As a kid I felt my family was “poor”. My uncles and aunts had bigger and nicer houses/cars than my parents. My cousins had really cool toys and they rarely got a no when they wanted an expensive candy. My foolish child mind saw all that and thought we were “poor”. What I didn’t know was that my parents had bigger salaries than their relatives. They just didn’t give a damn about expensive stuff.

Later in life the same relatives struggled really bad when their incomes decreased, and they weren’t able to afford the lifestyle they were used to.

My family in the other hand never really went through economic struggle (at least it was not apparent to me and my siblings) even when my father lost his job and took him 6 months to get a new one.

My parents now live in a really nice house but they still have the ugliest and oldest cars ever lol. But that always reminds me to not fall for expensive stuff just because I can afford it.
It works. Used it just 1 hour ago last time.

NYT, and left in general, don’t like the tech that much. It creates inequality, with value going to a small group of talented people. They have responded with regulations, taxation, painting the tech in media in bad ways, highlighting its negative consequences, etc.

Proof of Assets is valid technically speaking but it's worthless without proof of liabilities which cannot be possibly verified

In theory each and every Bitmex user should get in a telegram/slack channel and self-declare the amount they have on BitMex and finally you can add up and see if the liabilities match or exceed the assets.

It's hard to find contemporaneous evidence, because it was apparently revealed by an internal company focus group, but here's [0] the page from the company themselves with the claim.

It wasn't revealed at all until the founder's memoirs in 2007, and it wasn't reported widely until this [1] 2014 article.

This is the way. It's even easier if you just winget install RedHat.Podman - that'll give you a tiny Fedora image where "docker" (podman) just works straight out of the box. No need to worry about getting iptables-legacy packages for your WSL distribution or whatever. It's so simple and lightweight, it feels like a much better solution than anything Docker ever did for Windows.
Oh hi! Thanks for your GSI!

Currently on Pixel 6a but before was on Xiaomi Mi A3 -- laurel_sprout. I largely ignored GSI because I assumed most important things were broken and tried to focus on a non-GSI ROM (and later gave up). (Just rechecked now and it requires some random files stored on random Google Drives so I ignore them).

Anyway I explored your work for some time and it seemed very cool, so thanks for it!
I'm not saying that Fody's model is superior to selling retail software, if what you are in the business of doing is selling retail software. I'm saying that it's superior to giving up on open source monetization if what you're in the business of doing is open source.

As the husband of a nurse who left the profession ~a year pre pandemic, it's not entirely that there aren't enough nurses. It's more that there are not enough nurses because healthcare administration tries to pile on too many patients, and too few CNAs. Nurses are treated like cannon fodder.

This will, indeed, lead to having open nursing positions, but may not be as indicative of a lack of nurses as you think. It's entirely likely that those 350 open positions are currently filled by "travel nurses", making 3-5x the base salary, in which case it's more a case of those 350 positions being for people looking to take drastic pay cuts.

It's a situation the healthcare industry has fostered and it's coming home to roost, meanwhile politicians are getting involved to try to cap the nurses salaries.

And I'd put a tenner on much of the problems being rooted in the undervaluing of women's work.

I agree that there's not any significantly better phone options, but no I would not place 100% of the blame on the robber. When we're talking about possessions, theft is a reasonably foreseeable consequence and not an outrageous action, so the owner can get a small slice of blame.
In the past year, I have worked with people making six figures in technical positions that know as much about computers as my grandmother. And I'm not exaggerating (and she's no Grace Hopper). Like, doesn't understand the basics of how a computer works, much less an operating system (and I don't mean the kernel, I mean like, what a shell is, how programs are executed, environment variables, file permissions, devices, local networking, local storage, symbolic links, user accounts, etc).

There is a sea of candidates who are both insanely ill-equipped, yet pass interviews regularly. I believe the competent candidate pool was probably exhausted 5 years ago, and businesses just kept hiring clueless people because they felt they had no choice. They aren't given enough user support and no training at all. As a result, employees are much less productive, struggling to do basic computing tasks when they were hired as technical people. And yet are payed vast sums by companies with more money than sense.

90% of my VR gaming is standing up. Resist, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Walking Dead, Zombieland, Shadow point, Until You Fall, Racket NX, and Kingspray are all 'stand and move around' games for me.

