Yeah, assuming a household of 2+2 in NYC/SF/Seattle:

* Renting a 3 bed near work (financial district) will cost around $70k/yr

* a nice car (a BMW M3-ish) + a cheap van (costs around $20k/yr

* Ordering in everyday costs $40k/yr

* Nice vacations and trips will easily cost $30k/yr

total = $160k/yr

wage = (250k x 0.7(taxes)) - 30k (401k, HSA) = $145k/yr

__________

Yep, I can totally see how allowing common types of 'tech-people life creep' will quickly lead to a paycheck-paycheck situation. I only outlined the macro-costs, and those still add up.

Of course, this also clearly outlines the main savings a person can make:

* Save on rent. always. 33% of your wage is a recommendation for poor-americans. Don't rent at 33% if you're making $250k (70k -> $35k)

* Cook if you can or pickup from your local street vendor, not doordash.($40k -> $15k)

* Buy a cheap car, or none at at all.

_________

It also outlines why a subsection of HN has been shouting about urban infrastructure reform in the US.

Higher density, more middle housing and better public transports allows for more housing supply, more walkable amenities and car-free lifestyles.

* Car free = save 15k/year (assume 5k for ubers, car rentals when needed, public transport)

* More walkable density = cheap food downstairs (NYC is an excellent example of this)

* More housing = cheaper rent (the biggest culprit)

__________

The numbers are staggering. I haven't added any of the extra costs that come with emergency medical care or children (except food and living). $250k is the top 5 percentile of households the US. Unless America makes its infrastructure efficient and sustainable, the current framework will bankrupt literally 95% of irresponsible spenders in HCOL regions in the US.

Worst of all, the cities are ugly, the concrete landscape is hellish and the hedonistic treadmill quickly catches up, as the new luxuries start feeling no different than a Motel or a Corolla.

Ok, apparently you didn't get that point either; let me explain; the fellow proposed that the bass player and drummer need to be "one creature with four arms and legs"; I made an alternative proposal because obviously no such creature exists, but as you might know there are still other musicians in a typical band, so there is still the issue with visual coordination. And anyway, I don't see any connection between your video and the ones I posted. DJ's are a completely different topic. So be it. Concerning your provocations: maybe try your luck on Reddit

Kubernetes solves a subset of your usual deployment problems and replaces it with a set of its own. I'd call it a tradeoff, but it's such a leaky abstraction that unless your Kubernetes fu is really strong it's mostly going to make your life harder. It's a nice keyword to have in your CV though. Most jobs that "require" it don't actually use it.

Email: michael.rago@gmail.com

I’m a software engineer based in the US and the co-creator of Able, an A/B testing framework for Jamstack Applications (http://able-test.com).

I'm very comfortable in the Node ecosystem, I have experience with Ruby, and significant exposure to Golang. But I'm an ambitious and enthusiastic polyglot, willing to learn any tool, framework or technology. My main interest is in backend programming, but I'm open to fullstack roles as well.

I'm seeking fully remote roles only at this time.

I say this with the best of intentions: I wish this went a little farther. A lot of the complexity comes from transcoding options, filters/transformations applied to the video/audio streams, and control of how the file gets put back together.

(And sometimes there are oddities about how they interact, or there is one option that seems very deprecated. It's like Eclipse, it's an engineer's tool, it's extremely powerful but god had no hand in the creation of the UX whatsoever, it is the unholy amalgamation of hundreds of modules that usually work, usually, mostly.)

Give me checkboxes for "resize this video", "convert framerate", "decomb filter", "burn hardsubs filter", a reasonable set of x264 or x265 transcoding options, audio transcoding and downmux, and options for controlling how it all gets reassembled.

It might help to list out some simple use-cases and then look at the ffmpeg features that would be required to get there, and then support those. But again, it's sort of hard to capture everyone's use-cases, ffmpeg is such a swiss-army knife.

Personally I use it for:

* to direct-stream cut (no re-encoding) slices of videos for memes

* to handle game replay captures (sometimes with re-encoding, sometimes not) and combine separate audio tracks into a file for youtube

* to handle game replay captures (always with re-encoding) but with separate audio tracks preserved

* to cut out audio tracks/subs that I don't want from a given movie/show when it becomes annoying

* to transcode a movie/show for archival at the minimum size/maximum quality

etc

In particular I'm not sure how to really tell ffmpeg to handle multiple audio/sub streams without programmatic interaction - you kinda need to know there are 2 audio streams and 4 sub streams, because you need to tell it what to do with each stream you want included in the output file, even if you do the exact same thing to every stream. If you have one show that's a little weird, fine, but without some kind of front-end it gets difficult to handle arbitrary content that is similar but not quite.

