Relying on people to honestly self report on being transferred wealth.

I wish that illicit scheduled drugs, like the ones legal at the state level, just had the mere standardized study for any side effect

I hate that we are relying on anecdotes, and for recreational state level approval we have approved for every use case and that this is the best we can do while debating the polar opposite style of federal prohibition

Federal FDA approvals for everything else are for a single use case or ailment at a time, and then we get all the side effects they found for an informed decision.

States approvals have…. nothing. California industry just throws a random “maybe cancer” logo on it and calls it a day!
Yeah, for foreign types you will have to use the "newtype" pattern, aka: define your own wrapper struct.

Hello everyone it is possible to retrieve your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it is not possible. But sometime in February I fell for a binary options scam which promised a higher return and I lost close to $75,000. I read an article on (reddit) as regards to a recovery expert and genius so I reached out to Scam Recovery Site, and to my surprise I got all bitcoins recovered within 48hours frame. I don’t know if I’m allowed to share the links on here but you can contact them if you are finding it very difficult to withdraw your funds kindly contact; hackadviserpro @ gmail com…. All Thanks To Them.

Isn't that exactly like horse betting

It's like if you see a friend betting a bunch of money on a long-odds horse and then winning. You exercised good judgement, but he won anyway. Do you feel penalized for applying your better judgement in that situation?

The only thing that really matters is: was it the right decision given the information you had at the time?

If cost is the only measure: I understand. But time lost in various areas of the software package (performance alone! Before we get into weird UX paradigms and esoteric query languages, shoddy search systems etc;) surely has an impact on cost. Having your employees spending a lot of time navigating janky software has a cost too.

The best argument I can think of for why humans should not have wealth disparities at levels of 500,000,000,000:1 is that Tax Induced Psychosis appears to be a thing.

> If you're trying to discover new products of unknown quality and reputation, then it's not so good. For whatever reason, that seems to be the use case people focus on when criticizing Amazon on Hacker News, but I don't see how that can possibly be the dominant use case. Most of what people ever buy is not something brand new to them that they know nothing about.

First of all, HN is full of entrepreneurs and wannabe entrepreneurs. A storefront that can't sell anything that doesn't have a good reputation outside the storefront is bad for small businesses, because nobody is willing to try anything new. A major part of the value proposition of a storefront is that the owners will vet the products they sell for a minimum standard of quality: it's not necessarily great, because greatness is subjective, but the food shouldn't poison you[1] and the AC/DC power converters shouldn't catch fire.

The second problem is that sellers will pass off counterfeit goods as being from major manufacturers when they aren't. I know I'm falling for selection bias, since I've probably bought counterfeit goods without knowing it, but that's not even really the point. The point is that I've bought stuff on Amazon that just didn't work, sold in packaging that's identical to stuff I've bought before that did work. I knew they were counterfeit and not just duds because the actual product didn't have the branding on it that genuine ones always have.

Depending on the jurisdiction, property taxes are usually a function of the property valuation. So at least if the property value goes down, theoretically so do your annual property taxes. The problem with a theoretical wealth tax, is that when the asset value goes down, too late you've already paid your wealth tax.
Writing a thread pool which is performant and scalable is surprisingly hard, I did couple times. And now, whenever I can, I tend to avoid doing that. Instead, I prefer using the stuff already implemented by someone else, in OS userlands or runtime libraries.

• C and C++ runtime libraries have OpenMP. Level of support varies across compilers but still, all mainstream ones support at least OpenMP 2.0.

• .NET runtime comes with its own thread pool. The standard library provides both low-level APIs similar to the Windows’ built-in one, and higher-level things like Parallel.For remotely comparable to OpenMP.

• Windows userland has another one, see CreateThreadpoolWork and SubmitThreadpoolWork APIs introduced in Vista. The API is totally different though, a programmer needs to manually submit each task to the pool.

• iOS and OSX userlands also have a thread pool called Grand Central Dispatch. It’s very comparable to the Windows version.

Not to be a pain but Node has its place in distributed, single-core servers
> But they just straight up don't run in constant time, so they're vulnerable to a timing attack across the network. That's clearly just a library bug? Like surely the dumbest part of a "constant time" algorithm is double checking that you ran for a constant wall clock amount of time?