I feel like your statement is reversed: flat-screen gaming suffers from having a stationary gamer. VR is freeing, assuming you have an area to move around in. Until You Fall is pretty wild when you have a 15x15 space to play in.

One wonders how much the original could have been improved by starting with that, and then testing. Of course a senior designer should get close to ideal, but taking a good start and then testing normally reveals minor flaws.
Yep. The majority of startups in biotech use python mainly because it is much easier to find python programmers. Many of them have messy code base. They could probably do much better with Java IMHO.
the transaction fees, the verification and throughput limitations are fundamental technical tradeoffs required for a truly decentralised store of value.

The people and technologies claiming to have "fixed" or "improved" upon bitcoin are often making different trade offs they lie about. This is why I like solana, they make no pretence of being decentralised.

btw fiat is 1000x worse. You don't see it on the news because you're forced through coercen to bail out & insure these bad actors. The current US bank reserve requirement is 10%.. the only reason there isn't a bank run is FDIC. The whole thing is an incestious mess that creates our current world of cantillionaires..
I looked into all of this, and still have a use case where it doesn't quite work out as well as it could with Java.

I can almost make it work with some pretty aggressive hackarounds, such as subdividing my service into multiple, smaller processes that each operate w/ workstation GC mode. GC runs pretty fast when object count is reasonable. Something like 1 process per latency-sensitive client is where I am at with .NET right now.
I wonder how this works? How many characters can I copy before it's considered copyrighted?

One can very persuasively argue that AVIF is better on the web; for 99,999% cases used in the wild it will be better. Yes, some marginal cases are better handled by another formats, it is nothing unheard of.

For authoring, .psd, .afphoto or whatever is the native format of the used app will be used.
This isn't really that bad. Nobody gives a shit about Secure Boot anyways because all it does is let Microsoft dictate what will and won't run on your PC, and I take the liberty of disabling it on all of my PCs and my families.
I agree with that, but mind you there are two kinds of job numbers. The household survey numbers and the official ones which mysteriously diverge from the survey before elections, but otherwise track nicely. There's some two million jobs that only exist on paper to benefit the incumbent government. This anomaly appears regardless of which party is in power.

I think this misunderstands the point of a budget.
A budget is not primarily designed to develop a growing savings account, tho that is a very good side effect.

A budget is designed so that when the rent becomes due on the 29th, or you are hungry and you want want to consume food on the day before your paycheck comes in, you don't discover you have $2.50 to your name.

You could put money aside for food every day, and for rent, and utility, as well, and that would be called a budget. IN fact just paying yourself first, is just a really simplistic underdeveloped budget.
Sadly, it is true. The chain was A&W:

You can if you are quick.
Same reason they are in many countries.

Right now, most people are just surviving with assets, mortgages, vehicles, and careers they already have. Starting out though, without these things, is very difficult.

Starting out even 5 years ago was easier. Lower used car prices, lower education costs, and now (for the US) a chance for loan forgiveness, which nobody entering college next year will get. It just gets harder and harder to stand up, to where you just end up questioning why even trying.

Why save $5K as a young man when, due to two years of inflation, you are hardly closer to affording that car than you were when you started?
> Although more unmarried men could stir up political trouble

I always find something a little dark about this argument against letting men be single, and against practices like polygamy with some men having multiple wives and others not having wives.

There's a kind of 'or else...' vibe to it. As if some people think it's women's job to marry men to stop them being a menace to society.

Ironically for stuff like bank fees they require a minimum balance, so you're paying fees because you can't save as much and can't save as much because you're paying fees.
Java has a bad reputation for being bloated and/or slow. I find Java and Go to be fairly similar (both GC'd, both fairly high performance, both statically typed), and yet Go has a reputation for being compact and fast.

Java isn't particularly fun or thrilling to write. If you're a founding CTO or a founding team of engineers, of course you're going to choose something more "interesting" for a greenfield project.

Java isn't as quick and dirty as other languages. I think this almost fully explains the prevalence of node, because after being stuck in the node ecosystem for two years, I truly can't imagine why anyone would choose to build anything substantial in node.
Or clearer still "The increase is smaller than expected."

