This is what I call the graduate job paradox.

What you do as your first job massively influences you career. I did .NET for years by the fluke that is what my first job did. If they did Java, I would be an expert in Java. If I worked somewhere they needed a compiler written in C++ I would have done it and may have a compiler career.

The paradox is as a graduate you generally, unless very exceptional or well connected, or live in the (not "a") tech city, just need to get that first job.

It is hard to get that breaking opportunity, and so that thing that will have echoes throughout your career, you don't have much control over! The reason it is hard to get the first job is because it needs interview experience, and you have very little proof yet. You are asking a company to take that leap of faith.

Later side stepping is possible but very hard as you are competing with people who can be paid the same as a web dev with deep experience.

Also as a young person back then, I had approximately zero confidence, both in myself and even that programming is a good thing to do. Getting into it was very weird, I was probably the only person at my high school of hundreds who geeked out on electronics and programming, for example.

Nowadays with HN and other sites, there is an online community such that even in a country town you can get a sense of community and what is possible. With that any graduate now could hatch a decent plan for their career. They might take any job to pay the bills, but aim to get into a FAANG for example, knowing what it pays and how to go about it. 2020's are amazing.

I think you're missing a big reason which is support cost. one major advantage of cloud is that users can't screw up deployment.
I see no one mentioned real estate. While i do think there will be a crash it will be temporary. Real estate always goes up. Broken pipes dont keep me up at night. Stock market fluctuations do. Likely not a means to get rich. But the property value gain coupled with rent income add up and can help weather the storm. This is my personal experience. Had decent >30% returns on a couple of 3 year long investments, sold out, waiting for a crash. My tenant who said he doesnt want to buy a property because its too much hassle is now down 1 mil $. I spent 200£ fixing a failed bathtub and oiling a window handle. Such is life.
I was going to blame the French-language requirement, but this makes more sense (from the legal perspective; not from the residents' perspective who are screwed by local politics).
Never heard of this movie but it says clearly on the German Wikipedia page:

> In Deutschland wurde der Film zunächst in einer stark gekürzten Fassung gezeigt, in der sämtliche Bezüge auf den Nationalsozialismus fehlten und der Film mit der Hochzeit Marias endet und nicht – wie in der Originalfassung – mit der Flucht der Trapp-Familie aus Österreich.

[eng]:

> In Germany, the film was initially shown in a heavily edited version, in which all references to National Socialism were removed and the film ends with Maria's wedding, and not—as in the original version—with the Trapp family's escape from Austria.

LOL, sounds even more scary than the Chinese version of Fight Club!
There is some great content on substack, but it is invariably too verbose. As much as I’m glad anyone can now indulge themselves in unrestrained quill scratching, 95% of substack content needs to be edited for length. Surely there is an NLP solution for this.
You'll hear it when it comes. I suspect there will be complaints about the noise if rolled out in a significant amount.

It would seem cheaper to stay on the ground, lifting things and keeping them off the ground is quite expensive by comparison.
Another downside: when all of the profile photos are uniform and visually consistent, you can no longer quickly distinguish one person from another. At that point, profile pictures become less useful on the whole.

General question about Zeihan -- how substantial is his work? I think he makes compelling arguments and speaks/writes very well, but as a non-US citizen I don't really have enough historical or even present-day context to know where he sits on the hyperbole-realism scale.

He's very thought-provoking though, regardless.
So what? It's a comedy tv series.

I'm a slav and from the balkans, we're either portrayed as tracksuit wearing thugs, drunks or in some relation to the balkan wars. So what?

We even have our own comedy tv series playing with the stereotypes (eg. Kursadzije), where all the stereotypes are used all the time (serbs and croats have historic "issues", montenegrins are lazy, bosnians are stupid and slovenians are femboys)... people like this, they laugh at this, and watch it, in all of the mentioned countries and wider.

Somehow it's always "someone else" that gets offended... same for 2balkan2you subreddit, where a (probably american) admin doesn't get the difference between romanians and roma/gypsy people.

Even with games... stuff like gta 4 just makes people trying to guess what Niko tried to say, because his serbian/serbocroatian accent/pronounciation is horrible in the game.
Yeah, place many places where you can pay with ACH require validation that you have access to that account by making small transactions. Plaid will be "instant", but manual ACH will take a few days, even though manual ACH could be the same kind of "instant".

"...we empirically study candidate techniques for anonymization, such as code normalization, coding

for removing remaining clues from the code, the main result of our work is negative: Anonymization of source code is a hard and open problem..."

