It's not so much money nowadays. The value of money went way down past 5-10 years.

It's just 10 people after a $1B exit allocating 10% of their assets. Sounds crazy, but that's this guy's social circle. Really underlines how important is networking in business.

Funny to see the ad hominem attacks coming out with little to no information about the actual company or deal. The well-oiled news outrage machine chugs along, baiting people into emotional reactions about things that don't affect them. Nice.

According to Louie Simmons, strength athlete at top shape can lose about 20% of 1RM weight in two weeks of inactivity.

Regular people also lose their shape, at slower, but increasiingle faster rate, as they gain shape. It is enough to lose 2%-4% (usually around 2.5%) of progress per week to hit a plateau in typical chest-back-legs split.

But, the fact that body can lose some shape can be beneficial. For example, hypertrophy-specific training [1] recommends 7-9 days rest period between end of one training period and start of next one. During this time body loses resistance to growth stimulus but does not detrain too much.

[1] https://web.archive.org/web/20201111175258/http://hypertroph...

Also note here that HST recommends to abandon the typical split and perform all body training each training session, but with smaller number of sets, two sets maximum. More or less in line with what article talks about.

And, having mentioned Louie Simmons, I should mention Bulgarian Method: just train every day, using your max for a day, rest one day a week, make a world record. ;)
I started to use Postgres on AWS for a personal project, after fighting with several non-docker VM's - I don't want to use docker. But I decided on SQLite + Litestream, hopefully for free on AWS. The simplicity of deployment is great.

SQLite to my surprise has much of the same SQL functions as Oracle and Postgres. I wanted to use window functions, which are supported.

Sqlite came to my attention when I read a Tailscale blog article stating they will be using it.
Every elite athlete trains several times a day, most days of the week.

GTG maintains volume via high frequency and intensity via very low intensiveness (eg. any one set is never difficult).

This is great for people who have access to equipment yet don't have the time for one longer session. Otherwise there's nothing special with it.

The presence of water makes an otherwise inhospitable place attractive. The same is likely to be true on Mars - colonies will be sited near ice for the same reason.

> if you go for the salary angle, you'll most likely come across weird and probably won't get the job at all.

You're right, that's why I've never voiced the idea in practice but I wish I could somehow. Even if companies couldn't adjust expectations than at least the hiring process would be easier, given a pool of the same quality of applicants, you'd pick the cheapest one. And during downsizing, in another pool of same quality applicants, you let go the pricer ones go first.

Thanks for the comment, I gotta try and brainstorm ways to better pitch this feeling without people immediately think it's a scam.

> Look for companies/teams that are super chilled out in general (they exist like you said);

that's the plan but I feeling like tech is going to take a big hit in the coming economic downturn and just wish I could turn my willingness to work for lower pay into a competitive advantage

I've rented apartments across Australia, UK, Europe, South Korea etc.

At almost all of them there has been some form of social group formed to foster this sense of community. And at every single one the attendance rate was in the low single digits. Most people treat their home as a sanctuary and want a place to relax and unwind. Not necessarily to socialise.

And these aren't exactly soulless people who need to be rescued.
>> by bringing community and brand to an industry in which neither existed before

Lol what? Brand had no content and community didn't exist or was mostly remote companies needing meeting rooms. WeWork spaces were a bad value because I could get a desk at a real startup space, often sponsored by the host city and be surrounded by interesting people.
I really hope this somehow combines crypto and timeshares. Two of the most famous scams of all time ... brought together under Adam Neumann. It will make for a truly hilarious postmortem.

FWIW, everybody has different results on Google. They vary between mobile and desktop, regionally, and can even be personalized.
I mostly agree with you, in that I usually find working on only a laptop screen frustrating and love having a dedicated work area.

But it depends on the task I do. For example, I quite enjoy working from my parents' garden when it's nice outside and if I do some focused work. Like reading some "long-form documentation" (where I don't need to follow it along as I apply it) or when I do some routine sysadmin work.

I have a big monitor (don't like having multiple monitors) at my parents' house, with a dedicated desk in a "work area". I also have this at home. And I also have this at the office. It's much more comfortable to move around these locations with a laptop than it would be to haul around a desktop, or have multiple desktops and having to keep them in sync. When I need actual horsepower, I have a Xeon workstation at my house, and my work allows me to leverage it remotely if needed. Guess what? I basically only turn it on for games.
Thank you!

