>> Do you think it's practically possible to learn everything without any structure, discipline?

You can learn something superficial without any structure and discipline, but structure and discipline are essential for progress in any learning: be it programming, foreign languages, etc.

There is nothing arcane about acquiring new skills. Plan at least a few steps ahead, set some medium term achievable goals. You need to have both theoretical (CS, frameworks) and practical (build something) parts in your studies.

University can give you some start, but if you want to be successful at work you need to learn how to learn, and it is a life-long activity.
>If the liabilities are collateralized by assets on their balance sheet, then the financial risk is not to Alameda but the lender!

Ok, this is kind of a fair point, if these loans are collateralized by the assets, then it's the lenders who have a problem. But that does actually mean there's someone out there who is going to get absolutely mugged. It's also a bit of a question who, other than some other SBF entity, would make these loans - who is accepting FTT as collateral? It also means that you need to apply that logic to their assets, meaning their supposed $14.6Bn you probably need to regard around $12Bn minimum to be absolutely worthless.

I would absolutely not say they for sure insolvent, but these numbers do clearly look very worrying.
Yes and IPOs too. Look at the SPAC mess recently: they skipped the part where anyone benefits and went straight to cash.
Just learned about Nitter. Now I’m wondering if I can locally redirect Twitter URLs to a Nitter instance that I setup? Just by DNS or something more
Oh, nothing meaningful will be accomplished here. It's a dog and pony show to distract from all of the global systemic forces causing inflation. Are there corporations maybe raising prices more than they need to? sure, but nothing happening at this hearing will do anything to address that. Do you disagree with this analysis? Maybe i'm being too cynical
> Pick a project you’re passionate about and find a technology you’re curious to learn

This is the absolute best way to learn anything in my eyes, as you build it you will be forced to face problems and forced to find solutions for those problems yourself.
If you can't come up with (and be driven by) a project on your own, find someone (a friend, a prospective cofounder, a colleague) who does have an idea, then work with them on making that idea come to life.
1) is he available under my insurance plan?

2) irrespective of his certificates or qualifications, does he listen when I'm trying to describe my problem or is he just looking down and poking at his laptop or tablet checking boxes? (I realize they're crushed by bureaucracy as much as anyone else, but if they're not at least glancing in my direction every now and then, why am I even there? I could just use email or even one of those "telephone" things and get the same service)

3) does he actually do doctor things, or does he view himself as a "primary care physician" whose only purpose is to be the gatekeeper between you and the real doctor he might refer you to in order to get something done?

I've had way too many doctors pass #1 and then fail both #2 and #3.
GP here. I found every part of the process insane. To enumerate:

1) getting locked out for not having the CVV of some random card that expired a decade earlier

2) being allowed to transfer money out, but not to login into the account

3) being allowed to keep my second account, even though they don't trust me enough to give me access to the first

None of these make sense individually, and they make even less sense as a whole.
>>He has said and posted things he shouldn’t.

>According to whom?

I found that time he called a diver who was trying to save those kids a pedophile to be pretty revealing. Also, calling himself "Lorde Edge" was pretty awful. I suppose if you're asking "who has the right to tell him not to say that?" the answer is "no one", but I find it hard to respect the guy when he acts so childishly.

That's a dangerous thought process. Silencing people who don't understand things surely cannot be good as a whole.

If he requires anyone that wants to use the API to be a verified subscriber, then he’ll kill a lot of bots abusing the api. I would not be shocked if they calculated bandwidth costs of spamming Twitter, and putting an order of magnitude prohibitive price on it.
Same for transferring accounts to a different country. Can’t be done according to their useless help line. Has to be closed and reopened under a different email addr according to them
> It’s genuinely amazing and saddening how many people want to see Musk fail.

I think that among Musk's "haters" (I include myself in that group) are a lot of people who at one time or another had faith in the things Musk was saying but then saw him fail to deliver... again, and again, and again. If the average person did this for the better part of decade there would be consequences. However, Musk has been able to skate by on a Tony Stark-like perception of himself and continues to elicit an unreasonably credulous response from his fans and the media.

