Doing it solo is significantly harder than with a cofounder.

More than half of my startup founder journey was about having to deal with this type of feelings and without my cofounder it would have been way harder. Our secret was to never be in the same bad mental place at the same time. That way we could help each other get out of it more effectively.

Do you have a support group you can talk to? Fellow founders? I'm sure seeing a therapist can help too, or talking to a friend, but I noticed it doesn't have the same effect as talking to a founder who was in your shoes before can have.
>Due diligence is expected among a mature population.

I wholly agree.

But we're quickly approaching (and in some cases, past) the point where proper due diligence requires a 4-year post-secondary education in a related CS field, if not more.

We're talking about products that take multiple domain experts several years of collaboration to create. How is it reasonable to expect my mechanic, accountant, etc. to do their due diligence on how that product processes their data, especially when it's processed in a black-box created by several other domain experts, and their only source of information is purposefully opaque terms written by lawyers?

There's a LOT of infrastructure that already exists in the Hack ecosystem at Meta. Especially around things like data access control, privacy, auditing, data deletion, etc.

When I left earlier this year, pretty much all of the internal storage systems (from MySQL to blob storage) were moving to requiring all access to be via a common Entity framework that encoded the above-mentioned things in a common way. That framework exists on the non-Hack side of the house, but it's much, much easier and in some ways more robust on the Hack side.
That's what crossed my mind too.

C++ and Rust are heavyweight and verbose, for ultimate control over execution. I have no Go experience but it seems to prefer simple over expressive.

I see that niche for Nim here: fast-ish, compiled, simple to use but also expressive.
And then, progressing upstream, the next version will spring into a Lego store, grab the required box(es), and sprint back out again.

And how does life being infinite suddenly make it meaningful for you?

Life means nothing in the "grand scheme of things". It just is. You exist because of a long sequence of random events and then it just sort of ends. There's no deeper meaning, it's just how our universe works. In this brief moment when you get to exist, you can choose to do things which make you feel good.
The problem with the dollar in Argentina is not just about corruption, though it does have some of its roots in our dictatorship from the 70s. Later governments and businessmen did their part, of course.
We're losing people who have no true replacement and James Lovelock is one of those people. According to the wikipedia article he was pro nuclear and fracking as an environmentalist. I think largely natural gas and fracking is a relative success where regulation are followed and cost cutting does not occur. Some of the capability learned and gained in that area can be applied for a lot of useful things in the future.

>Retreat, in his view, means it's time to start talking about changing where we live and how we get our food; about making plans for the migration of millions of people from low-lying regions like Bangladesh into Europe; about admitting that New Orleans is a goner and moving the people to cities better positioned for the future.

We definitely need to consider moving towards sustainability much more quickly. CO2 burden related to climate and daily life should be looked at. Something needs to happen to save the bayou around New Orleans.

Currently working on hiring for a frontend position (literally just produce well structured html and CSS that matches design, not even getting into frontend frameworks or JS) and in the first 3 days I received over 400 applicants - most of which clearly didn't read the JD. More than half of which couldn't manage to string together a sentence without major spelling / grammar / spacing / punctuation errors. All but 3 of which, on inspection of GitHub profile or frontend mentor profile (one of the places we put out the job) clearly could barely write CSS at a basic level and/or had basically zero attention to detail.

Why in the heck would I bother to write 400 customized rejection letters when most applicants can't even be bothered to spend 2 minutes reading the JD fully, and avoiding applying unless they: Are actually qualified, and are willing to put at least a modicum of effort into a good first impression?

I feel like people on the application side have no idea about the sheer volume of people who apply to each role. In "Smart and Gets Things Done" Joel might of hit the nail on the head with his speculation that we are all receiving the same mountain junk application from the same junk "developers" and it just drowns out everything else.
You don't need adoption to get inheritance or personal services. Nor it is a solution to a risky transaction.

Work contracts are always at-will, to avoid slavery. You don't ever want people to be forced to work.

Children don't get inheritance by right. They only get it by default, if the deceased failed to specify a will -- which they can change any time, so long as they are competent.

Agreements of whatever sort to take care of someone for x years in exchange at the end for Y compensation have huge risk that Y will not be there, for whatever reason.

More generally, the main driver for adult adoption is to game the system that privileges in-family transfers of wealth.

The just thing to do would be to remove all benefits associated with family transfers. There's no social benefit to them, and they likely cause intra-familial coercion.

> The original commentator's is claiming that the experience of death is similar to the experience of going into blackout with anesthesia

I'm not getting your point. I am going to assume that like a lot of people you have a fixed conception of being dead and that is you cease to exist. If you believe that, then I can see how you can compare being dead to being anesthetized.

I'm saying being dead may be far different than being anesthetized:

- You die and cease to exist

- You die and wake up from this computer simulation into an alien world

- You die and wake up in Heaven with the God that you've believed in all your life

- You die and are one with the universal consciousness. You return to the ocean of consciousness like a wave crashing on the shore returns to the sea

- You die and wake up in Nirvana or the body of a pig depending on your Karma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana)

And so on. No one can say being anesthetized is like being dead
You're right! That hypothetical and highly unlikely scenario is completely worth all of the ways in which the tech could be and is being abused.

How exactly can a company price-gouge in a free market? First, nobody is compelled to buy anything from them. Second, anyone else is allowed to become a supplier, and easily make a fortune by offering a cheaper price.

And the only thing that prevents the above from being true, is oppressive government policies that undermine the freemarket, which are sold to the people as "for their protection".
First, the question is about labor supply.

