I went into college during the dotcom bust. Everyone told me I would be making peanuts. I'm pretty happy where I am.

I've lived my life trying to minimize the financial downsides. I want money for security, not to live the high life. I like my job, and don't feel the need to retire early - I would love to do it until I'm 6 feet under. I make a decent enough income, although not the level of many here. I bought a modest house (700k - hey, it's California) compared to what lenders wanted to lend me (1.3mil).

We could afford our expenses on two minimum wage jobs if need be. And that's with 3 kids.
To be fair, California's government required companies to have n95s to deal with wildfire smoke. Those masks were readily available and deployed during covid. It's not always doom and gloom.

As a person who’s owned some luxury cars in their life, going from a BMW to a Model3 feels like a really big downgrade in so many ways.

I can give a list of reasons why I didn’t buy an M3P at the time but quality, lack of repair options and really shitty interior topped the list.

Not having carplay/android auto or satellite radio were minor but still annoying in a car that cost so much money.

Good points. Still, what Apple is doing here is a clear abuse of its position.
Why is stabilizing human beings economic anxiety not useful?

What theory of science dictates infrastructure is the best place to spend it? If the answer is none, it’s a purely social policy and you’re spewing politically correct memory. That infra spend is not an immutable law of reality means there are options other than “poison the sky with expansive vanity projects.”

Even then, there’s plenty of money for both, and human agency available for both. We can stop pretending money is what drives human invention and discovery. It’s politically correct spoken tradition since it’s not an immutable law; how we feel about other economic choices is a range of possibilities, not just the ones we have been raised to speak of
random anecdote: 2004 chrysler Sebring - nothing special, hit 180k before I had some 'unknown' engine problem. Mechanic spent a couple hours trying some stuff, and something worked, and I got another 60k miles out of it before it was time to let it go. That was over a 14 year period. If I was mechanically inclined, I probably could have done a little bit more on my own re: preventative/etc, to get a bit more out of it. Or... had I sunk another $2k in (estimate) to fix a bunch of stuff, who knows? I might have got another few years. But I went with something smaller, newer, better mpg, and probably overall better safety (12 years newer).
The other sibling addresses your second paragraph, but for your first I suggest with this line of reasoning it’s a very slippery slope. To me it’s a bog standard libertarian argument, which I believe to be very myopic.
> if you come by material nonpublic information on your own

Provided you got the information legally.

Of the examples you cite:

Drone surveillance -> Probably illegal depending on local laws

clever analysis of public ID -> Likely legal, although given how CFAA is extremely loose on its interpretation of unlawful access I wouldn't be shocked if a prosecutor successfully argues that it was illegal .

I was planning to be a meteorologist, so I took all of my calculus at community college before transferring. I can remember thinking about how Taylor series were so boring — when would I ever need to estimate a function rather than solve it?

Two years later: literally everything is numerical methods. Taylor and I became besties, and model some weather together. Sometimes what you think you need to know is just wrong.
A VPN generally connects networks, so that’s probably overkill for a database connection, but sure you could use one. Or something like stunnel, etc. or you could just use the built in feature already in Postgres. Why such resistance to simply having this option?

> I really can't shake my personal feeling that chess as a sport is just simply dead, especially as an online e-sport. Especially in combination with the possibility that there's plenty more cheating that they're not catching/detecting.

Online chess is bigger than ever, and some kind of botting/cheating is possible for virtually every e-sport (indeed I'd say many are easier than chess). This is a major scandal that should have serious consequences, but there's no reason for it to be the end of online chess.
There is no such thing as general intelligence exercises (to my current knowledge).

You know those brain mobile games, that claimed you'd be smarter by doing some pattern matching games? They got sued for lying about how effective their games are. It doesn't work, only makes you better at said game.

There was a post on HN recently lamenting about the calculus cartel and you don't get taught WHEN you need to use calculus. Which is the only time you actually need calculus.
Each country still mandates specific plugs.

And yes, if power delivery was still a relatively new industry, EU absolutely should have mandated a single universal outlet that's "good enough". But existing designs predate EU by decades and are already so well-entrenched that changing them all to standardize on a single plug is too much effort to justify the gains.

But it ain't so with USB-C. Mobile rechargeable devices are a relatively recent tech, and the market has already largely converged on a single design. At this point, making it into a real standard, with the result that it's guaranteed to work everywhere, is a no-brainer.

Solid state hydrogen storage typically only gets you to a maximum of 20% hydrogen by weight, which is equivalent to ammonia. Ammonia also lets you liberate all of the hydrogen, whereas hydrides don't.

