My accountant has always said, so long as I get a receipt/invoice that corresponds to the transaction, and the company/country isn't knowingly sanctioned, and the services rendered were licit and bonafide, its all good.

This is my US-based accountant for my US-based corporation, but I'm sure it translates well.
Americans have both kinds of dating. The more formalized date progression is usually for older people and for people who don't know each other organically from social circles. But I'd guess most couples meet in social circles and sort of pair off when they decide its going somewhere.

Movies and TV focus on the formal stuff because its a better source of comedy/drama.
Yep, various holy books talk about usury and they're quite old.
The headline asks a rhetorical question and the article argues that the answer is more complicated than "duh, they walked there". That's the whole point.
From what I understand, gang murders happen. Period. People just naturally form tribal alliances, that can escalate into murderous feuds. The question is not whether or not this should happen, because it will happen (history provides countless examples) -- it happens all the time, even when it's strictly illegal with severe punishment. It's a tragedy, but it happens a lot and apparently we can't control it.

The question is whether -- once it happens -- we want it to be safe, above board, with medical professionals informed. Or if we want it to happen in our streets, with a coat hanger, at significant risk to the instigator.

My take on that is that we thus need 'gang feud centers' where gang members can play games of rock, paper, scissors and the loser is sent to the gas chamber. That's so much better than having people become disabled due to shootings and thus become drains on the systems, or have to live with that for the rest of their lives.

How is it even possible to employ someone in the US without knowing their legal identity?
It reads to me like they looked at what progressive-leaning companies put in their diversity statements and decided "we'll just do the opposite of that!" Their diversity/culture documentation is essentially a right-wing screed against "woke" companies.

They're right about one thing: It's not particularly professional.

I find his response about $400k paid people and marx a bit odd. More money going to the people actually doing the work vs. the top would certainly be right up Marx ally.

Made me giggle, thanks. :)
We had the some problem evaluating it for our startup. We were planning on using it to deploy ROS in the field and leverage the benefits. I was quoted $20k/year to get started and I think that also included 10 or 20 devices in the field. Then additional costs for that.

There was so many hacks to get it working with ROS since we rely on hardware for robotics to communicate with sensors, actuators, and network. Basically broke the security model to get our application working. We didn't go with it and went Debian as well :D
Isn't this what happened to products like PKZip and Lotus 1-2-3? Seems like there's ample precedent.

No, nukes are the slowest, and worst performing.

Starting a nuke, we get no power out for a decade or more, and get much less power at the end than building renewables with the same money, which furthermore start displacing carbon immediately.
The obvious reason is that the people with decision-making power actively wanted people to be locked in to Internet Explorer (and so Windows), so Tasman's improved standards-compliance was a negative.
The “missing integer” example is awkward, because what’s interesting here is not whether you can solve the problem with xor or plus, but whether you need two loops or just one. Edit: I guess overflow is one consideration, as mentioned in the article.
Lots of these games have a few key things:

#1 everyone likes doing things that are considered chores. They just don't like to do them when it gets boring / stressful. For example I like powerwashing... but if I had to do it for 10 hours straight I'd hate it too.

#2 lots of those things require special circumstances, training, skills, big cost investment, risk. The game eliminates all that. Don't own a house? can still power wash without having to buy the gear, a house, and wait a few years.

#3 risk is a big one. I enjoyed truck simulator (for a short bit). Why? Because I can veg out while driving and there's no consequences. Or literally plow through traffic and not care. I can be as careful / careless as I want to be and it just works.

Its a way to take things you hate doing and have to pay attention while you do them, and let you veg out and enjoy the enjoyable part of the task.

I'm sorry, but are you saying that the high price of EVs is due to fossil fuel prices? EVs were far out of reach of the average person well before fuel prices ticked up. They're priced high because they're based on relatively new technology and processes.
I think at the moment blockchain is synonymous with "crypto".

Imagine you fell for a ponzi scheme. Now imagine you knew where the person who ran that ponzi scheme was.

The remark is a bit flippant (and feels grammatically incorrect) but the sentiment remains.