The headline inflation number is not at all intended to state the impact of anything. It's an aggregate number used as an indicator to inform macro policy. BLS reports all of the granular data points that roll up to the headline number. Your personal experience will absolutely never be accurately reflected in a single number for the nation. People hone in on food and energy because they buy them frequently and demand is inelastic, but they are by far the most volatile and can be affected by all sorts of heterogeneous inputs. National numbers will be heavily impacted by infrequent, larger purchases like housing and cars and other durable goods. The affects of inflation can hit certain verticals harder or softer. They can also be heavily regional. They can affect suburbs differently than urban residents (gas in particular doesn't affect subway riders).

Go click through the BLS site for CPI reporting: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/
Interesting theory. I’ve read speculation that we may get an austere, conservative (perhaps pious) generation this century, based on cases of declining empire like Rome and Sweden. There are counter-examples as well.

Mac seems mote secure in sleep:

"If your Mac has the T2 Security Chip (recent Intel-based Macs) or uses an Apple silicon chip (M1 family and future), security is significantly improved. The Secure Enclave in both systems uses encrypted memory, and has exclusive control over FileVault keys. The Intel CPU or the Application processor (M1) never sees the keys, and they are never stored in regular (unencrypted) RAM. Due to this, an attacker would only be able to extract encrypted keys (which can't be decrypted), and only if the system failed to prevent the DMA attack in the first place. These protections make it a lot safer to leave your Mac asleep."

One thing at play is there’s likely a large imbalance with the male/female ratios — lots more single men than women under 50. Same in the US, specifically on the west coast cities.
It helps to study the "lying flat" (also Tang ping and 躺平) movement as well.
The clearance rates on violent crimes in most major cities in the US is abysmally low, as low as 1 in 10 in some places. So yeah a 10% chance of getting caught is a poor deterrent.
I can see Arc somewhat doing this with their "boosts" feature. I imagine they will eventually have something like a marketplace for these, e.g. youtube/twitter without the distracting sidebars.

But to your point the core browsing experience would remain the same. Would be cool if they opened that up to variability though.
this is a 'haha Americans so dumb' myth that's been blown up - it's the result of a NY Times article that outline a private restaurant chain focus group result.

So tldr; some people in a private focus group questioned the value of a 1/3 pound burger over the same priced 1/4 pound burger. It's not indicative of any system numerical illiteracy.

I will add there were no actual data released - it's solely based on an anecdote from a A&W restaurant executive.

I don't completely disagree with your point, but for one's clinical regulatory strategy, perhaps "trial and error" isn't the best branding to appeal to investigators, patients, regulators or investors.

>anyone you know on a fixed income what this is doing to their retirement

I don't know any retireees on a fixed income. They all get Social Security, which is not fixed. And if they have any signifcant savings, those interest rates are also not fixed, and have been rising a lot recently (recently advertised CD rates at 3-4% are common where I live).

I have family looking to become a doctor in Canada, a country desperate for doctors.

There is so much demand to get into the limited slots you can have a near-perfect score and still not get admitted.

Canada's solution to this problem? Introduce a new test (CASPER) to further limit those who can apply.

One of my daughters friends scored very well on the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) but failed CASPER (????).

These systems seemed "rigged" to artificially limit supply and drive up wages.

She's now looking to the US so in the end, does Canada win by sending its medical professionals elsewhere?

The unions are great, and had a place but now they work against the public's best interest by limiting supply to drive up wages. Cant be a nurse in Canada without joining the union.

Everyone knows Salary is driven by salary/demand. Limit the supply what happens the price?
I wrote this thing using Python years ago

https://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/

I am thinking of firming it up to make something general for long-term use against RSS feeds. I have a blast writing websockets-based applications w/ asyncio in Python for my own personal use but I'd be loathe to put one of those where they get used heavily. On the other hand I have a lot of faith in the ability of Java-based servers that take heavy hits because I've done it for years.

That logistic regression classifier would be easy to port to Java but if I used Python it would be easy to add new algorithms, particularly I want to add a dimension reducer (papers I read suggest it would cut the error rate in half) and a clustering engine, with scikit-learn I get a good choice of high-performance and tested algos. On the other hand, I find it easy to write state-machine code, parsers and such in Java that chew efficiently through large volumes of text.