If you want to use hydrogen for aviation, LH2 is really the best answer, since the percentage hydrogen by weight is much higher. The next best thing would probably be an sofc using hydrocarbon fuel, if you really wanted to go electric, but still needed endurance.
> It seems to me as though they're inserting themselves into this unnecessarily with their analysis too. They spend a great deal of time explaining their rationale in a few places and then toss in a "In our view, no conclusions should be made from this data." at the end of it. If no conclusions should be drawn, don't bother sharing the data; it's useless. By sharing it in this manner, they are attempting to pretend it's reliable and effectively make the accusation with an out to claim they didn't.

I agree. Inline with your comments, the report has to me a bit of the vibe of an PR department scrambling to get ahead of the story. The poorly and inconsistently formatted graphs indicates they were pulled out of various documents written by various people at different times. And the spray and prey arguments that don't go any where make it seem like they're desperate to appear as objective and unbiased as possible ... which indicates that they are very biased in their urge/need to respond to the "Magnus refuses to play with Hans" situation.

If their cheating detection is so good, wouldn't it be reasonable for chess.com to say to Magnus that you don't have to worry about cheating in our tournaments so you'll play whoever you're paired with and you can leave it up to us to ban people because we know what we're talking about. Why ban Hans now, right after Magnus's ultimatum?
Let's look at EVs in Europe:

https://eu-evs.com/marketShare/ALL/Groups/Line/All-time-by-Y...

Tesla was the number 1 EV maker in 2019, but so far in 2022 Tesla is number 3.

Other manufacturers own many brands and release many models under each brand. The Tesla Model Y is the best selling EV in Norway this year:

https://elbilstatistikk.no/

But the best selling EV manufacturer in Norway is Volkswagen. Volkswagen has four EVs in Norway's top 10 sellers: VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, Audi Q4 e-tron, and the Audi e-tron.

The VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, and the Audi Q4 e-tron are different versions of the same car. Rather than selling just one model Volkswagen's approach gives you the choice of more options.

Add in ICE vehicles and it's not even close. Volkswagen sells 10 million per year globally across all of its brands (VW, SEAT, Cupra, Skoda, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Ducati, Scania, MAN, etc.).

I don’t want to doubt Postgres’ effectiveness as a message queue (however difficult it may be) but I have to wonder if maybe they were doing something weird or wrong in the consumer for it to be ineffective?

So in that case, require ssl. But, that probably shouldn't be the default.
I am always unsure how this applies to someone with an irregular exercise schedule. If, when fasting (intermittent) my exercise is primarily cardio then I will continue fasting. However if it is resistance training, does getting some protein into my system as soon as possible take priority over fasting? Or is this less important than the immediate-protein-shake crowd suggests? Should I try to pull the window forward if exercising early?

Putin is definitely going to do something when he feels cornered, who is going to stop him? He's already had everyone against him pushed off buildings.

How on earth do you even find work like this?

I would love to have a career working on problems like this but can't imagine how I'd get a job doing anything but commonplace back-end work.
I'm doing that right now, one thing I learned after my first child is: do your best to be efficient with some good level of effectiveness and deliver your expected output (which should already be reduced) in less time. E.g. Use the time for errands to think on how to approach a problem for example.

Now on the second one, I'm doing sort of this schedule:

- mornings to lunch is work time, my wife looks after the little one, the older one is at kindergarten
- lunch is not short break, usually from noon to 2pm, time with the wife and with the little one
- 4pm-ish full stop as the older one gets home, I don't accept meetings after this time
- 8pm-ish bed routine, sleep 1hr-2hr or so with them
- wake up, grind some work until hitting a goal
- weekends: I do some prep work for the week, but is 3 hours tops in 2 days

The little one is 1y old now, and this have being going like that for 6m or so, is it healthy? No, you need proper sleep time to be able to give care.

Do I work 8h day? Definitely not, 8h is really rare right now.

I've tried shifting my schedule to start very early, like waking 5-6am but I did not managed to switch.

This does not work on the long term I believe, there were weeks where I fully skipped the night shift and only did the work I could during the day, as I felt that I wasn't able to give care and attention properly being tired.
From your link:

>"Within days of the announcement that the Twitter board had accepted Musk’s $44 billion offer, Benioff, who is currently worth more than $6 billion, sent Musk a cryptic text about his own vision for the platform, writing on April 27, “Happy to talk about it if this is interesting: Twitter conversational OS—the townsquare for your digital life.”

Wow. This is like something right out of an episode of Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley." These people might be extremely wealthy but jeez they are basically buffoons. I'm guessing Beinoff only shares his "A" material with Musk and he obviously felt that "Twitter conversational OS" was worth sharing. You couldn't get any more Gavin Belson than either "conversational OS" or "the townsquare for your digital life.”
That may be slightly better, but you still need to pull a connection to the chime. In my case, it wouldn’t be all that much easier to get there vs going straight to the door.
Magnetic breakaway USB-C cables are already a thing.

Yes. it says "Wi-Fi for high-data rate connectivity and Thread for low-data-rate communications"

Wi-Fi in the hub but not in the devices would make no sense. Why have Wi-Fi in the hub if devices aren't going to use Wi-Fi to connect to it?