So I think "wanting to see him fail" is a combination of skepticism - since he has a long track record of over promising and way under delivering - as well as perhaps a desire for Musk to reap some kind of consequences for talking out his ass for so long.
indeed, and based on what I've seen so far, I don't believe Musk is looking to position Twitter as an innovative company going forward

Traack, save, share, and invest your money. one app for all
Managing your finances regularly is hard and frustrating. Gaining insights and taking action on top of that is even harder and more frustrating. Common culprits? Overwhelming resources, finance is boring to some, so many things to do, so many apps, so many expenses, and it is part of your daily life - to name a few. Phew. These constant interruptions suck hours out of the schedule or just tire your mind on those tax filing days.

What if a tool helps you overcome all these obstacles? A tool that brings all your finances under one roof so that you can manage your finance and get data out of it that is easy to understand. No more jargon, and over-complicated, boring UI. A modern, minimal finance app that lets you automate almost everything related to your finance. No more multiple logins, no more sifting through a multitude of apps, and more importantly get on top of your finances using the power of automation and integration.

So the basic app can be divided into four major categories:
1. track finances
a. automatic tracking of finances.
b. make payments, pay bills, and transfer money, all with automatic tracking.
c. finance dashboards to know all your income, savings, investments, and expenses.
d. suggestions based on the user’s spending behavior to help them make better financial decisions.
e. all-new budgeting model integrated with other features of the app like tracking and savings.
f. track all your accounts be it your be it your bank accounts, credit cards, app wallets, or crypto.

2. save for the future
a. essential savings (retirement, emergency - rainy day funds, etc.)
b. saving for dreams & occasions (aka bucket list)
c. invest in different savings schemes and get returns on dream buys/savings

3. share expenses with friends and family
a. share your transactions with friends and family.
b. settle dues with friends and family.
c. automatic debit of amount based on each individual’s share.
d. get your individual share of expenses done with friends automatically accounted into your personal financial data.
e. manage your personal and shared subscriptions and buy subscriptions from our marketplace.

4. invest and track their investments.
a. automatic tracking of all investments (equity, MFs, index funds).
b. make investments from the app by integrating their existing broker accounts and tracking them in real-time.
and much more.

Taxes in the USA are often just as high (remember to add in state and local taxes for an apples to apples comparison with European countries). And for that you get no "socialism" -- no healthcare until you're old, for example.
This but also: big players swallow smaller players until only big players are left due to "eat or be eaten" dynamics. Management wants to save their asses.

Then when there is no threatening bigger fish anymore, management is incentivised to make a mark some other way, and thus they start to battle inefficiencies which have inevitably built up and split the company.
This campus is near me but very well hidden and one day I stumbled onto it by making a wrong turn. It's an enormous and impressive piece of architecture made of stacking blocks of glass and steel. It's not shown well in the photo. Since the article is paywalled, that's the most interesting takeaway.

> Anyone want to make predictions about the state of Twitter in a few years?

Myspace still exists in some form.
> You take over a company that was full of bad behaving managers and employees.

Is one week of ownership enough to actually understand this and identify those people?

It seems they had a preconceived notion of how much revenue the business should have per employee, and that’s a key driver of this: https://mobile.twitter.com/sf_mills/status/15758387853712220...
I think the better heuristic for the state of the job market is job openings rather than headlines. There are still thousands of job openings you can find on LinkedIn. News outlets are built to grab attention and not help you build an accurate representation of reality. The news sounds alarming, but I think all it amounts to is the tech job market cooling off from being red hot, and big tech companies getting bloated because of inflated earnings during the pandemic. That being said, things can change quickly, just a year ago people were paying millions for jpegs on the internet lol.
They probably did some new features, updated UI, and.... new subscription model.
They can always move back in with their parents, or worst case get a plot of land and start subsistence farming.
Pretty significant salve. I imagine the buyout netted most employees with stock hundreds of thousands of dollars.
These people on YouTube are in the business of selling themselves. I don't mean selling themselves as one might in a job interview, I mean the end-product of what they're selling is a personality cult. Like with any other cult, I find these people to be useless, dishonest, and predatory. They're selling things people want to hear. Once you have your cult (or audience, to be politically correct), you could sell them anything from equity in your "business", a crappy HTML course, to your bathwater.

