This briefly decreases column ozone levels by around 5 percent, about the same amount as normal daily variation.”. Also see graph at https://niwa.co.nz/our-services/online-services/uv-ozone and notice ozone is lowest in NZ summer. Also measuring a column of ozone is most relevant in the tropics when the sun can be directly above one at noon, and less relevant when the sun doesn’t get so high above the horizon (location further towards poles, and winter versus summer). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9671831/
Yeah, sounds true enough.
That is an extremely tenuous connection.

Ask HN: How worried are you about the upcoming recession?
I hate to even talk about this but with all the bad news recently about the stock market downturn esp the NASDAQ, hiring freezes, rising interest rates, along with all the other negativity like Russia's war, continuing lock-downs in China with no end in sight and sky high oil prices all contributing to inflation, it seems like a recession might be inevitable at this point.

I am no economist but it is esp concerning to me that with particular recession due to inflation there don't seem to be any "easy" option like Quantitative Easing available to get out of it fast so I fear that this might a painful one which is adding to my anxiety. How worried are you and what are you doing to handle it? Is there a chance it could be as bad as 2008 or worse 2000? (I was not in the professional job market during those years so I have no idea how bad they were other than knowing they were real bad).
Out in the more capitalism-loving parts of the country, it was just called the idiot box, the boob tube, etc.

I liked that book. It uses differentials to give simple explanations of various derivatives, which seems to be frowned upon these days. You can download the book for free if I'm not mistaken. I once recommended it to a calculus class I was TAing for, though I don't think they were very impressed.
Ahh its the users fault for not reading the data before clicking.

Imagine an unholy text book where once you turn the page, the pages before become inaccessible. Its your own fault for not understanding everything on the previous page and you have to read the entire thing before you can start again to find that page.

Yes its the users fault.

If they do, have the US arms industry supply a set and a spare to every school-aged child in the country.

Consumption is directly related to production. If I was willing to live on the minimum I could have retired after only a couple years. People retire at 65 now like before, but with a lot more stuff their additional productivity gave them.

People seem to like it, so the argument that they shouldn't have so much junk is a bit flat.

I had never played a game before that felt so free. I spent so much time just discovering the world, what you could do. The magic system that invited you to break the game mechanics - at a cost. I love how playful it was, with items like the boots of blinding speed.

I don't know if any game can quite capture what I loved about Morrowind, but you might also like Outward, or Kenshi, if you'd like a similar feeling of discovering and surviving in a strange world that wasn't designed around you.

I read a story about a guy that made around that amount with Google ads and producing really generic articles - top 10 lists and such. So for people that don't run adblockers I suppose.

I also read about Wolfgang Gartner writing music based on top 10 music charts and just emulating those tracks - not sure how much money he made but he has 166k followers on SC.
I suspect the hyperactive hivemind culture that's been one result of new technology. Sure, there's a lot more passive consumption going on, but really, what I see is a non-stop communication stream where nobody really gets to that moment to really let the mind rest and get properly bored to put together the bigger ideas.

When I try to isolate, even for a couple of hours, I get criticized by coworkers or my spouse about not responding quickly. So I end up spending my time mostly communicating or trying to get back on track. It's rather sad.

Ideally AI could offload these constant distractions, so unnecessary communications just don't need everyone's immediate response. But, well, I'll believe it when I see it
I love how they're like "Oh yeah it's so tough, it can be dropped, dunked and washed regularly using the harshest of chemicals, bleaches and sanitizers."

> In tests, the gel film was able to wring an astonishing amount of water out of the air. At a relative humidity of 30 percent, it could produce 13 L (3.4 gal) of water per day per kilogram of gel, and even when the humidity dropped to just 15 percent – which is low, even for desert air – it could still produce more than 6 L (1.6 gal) a day per kilogram.

This could also be really good as a passive dehumidifier for humid air, especially in some of those summer months.