Second, people crossing the southern border will never be large enough to affect the US labor market. Only increasing legal immigration can have meaningful effect on the labor supply.

Three.
First was when i was 19, I took a year off after highschool and went to a new town to study and accumule as much knowledge on physics, until one day when my roommate brought some hump, i took some of it as I was about to watch "the social network" and made me switch from physics to spending the rest of the year learning c++, and eventually getting an engineering degree on systems informations.
Second and third was when I came to the realisation that i had to temporarily stop my studies and go back home, because my mental health and psyche was deteriorating, which in turn was affecting my whole life and grades. After a few months I realised that my religion was the source of my misery because i was following it as it was meant to be followed, but the environment(which is "99% religious") wasn't comforming to its values. And the fact that my religion defined my identity, I found myself in an "interesting" position where I had to reshape my identity from scratch.

It's more like, why would I want to use Linux? There's no reason for me to be interested in the first place. I get that other people want to, but this desire does not exist within me. I thought it was sort of bizarre that the question was framed like everyone wants to use Linux, which isn't true. I don't want to fuck around with a FOSS operating system, basically. I respect Linux, but it's not for me.
Nick Pelling's initial thoughts on this (from yesterday): https://ciphermysteries.com/2022/07/26/somerton-man-identifi...
My understanding is that it shakes out to a couple of things:

1) while not beating the S&P, historical returns on real estate are pretty good and less volatile

2) There are a number of significant tax advantages to home ownership

3) you can't live inside a stock. Building equity instead of paying rent is a good thing

4) you can rent it out, making it pay for itself while accruing value as long as you are willing to add your own labor

It's hard to put that all into a chart since (2) and (3), and (4) are personalized and partially mutually exclusive and the tax landscape is always changing.
That's an interesting app :) What motivated you to build peerdiem?
GC gives you a nice cushion, because it makes allocations fast. However, with a little bit of thought put into memory allocation (such as using arenas with bump allocation), you'd easily beat Go with Rust. The author of SWC did exactly that https://swc.rs/docs/benchmarks

Housing is a good investment as long as people can afford the rent, and want to live there. If people could not, or do not want to live there, the house stays vacant and it becomes a poor investment.

When housing becomes a bad investment, very few people will spend their money and time building new ones.

The demand for housing depends on demographics, it has nothing to do with it being a good or bad investment. But whether it is a good or bad investment has a lot to do with demand for housing.

The headline is wrong and deceiving. The semiconductor part is 52 billion. Still a lot of graft and corruption for negligent management. They could have given them tax subsidies for capex investment for example instead of corporate handouts and payoffs to the Pelosi stock positions.
The US did provide military assistance to the UK and none to us, so I'd say they definitely took the UK's side [1].

Complicating things, of course, is the fact the US saw our military junta as a bulwark against communism, and so provided some support to them [2] (and, it is argued, our military dictators thought they saw indications the US would support us in our war against the UK, which is just as deranged as it sounds. Then again, our dictatorship was as incompetent as it was bloodthirsty).

I've been a dreamhost email and hosting customer for 18 years. My only downtime from them was a 3-day outtage after an earthquake disrupted power to their datacenter near LAX. No downtime since.

If I look at the age pyramid of my country, Germany, I have absolutely no idea how this system is supposed to be maintained over the next 10-20 years:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Alterspy...

The bulk of people are at an age now, that they'll retire soon or are retiring. Even though we already import tons of young people (look at the amount of young males vs females - 50% of young people here have a migration background), I can't imagine we can import enough young laborers from other countries, and Germans don't reproduce nearly enough - which is understandable considering how things are going.

I really doubt that. My mom has quite a few friends that are retired (she's in quite a few hiking and cycling groups) and all of them are doing at least some part-time work.

I think it's incredibly cruel that they have to work at all at their age. If my mom hadn't planned her retirement well and people tried to put her back to full-time work, I would eat the cost of taking care of her needs if the state didn't. I mean she was really struggling to do her job at the end.

That's more a people problem than a technology problem. Many user interface paradigms have been tried over the decades. We've largely settled on what we have because it is what people were able to adapt to. Similar to how driving a car isn't that different from 40 years ago, or even 80 years ago. There's minor iterative changes with improved reliability and accessibility, but not fundamental changes.

Yeah death sucks and most people aren't ready for it. We can't really know if "afterlife" exists but imo, it's not wise to live life assuming that that is the case. It might be better to do your best assuming you can't tell if there is an afterlife. If there's no afterlife, you did your best and if there is one then it's a bonus.
Why make the transition so dramatic? Write one project in Rust, see how it feels. How much did you learn, from which challenges? Complete a competition with your solution in Rust. How was your performance, what benefits did the language offer in your solution? I think if you tackle those two things you can answer your question about the rest of your work better than any HN comment.

> There's a difference between correcting factual errors (or typos) and changing the story to better fit current political climate.

Well, no, there isn't. What's important depends on what you're trying to learn. If what you're interested in is where the incorrect claim came from, then silently editing the GQ article would be exactly the same kind of revisionism as silently changing an episode of Stranger Things.

But of course, that's not the difference here. GQ made their correction correctly: with a notice attached to the new content describing what the old content said and what changes were made. That is very different from silently editing history; that is why GQ's correction is much less problematic than the hypothetical editing of Stranger Things. (It would be better to present the old content itself, rather than a description of it, but the notice is still hugely less problematic than a silent retroactive change.)
Rising housing prices are caused by the post 08 slowdown in building. The Bay Area alone is 1 million units short . We need to deregulate the housing market. Only 2% of units nationwide are owned by large scale investors. That number is going up, but for now it’s not a real problem.