This is just the continuation of the post-Brexit decline of Britain. Nothing to see here folks. The Tories and Boris Johnson consider themselves repeatedly above their own rules and laws that they expect others to follow.
It's this particular paper that bugs me. People, including the linked to article's author, often cite "The Fable of the Keys" as a reason to poo poo Dvorak keyboards, or boost QWERTY keyboards, or further afield, deny path dependence in markets. The Fable of the Keys got cited ca 2000 as evidence that Microsoft couldn't possibly have a monopoly since path dependence doesn't exist.

Around 2003, I scrounged up a copy. Had to visit Denver's Auraria Campus library to find a microfiche copy of The Fable of the Keys. It's a terrible paper, long winded, poorly written even for academic journals. Really hard to get through. But all it has was sniping.

Dvorak probably did do bad research. QWERTY may beat all others. But The Fable of the Keys could be a 2 page note if that's its contribution. It's just an ideological screed masquerading as research. And it's often misused because of that.

I'm mostly a backend developer with low level C and C++ experience. I write high performance low level software and know assembly AVX techniques plus many optimization techniques. Linux is my preferred platform or BSD. But besides this I know Windows API, React, a lot about networking, VPNs and I'm always learning more.
TomTom is mostly a B2B company now. Their main customers are other companies like Apple. I doubt they make a lot of money from consumer devices.

Yup, this. I was homeless for a few years, mostly on the West Coast but I got around. The amount of bullshit a person can get away with correlates roughly with how cold it gets in Winter. In places where Winter kills people you can't be too unreliable or shitty because if the rest of the community shuns you, you die.

(I spent a couple of weeks in Boulder one Winter and my knuckles still ache when I think about it.)
Fair question, and not a good choice of words on my part.

It would be more effective to model positive employee outcomes like home ownership, debt-to-income ratio, retirement savings, education savings, health coverage, and the like.

On the contrary, some multi-billion dollar enterprises make a show of how the employment they provide is _designed_ to be temporary and low-paid. You aren't supposed to rely on this kid!

The reason they're under-compensated is that they aren't valued, unfortunately. A lot of scientists are self taught programmers and don't know what they don't know. The other issue is that if you say you should spend half your departments budget on hiring much better paid software developers, it looks really bad:

a. You're implying your colleagues are incompetent.

b. You can't use that money for "science".

c. It puts in painful relief that the software guys are much better paid than you are, implying that their work is more valuable than yours. But a lot of scientists put up with low pay because they believe their work is really valuable.
I worry that the takeaway for people that only read clickbait headlines about the 2012 Stradivarius study was: expert violinists can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive violins.

All the new violins in that study were high-end instruments by trained artisans, which can easily be $100,000 or more. So really the takeaway is: modern players like violins from today's masters of violinmaking as much as or more than those by Stradivarius.
OK great, but being good at one doesn’t mean you’re automatically good at the other, or that it’s some ‘lesser’ field’s fault when you screw it up.

In this case, due apparently to arrogance, neither was produced.

>I'm surprised that you can make more money from bike accessories than from aircraft avionics

Maybe if you're Garmin, and make very little aircraft avionics. They've never made much on it, since they only make a tiny piece of what aircraft use.

Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, GE (still in the game?) make enough on aircraft avionics to buy Garmin many times over. Garmin never made it into the space of high end aircraft positioning systems.

So much to say. I went through the whole academic cycle and moved to industry... about 15 years ago. I can't put it any other way than: the professors and PIs are abusing their employees. It has worked for some time because there were always enough people ultra-motivated to work in science for the prestige and other perks, but now, the economy is such that people can no longer do that (science job + family + mortgage = unhappy).

The right way to think about this is in terms of long-term politics and the success of nations. If you disincentivize national research, your country will fare worse than its competitors. For me, that's the US- if the US doesn't turn around the incentive systems for doing high quality academic research in the national interest, we will eventually be at an economic disadvantage to China.

Oregon is working on stepping up the public health offering, albeit at a glacial pace. The ballot measure which decriminalized drugs specifically earmarked the money formerly used for enforcement to be used to expand drug treatment offerings.

Some good points there. I frequently see comments, even here, complaining about people like Bezos and Musk's wealth as though it was literally a pile of cash. Musk in particular has almost no cash at all, his wealth is entirely in the form of ownership stakes in his companies. The only way he could spend that is by selling those stakes and losing control of the companies.

I shed no tears for the guy, he's legit super rich, but he cannot just spend 100 $Bn. In order to bid for Twitter he had to sell a big chunk of Tesla and take loas out against a lot of his shares. Like I said, super rich, but within some real constraints.

Having said that of course he could cash out. Bezos is doing exactly that, Bill Gates still owns a chunk of Microsoft but he's sold a big part of his shares to fund his philanthropy. You absolutely can turn those valuations into real money, but only by either taking big loans against them which eventually need to be settled, or selling up.
Child care, clothing, dry cleaning, car insurance & maintenance, parking, gym membership, eating out all add up. Oh yeah, gas too.