...except the fed doesn't have the authority to enact hiring freezes. They can raise interest rates which might cause hiring freezes, but it's also a policy tool with wide ranging effects so saying inflation is being "dealt with with hiring freezes" is still a bad characterization.
Here is a much better article on this case:

It signals that the man who sells a line of cars named "S3XY" likes sex a lot.
There is a central HR department that creates job postings, employs recruiters and sourcers, and handles standardized onboarding processes, but conducting interview loops and making hiring decisions is handled by each team individually. As opposed to companies like Google, where as I understand it, you get hired and then find a specific position.
When we come up with the potential to do more with less, we invent shit to fill the gaps. I remember discovering a video of an executive from Symbolics stating that the company's goal was to make software development of all but the largest projects feasible by a single person, with the rest done by small teams. And then I looked at my own Agile-encrusted, Scrum-addled, Node-encumbered team, which could barely get a simple web app deployed in half a year, and I was like uhhhhhhh...
This (more yield with longer duration) is true most of the time, but sometimes the yield curve inverts. Especially in recent months, the yield curve has flattened quite a bit.
Oh, you're right! Good catch, I agree that the numbers are accurately reflected as you had originally written them. Thanks again for compiling all this information, really helpful service to the broad community.
Yeah, see, my concern is that I am constantly going to be porting the site over to the developer’s framework du jour. Maybe I am overestimating what a rewrite requires.

I already know what I need the web application to do. It uses Flask, which I understand to be akin to driving a Dodge Caravan, but it gets me place to place. Updating it to Next.js or similar only feels necessary to me when the Dodge needs to be abandoned by the side of the road. For the developer, I am sure it feels like working on a useless piece of junk, but the developer is not the one that has to drive it place to place.
There are a number of self-perpetuating economic phenomena.

Bubble mentality is one.

The fastest way of learning something is to have a professional teach you. Not even the Internet can beat that. Because of cut backs to education, we have fewer good mentors. Because of loss in manufacturing in N. America there are fewer skilled professionals to pass on their knowledge.
You can argue semantics (I mean you're not really even trying) but the fact is that most pyramid schemes at least give some bottles of herbal supplements or crystals or something. Crypto is valued exactly as much as the rate that people keep buying it (minus a load of wasted electricity) and nothing else.

It is literally illegal in the US to advertise investments on TV yet there has been an absolute bombardment of marketing trying to get as many average joes as possible to buy crypto to goose the price. Enticing unsophisticated investors with a promise of massive rewards coupled with badgering FOMO is the exact MO of pyramid schemes.
Just to keep up with population growth the economy needs to grow so there will be enough jobs, goods, and services per capita. If per capita wealth is to increase, not only do there need to be more workers but also more output per person. It's very hard for an economy to be steady state. You're either growing or dying.

Productivity growth is efficiency. 3% of people work in agriculture when before 100% of people were subsidence farmers. The entire modern economy is possible due to productivity gains in food production.

What utility does the solid lumber provide over the lightweight softwoods? What utility does the copper provide over plastic?

For lightweight softwood, I can at least think of the utility that it will be cheaper. And for plastic over copper plumbing, same thing, it will cost less, but it will also be more resistant to corrosion and easier to repair.

To me Vultr had a network problem in a specific region (Silicon Valley) in the past intermittently but not recently. I never had any problems in Tokyo region.

One unique thing about Vultr is that they provide HDD block storage which is way cheaper than SSD one which seems to be the only option for any other clouds. If you need a large disk like for backups, Vultr is pretty attractive.

Not sure if this is a local observation that it is in fact lightly raining in Seattle at the moment, or a glib observation of the stereotype. Just adding this for context for other readers, not a correction or dispute.

The all time record high in Seattle (per the site’s data) was 107, last June. Other data I looked up shows 108. There are of course discrepancies between different data sources, my localized weather showed 112 that day. “Officially”, several days I’ve experienced >100 temps in my 20 years here are in the records as lower.

We typically have little to no precipitation during the summer. And of course every weather statistic varies by year, persistently higher summer temps have arrived (albeit lagging behind many other places) along with a much longer and more severe wildfire season over the last few years.

I’m crabby about the rain right now, but I fully expect to be relieved by it in a few short months.
The easy way is the to take a azure vm, get it exactly how you want it, and take a snapshot.

Last time I tried OVH, their interface was so confusing I just gave up before even considering it seriously.

The other ones are quite straightforward.
Another reason is that people have tried already, but it's more about compliance than anything. When it becomes about actually helping developers make interfaces so they don't have to hire designers, that will be way better than what anything like Accessibee etc have ever done.
Just FYI, I've never used the thing, and would never I think they're worthless.