Also I went back, and searched the post for Wi-Fi, and the thing I quoted is the only reference to Wi-Fi. It uses Wi-Fi for high data rate connectivity. IE, a camera transferring data to the hub. so the camera has wifi. You can't transmit data over Thread, it's not high bandwidth enough. No where in the linked post, though, or in the source press release does it mention that Wi-Fi is optional, but other more informed users here have said that it is optional, and only necessary for high bandwidth stuff like cameras, so lightswitches could be Thread only. So some devices apparently won't have it. But many will.

Reading the actual CSA press release, it says

> Wi-Fi enables Matter devices to interact over a high-bandwidth local network and allows smart home devices to communicate with the cloud.

So yes. The goal for the Wi-Fi is both to transmit high bandwidth stuff like camera feeds over local network, but also to allow "smart devices to communicate with the cloud" aka "reach the internet". So yes, the devices _will_ have WiFi.

You should read it more carefully.
I commented on this already in another post, but I'll reiterate here: How do you know a player is a cheater?

If you can't prove a player cheated, that is if you never catch the cheater, then whatever the player did is legitimate. It doesn't matter if the player in fact cheated and got away with it, it's all legitimate if he wasn't caught.

The rules do not and cannot police the act of cheating itself, only the results and only if the cheater is caught.

I spent a fair bit of time at my last job trying to convince people that migrating to SAFERTOS and certifying from there was easier than certifying from FreeRTOS, to no avail. It's more like a fork than a drop-in replacement once you're far along in a project, but it's certainly the better path to take than the alternative. I'd still say the developer and EE experience on Linux is far better than either though.

Not sure how this study was designed; but it's been replicated probably dozens or hundreds of times that circadian-based eating schedules confer the best metabolic benefits. That is, the earlier the eating, the better the metabolic benefit. Although I have seen some data that suggests you should wait one hour before consuming your first meal (as you should wait for the cortisol spike from waking to taper).
One of the most interesting (but inconclusive) points they found was how Hans' evaluated strength dropped after they introduced the 15 minute broadcast delay.

It looks like they are transparently trying to raise their margins. I guess they are more supply-constrained than they thought. The "smart car of the future" from Tesla now has no sensors other than cameras, and not very many of those.
Totally fair ... and it would make a lot of sense that this event brings about some sort of cultural cleansing or realignment. I guess I really just meant "dead to me."

That being said, if it turns out that online chess continues to do well, but there's still plenty of cheating going on, I don't think it'd be accurate to say online chess is alive because it wouldn't be chess but something different, for better or worse. And whether such an outcome occurs might be what's really at stake here.

I got similarly confused by a typhoon map. Ended up being downgraded to a tropical storm right before landfall. The place outside the cone I thought might be fun to go in order to wait it out turned out to be hit worse by that storm. I didn't end up going so it wasn't much of a waste. Just served as a reminder to me that you can't actually game/optimize for these things in the way I sometimes like to imagine I can.
I didn't "get you". What is your non-literal definition of economy?
I do think they were slightly involved. They invested a few billion dollars into pro-democracy organizations inside Ukraine, starting in the early 1990s, and held close diplomatic relations with Ukrainian politicians. None of this is abnormal, it's the standard practice of US soft influence.

But it's not even close to an exhaustive explanation. The Ukrainians have agency, they have their own media ecosystem, they are capable of forming their own opinions. They saw Putin as the dictatorial thug that he is. Putin achieved that by himself by invading Georgia, poisoning his opponents overseas, rigging elections and assassinating journalists.

Anyways, this isn't relevant to the question of Putin's rationality.

> It doesn’t make sense to not buy the best house you can afford.

I heard that a lot in the 2006-2007 era. And plenty of people lost that "best home they could afford" back then. Fortunately, I couldn't afford a four-figure car, much less a house - though some other grad students seemed able to convince someone to offer them loans. No idea how all those worked out, I do hope some of them were able to keep the houses.

I know quite a few people who are able to afford their houses, but wish they'd purchased smaller. A larger house, all other things being equal, will cost more to heat and cool, take more time to clean and maintain, and will generally have far higher carrying costs. You can mitigate some of them, but they're quite a bit more expensive than something smaller, simpler, and cheaper to maintain.

I don't own a house as an investment. I own it as a place to live, with some land to do things outside. And at this point, our "minimum monthly spend" to keep the house climate controlled and lit is pretty darn low. Again, I recognize it's not a particularly popular point of view, especially in the tech circles, but I find "buying a big house as an investment when you don't need it" to be entirely absurd.
I'm very curious if this will hold with the changing shape of demographic curves with aging populations. Right now in the US, two very large generations - Boomers and Millennials - want houses, and I'm guessing this is a large driving factor in the home supply-demand issues. I wonder what happens once the boomers start seriously downsizing or just dying off in earnest.