It's... hard. A lot of the "constant cache behavior" and "constant time behavior" algorithms were written back in the day when the CPU speeds didn't change randomly on you, or at worst toggled between "idle" and "running hard." Think... oh, even the Core 2 days, really. They didn't switch that fast.

And then the hardware behavior changed out from under the algorithms, and nobody noticed. Now the throttling is far more rapid. So they may still be "constant instruction count," but that no longer implies constant time.

It's... complicated. :( And what's worse, even the people in charge of managing the complexity don't understand all the details anymore. When stuff like this surprises Intel, we've got problems.
Pick a Bayesian prior and roll with it. 20% of Gen Z is identifying as LGBT. Seems high to me. If we see another doubling for the next generation then something would seem to be obviously different. One doesn’t need to disentangle the effects per se

It's not working. Jeff Bezos said he can't think of anything to do with his money other than build rockets while people die in his warehouses. Too much money makes people out of touch. I don't think billionaires are evil, I just think they don't know what life is like for people who still have a concept of "cost of living."
Nice. :-)

We don’t have to be absolutist about it. Houses are not nearly as volatile as stock, so evaluating and taxing them as wealth is pretty feasible.

If the parent is threaded and the host has more than one CPU, then fork() == TLB shootdowns, which are slow.

As well there's the cost of all those page faults that the two processes are likely to take to do the copying.

And lastly there's all sorts of complexity involving multiple parent threads calling fork(), or the child calling fork() again (or vfork()) before calling exec.

It's just much easier to copy the resident set and mark the address space as being CoW, because now you only have to worry about page faults for pages that are not in core anyways and so were going to fault anyways, and that means you don't have to worry about TLB shootdowns either (if a page is not in core, it's not referenced by any TLB either). You still have the multi-fork issues, but now you can use an atomic reference count on the address space.

So you're saying all of those figures were more motivated by money rather than building something of value. Do you truly think they were more motivated by money than by glory, a competitive spirit, a desire for legacy?

I don't think understanding how a hash map, an incredibly simple data structure used frequently, is all that "low level." If I really wanted low level, I would talk about having linked lists of arrays rather than a linked list of nodes so that you could benefit from fewer random lookups.

I'm a big fan of 100% taxation on anything above 999M, but my continuation here is that anyone that earns more than that gets a trophy for every additional 1B they earn put on display in a big museum in a city of their choice (Museums selectively scattered around the US).
From experience, I find the better option is to just move on.

Controlling a company requires shares, and shares are networth, it is good that companies are controlled by people who most understand them, and those are the people who started/built them.

Voting shares don't have to have monetary value. Rememeber Google's IPO where the founders had stock with 10 votes per share, or Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock with 1/10000th the voting rights as class A?

So a founder could retain control of a company without becoming personally rich.
I am going to say that you sound a bit confused.

> But as we consider the inflation we are seeing today, try to imagine how it would be if the inflation is not 5-10% but 29500%

Hitler took power 10 years after the hyperinflation. People didn’t vote for the NSDAP because of hyperinflation, nor they started hating the Jews more than before because of it.

> You are absolutely right that antisemmitism didn't suddenly pop up in 1922, or even with the creation of the "Protocols" conspiracy. But prior to 1922, antisemitism probably wasn't worse in Germany than most other western countries.

Antisemitism was rampant everywhere in the West, the Germans only took it to its inevitable consequences and only after 1933. Of course, this doesn’t change the fact that nazis were criminals, but the Shoah has much deeper roots that the hyperinflation or some temporary unemployment.

For instance, only in 1870 Roman Jews became full citizens, before then they couldn’t own property and, among other things, once a year they were forced to run naked during the Roman carnival. This was only 60 years before Hitler seized power.

You can find similar stories about all cities that had a large Jewish community.

> The person that would say today, that "It's ok to punch a nazi." (meaning MAGA-republican), might very will be the person in 1923 thinking that "It's ok to punch a jew.".

No, it’s not the same thing because no MAGA-republican has been punched and arrested and they even elected a president.

