Two years ago I had to replace my roof and the cost was more than the sum of mortgage payments for a year. Not too long before that, the AC needed replacement and that was ~ 6 months of mortgage payments.

I’m grateful that I can afford it, but I understand that the mortgage isn’t the entire cost of the house and that renting allows me to leverage someone else’s capital in an efficient manner.
I'm sure Google always anonoymises the IP now though? They drop the last octet.
If you think this one is bad: look at Plaid, which literally phishes users bank credentials as "fintech".
Aren't most anti-cheat systems basically rootkits? Mandatory anti-cheat sounds like the greater of two evils compared to walled-garden hardware. At least the latter is upfront about what you're getting.
The Nobel Prize tends to favor initial breakthroughs. Svante's lab sequenced the very first complete Neandertal genome, showing it was possible to reconstruct genomes from ancient DNA, with high-throughput sequencers, and developing the necessary lab protocols and software to put it all together (with his lab). Svante was senior author on the Denisova paper as well. So, I am not surprised. There was no major advance needed for Reich to do his work further elucidating the origin and dispersion of various hominin species and ancient human populations.
And that is whos problem? You dont pay for that either.
The blessing and the curse is that you get to choose.

Choose Netflix, choose a hobby, choose a career, choose a family, pick several of the above, and/or choose to try to surmount the mountain and be the best among billions.

There's no meaning of life, but there's the meaning you choose for your life.

As with best practices in goals and games, I suggest placing meaning in the choices where success is defined by what is within your control, not on what is outside of your control.
Here in suburbia in the Netherlands, there's chargers on basically every street in area's without driveways, and in areas where people mostly have a driveway, you can find most will have a private charger.

I can't charge in the carpark with my house, but never have an issue finding (many) free charging spots on the streets around my house. And besides the level 2 chargers (11/22kw) here, there's also enough fast-chargers around, though these tend to be expensive.
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote from US

I like working with early-stage startups as they work through ambiguous and difficult technical + product problems. I can manage end-to-end web app development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design.

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies (like https://moonlightwork.com), and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major companies like Webflow and Trusted Health. But, my passion is building things - and I use my background in software and product to help early-stage startups either build or scale a product.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, Python, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

I don't think that looking for shelters or martial law being imposed is a realistic concern. If Russia drops a nuke, it would most likely be in Ukraine and a tactical one on the front-line or some military infrastructure. Imposing a martial law would not go without economic costs, in already tough times. Has any country but Ukraine imposed a martial law when Russia attacked it, despite the fear of being the next target? The worst case scenario where you would need to look for shelters, I don't think it would apply to just that geographical area.
I'm not sure what the situation is in this case, but in the past there have been a lot of licenses which were sold under previous laws and/or previous government administrations that can't easily be _legally_ limited.

As a result, the current administration can't force them not to use those licenses, but are still likely to put at least _some_ pressure on them to minimize their use of them.

Résumé/CV: https://ryanguill.com/resume/
Email: ryanguill+hn [at] gmail [dot] com

I am a lead software engineer with over 20 years of experience in many different industries. Most recently I was the first then primary engineer leading a startup to a successful exit. I am a polyglot with experience in several languages - I am an expert in a language I would like to move away from. Most recently I have been focused on TS/JS but with the opportunity I can become proficient in any language and would love to expand my experience. I am especially interested in typed and/or functional languages. I am most interested in backend positions, but I am experienced in frontend and devops. I may be interested in data science positions - I have a strong SQL and relational DB background. I enjoy being the bridge between business and product, understanding the problem and working together to find a solution. I have a more written about my background and outlook in my resume.

In my current role I have a wide range of responsibilities and not as much focus. I would prefer to join a well established team where I can contribute deeply and be truly productive. Looking for stability, good work life balance, and a remote first team. I'm looking for a problem worth solving that I can sink my teeth into and make a difference.
You're dancing around the issue at play though. An application that hitches or glitches for a second every few minutes will quickly become irritating. It doesn't matter if it works 99% of the time. It has to work 100% of the time or its strictly inferior to console or PC.
I remember it very differently.

They disabled Linux because it got jailbroken and that was how they jailbroke it. If they didn't jailbreak the PS3 they wouldn't have disabled Linux. I think it was GeoHot who cracked it, I think it was because they used the same cryptographic key for all machines or something like that.

This isn't a story of how taking away freedom from users resulted in piracy, this is a story of how piracy took freedoms away from uesrs.
so this guy had nature and nurture on his side, nice!

What, you just expect Google to show you a giant red box saying "Whoops, we detected that you were trying to do an ad fraud! Better luck next time!". Google will happily show you whatever ads you request, but they won't count them as monetizable impressions and they won't charge advertisers for them. The goal is to make it impossible to tell as a bot operator whether your fraud was successful. So why give bot operators more info about how to evade your detections?