What's interesting is in the US that kind of censorship is attributed to the most mainstream religion but China is officially atheist and does the same. Whenever people tell me that it's only one religion standing in the way of equal rights for disadvantaged groups I remind them that there's an atheist superpower that's even less permissive except for on reproductive issues(although, in their case they do regulate it heavily, only in the other direction with limits on the amount of children you can have and forced terminations in the past).

Oh totally. Scalia's copy shop analogy was spot on, and the majority's rebuttal was just "this is more like a video on demand service than a copy shop" was weak as heck and just goes back to their main "shut up about how it works we know what we're looking at" argument.
I’m always suprised by the disdain on HN for artists, like really? Paying an artist a living wage is what’s wrong with the world today?
The SF Fed:

> Inflation has remained at levels well above the Federal Reserve’s inflation goal of 2% for over a year. Separating the underlying data from the personal consumption expenditures price index into supply- versus demand-driven categories reveals that supply factors explain about half of the run-up in current inflation levels. Demand factors are responsible for about one-third, with the remainder resulting from ambiguous factors. While supply disruptions are widely expected to ease this year, this outcome is highly uncertain.

UX definitely ended up being one of the hardest parts. We also never got to the point of really building a compelling product on top of the protocols. We did actually do some work on privacy though, but it never got super far. For example, you could set simple access controls on content that was only available to friends that logged in with an OpenID. I think I had it so that certain of your hcard attributes were only included for authenticated users as well.

Some of the work we did then still exists today in various forms. Activity Steams led to Activity Pub, which has seen far more adoption than we ever did.

And microformats are still widely used in some communities, though certainly not like it could have been, largely things to Google putting weight behind schema.org. For example, nearly all of the indieweb.org work is based around microformats at the core, with things like webmention, micropub, etc
This is a big reason why asynchronous communication works better for me. I can't begin to count the number of problems I've solved in the process of writing an email asking for help. And many more times where the question I was intended to ask changed to a completely different, and more useful question. The process of collecting the information I have, ended up pointing to holes in my thought processes and led to the solution.

If I had gone straight to Slack I would have wasted other people's time, and cheated myself out of thinking through the problem myself.

If you push the money from one account to another, limits are much higher. Do an ACH pull and you’ll have lower limits and may require Authenticator through micro deposits or plaid like provider. 60 day claw back time applies to ACH pull.
Yeah scrapers and in any case if it changes the black and white text to both being the same cool gray. No joke.

This forum gets hacked into that, you can't see points a comment gets unless you measure it by the gray of the comment, in which case you can tell exactly when it has 0 points, or -1, or -2, or -3, or -4.

What does it take to be a good surgeon?

If you can coordinate a large social event, you have all the mental capacity required to be a good programmer/ surgeon

All you have to do as a surgeon is to follow an extremely specific script.
and the script does not change that often since human bodies tend to be
more static than operating systems, compilers, and web browsers.

Can you eat a steak? Well then you have the cutting skills you need.

Have you ever taken needle and thread to do some sort of job?
Well then you understand sutures

Do you really need all As in high school and compete like crazy to get into
Med school, then learn all latin names and bone sequences etc school to be a surgeon?

I don't think so because these skills are something near every possesses.

Yes they try to make it seems like you have to be really smart to be a surgeon,
but if you scrape away all the complexity that is only there to protect the
"smart people" who already are doctors, nearly anyone could be a good surgeon
and we would have much better surgeon.

The profession would be far more inclusive and all that shared culture and experience will just make medicine richer and better for everyone.
We could finally do away with the insane expenses medical procedures have today.

So let us do away with the archaic ritual of a pointless medical degree and open it up for everyone.

Even if that was true (it's not and there are multiple facts that contradicts that theory, but it's not related), how does following situation: "Don't try get protection or we will attack you" considers protection is attacked makes the attacker reasonable in your eyes? Being submissive to oppressor literally never worked well for any country in the history of the world and only shows clear examples how it only makes things worse (ww2 wasn't even that long ago).
Nah. It will spend money on very very expensive feasibility studies, carried out either by some obscure government tender hungry firms, or some large know fuck all consultancy and then nothing will happen. “Europe”, simply isnt capable of large scale projects.
I've had good luck reporting bank/credit union phishing to the banks as well. They tend to have processes and contacts to get things taken down quickly (including toll free numbers, etc), and I'd imagine Apple does too.

Also worth finding the scammer's hosting, and DNS services and report to those abuse contacts too.
"It doesn't affect my job yet because I'm not an artist, so I don't care".

Yet, we see managers at software companies off-shoring for cheap contractor coding sweatshops in the South East of the world and on the site, which HNers here see that as a 'problem' and is hated on.

