> Any single catastrophic event can end your economic security.

This quote and your comment as a whole sum it perfectly, imo.

We used to have stronger family/friend connections that were very helpful for times like these, i.e. for when catastrophic events were happening. Nowadays we're most probably living hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away from our very close family, and not sure about other HN-ers, but I personally would feel very uncomfortable if I were forced to ask for some financial help from my very close friends, as I think they would turn me down.

Again, that wasn't always the case. One could "pass" the kids to said kids' grand-parents for a while, because most probably they were living in the same town/village, and the same goes for sharing economic resources in times of need with friends. Now we're into all this alone.
this is false btw. the UK is not a money laundering world leader. not even close.

on the other hand the UK is the best example of how company creation should happen. everyone should follow them.
all digital, 5 mins to setup.

money laundering is a separate issue to company formation.
Corporate greenwashing is just getting funnier and funnier.
So-called crypto "exchanges" often function as a mix of exchange, broker-deal and bank.
In the developed world there are so many industries that pay well screaming for more workers. Go on any job board and you can see this.

The problem is people get some random "lifestyle" degree (like in Classics say) and then say "why can't I get a job with this?". Maybe because the modern economy has very limited demand for archaeologists?

But if you learn virtually any trade, anything to do with IT, many forms of social work/healthcare, many parts of accounting/bookkeeping, then a middle class job is possible.

The problem is then you start getting all these qualifications to why that isn't the "right" job they want. Maybe you need to do physical work, or work outside, or work with computers/software, or work with numbers, or work somewhere dirty, or work outside a global city, or work with sick people, or join the military etc. And then suddenly it isn't a "good job" anymore.

Being a university graduate means so little these days because you can graduate in so many things that should basically be (or are) hobbies. There is no demand from customers, business, government for any of these "qualifications" so all people end up with is an inflated ego and debt.
Then we should make the opposite true as well, ie PG calling envy the only reason domain experts could be pessimistic about a future technology. He was too arrogant in those words such that when it failed, he should rightly be denigrated for his hubris.

Oooh. Could this be used to fight against smartphone vendors that do not allow unlocking bootloaders - or trip permanent fuses like Samsung does?
If you have more than a couple (I assume this means >2) years of living expenses in the bank then you have nothing to worry about. If you lose your job do you realistically think it will take more than two years of interviewing to find another?
Those things don't seem to be e-ink displays, which (imo) makes a huge difference in applications like this.
The best you can do is set up some financial reserves, revise your spending and accept that life is a series of uncertainties.

It sounds like you already covered the reserves, good. You should have at least a few months of emergency funds, especially with kids and family. Layoffs are not the only reason for these funds, you might get sick, have an accident, need to take care of someone etc etc.

Also take a look at your costs. Are there any unneeded expenses that you can cut, maybe temporarily? Do you really need Netflix, Spotify AND DisneyPlus right now? Cutting some expenses may not be THE definitive answer, but it gives you some sense of control and might help with anxiety.

And lastly, try to accept that life is somewhat random. There are lots of things you simply can't control. You can de-risk certain bad events, but there's never a 100% guarantee for anything. It took me a while to realize this, but once you're there you get much calmer :-)
I get the sentiment, but one thing that probably needs to be underlined here is that one only needs to face that complexity if you really want to, however. Otherwise you can just wrap everything in Arc, Cow and similar helpers and call it a day.

Even lazy Rust code can still be incredibly performant, testable and fault tolerant. The lower level you go, the more you need to know about Rust and how what it does maps to memory, because it is a systems programming language and if you wanna write the equivalent of a kernel in it you will need all power you can get. The point here however is: you rarely really need to go that deep if you are writing whatever you'd be writing in Go.
Honestly, the traditional art crowd isn't any less annoying then the NFT crowd. This pains me to say but maybe they are worse.

> What defi provides is completely useless in 99% of cases.

What DeFi provides are the foundations of a publicly verifiable financial system. So either you ascribe that financial systems are useless or that public verification is useless. For the first case I will refer you to the history of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the economic and welfare growth that it spurred, for the second one I will refer you to 2008 and what just happened with FTX.

> You need $4 to get a "loan" of $1 in DeFi. Who in the world needs such a loan?

Someone that needs 5 dollars? The specific numbers are irrelevant, in fact. They are just a consequence of whatever parameters are set to ensure the safety of the loan. If your question is why do we need to constraint in any margin collateral requirements, after everything that has happened during the last 20 years... I don't know what to say to you.
His flights say he took some days off...
> Regarding the language. The only thing you’re going to hear as a response to that entitlement: “this is Germany, we do this the German way”. I’m not German, just fyi… you know, when I arrived in the UK in 2006, I didn’t expect that everyone will explain to me things in Polish. I actually had to learn the language.