If they file a case in court, they are entitled subpoena documents that might support their case, including emails. There is an established procedure for that and company legal/compliance departments have legal-hold policies to freeze anything that might be relevant for a pending legal case.

Trying to forcibly steal those documents/emails is a wonderful way to being charged with a computer crime if it's serious enough. ...but lesser consequences include public lawsuits that impact your career prospects (we did this to one high ranking employee who tried to email herself powerpoint strategy presentations she made and copied to a USB). ...but at the very least, having an attempted theft of documents on record will get any future allegations they might make against the company much easier to throw out.

Even then: if you take money and squirrel it away long enough in a vault then the market is essentially going to price in whether it thinks you are likely to spend it in the near future and effectively deflate the currency a bit to give everyone more buying power... like, imagine if you instead took money and literally burned it in a fire, and then try to figure out the statistical difference on supply and demand over the next five to ten years between money burned in a fire and money whose primary purpose is as a trophy swimming pool for an aging duck.

Hair transplant worked really well. Natural-looking hairline, which is the most important part. You'll see a lot of before and afters where the hairline looks like a Lego block hair piece was snapped into place - choose your doctor carefully here.

> Of course, one could argue Ukraine has a right to self determination, but we effectively egged them on and on.

One could argue that, but that would be their eagerness to ignore and dismiss important details of Ukraine's founding legal documents that made their independence possible in the first place.

If one reads the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of Ukraine from 1990 [1], one will find it in Chapter IX: "The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention to become a permanently neutral state in the future, which does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three non-nuclear principles: not to accept, produce or acquire nuclear weapons".

Ukraine's constitutional sovereignty has always been and still is predicated on respecting these conditions, but a whole lot of politicians, foreign and domestic, want you to believe otherwise because it serves their political goals.

It's much easier to prove if someone stabbed you than it is to prove they caused you mental anguish. We have very poor tools to accurately measure the direct effects of speech.

Your point seems a little orthogonal. If I pay tax on X value in year 1, value goes up and now I pay X*1.1 in year 2, then back to X in year 3 because the home value lowers again, I don’t get a refund for the extra 10% paid in year 2 despite the fact that I never realized any value in the fact that my home appreciated for a year.
I'll go ahead and say it: Amazon is frighteningly large. Any time I visit a UPS store, the lines are out the door and most of the people are there to make amazon returns. I see amazon delivery trucks throughout my town - its incredible what Bezos has achieved but I fear its just gone too far.

I'm only 32 and I've seen so many companies shutting down; partly due to consumer shifts, but also by amazon pushing them out of the market. The pandemic also caused a few big players to get thrown under, but it seems that amazon only grew bigger.

The future looks strange.

What the tweet is saying, and it seems right, is that looking at a probability graph the only way to get the billionaire-like outcome/outlier is to dramatically increase volatility, i.e. bet on long odds. If everyone went to work, maxed out their 401k, bought blue-chip stocks, and called it a day, basically nobody would have outlier net worth. But some people choose to increase the volatility of their money (buying crypto, starting a company, options trading, whatever) and as you'd expect 99.9999% of them don't get rich and the rest of them get uber-rich.

lol, most of amazon's money comes from things that weren't the core competency that they figured out how to do at scale.

The 'focus on your core competency' is for small companies on tight budgets with tight human resource capacity. When you have a few mil employees, email is a core competency, when you have a dozen, it's a pain in the ass. The same goes for AWS. def wasn't a core competency, but a huge part of the reason we can tell businesses to focus on core competencies is because amazon made SaaS, IaaS, PaaS a thing.

IDK about real estate. It probably makes sense to own your office buildings and warehouses at scale. They probably have a real estate team that's bigger than most companies that are 'focusing on core competencies' and it probably doesn't look too different than any super focused brokerage.

Once you hit scale, the money is in doing it in house. When you're paying by seat, it becomes a core competency about the time the cost to run a team of pros to do the same job is <= to paying per seat.

This may have been a misstep assuming that their pandemic growth would continue. I believe that's what they said in their last earnings call, something to the effect that they scaled quickly to address additional market capacity that was short lived.

Would assume they'll be just fine. Probably read the tea leaves wrong but I don't think this is getting off track and forgetting what they do to make money.