Lots of people view crypto as a get-rick-quick scheme on both sides. Even after warnings of "don't put any money in that you aren't comfortable losing" people put in money that they aren't comfortable losing. Coupled with the fact that most of these crypto projects maintain very high levels of community involvement (normally through discord/twitter). Sometimes when people lose a lot of money they lash out at the systems they lost money through. So they turn on the devs of whatever chain/token they gambled on.
> It's not logical or financially wise
I'm taken aback by this statement. I am in an incredibly similar situation to your wife in terms of growing up and being successful today, and I do this. Granted, I think I'm at 3.5 months, but the point stands.

Sure, the money isn't generating more wealth, but that amount is finite. It's a cushion that should effectively indefinitely and every dollar beyond is vigorously invested. And, should something happen to employment, you use it as a buffer (assuming no severance) and replenish as soon as you're employed again.

I have a friend who helped me get where I am. He makes even more than I do, but financially, I'm more well off than he is because he thinks that every single dollar needs invested -- to the point that despite making the top 2-3% of income for our entire region, he regularly is paying off revolving credit card interest because he isn't equipped to pay a $500 unexpected expense.

Sure, if you invest every single dollar, it's always earning 7-10% on average. But if you have to then pay 20%+ APR on credit cards because you can't handle unexpected expenses, it begs the question whether you're really getting ahead.
Or just a random senior dev at a FAANG. Can't speak for all of them, but that's definitely not uncommon at Meta/Google. And you are certainly gonna shoot above that number at L6.
Some of the thread is reasonable - e.g. the ESL Saudi and pronouns - but trying to get ahead of a critical article by saying “FUD! Don’t believe the news! Apply now!” is not the best look.
Touch ID isn't really biometric authentication. It is hardware token authentication, and that hardware token is unlocked via biometrics. The end application then authenticates with the hardware token. It works similarly to a Yubikey Bio Series token. It is actually an additional layer of protection over what you'd have with most physical hardware tokens, which can be used by anyone who possesses them.

While you can't change your fingerprint, you can change which token is registered with the end application, so that concern is mitigated.

My partner is a post doc with an Ivy League background. If I wasn’t in tech she would essentially be eating Ramen and living in a box to survive.

The structure is such bullshit. Incentive to get a postdoc is super low IMO. You make 50k after 10+ years of training and publications and are treated like a second class citizen. They need to offer more money and better benefits with an actual path for growth.
It’s interesting to see all these ideas built around the idea that “more anonymity is better.”

I think the opposite is usually (not always) true, and that many of the issues we see in today’s internet stem from the fact that we have completely lost a human connection to the people on the other end of our interactions. (You can even go further and connect this to the larger loss-of-community trends across modern society.) Developing a real relationship with someone increases empathy and trust; it leads to healthier, clearer, and more productive communication; and it generally is good for everyone’s mental health and happiness.

Personally, I want a less anonymous and more communal internet (and society).
Yeah, I'd argue this is "practical" for state level surveillance. But they are GOING to get you if they want you, the various leaks over the years has shown that.

Heck, isn't spying on keyboards and display signals through a wall still "practical"?
Your concerns are valid. The IPCC reports were also heavily criticized for heavy biases in due to pressure from the US (particularly the US military). However, that doesn't mean that the IPCC reports weren't overall an incredibly useful scientific feat

Yes, like the IPCC, WHO is also susceptible to international political pressures, but I really think if you read through their plan you'd find that it's very well-cited and fairly argued.
There are many studies which showed how much overprovisioning you need to go to 100% renewable with different size grids. None of these are outrageous, but it's also nothing we currently need to think about. We can easily scale up renewable capacity to 70% without significant overprovisioning. So we really just need to build lots more renewables at the moment.
> these are exceptional cases

The question wasn't about whether they're exceptional or not. It was... do we anesthesize these exceptional fetuses before killing them?

My experience as a senior engineer at G was that most of my peers and I were working about 20-30 hours/week and collecting 300-500k TC. Some senior SWEs worked long hours, but they weren't rewarded for it, and many quickly adopt the ~30 hour/week lifestyle.