> How can good content be monetized in a way that allows it to remain independent and not succumb to warping its content to feed that monetization? How can it be audience driven instead? Is such a thing even possible? Right now good monetization strategies beget bad content. There's got to be a better way than cobbling together five platforms under a Patreon account, giving all of them 10-50% along the way.

From the outside, it seems like a lot of people bring their audiences to those platforms and make an okay living at it — not becoming millionaires, but making a "grown up living" — and that they can be relatively audience-driven as opposed to advertiser driven, or following the dictates of a distant corporate directive. That's what it seems like. Is that hopelessly naive of me to believe?
I can't speak for politicians and corporations. They have their own reasons for doing things (money).

However, as an average Canadian, there is an expectation that when you have a license, you use the forest in a way that does not permanently scar the land. That the forest management practices used are up to date and considerate of the environment. It is a naïve way of thinking but a common one based on the conversations I hear around me.

In reality, it's often clear-cutting. Turn the land into something similar to a desert that will not be able to regrow possible for maximum profit, destroying the flora and fauna completely.

People don't pay attention to who own the forest and are suddenly surprised when it disappear in a day. Then they move on and forget there was one in the first place.

"The country is so big, surely we still have more forest!"

It's also common to see lands that have been cleared of trees still have a border of uncut forest at the borders. Not for the environment but to hide the damage. You can only see the missing forest from the sky.

Forty? A mere child! I'm about to turn 59, and I spend my days coding. And I love it.

At my current job I could have easily moved into people management. But the modest salary bump just ain't worth headache as long they let me keep building software.

My plan is to ease into retirement over the next decade or so as an indie hacker. Maybe try to grow my current passive income side project. Maybe make new things or take on occasional contracts.

There are plenty of people who lose their passion building software or get tired of keeping up with tech. There's a reason for stereotype. But there are many of us who are living exceptions.

This is exactly what GDPR is for, right? Arguing "you've already given some data to one bit of Google, so all bets are off and they can collect and store whatever they like" is the kind of logic we want to put a stop to.
You can have decent public transport with low population density, it just costs more (but probably less, or at least not more by a lot, than alternatives, if all externalities are included). Switzerland has villages of hundreds of people served by regular frequent rail (and it's pretty much the norm). Bulgaria, the poorest country in the EU, has that too (in very specific cases, not as a general rule, but still).
Just like flight simulators: how else can you smash millions of dollars of precision machinery into a building without severe consequences?
Suppose you produce a network whose weights can reproduce the content of the training dataset, as can happen. Are you saying that because it's just weights for a model, it can bypass the license of the data used to produce it and which can be reproduced by it?
It's wild to me that there are people who are so intoxicated with a "wife positive brand" that they'd form into a mob demanding cancelling over something like cheating. The moral crusades of the past are now online sideshows featuring the interpersonal problems of real people. I can't help but to analog this kind of thing to the journals that routinely print rumors or juicy controversies about celebrities solely to make a dollar.
I wonder if a hack would be - just like a USB power bank to power your phone away from an outlet - to have a portable lithium ion battery (something like Jackery, the only name I know since I watched an LTT video about it[1]) to charge your car. You fill up the Jackery at home, and you drag it to your car when it's time to charge.

Optimally you could leave it in inside your car while charging (otherwise it'd be stolen), and route the cable in a weatherproof way to the charger port.

Alternatively, cars should start having a charging port inside the car.

there is no incentive to figure out the solution to this problem. The largest players in this space (Google, Facebook) require advertisers to spend money to make money.

If the big players were to solve the ad fraud problem, beyond a superficial level, it would hurt their bottom line —- which hurts stock price, which is tied to compensation for their employees.

Ad fraud is usually a niche conversation that doesn’t get much traction (esp as most publications are reliant on ads), but the twitter / musk lawsuit is helping more people pay attention.
super huge problem, especially when you think about the larger scale implications of that inefficiency (having to re-invent the wheel experimentally over and over again when science is SUPPOSED to be architectural or reproducible). This is one of the biggest reasons why we started working on https://www.scifind.net/ to build an open-access database of this kind of empirical tacit knowledge. Like how StackOverflow tackled the granularities of tech-based problem solving. An interesting paper I like to look at is this one (https://www.facetsjournal.com/doi/10.1139/facets-2019-0007) that talks about all the "dark knowledge" that exists in the space...in this scenario, knowledge whether institutional or word-of-mouth that constantly gets lost in the ether.

Instead of constantly prioritizing the erudite publishing system (whose goal is conceptual in nature), I think a bit of openness from a utilitarian perspective can seriously help scientists with troubleshooting and reproducibility. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