That's where he lost me and I stopped reading. It's funny that I only ever hear this comment about English. If the language barrier is that hard, then hire a translator to work with you.
Exactly. Now it just needs catchy name so vocal juniors have one word to refer to it - they currently know only 2 words for architecture - bad monolith and good micro services.
As much as I like some historical reference like the next person, I think this discussion here takes a wrong turn through comments like these, sarcastic or not. I think OP is free to criticize the process of registering a company, but should rather give suggestions to improve said process instead of ranting about the official language of a nation.

People are different, aren't they? On one side I have a friend living in Austria for about a decade now and he still complains that quite some information isn't available in English. He doesn't even see the irony as an Italian, makes no attempt to learn the official language (German) and continuously makes fun of any explanation I'm trying to give on why a specific German term would be used in a certain context. On the other hand there are people like me, who moved to Norway for about a year and frequently felt like shit that I didn't make a proper attempt to learn its official language (started a course there next to my study, but didn't finish it). I was amazed that every Norwegian I encountered was able to speak English on a very high level. Me not learning the official language, but still trying to achieve some kind of future there, really made me feel foreign and my failed attempt to learn that nations official language remained a lasting feeling of lost time. I would never consider to complain that some documents aren't available in English.
For most people making high wages in tech, I would guess that it's much easier to spend less than it is to make more. Not spending 100$ has the benefit that you'll have an "extra" 100$. When you make 100$ you have to split it with the tax man :)
This is a great approach. Planning out the worst case scenario is a great way to deal with rational anxiety.
I have found Apple's "Hide my Email" feature to be really nice for this stuff. It allows you to generate an unlimited number of unique email addresses that relay email to your registered one, without exposing the actual address. It then integrates natively with forms, so I pretty much use a unique email address for each service. Then if I ever get spammed, I can just disable the relay and poof.

If you ask me this, should just be standard.
So NYKNYC unless the company you send your crypto to is on some magical “whitelist”.

I know it’s a harsh take because when crypto companies aren’t failing and crypto is pumping no one notices or panics about all the liquidity issues occurring.

Still with all the dominoes that have fallen recently who knows how healthy/secure the companies on the whitelist are.
Take a deep breath.

You have multiple years of savings.
You have an in demand skill that won't go out of demand any time soon.
You have enough fundamentals of that skill so if you had to switch from one language to another it wouldn't be a huge stretch.
Sounds like you have yours and your wife's health.
Also sounds like you don't have to worry about immigration problems from losing your job (not on an H1B or some other work permit).

This is what helped me when I was feeling anxious about losing my job due to immigration issues in the USA.

1. I continued to keep in contact once every 3 months, just saying hi, to previous co-workers. It's a system I learned here: https://courses.jordanharbinger.com/courses/6-minute-network.... Literally just saying "hi" and not asking for anything. This means I always have a warm network of people who'll gladly send me a job in case anything ever were to go wrong.

2. Because of #1, I'd have an inbound interview probably once every 3-4 months I would take. Most of the time I'd turn down the job, but it helped me emotionally know "I got this".

3. I paid off all my debts, cut up all my credit cards, and stopped borrowing money from anyone for any reason. Ya I'm losing some arbitrage opportunities. I don't care. I'm optimizing for psychological comfort.

If you have skills and relationships you will _always_ make money. Full stop. A lot of engineers only focus on the skills. Keeping relationships is VERY easy. EVERYONE is bad as proactively reaching out and saying hi to people so if you JUST spend five minutes a day proactively saying hi people WILL remember you.

You don't need to make new relationships, you just need to nurture the ones you have.
Borrow checking is a good fit for datalog. And trait resolution is Prolog, though Rusty's backtracking makes it a worse fit for datalog than typeclasses in Haskell.
Do you have exmoles to support claim that there is no compatibility between versions of the same compiler? your linked pdf is from 2014, exact time when compilers stopped breaking things.

AFAIK MSVC compilers explicitly guarantee ABI compatibility since 2015 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-...

as for other platforms, all compilers adhere to Itanium ABI and didnt introduce breaking changes for many years now. Standard libraries, libc++ has explicit ABI guarantee as well (https://libcxx.llvm.org/DesignDocs/ABIVersioning.html).

