Jobs get pretty fun too if nothing seriously bad happens if you fail at it. That's why so many people who are financially independent keep working.
Bitcoin advocates have generally been exceedingly clear about these kinds of things. To the point of begging people to listen. From "not your keys, not your coins" to "KYC/AML bought coins are easy to trace" to "please, for the love of god, don't give your coins to the centralized Celsius to try to eek out an extra 10% gains you greedy dumbass".

People consistently don't listen.

Crypto pumpers on the other hand tend to not care and say whatever BS they want to pump their bags.
FTA: It is usual for commercial airliners to spend weeks or more continuously powered on as crews change at airports, or ground power is plugged in overnight while cleaners and maintainers do their thing.

I don’t know how long rebooting a 787 takes, but turn Around Time of an airliner may be too short to do a reboot. http://aviationavi.com/turn-around-time-tat/:

Ryanair a private ULCC of Europe and one of the largest ULCC of the world having a TAT of 25 minutes does not have a seatback pocket.

Wondering why?

Back in 2004, removal of seat back pockets greatly reduced the time for which the Ryanair aircraft stayed on the ground. That’s is because it takes more time to clean an airplane with seatback pockets.

So, that’s 25 minutes from touching down to being airborne again. Chances are the plane is standing still for less than 15 minutes. Long-haul flights take longer (up to two hours, according to https://simpleflying.com/aircraft-turnaround-process/)

Also: it wouldn’t surprise me if you could not refuel an airliner while it is rebooting, all lights may be off for a while, etc.
I think we disagree because you're saying you can choose to drink or not, but the choice we're talking about is now that you have drunk, do you drive or not? Because that's the actual choice that Americans face.

If you're saying that "drive or not" is the choice, then sure we agree. But that's not really a choice because every incentive would be to drive and that's the structure we've built with car-only culture.

Assuming you are being sarcastic... if not, well, there's a HUGE shortage of pilots. Regionals are requesting FAA exceptions to lower the requirements for PIC (pilot in command) time so they can broaden their applicant pool.
In the short-term this might work, but if you're trying to build a company that grows, then it doesn't work so well, because other people you hire will ... want the same thing.

If you expense your cell phone bill every month, then it's reasonable for other employees to expect the same, if they're also using it for work.

Better to get the board to sign off on a slightly higher salary to offset these expenses, IMO.
Rather, today you learn that wire transfers are not irreversible.

> there are extenuating circumstances, which qualify you for a wire transfer reversal. These special circumstances are as follows:

* Your bank made a mistake with the recipient’s account number.

* The amount of money the recipient received is more than you intended to send.

* The wire transfer was a duplicate.

Every component in an aircraft require maintenance and inspections after so many operating hours. Why should software be any different?
If you take two entangled photons, send each a light year away in opposite directions. Now an satellite (which are 2ly from one another at each endpoint measures the polarization). Each satellite measures the spin along a specific axis.

The correlation in spin measured by the two satellites is dependent upon the difference in angle of the two measurements. Correlation with the local stuff around each satellite isn't enough. Somehow, the choice of measurement angle seems to be non-local (transmitted at large distances and at greater than light speed).

> It's a pretty amazing accomplishment for humanity to have developed systems as complex as modern jumbo jets with "brains" that are essentially more reliable than the ones that created them.

Airplanes are not reliable. That's why they require frequent and regular maintenance.

Ignoring the poor analogy linking brains/humans to human built systems, if every human maintained their mental and physical health as much as airplanes get, then they'd all be much better off.
Too bad so few on the planet read Mandarin who might be able to understand it, right? Such a rare language...
I'm not sure I interpret the article or the parent comment as saying American Airlines isn't allowed to do this. They're just making life harder for their employees and dont seem to be addressing the problem they're working around. It's just a little whistleblowing that they're a shitty employer.

I think what the parent comment is trying to say is that their description of their approach here as "sophisticated bot detection" is a little bit like someone calling me a hacker because I have my terminal open during the flight. There is an intentional use of words here trying to make the app developer sound like the bad guy.
I use an IDE with plenty of smart completion. Copilot offers considerably more (otherwise I wouldn't use or pay for it).