You're right. I am aware of this, and we're planning to get one more goat and also a dog. Right now, the goat seems to be pretty happy roaming around the backyard with all the chickens. It even waits with them while they lay eggs, etc. Pretty cool. But sure, you're right :)
It's understandable that managers are worried if they're not fit for the new realities of their jobs.

But I have to wonder what the hell they were doing. What is coordination other than talking to each other and showing each other things? In my opinion this is much easier via calls.
You mean the guy that let go of 1/3 of his staff after gross mismanagement? I'm not sure I'd put much weight behind his allegations.
>They can though. I guarantee you that in most large cities, almost everywhere within them, you're closer to an open and available charge point than you are to a public gas station.

Just saying "they can" doesn't make it so. I've relied on on-street parking before, as have most of the people I know. None of them would consider running a cable from their apartment to the curb to charge their car to be a practical solution, which is why the solution is for cities to make public chargers ubiquitous (see the previous comment).

Because they can't do everything that a standard car can do.

>Putting fewer car-miles in a city is a very good thing. Especially when your car spews exhaust everywhere it goes.

I don't believe anyone is arguing otherwise. But if you're arguing that having a less capable vehicle that encourages less driving is a good thing, I'd point out that a) the market is unlikely to accept that, and b) this is mostly a city design problem that is orthogonal to the type of car you drive.

I agree with you, that's why I didn't want to try and go for actual current min wage jobs. They always feel hectic and lack the structure that the higher paid jobs have that I love. I know min wage isn't ideal for many, if any but for my personal lifestyle, it would be more enough right now.
Does anyone have any idea how to retain muscle mass for longer? I was previously strength training daily, but took a week off (a dangerous combination of a tooth extraction and internet fearmongering) and my arms are already looking noticably slimmer. As soon as I can I'll get back to my daily routine, but I can't imagine this will be the last week I have to avoid it, these things happen, so I'd like to keep more of what I've got if/when that happens again.

Depending on the type of work we do —and on our own personalities— it can be difficult for us to socialize outside of work.

It’s a real issue, and becomes more acute, as we get older.

For myself, I participate in an organization that affords me the opportunity for a high degree of socialization, but, without it, I’d likely be a bit of a recluse.
You can't get commute nicer. It can only get worse and worse, with the growth of population and acceleration of wealth transfer from majority to minority (this is important because it either fixates or denies people ability to move to a new place to live). Even force banning cars from cities (a fantasy) won't help, because cities themselves are becoming bigger and affordable living is pushed to the outside gradually.
In fact no actual money vaporized. Every actual dollar exchanged for these turkeys went into a ready, yawning pocket.

A very great deal of imaginary money, that had never been exchanged for more dollars than were spent mining it, evaporated.

So, the winners were those who got actual dollars while the con ran. The losers were whoever handed over dollars.

Of course this phenomenon is not limited to crypto. Who here remembers Global Crossing? In the future, it will be Tesla.
Sure, because it's fast and easy. But I bet you any pilot can work it out with pen and paper if they have to. They get tested on that stuff, at least where I live.

Same with a boat. All you have is what you bring. Will the Ipad survive weeks of salty spray? Maybe, but a backup (pen and paper) is recommended
I hate the fact I need to research 'vintages' for every product nowadays. Almost every product has a good production year followed by several worse ones. Like wine.
This isn't true. The peak demand that remains after solar has lowered the actual peak, is in the evening.

And that's when you use hydro and batteries.

Here's the historical yearly peaks: https://www.caiso.com/documents/californiaisopeakloadhistory...

Note, in recent years this ignores home based solar, which also reduce the grid seen demand during the day, but the new peak is still before sunset.

The local grid refers to this post solar/wind demand as 'net demand peak':

> Net demand is the total electricity demand minus utility-scale solar and wind generation at a given time, and the net demand peak (the “net peak” for short) typically occurs later in the evening than the total demand peak.

https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-insights/peek-...

> Initially, net demand peaked around the same time as total demand. Wind, which tends to pick up in the evenings, was responsible for most of the renewable generation. In 2013, solar began to eclipse wind. By 2016, the average timing of the net demand peak shifted from before 5:00 p.m. to around 7:30 p.m., where it has remained. (The total demand peak has also moved later in the evening to a lesser extent, driven by customer-owned solar.) Grid operators can’t turn to solar after the sun sets to meet the resulting net peak.