Having a solid emergency fund is actually pretty wise. Maybe split some of that into something low risk like I-bonds. My wife has similar anxiety, and it took years of financial education to get her comfortable with the idea that we only need a month of backup, and can float the rest on CC until we liquidate other assets.
Indeed. It's not cheap, but it's mostly a one-time cost* and the big binder we have that covers all sorts of scenarios and contingencies offers us considerable peace of mind. If you have enough assets that anyone would bother fighting over them**, it's worth doing.

* Not including divorces or if you change how you want to do things.

** If you haven't been involved in settling an estate, that bar is probably far lower than you'd expect.
I’m very excited about Neon, can’t wait to use it in production :)
He would be wrong with those claims, too. Even those """"overpaid"""" developers make only a small part of whatever the overall company makes. Perhaps this is counterintuitive but I would not be surprised at all if that percentage is smaller than with regular companies and lower paid workers.

It's simply that tech was and still is an exploding sector and a ton of resources are poured into it. People who are experienced programmers now are just lucky enough to ride the wave. It won't last forever. But it's certainly real for now.
I agree. I'm not condoning waterfall though. I only mean that planning has value.

I don't know what you should do, but just keep the following in mind:

- For high income America might be a better place. But it's also more expensive. So is money really what you want, or do you want a good happy life?

- Depending on your home country, immigration to the US can be hard. Getting a work visa can also be hard.

- University is expensive in the US, unless you find a way to get funded. But if you are US educated it becomes easier to get a job in US.

- I barely remember what I learnt at uni ;)

- Did you try getting into FAANG or similar? If I were in your situation, that's probably what I'd do.

- If it's wealth that you're after, then it's a totally different game. Understand how money works, and carefully play that game.
Now, suddenly, I remember! Also: pretty straightforward on device coding... Probably PocketC at least...

I think even many democrats know she is garbage. She regularly votes against the little guy and for the big business interest. She's a relic of the worst age of the democratic party, and her continued safe seat is basically one of the reasons America can't have nice things and has so many struggles.
There's no party that has anybody elected to Congress (or to a state Congress afaik either, though there I may be missing one or two persons) that wants to even reduce substantially, let alone destroy, government. TBH, let's not be cute and drop "substantially". No major party wants to reduce the government at all. Didn't for a long while. The only disagreement is about how fast the government will be growing and who gets the benefits of the wealth transfers that would follow from that and who gets to control these trillions and get the goodies that come from controlling trillions of other people's money. There are disagreements on other subjects, but on the subject of Big Government the consensus is clear and present. No agency ever gets reduced power (or, the horror, disbanded!) whatever party is in power, the worst could happen is that one party's functionary would temporarily disrupt the implementation of other party's schemes.
Gas prices have fluctuated wildly since 2020. This has had nothing to do with the number of people who own ICE vehicles.

Even if you assumed it was tightly correlated, then the second prices dropped you'd expect more people to buy. I'm also not sure what gas prices would be if suddenly everyone had an EV. Seems like they might be forced to charge more since the gas stations themselves would be making less on it?

In ten years I imagine a large majority of vehicles will still use gas. Last year EV sales were only about 7% of all cars. Cars have a relatively long shelf life and all projections I've seen (which admittedly are just speculations) have EV's passing ICE cars in about 15 years. But even then it's still half gas cars.

If I had to buy a new car today I'd still probably buy an ICE based on my needs/budget but I wouldn't do so because I think gas or car prices will crash or anything.
Thanks for sharing! I do think adoption could be driven by talent. I could imagine the best candidates preferring pseudonymous work, causing employers to accommodate in order to remain competitive.

I think your point about pseudonymous discourse being long established online is a good one! Most of us are already pseudonymous to some degree e.g. our usernames on Twitter, HN, Github, etc.
Even with that line of thinking, France was well past the point of using Nukes for base load power.

France had nuclear capacity factors around 70% when America and much of the worlds nuclear power plants where closer to 90%. It physically worked, but dramatically increased production cost per KWH.