In the article, a lot is made about much of this training being "discovered on day 2", not "voluntarily agreed upon as part of the employment contract". Certainly that also happens, but there are problems with the first scenario.
On iOS, I like the Ham Morse app. It does Koch and Farnsworth, simulates QSOs, and sends news summaries.
> You conspicuously left out mortgage.

Mortgage is rent – the rental of money. This was explicitly mentioned. However, having a high paying job for a reasonable amount of time means that being left with a mortgage is unnecessary. Being able to avoid rent allows for a tremendous reduction in cost of living.

If you blew it all on hookers and blow instead of setting yourself up while in your favourable position, I guess you are out of luck, but the foolish scenario was already addressed.

> Life insurance. Provisions for the family. Vehicle payment. etc.

None of those are related to the housing example, so they wouldn't be applicable. They are applicable more generally, of course, but not within context. But all those too are much cheaper when you are rich. If you have the capability to front load food purchases in bulk, for example, they can be purchased for much less (not only the immediate cost, but also against inflation), reducing your cost of living. It is amazing how cheaply one can actually live when they are rich. Very different to when one is poor.

Some infinitely more likely survival situations involve tooting on a horn or blinking a flashlight.

Survival situations are one of those power law distributions where the odds of one person being in a survival situation at some point in their life are surprisingly high, regardless how unlikely it would be for a couple billion people to simultaneously be in the same survival situation.

> The surprising thing here is that it is considered worth it with those limitations.

It shouldn't be that surprising. Languages like Java and C# are perfectly sensible languages for writing the vast majority of a lot of trading systems. So it's eminently reasonable to use them, or equivalent, and deal with the bits that are GC-phobic as special cases.

I've worked with/on trading systems written is mainstream languages including C++, Java, C# and Python, as well as less mainstream such as APL and Smalltalk. I can safely say that there are way more critical concerns than whether or not it uses a GC.
This is some highly impressive logic right here.

Proposition: "They don't use private code".

Proof: "They said they don't use private code. Either the private code appearing is published somewhere else, or they are using private code. Lying would be bad. Therefore the code is published somewhere else, and they don't use private code".

Seems fine to me. Something like one tenth of packages reserving a second name? Not a big deal.
It all really depends on your situation and context. Does your company have an office yet? If not it's probably the founder's residence. I've heard of apartments listed as offices in very early days. It's not about committing fraud, it's about working with what you've got. But for sure paying founders a low salary and running everything through the business is a tax-conscious strategy to minimize overall expenses.
I don't claim moral moral highground based on my personal history.

Cool page, though the Halting Problem brings with it a lot of stuff, so using it to prove Godel's first incompleteness theorem is (imo) a bit like cheating. I've proven it before using diagonalization on my blog (but also using concepts like computability for free). At the end of the day, using these ideas, you get the Curry–Howard correspondence for free (which, again, is a bit like cheating).

> Gödel’s original proof was slightly stronger

Technically speaking, a lot stronger. Proving Godel's first incompleteness theorem (don't even get me started on the second) from first principles is actually much more involved; and certainly more difficult to make it intelligible for non-logicians.
> Bitcoin advocates have generally been exceedingly clear about these kinds of things. To the point of begging people to listen. From "not your keys, not your coins" to "KYC/AML bought coins are easy to trace"

Such advocates are the fringe. Most bitcoin advocates are saying "If you're not buying bitcoin you're an idiot! It's easy money! My critics are no-coiners who didn't listen to me!"
I find it interesting that similar claims have been made against several members of the Republican party in recent times (by prominent news outlets).

Even among fans, early Kanye was never considered a great rapper (although he was always considered an elite producer). It always felt clear to me that he'd be around and doing big things in the music industry for many years, but I kinda assumed he'd be much more behind the scenes and focusing on production.
I think we should emphasize that Sourcehut is just currently free while it is in alpha. Mr. DeVault been very upfront about the fact that he's planning to start charging eventually. From his FAQ,

https://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md#why-should-i-pay-when-githu...