Luckily California has big plans for offshore wind, but that'll take about a decade. In the meantime solar and demand management is probably still the low hanging fruit.
Calling those groups "corporations" just masks that complexity, and not in a useful way.

This is the thing about Access. For simple to moderate stuff you can't really bear it for easy of building and deployment due to the forms and reports being integrated with the tables and queries. I'm always surprised by how powerful it is and what you can accomplish with it. Nothing beats it for local, department type I formation management, libre/open office don't come close.

With that easy of use comes its reputation of being a nightmare to manage, mostly because it's easy enough for people with no knowledge of the relational model to use.

If there was a similar solution utilising sqlite as the backend I'd definitely be using it.

Krunvm is extremely easy to use and is packed with some interesting ideas.

One of the biggest advantages of this VMM is that programs have access to the network inside the VMM without the admin having to setup complex virtual bridges and so forth in the host in advance or use something like slirp. This is accomplished via TSI (Transparent Socket Impersonation).

Basically sockets in the guest are bridged to AF_VSOCK via the use of a patched linux kernel (when you build libkrunfw.so) when communicating outside the VM. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGV03THGrrw for more info on TSI.

My only concern is that TSI is currently not a feature available in Linux. When do the authors plan to upstream this into Linux proper? My understanding is that this was planned in 2021 but it is now 2022...
What about changing jobs? Let's say you had a job that was 10 minutes by car from you home. You change jobs 2 years later and, while the new job is in the same metro area, now the commute is 90 minutes. Lack of remote discourages job hopping, which is bad for employees and good for employers.
Absolutely, and those norms are best enforced by that community.

On the other hand, how many do you think would reach out when they get blocked? Most actual fraudsters wouldn't. Of those that do, you can take a look at what they are sending and quickly see if they are actually doing fraud or not.

I could say the same thing to you, you're making it sound harder than what it is. But if you're set to the mindset of saving money, I understand minimising work makes sense.

One thing I learned is japanese cars function very well if you change their oil very frequently. It's usually 10k miles by the book, but also the book says if you sit in traffic a lot or go short trips this should be more frequent, even as often as 3-5k miles. Most people don't read this fine print and get surprised their car burns 2 quarts of oil per thousand miles by 40k miles.

Never saw an ad for WeWork. Did see them with $3 sq/ft office space in Oakland renting for $12. Softbank gave him an incentive to blow it up, thus he did. Cleared a few billion in cash and will probably be back to buy the remnants of WeWork and rights to Jared Leto's sequel. A real meanie though.

The vast majority of deaths here in Australia, since the end of lockdowns and closed borders, have been amongst the unvaccinated, the elderly, and the immunocompromised (particularly the first of those three). We're not seeing young, normally healthy people dying in their thousands, as happened in much of the world at the height of the pandemic. Our response worked, and we've avoided widespread suffering, and many Australians apparently don't appreciate that, I guess due to the preparedness paradox!

>I've been to places in the Philippines where all available water is either on private property or being sold by private vendors. The price of water did not go to infinity, in fact you could buy a 1L bottle for something like 10 pesos, which is like $0.20.

The "basically" there was meant to show that I was being somewhat facetious. There are of course other factors at play. First the supplier wants to maximize profit and not price. The highest price doesn't necessarily yield the highest profit if it prices some people out of the market. Also a small group can't maintain a monopoly over a necessity required by a large group without facing a literal revolt. However when the group being taken advantage of is small, resistance becomes much more difficult to achieve. It is a lot easier to oppress the 0.5% of the population that is a type 1 diabetic than the 100% of the population that needs water.

>If the price were truly near-infinite the entire economy of workers and capital would flock to it in seek of infinite profits and competition would become fierce.

This would depend on some basic Economics 101 assumptions being true such as a commodity product in an industry with low barrier to entry and no economies of scale. Those assumptions rarely hold in the real world, especially in healthcare.
Norway has what you might call a graduated policy towards that. There are places in the country where you're on your own. Go there and take what risks you like. (I've met people in such areas who were there without a map and with risky ideas about wildlife.) But the beaches near the big cities aren't. City parks aren't either.

Norway also places rather low value on the life of an animal. A species or habitat is important, a herd may be depending on species and location, a single animal not so much.