Well guess what? Copilot will make it worse and will have cheap software shops generating code / project templates and getting more for less rather than employing an expensive full time typical western software engineer. Open source will just accelerate the drive down against closed source alternatives as well.

The start of the race to the bottom, Then it would be a problem for software engineers, software companies, etc. Open source alternatives is already eating itself and closed-source alternative and tools like Copilot used by contractors will just accelerate this much quicker.

That would then be your problem.

> The politicians already have access to the best economic advice they care to listen to. The most likely scenario where they make the same choices for the same reasons.

No they would not. I brought two examples: Greece unemployment and German export surplus. Under neoliberal advice, in both cases it led to a disaster. Not because some variables were wrong, but because the underlying theory is wrong. The neoliberal theory does NOT account for the fact that labour has to buy all the produced goods, which in turn means, supply and demand are NOT independent variables on the labour market (the wages one gets paid are used to buy things and thus have an effect on other jobs). Macro does account for this fact and comes to better solutions. Politicans did NOT get the correct advice, because micro is mainstream.
It's not disdain for artists. It's the notion that artists' works are inherently valuable or worthy of a 'living wage'.

They are unfortunately not, nor is anyone's labor inherently valuable.
There's a whole world of paying jobs out there where near enough is good enough. Where the client just wants to come up with something, and is happy to go in a direction that balances speed and cheapness.

There are millions of these jobs, taken by juniors and people trying to build a portfolio, and they will be diminished greatly.

Indeed it seems to be inverted whereby the company is trying to break through the Peter principle threshold to where the employee is useful again.

The actual silent majority was a violent, reactionary, prowar group led by Nixon. They were not anti war, and they were not silent. The comparison the author made is an incredibly bad analogy, at least to anyone who actually understands reality.
I think using photos of people that are not you should be disallowed. People who haven't seen Star Wars might think you actually look like Luke Skywalker or have a medical condition like Darth Vadar IRL or something.

I do think you should be required to upload a picture of something. If you want to be a blue flower, that's fine. Lots of people with the exact same "default avatar" make it additionally harder to distinguish large numbers of coworkers.
Brings back memories! dynamicdrive.com and another site that I can't quite remember the URL of (it was something like pruitt.com) provided amazing examples of what can be done with JavaScript and DHTML.

Haven[1] is my open-source, self-hosted side project for building exactly this (social networking based on self-hosted pages) in a privacy-first manner. There's a lot from the IndieWeb community that I want to emulate, and microformats is one of them--partly in order to create compatibility with the various MF2/IndieAuth client (phone) apps.

My experience/opinion is that a circles-based approach is a usability nightmare since relationships are fluid and fuzzy, so Haven only has one "share group"--everyone with access to your Haven. That said, it's all built on open protocols (RSS), so it would be pretty straightforward for someone to fork it or build their own that implemented a circles-style approach to sharing.

SP 8 is great; the only reason I didn't upgrade from SP6 to SP8 immediate is that that pen support for SP8 is currently still experimental, while it's stable on SP6. I'm okay with tinkering, but I do need that pen support to work in a relatively reliable manner.

Yes and no. I'm familiar enough with the anglosphere that I could spend hours talking about the cultural nuances between some of its component regions. At the same time, there are broad overall patterns that are hard to escape, to the point where the easier echo chamber escape you describe doesn't quite cut it.

One analogy would be the 20th century. There are many ideologies and cultural movements that clashed against each other during that time, but it's still possible to develop a sense of fatigue about those events and the corresponding ideas, even if these ideas are at odds with each other in some major ways.

In both cases, it's probably easier to conceptualize if you aren't originally anglophone or didn't live most of your life during the 1900's.

Good. Things would be rough for many of us here but it is the better outcome for wider humanity. Advertising and adtech normalise abusive psychological manipulation.
"Aseleponeuvottelutoimikunta" is a silly example and frankly won't come up much.

At the same time, (to this ESL person it seems that) a short Finnish expression can express much more complex concepts than a few English words can usually convey. The complete sentence "Juoksutellaan." means something like "[Yes,] we shall[/should/agree to] make them/him/her/it run around[/work hard/be busy]." The "-lla" implies a non-contiguous form of "to make run", where the subject mostly needs to run, but not all the time. Think of exercising a horse, or keeping an intern busy for a day.
I would argue otherwise. If you are a hardcore techie, you should soon realize that a man without paper, is like a Turing machine with finite or no tape.

I never understood the statement sometimes made of rushing in and just outputting stuff without thinking and writing -- goes contrary to our engineering, informatics and scientific training I would like to argue. I do understand of course the need for experimentation/having the tires hit the road.

P.S. I find I need to write more and these comments and post helps remind me that, so I grasp the opportunity to thank all the commenters for that.