The point is to set up a responsible financial situation between himself and the users and avoid the bad incentive structures that "free" services have ("Free" until VC money runs out, at which point it is roll of the dice whether they'll be monetized through acquisition, or some annoying scheme).
Talking about food, in some parts of Spain "Chinos" is a very confusing word.
Not really. There are tons of gray areas:

1. First, it's perfectly legal for an employer to pay for housing, but it may be counted as income to an employee. It depends: https://www.corporatehousing.com/blog/corporate-housing-tax-...

2. The IRS also allows deductions for a home office. The rules about this are pretty strict, but again, there are gray areas here about what counts as an office.
Open Source Startup Pod Ep with CEO of Snowplow Analytics
That's fine we can call it discipline (which some in the weight loss debate believe is impossible to cultivate, not myself). The point is, if there is indeed a conceptually simple way to increase intelligence, there's no inherent contradiction in most being unable to do it and statistical evidence looking the way it does.
In this episode, we discuss the flexibility you get from bootstrapping your company - especially if it's open source, the importance of GTM and user persona clarity when building in a competitive space, investing in product marketing early, the challenges of visibility when open source is a core part of your GTM funnel, and much more!
> If you sign up for the training

IF. In many of these cases, employees show up, are told that they are "required" to undergo training that the company has now enrolled them in and that they will be required to repay.
> Chinese and Russian systems and their reactions so far prove it.

I would argue the jury is still out wrt to China. A massive population 4x the size of US and 3x the size of the EU, with strong cultural work ethic that prioritizes education. Scientific and technological advancement comes from widespread tinkering and experimenting, be it govt funded, corp lab, or hackers in garages, all of which China can have in more abundance than anywhere else, except maybe India. China has a significant advantage in that respect, and it's too early to tell how much or if their totalitarian govt model will constrain or undermine that dynamic.

That's the grand socio-techno-political experiment happening now. History is far from over.
> Not working on the technology wouldn't have done the world any favours (nor the millions of people who wore the more affordable clothes it produced).

Did you read the comment you're replying to at all? It says

>The Luddites were happy to operate the new looms, they just wanted to realize some of the profit from the savings in labor along with the factory owners.

Now maybe you agree maybe you disagree. But if you're just talking past the person you're replying to... what's the point?
Being 100% immune to censorship is the perfection you're striving for.

If you weren't striving for perfection then you would accept the status quo as good enough, not try to make something new.

Which gap in outcome is more important/influential: the gap in outcome between Jeff Bezos and you or between you and the neighbors you've lived near all your life?

Bezos could have 10x or 10% of what he has now and it wouldn't change my life at all.
Even if he’s known to be mentally ill, his ideas can still stand. Take Ted Kaczynski for example. His actions were inexcusable but his ideas and writings on technology and its relationship to society have value.
Similarly, no chance I’m ever going back to government work. It’s so slow to get anything done. So many approvals and nitpicking and meetings to talk about nothing.. I went back to try to bid on a contract right before Covid and immediately noped my way out of there because I forgot that the feds already have a contractor decided. the bidding process is just a sham to cherry-pick the good engineers from a struggling firm
Commercial banks experience runs when they write illiquid loans that they can't sell at cost as fast as people cash out. If they never write loans or only write completely liquid loans that never default they will never get run. Tether could park all their assets in short term government debt and they would never have a problem, but they want to get higher returns.
> If something is free, you are the product.

We really need to stop repeating this, it's a clever soundbite that we repeat to each other to be dismissive. It is not true, by which I mean it's not even false in some cases, it's just generally not true. Free products exist, in abundance, for which you are not a product. Paid users are often still products.
I think it can be both. Mainly it is just getting attention now because the advertisement part has started to become more obvious given that the search engine part is less useful.