Libstdc++ uses symbol versioning and only nasty thing happened to it was problem with std::string CoW decade ago, but even that was done neatly and in compatible manner https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_a...
Has anyone managed to get their/any BTC off Crypto.com in the last few hours? I got my ETH and some other tokens off easily enough but I've been waiting ~18 hours now for the BTC to arrive :s.
Business is not the only sector where language is such a hindrance. I am a foreigner and came to Germany to do a PhD, I work 60 hours per week for a miserable salary and I do not have the time nor energy to learn German after work. About half of my colleagues are international and in the same situation. If you want Germany to stay at the forefront you need people like us coming here and carrying your economy forward.

I feel my web experience is mostly bound by other browser things than JS. I wonder what would be the best way to profile this.
What people want from a UI library is to be able to use system components. For example, there should be a way to open the system color picker, to display a system data grid, system date picker, etc. It doesn’t need to be more than that.
That's pretty cool! How do you go about removing the details? Is it done in JavaScript before the screenshot is taken, or by post-processing the SVG?
Not sure how helpful it'll be at this stage, but I had a couple pieces of feedback:

- I really love all the historical examples in the booklet. It's great to see a project like this learning from past (which often doesn't happen in the cryptocurrency side of the "experiments in governance" space).

- The current UI makes it a bit too easy to publish a Rule, I think. There are a lot of "testing" entries in the library. Maybe change the primary button on https://communityrule.info/create/ to Preview, and then only show the publish button on the preview page?
A common theme in Charles dickens books is a character that cares so much about people in faraway lands that they completely neglect their family. Today with our understanding of mission colonialism these behaviors appear even worse.

On a personal level, my familial obligations supersede even local art charities and much less distant global health issues. Most EA people have enough instinctive moral behavior to avoid falling into a trap like SBF, but EA taken to its extreme clearly states that distance is not morally relevant.
For all the people boasting about how easily they can detect it: yes, you have to deeply look at possible artifacts (especially in teeth/ears) but sometimes it's not that easy and I'm pretty sure it would fool most of the population, especially if not giving a reference, real image on the side. Photoshopped images can also be spotted easily by keen eyes, but they still do their job, which is deceiving the majority.

Because it actually attempts a serious estimate of the man and artist, rather than simply saying how wonderful he was and we live in an age where that is considered very bad manners.

what is the benefit to leaving crypto in a wallet held by another party. I guess they could lower the transition fees when transferring from one wallet to another on their platform. and if you forget your password, they may make it easier to recover. but is that all the benefit?

You are talking about micro. I am talking about macro as I indicated in my first sentence. I am not interested in discussing anecdote. As someone who lives comfortably for now I can't imagine the new graduates are able to get a home, raising children. It's just too expensive. Majority of the ppl would live working poor no matter how much cost they cut.

Think about this simple question. Do you think the percentage of ppl are capable to become home owner are comparable to 50-60 years ago in America? Is the cost of living getting higher or lower?

This is pure speculation since I have no visibility into their inner workings, but it might just be possible that they would send a POST request on your behalf, at least to domains on some sort of a pre-approved list.

The screentime report was jarring for me as well. It sounds silly, but I used the parental control on my iphone to turn it «dumb».

I can still use the internet, but blocked most social media sites and apps, reddit/etc. My good friend has the passcode.

If I need them I can use my laptop/desktop, but it’s not as gratifying and right there. My screentime dropped by 4-5 hours per day, it’s insane. Now I get bored occasionally and (unintentionally) frustrated my phone can’t solve that, but I do read more, and work on more hobbies.

This is a bit like chess puzzles. When you know there’s some winning tactic, you’ll sit and look for it until you find it. But in most real positions in actual games you don’t know and sometimes have to trust your gut as to whether to spend time on the details. If you know one picture is fake you’ll find it. If it’s just a social media avatar, you’ll assume it’s a real person.

That said, even without looking deeply for weird smooshy patterns, inconsistent curves, lack of symmetry or nonsense clothing, the biggest giveaway is that most AIs are pretty bad a realistic lighting. I got most of these at a glance because it’s a very pronounced difference.

In "regular" regression, you have to come up with an input -> output equation. The regression only figures out the best parameters for it.

This might be difficult, especially if you can't visualize the data (many dimensions etc).

For example, a numeric regression for a1 * x1 + a2 * x2 + a3 = y can not fit a relationship like y = x1/x2.

In symbolic regression, the system can automatically discover equations also, not just coefficients.
Malta also has English as an official language.
Yes, Rust has very real unsoundness issues wrt. Pin<> and, more generally, interactions between unsafe and safe code. It's still nowhere near as complex as C++, which is a rather popular language nonetheless. Rust also has an editions system, so any such warts can be fixed whereas C++ is totally unfixable (other than via a clean start, see Carbon and Herb Sutter's new surface syntax).
