The IRR is equivalent. You can't eat(spend) IRR.

The NPV is not equivalent (unless you happen to have a cost of capital = 25%... like about 10 people). The cash on cash is not equivalent. Every person on planet earth will take the 15 year compounding (again except the 10 or so..).... hence they are not equivalent. When returns are high, investors are not indifferent to time horizon. Longer is better. To make it extremely clear - would you prefer IRR of 50% for 1 minute or 10 years?

The only statement which is precise enough is "the IRR is equivalent". Anyone can be pedantic, it rarely helps.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. I share your concern. I'm a minority and moved to the US some years ago. I don't think I share the same college connect or social connect that people have. This puts me at a disadvantage for these referral only hires.

Referrals are good source of attracting people, they can be used for additional data points.

I'd love to see what the break down of demographics of people hired using this practice.
I think it's a silent market at this point. The company I'm at is using it, and anecdotally, many other companies are as well in small greenfield projects, so I anticipate there will be growing demand for developers that know rust in coming years. The downside of this is that there will be a massive influx of people learning rust, similar to "the python problem". At the moment, most people that know rust are for the most part competent with it, but I fear that may change as the supply side increases.
A: "The USA's banking infrastructure lags global best practices, and many commenters here do not realise that, assuming that it must be the same or worse elsewhere, and that their proposed solutions or upgrades are relevant, when they are in fact often not. Proof by example of a better way forward exists."

B: "Why do you hate America!!"

This is of course, the kind of reasoned response that you typically get from someone with a strong logical argument.
hmm, no government in the world supports his thesis I guess. From what I understand of his position: deflational currency is the best type of currency. Any inflation is bad etc. The reason governments create inflation is to keep population poor and control them I guess?

Putting aside the weird trash-talking of status quo economists, in order to evaluate the correctness of his position, I would have to do way too much homework.

His prediction of human behavior under a deflational currency though does raise some flags. He says people will buy stuff regardless. If know I can use the same money to buy two cars next year instead of buying a car this year, I will not buy a car this year. He seems to say I will.
You said explicitly "it's because it's not doing these terrible things", but it is doing terrible things (like practicing slavery). Clearly those are not the reason.
It also reminds me of a trick used for a subway car in Fallout 3. Instead of actually implementing vehicles, there's an NPC running under the level whose head has been replaced with a train.
> The debt driven economy is by design.

People should ask "whose design?" then. Who's the beneficiary of this design?

What do you think is more likely to be true?

A. The wealthy/influencial/powerful/elites use their (disproportionate) power to influence the design of fundamentals of society - such as the monetary system - in a way that benefits/stabilizes their position at the top.

B. The wealthy/influencial/powerful/elites just let the design of fundamentals of society - such as the monetary system - be in whatever way it's shaped by society or political processes.
I'm a paying Kagi user because doublequotes works, i.e. if I search for something using doublequotes around it, Kagi actually makes sure those words are in the page, and if it fails they create a bug report and fix it.

It seems to be better in every other way too, but that is actually the single reason why I pay for it.

That would make sense if the claim was that epidemic cause civil wars, but it doesn't quite explain, say, the Russian invasion of Ukraine -- which is also the only currently ongoing 'hot' war directly between two nation-states.
Happy for you, but this is an oddly cynical take. Just because you are 55, you don't get special treatment. If you're interviewing for Staff or Senior Staff positions (assuming that's the role, with your years of experience), it would be discrimination if someone else was subjected to a different interview process than yours.
As someone who quit smoking using ecigs this saddens me. Yes Juul was one of the worst options out there, but it was the flavored tasty ejuices that got me off cigs.

I did a pack or two for 10-15 years. Could not stop cold turkey, hands used to shake so bad I could not even hold a full cup, plus a whole host of other issues. Tried 3 times.

Started with nicotine and then gradually reduced with ecigs at the peak of covid. Covid also helped in that I was stuck at home.

Took me 3 months but I stopped.

Now I just tell people I am not a smoker. That mindset shift also helped keep me off cigs.

But ecigs can be equally/more addictive. On rare occasions, I want a nicotine hit, I do not think of smoking cigs, I want to vape.

It is sad to see others will not have the option with ecigs being banned across countries.

While good advice, in general, in the US, liability pushes doctors to act when they have any signal.
I agree with you, nobody should. But what took me by surprise was that they get angry even about their headspaces. For instance, sending someone a text and saying "don't worry about this until you're back from your break" will yield little to no effect, as they value being completely disconnected from work during any hours they're not being paid for.

Which I think is perfectly reasonable.
Looks neat! Is it open sourced btw?

I don't understand Tailscale's pricing structure: On one end, the features they are adding make the most sense if every machine that should be accessible is running tailscale.

Both the fine-grained ACL support and now this SSH thing don't make sense with shared subnets.

However, their pricing ties number of servers to number of users. In our case, we have potentially 3 admins who would administer about 50 machines, plus some ephemeral ones.

Assuming that each admin has two Macs and an iPhone just on their client side, I don't see how this can ever work within the limits in their pricing plans (except if I'd use subnet sharing, but that would cause me to miss out on many additional features that only make sense if Tailscale is running on each machine).

Is there no way to buy additional devices?

And my other gripe is with their API: The fine grained ACL support is perfect to, say, issue temporary access to some machines for some users and the API does allow that.