It's like the Forbes 30 under 30. Most people on that list have tons of press, a company or project or two under their belt that they're ostensibly always working on, but they don't actually do anything useful; related further reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21082523 - "Forbes 30 under 30 hustle". Top comment says it pretty well.
I think you'll find your experience here is outdated. There are a few good tools for managing Linux systems - puppeteer is one. What sorry if features are you missing?

As for Samba, Gnome has good client built in to the file browser. But I'd have to ask why you're using Samba at all. There are much better network filesystems in the Linux world that don't come with all the legacy cruft and undocumented idiosyncrasies that are part of the SMB protocol. They're harder to set up on Windows, but that shouldn't be a problem if you standardize on Linux.
But I'm not speculating ;p I just wonder what arguments could be. "it depends" is generally unuseful for particular context, I interpret it as blank statement.

What I'd expect is .. oh those mostly write libs and frameworks so it's not good fit for that, but then .. well the world of software is compose of libraries.

Public discussion is good! I think that's the point of Ask HN.
Thank God for these advertisers. Twitter is very powerful — demagogues can use it to subvert democracy, and repressed peoples can use it to start revolutions. To have this service by controlled by one person — no board and no shareholders to answer to — is to put too much power in the hands of one person. And Musk has proved himself to be unworthy of wielding such power (for example, by tweeting a link to a conspiracy theory on Pelosi). If these advertisers can provide checks and balances on Musk's power, I won't be one to complain about that.
There's a way to bring stuff like this up on HN that won't result in...well, you see the replies. Yes he is a bigot, and I know this from reading his own comments (not from hearsay as his defenders like to assume), but even as The Choir I find this comment a bit unhelpful. It's a one-liner and a link. Not even with an anchor to the part of the wiki that addresses this.

Companies need to hire after layoffs because some people they did not intend to lay off may leave and the people who they laid off may not be fitting to replace them.

We’re the richest country in the world and yet that lasting prosperity only seems to exist for a few. Maybe we’re going about this wrong. Maybe being heartless and coldly efficient doesn’t create lasting prosperity.

This was a while ago, so maybe it was the four digits and not the CVV for me as we? Not sure, but I do recall that the card was waaaaay expired (as in, a decade ago) and it took me a while to figure out what card they were even referring to.
Anyone know what that screen is? I don’t see a link in the article
"It isn't affecting me so it doesn't exist" is a fairly elementary mistake, yeah?
Me, too. Although in my case, my consumption of legitimate books usually goes up because I'd get so irritated by the typos in the Z-lib copy that, if the book was interesting, I'd eventually go buy it from a legitimate source just so I could have a properly formatted copy.

It's weird how many I've grabbed look like they were native EPUBs at first glance, but the repeated typos that no human would make betrays that they were sourced from OCRs.
My guesses: Some sort of collaboration and UI focussed features to compete with Figma, maybe even an online version, probably paired with a subscription model of some sorts, and a video/animation app.

Right - the most important thing about OODA is realising that OODA itself can be an anti-pattern, and really you should be aiming to attack the enemy's OODA, not worrying about your OODA so much.

Has anyone else seen the animation of the two fists rhythmically striking each other at the same time, until one side accelerates their loop and strikes the enemy when they're not prepared?

'Shatter the enemy's cohesion and will to fight by getting inside their OODA loop' - that's the one-sentence summary of contemporary military thinking.
I don’t think that’s true. Twitter is/was the only remaining news medium where experts had a voice. During the pandemic doctors and infectious diseases experts were using it to call or government blow hards. Now that’s going to die as well and we may return to complete darkness.

> you would have at least 1 month, more likely 3 month, prior notice to just being kicked out

At this point we have no idea what kind of severance package Twitter will be offering. I think it's likely that what you're saying is pretty much what they're going to wind up with - that is, Twitter will push them out the door, but with a check equivalent to something like 60 days of pay plus like continuation of benefits. Of course, I don't know this for sure, but neither do you, so there's no point in condemning or praising them yet.