Assuming they cut back to 30% or even 40% of all electricity being supplied by nuclear that’s still a significantly reduction.
So for life or death decisions, the ambulance driver would first go on some price comparison website or ask the insurance and see "ok, this person wants a doctor in the $10,000-15,000 range, the closest of which is 30m away. The hospital next door costs at least $50,000 minimum, so we will not send them there for life saving medical care." And what incentive would insurance have to send me to a reasonably priced doctor, when they can send me to one in their network which is more expensive but means they keep more money? Also, they could send me to an expensive hospital and then just not pay out. These are both things Obamacare tried to fix [0]. Insurances want to maximize profits, which means paying as little as possible themselves and extracting as much as possible from customers. Your system would only work if insurances had to always pay 100% of medical costs and could never deny care, which is similar to how it works in Germany (at least for some baseline level of care).

Again, what incentive would there be to lower prices? New doctors could just be bought out and the prices jacked up. There are a lot of industries where there is little barrier to entry (for example tech), where the big companies just buy anyone trying to "get in on their territory".

Also, why would the "unreasonable prices" (what would that even look like?) doctors go out of business? They could just provide some kind of "luxury deluxe" ("no poor people here") state of the art care for people who can afford it.

From the tweet:

> pronouns, whether someone can identify as a different race and be allowed to use the N-word

Perhaps his argument is that no one should be able to use it at work? I'm not convinced your take is the correct one.
Something about the way dating apps are set up lead to suboptimal outcomes, for both sexes.

As a point of evidence, I mostly used Tinder before meeting my current girlfriend on it, because Hinge and Bumble are unusable for me because they both require listing height, which results in me getting no matches from women on them. But, interestingly, my current girlfriend (and the girlfriend before her!) said that she wouldn't have matched with me if I had listed my height: in real life, however, it's not a concern, and she bemoans the fact that we spent so much time within a half mile of each other without meeting and she wasted so much time with people who weren't as compatible.

Women are inundated with options, so they have to filter them somehow: most women have similar preferences in men, and so once they filter their particular matches to those men who meet those easily filterable preferences, they end up with men that have already been heavily picked over and haven't left the market, either because they don't want a relationship or because they have other characteristics that result in them exiting relationships relatively soon after they start. So it ends up being a market for lemons (if a relationship is what the woman is looking for), leading to lots of mediocre or bad experiences.
Depends entirely on the specifics of the job and the location of dev. Salaries are often determined partially by the cost of living for the employee, which varies from one place to another. I know, for instance, that people on my team at work make more than me for the same job simply because they live in NYC, which has a higher cost of living than I do here in suburban south Florida.

My personal philosophy about money is often ridiculed, but the way I see it, if you have enough money to live happily and healthily (and support your family, if you have one), then you're being paid enough, and anything above that is just a bonus cherry on top. I know my salary is lower than some devs would ever accept, but I'm a single guy, so it's more than enough for me to pay my bills, have a house and food, and even some luxuries, and still save for emergencies and the future. Everything on top of that I donate to charity because others need that money far more than I do.

But as I said, it's a personal thing, and many people would call me crazy for it, so... it's up to you to decide what you think a fair payment is and then find an employer who's willing to negotiate a comparable salary with you.
The money comes from the same place they use to pay administrative folk who often earn more than post docs. It's an allocation issue

> she pretty much lives the way she learned

This is for me one key to understand this effect. I was a small kid in the 70ies, I didn't have any idea about gas prices and how much a driving license costs - I didn't even know that my toys did cost something - but I grew with parents who would scold me whenever we left some light on for no reason, or a door open for too long when it was cold outside, or opening the fridge for too long.

I remember I was witnessing the exact opposite behavior in the American TV shows of that time. The "traditional" food battles were in particular not entertaining at all, but rather we were disgusted by the huge waste of food - this, although we were a middle class family that certainly had less money problems than your friend.

To this day I still turn off unused stuff and close doors as soon as possible. And I try not to waste water too. And I check the price-per-weight rather than the unit price. Despite the fact I could afford to not give a huck to all this.
Good question! I'd love to know the answer to this, too.