But why the hell are API keys only valid for 60 days? I don't want to build a solution on top of a piece of infrastructure that requires me to manually log into a site every 60 days.
I'll assume that like me, you googled that. So, this is technically correct, but:

That's great to hear, thanks for the response! That sounds about as far as I got, so I think probably I was closer to 200 pages, not 300. It was just so incredibly boring. I was making it through maybe 4 pages a day if I was lucky. And all the material was so similar, it wasn't like you got through one part and then built upon it to something very different; it was more of the same with only a small difference. So no new-topic-energy-burst at the start of a new section.
Ya know, it’s funny. I like Python. We like it enough to actually use it in embedded products. It has its limits, and we use other tools where it doesn’t fit. Python in a browser seems like a keen idea.

But JavaScript vs Python isn’t really the key thing for me on the web. It’s the uncanny pile of other software one uses to build a man-machine connection that flummoxes me. It’s the CSS, the DOM, the events, the browser API, the ever churning massive pile of complexity that interactive software has become with the voluminous W3C specs, expressed in near BNF form and full of edge cases and backwards compatibility, all so every thing my user does can be observed by myself a few megacorps. I honestly wouldn’t care if I could write it in Fortran. It’s such a minor wart of the whole mess.

Caring about which actual language you can use in all the script tags of a jacked up text format feels like caring which font is being used in your favorite hot piece of government legislation.
Pandemic causes also isolation between nations. And they say Putin has been isolated for a long time. When you are isolated you started distrusting other people, including those of other nations.

I have no data on this just saying it makes intuitive sense to me. When people interact they realize it is good to interact. When they don't it is easy to be afraid.

That is so far from my experience that I’m not sure we’re talking about the same software.

I’ve been using Pages for years, and Word for longer, and there is almost nothing I can do in Word that I can’t do in Pages.

And I just spent all day today doing things in Keynote (animations) that might be technically possible in PP but are so tedious that it’s not worth doing.

Pages and Keynote are great apps but their UIs are a lot cleaner than their MS equivalents, and many capabilities are subtlety implemented and occasionally context dependent. If you like the MS UI then you’ll need to adjust to Apple’s, but I’ll take Pages and Keynote over the MS equivalents any day of the year.
How does that not just store forever? I thought that was the point of pickling.
What kind of editor do you use for writing code? If you need to "care" about significant white space, it might be that you're simply using the wrong tool for the job. Working with Python since 2.4 (among tens of other languages) I honestly don't remember a single situation where I had to care...

Flutter/Dart is amazing and it's OK to have fewer libraries. The JS ecosystem is varying in quality (much more so than the Dart ecosystem, in my experience).

What I would not use Flutter for yet is Flutter Web. I've made that mistake, and although it was a big success in the end, we had many many hurdles, some of which are serious bugs that remain to this day (like you can't autofocus a field, flickering, extremely slow scrolling, etc).
Thank you for this observation. Low-growth or no-growth societies have long been fodder for my what-iffing daydreaming.

> 3) The solution for Google is really easy though: charge some fee for human support that keeps customer service requests to a manageable level. When it's a genuine issue, people will pay some fee to get an actual trained person to pay attention to and hopefully resolve.

Warning: totally hypothetical controversial opinion follows (I'm playing the devil here):

From a game theoretical perspective, if you had to pay for support what prevents Google from intentionally blocking the accounts of random people so that they'll have to pay to contact support, who will then unblock the user?

It is dangerous to rely on accounts from big tech companies. My Microsoft account was banned 20 Minutes after I created it. I posted a technical question in their forums and no, I was not an enraged cookie with foul language complaining about computers and the world. Don't remember the topic, but it was a niche problem. Something about user configured IP blocks to their cloud infrastructure.

I suspect it was because I refused to give out my phone number. For a account reactivation I would have needed to give them my number too although I don't understand how that would help. Then I wanted to delete my account but that wasn't possible without loggin in as was contacting support.

I hate that my corporate account leaks information too for that matter but I don't want to share data on principle. They just don't need it.

Never rely on large corps for work or professional communication infrastructure.
Personally, what bugged me about Mozilla was to see them closing down certain projects and teams (Persona and Rust come to mind) on the grounds of "needs to focus on what can bring revenue", yet the CEO was getting substantial pay raises.

The iPhone has a high-res display, hi-capacity battery, associated regulator hardware, multiple SoCs, cost of supporting a software/firmware engineering team for the OS/drivers, app developers, UX/Design experts, company markup....

Not cheap. I don't buy this argument - they have a nice image processor, sure, there's nothing special about their image processing. Sure, its not going to be cheap, I think you are vastly overestimating the quality... for a price point of 1K per phone, even at scale, you are talking maybe a 5th operating costs (200$) going towards supporting that.

Remember Apple makes its money from app commissions, more than the hardware, and AFAIK they don't operate selling hardware at a loss.

You will need a SoC team, yes, you are looking at a multimillion dollar company, doable with VC I'd imagine. Or a team of brilliant-yet-bootstrapping individuals, willing to work for less.

It is self-organizing, for humans ideally by debate, since they can. Since you mention animals above: they are much more straight-forward about their laws than humans. We overcomplicate things, but if I can make a call, it would be to simplify laws to the most basic level and try to keep them clear of religion and cultural norms.

> Now If a drug dealer says his actions do affect him far more than his buyers, it should make sense for his opinion to outweigh the court's opinion because he's getting much more money hence his trade is affecting him much more than the little amounts he sells individually to people.

I think a better example would be a corporation that gives people cancer for profit, because in the case of the drug dealer it is not always clear if any harm was actually caused.
Just judging it by CancerCorp's profit would be obviously ignorant and binary, because it would not take the harm that was directly caused into consideration.
At the end, some kind of balance needs to be established.

How long have there been any serious official investments to make Python faster though?