Advertising that is partially powered by Microsoft. Yes, Netflix is selling audience data.
I mean this guy as well as a bunch of people on Twitter who have been clout chasing ambulance chasers, running over the truth to chase a story.

The formula is this:
1. Create an helpful explainer thread to explain some crisis (ex-post)

2. Start to make vague predictions about relatively easy to predict things (like that Celsius is going to go down, a couple days before it technically goes down).

3. Refer your readers back to your foresightedness

4. Get extremely excited as you receive DMs from people to check out x or y.

5. Lock your eyes on a juicy new company and start to make unfounded claims about said company, referring to a sole rando as a “source” (eg Nexo is insolvent!)

6. Create an expose on your new target, run shoddy analysis based on no actual data, and throw it into a larger conspiratorial framework that starts to implicate other actors.

7. All the while, build a captive audience who doesn’t know the better and eventually use that audience to run ads or to pay for your newsletter.

8. They can run this affinity scam because 1. What they say is not falsifiable, 2. you have an infinite timescale for which to be correct about any one company going bankrupt, 3. there are people out there who are earnestly trying to learn about the market and don’t know who to turn to, and 4. if you’re wrong, you’re not accountable to your actions because there was never any actual money on the line.

There are serious issues in the industry, do not get me wrong. It’s kind of messed up that people who have no connections have to look into the void and decide whether they’re going to trust an internet rando or nobody at all. Disclosures need to be better. But the people writing these sensationalist pieces are part of the problem and not the solution.
The materials and workmanship in a Forerunner 955 are almost the same as those in a Forerunner 255.

What the argument misses / why FTT is different than Terra

1) Alameda Research owns FTX, one of the largest and arguably most important crypto exchanges.

2) FTX offers fee discounts to FTT-stakers and additional discounts if you pay in FTT. [0]

3) Trading volume on FTX thus creates an organic demand cycle for FTT. The large firms will buy, stake, and then continuously refresh their supply.

4) The vast majority of the volume at FTT will be in margined accounts at FTX. I am uncertain if the volume analysis would capture FTT movements in (3).

Now, there's clearly financial alchemy going (giving away real economic value to boost an asset that you can then get leverage on) but that'd be better for Matt Levine or someone to flesh out.

My tips for you are to find a problem you find interesting and to create a solution for it with your choose language.
I didn’t say that LOC is the metric.

My point is that if your productivity can be easily measured by LOC, then don’t tell me that LOC is a bad metric.

If your duties are mentoring, show me the meetings you had, the action items from those meetings, and what changed as a result. Nearly every job’s productivity can be showed in a pretty simple way. It’s the people who argue that their contribution can’t be simply shown that are often not that productive.
It is guaraneed to be less value in 20-30 years, because Germany's pensions are transferred directly from the pension fee deducted from salary of employees. And since in 20-30 years you will have a totally diffeerent ratio of number of employees vs. pensioners, the cake will be smaller and will have to be distributed to more people. No matter how inflation or anything works out in future, pensioners will then have less than pensioners now, who more or less live in paradise.
What laid the basis for Indo-Mauritians population (majority of extant population) largely emigrated to there subsequent to the abolition of slavery. Over simplification of what were undoubtable moral affronts doesn't help a rational view of history.

Franco-Mauritians still indeed exist in small but wealthy numbers.

> Making a claim that all Europeans have a better claim to Mauritius than the people and the descendants of the people who lived there

I'm saying in linear time they indeed have an earlier claim. I say it because the term in relation to the relocated people of Chagos is often that they are "indigenous". Which isn't true

Something else that tends to change around the 10 year mark is that if you prefer to continue your career with IC roles then the people interviewing and making hiring decisions will often be younger and less experienced than you. Obviously at good employers that makes no difference but ageism is certainly a factor in this industry. It's not the years of experience that are losing those jobs, it's just the years.