This is because analysis is built upon the fantasy axiom of "real" numbers (of which, according to the measure theory of real analysis, 100% are impossible to even have names, even in principle, let alone compute with), instead of the solid foundations of algebra.
That sounds suspiciously similar to how I used to download large files on a shared 2GB/month data plan. My carrier didn't count incoming MMS messages towards the quota, and conveniently didn't re-encode images sent to their subscribers via their email-to-MMS gateway. So naturally, I'd SSH into my server, download what I wanted to download, and run the bash script I wrote, which split the downloaded file into MMS-sized chunks, and prepended a 1x1 PNG image to them, and then sent them sequentially through my carrier's gateway. This worked surprisingly well, and I had a script on my phone which would extract the original file from the sequence of "photos". It may still work, but I've since gotten a less restrictive data plan.

Did you see the same thing I saw? Cause you can filter by age by hitting the hamburger menu icon and there were 2000+ females returned under 30 years old that I didn’t have the heart to verify scrolling through the mugshots, it really gutted me and made it painful to see this blatant miscarriage of Justice.

Everyone please go and try out the age filter, it is frightening and highly effective in humanizing the plight of these people to say the absolute least. Something needs to be done for these oppressed humans.
Software will be fine for people who are in an unknown top X% of developers out there. Depending on how bad this is that might be the top 80%, it might be the top 1%.

The industry is so crazy now because of the last recession. Investors didn't know where to put their money after the real estate collapse and they decided to pour it all into funding startups hoping, at all costs, to catch the next Facebook.

We're starting to see that maybe even Facebook isn't really the next Facebook.

Additionally we never really solved the root of the last crisis: exploding credit/debt.

It's impossible to know how this will all really play out this time (who would have guessed that the pandemic would be immediately followed by a stock boom). However my advice would be to focus on adaptability. Don't chase a dead dream too long. If tech never comes back to the insane period we're in now, I think there will be a lot of former developers that suffer a long time before they realize this.
I think "most" people in tech still think this will be over soon, mainly because we don't personally feel the impact yet. Many of us are so used to the paradigm that we have seen in the past decade. We think stocks are so "cheap" right now. But they have been propped by injected liquidity for over a decade. The correction is just starting.

The Fed has no way to fix the current supply chain shortage issue, which is half the equation in the rising inflation, their only tool in the box is aggressive rate hike to dampen demand. Essentially Fed wants demand to go way down, we don't feel the impact yet because the stock market isn't cracked yet. Fed wants it cracked.
They have storage box, which allows for SFTP and other more familiar and easier to use protocols than S3 and very cheap except they only provide European region.

Their cloud servers are very cheap (like half the cost of other low cost competitors) but again, very limited regional presence outside Europe. At least they added US region lately.
Look at the file system as at a key-value store, only tree-shaped.
To add to this, I would really suggest that you get some perspective before you create a long list of tasks/books. Stillwell is not a popular science book but covers modern branches of mathematics. You could easily take a course in college and still have no idea what the point is at the end if your teacher is bad enough. You might also want to ask/search on math stack exchange rather than HN.
Amazing that the lead that a former presidential candidate tried to overthrow the legitimate president with a plot that consisted of planting a lie and hoping for the media to relentlessly talk about it, which they did for years, the FBI to investigate it as if they had no other duties, and that would result in further division of the country, isn't getting more coverage.

> On the bright side, it's rare for profitable large tech companies to lay off software engineers, so if you get in, you're pretty safe.

Many profitable tech companies have small scale, approximately annual layoffs, even in a strong economy. That said, I agree in general.
I’d like to read a summary some day going over what all these things are and who these people are. This newsletter assumes a massive amount of context and highlights things as if they are meaningful without explaining why.

It looks like something was going on, and I believe the author wants me to think it was a conspiracy against Trump, but this is so haphazardly written I don’t feel I can adequately determine anything from it.

i would imagine that directly editing the price on the label is over the line, and the analogy breaks down when compared to smart contracts with bugs.
This post comes off as dated. What you're describing is how the market was in summer 2021. Not spring 2022.

The paradigm shift occurred in March and the sentiment continues to chill each week. Any signs of a "golden age" are the remnants of decision making that occurred sometime in 2021.

Sort of - to the FDIC, the difference between a savings account and a checking account is that a checking account is a "demand deposit" account that historically didn't pay interest and a savings account is a "time deposit" that does. Capital One is telling you that this savings account is a time deposit to legally categorize it as different from a demand deposit so the FDIC treats them as two separate categories and gives them both the $250,000 deposit insurance. It's federal law that requires them to delineate the two.
You only need to worry if you have a series of very short stints, especially if there's any gap between them.

But one six month stint is fine, especially if you can explain it away with something pithy about how the economy tanked and the company shed a significant percentage of its workforce.