Google also captures a ton of credit card swipe transactions which is crazy to me - that does not involve the web at all!
I would consider a run on Tether to be $40B of redemptions or more. Even if they're not fully backed they probably have some assets.
Compiling Swift Generics [pdf]
This is why I think it’s irresponsible to not give the public access to these early models. I think a slow, increasing, exposure to the absurd/false will work out much better than the isolation desired by the orgs who are trying to “protect” us, because that isolation will end up being temporary, resulting in a step rather than a ramp.
"The Large Hadron Collider is not a physics experiment, it's a Government lobbying entity"

Hate it or love it, the advertising supported business model of the Internet has transformed the lives of a large chunk of humanity beyond any belief. I come from a very poor background in a country many would consider backward and yet, i had access to the wonders of human knowledge at the tips of my fingers while growing up. The generation before me were not so lucky and its incredibly sad to contrast these fortunes.
America acquired it fair and square, the same way nearly all land is acquired throughout human and animal history. Conquest. Those other areas haven't been annexed in the same way, because, after developments in the post WW2 era, acquisition evolved from outright colonization, to control using local proxies and a comprador class economically dependent on the core.
Back in 1998, Google was indeed the upstart: a limited index compared to the giant of the time, AltaVista.

I actually like the term "web pointers" on the page over the traditional [hyper]links, as it's more accurate to what happens in reality: The reference is one-way, without feedback on if what is being referenced changes or disappears entirely.

Some taxes, not all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Puerto_Rico

> Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States and Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens; however, Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state, but a U.S. insular area. Consequently, while all Puerto Rico residents pay federal taxes, many residents are not required to pay federal income taxes. Aside from income tax, U.S. federal taxes include customs taxes, federal commodity taxes, and federal payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes).

Any attempt to give PR statehood or make it part of an existing state (Florida, I guess?) would meet with vociferous objection from Puerto Rico.
Looks like that strategy worked out great for the other person who did that. What was his name again and what was that awful platform?

There's an interesting blip at the end of the chart "Bootstrapped vs. VC-Backed Salaries Breakdown".

Salary Range Bootstrapped VC-Backed
-------------- ----------- --------------
200k-249k 3% 6%
250k-299k 1% 3%
300k+ 6% 2%

Overall, I see a pattern that could be explained by slightly different perspectives. A VC-backed founder likely sees themselves working for someone else - "My work will benefit the investors, so I will get paid for that work." Whereas the bootstrapper is very obviously working for themself - "I'll take what I've earned or need and no more".

That's also where you get into that bump at the end. If my bootstrapped company is earning 10M/yr, you bet I'm taking 1M+ salary guilt-free.

Are all the visible wavelengths present in equal magnitude? It looks yellow to me.
I wish this were the case! Plenty of more expensive cars (~40k) still don’t have it standard. And almost no ~20-30k cars have it standard either.
IRS just got their funding to hire more people. I'm pretty sure what used to be "not really look at" will be under microscope.
One of the consequences of this is when something goes very wrong, and the people involved say it really shouldn't have because something like 4 separate things have to fail at the same time for that to have happened.

What they don't realise is that, thanks to the FFT, 2 of those 4 things actually failed over a year ago and the system has been continuing to work ever since without anyone ever noticing. One of the other things actually fails intermittently a couple of times per month, and while a couple of people have noticed that and reported it, either it's not been investigated at all, or when it was investigated everything looked fine and the report was put down as an unexplained glitch. All that was actually needed was for the 4th thing to fail, to cause this "can't happen" failure mode to suddenly ruin everyone's day.
A Human-Centric Approach to Measuring Engineering Teams
This is how fake news happens. I really wish we all took a bit more time to research things before we publish them, because I guarantee you there will be more people today running around and sharing this exact same fake news about founders living in apartments paid for by their startups.
Sell it to a subsidiary or shell that owns it for the purpose of renting it back to him, or just makes it available, like buying a house through an LLC. Problem solved.

It's maybe a business model. Real estate ownership is public, so industries and practices spring up to obscure them. Everything that is valuable and public will eventually have a shell-company veil woven over it.
It's not clear to me that they would have had a better opportunity. "Lethal intervention" is among the best case scenarios in a mass shooting, I don't know why we are litigating it like the outcome was particularly tragic. It may not have been perfect, and I'm sure there's something to learn from it, but people are discussing it like it was Uvalde or something. It seems like it was as close to a desirable outcome as could reliably be secured--I'm glad police didn't roll the dice in hoping for a less lethal outcome with innocent lives hanging in the balance.
