I thought it would use a service similar to this from Canada Post [1]. Obviously would only work for Canada, but I'm sure many other countries have a similar service. People will balk at the in-person side of things, but it would create a safer service if your real identify was verified. For users, not wanting to use their real name, perhaps they could opt into a low tier service with a different badge.

I know there are many online services providing a similar service, not sure how secure they are, but obviously another option.

Initializing global, static state isn't simple at all -- C++ is a prime example for how a bad design for static initializers can go horribly wrong.

At the very least, you need some sort of locking mechanism to deal with the potential issue where multiple threads try to initialize the variable concurrently. And you need some poisoning mechanism to prevent panics and reentrancy during initialization. Rust makes you realize "oh, yeah, I need to think about these too".

In any case, OnceCell is a very reasonable way to do this and is on track for stabilization.
> TC will probably be quite a bit lower than 2021 offers

I mean, if nominal TC is lower, then you're not "desperate to hire". You're not going to woo over someone offering them less TC than their current position, and most of us that are probably ready for a switch are looking to fill a 10% gap in real TC caused by the economy. Just like my landlord says "the economy" and then raises prices faster than CPI, so too am I going to be adjusting my expectations on the real value of offers made.

But you certainly have to come in above BATNA.

> We estimated extra myocarditis events to be between 1 and 10 per million persons in the month following vaccination, which was substantially lower than the 40 extra events per million persons observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

and they include a brief literature review:

> Our findings are consistent with those from a case-control study of 884,828 persons receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine in Israel21. That study observed an association with myocarditis in the 42 days following vaccination (risk ratio of 3.24), but no association with pericarditis or cardiac arrhythmia. Two further studies from Israel add to our observations by providing clinical review to ensure robust case ascertainment22 and reporting investigations and outcomes in individual patients with myocarditis following the BNT162b2 vaccine23. Witberg et al.21,22 observed a small excess in events 3–5 days following the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine, but most were mild presentations and just one classified as fulminant22. Mevorach et al. observed an incidence ratio of 5.34 for myocarditis in 5,442,696 persons following BNT162b2, although this was attenuated when restricted to the 136 definite and probable cases of myocarditis23. Risk of myocarditis was restricted to males under the age of 40 years and only observed following the second dose. Similarly, two studies from the United States have reported an incident rate ratio of 2.7 for myocarditis in the 10 days following the second dose of both mRNA vaccines24 and an estimated 6.3 and 10.1 extra cases per million doses in the 1- to 21-day period following the first and second dose of both mRNA vaccines, respectively, in those younger than 40 years25.

And conclude:

> In summary, this population-based study quantifies for the first time the risk of several rare cardiac adverse events associated with three COVID-19 vaccines as well as SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 in adults was associated with a small increase in the risk of myocarditis within a week of receiving the first dose of both adenovirus and mRNA vaccines, and after the second dose of both mRNA vaccines. By contrast, SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a substantial increase in the risk of hospitalization or death from myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia.
I read the blog from time to time. I really liked his posts on Aggregation Theory (https://stratechery.com/2022/spotify-netflix-and-aggregation...).

As someone who's always been making stuff in a bootstrapped way, it gives me a different perspective on how to think about what I'm making, and how I could position what I'm doing to others (customers, friends; not necessarily investors).

I'm in the academia / biotech / clinical tech space, and Ben's level of "academicking" is refreshingly to the point compared to how other people in this space write and publish.

The central question here is "what is money". The general argument you are laying out is not some "crackpot theory", it is one alternative of how you can conceive of money. And in fact that conception of money is the one which has been dominant throughout nearly all of history.
If you think of coins in history, they were valuable because they contained valuable materials, they had inherent value.
This concept of a "gold coin", which is valuable as a piece of gold, translated into paper money as a piece of paper representing the inherent value of that piece of gold.

This is quite different to the modern conception of money which does not represent anything besides itself. The reason a banknote is valuable is not because it represents something actually valuable, but because the government enforces it as a means of exchange and you are thus able to use it to purchase goods and services.

None of these theories are "wrong" or "absurd", they are both valid ways to look at money.
The reason people care is because in one scenario the government clearly has more control over it, if you imagine yourself as the central bank of the roman replublic, the only way you can create new gold coins is by actually acquiring gold to make them. You can inflate the currency by reducing the amount of gold in a coin, but this obviously does not affect the gold value in already existing coins.
With modern currencies things look very different. Creating new money is trivial, the government can create it from thin air. And thus the government has to be far more responsible with its greater power.

The whole thing gets infinitely more complex, but at the core is a debate about the question of what money actually is.
Once you're a part of the club it's dramatically easier to get a job. A year and change ago I made the move into a legit tech company. I think it took me 50ish applications to get that one offer. That job was not meant to be and I went looking after a few months. With just that brief stint I applied to like 10 places, got some level interest from all of them, and ended up with an offer.

> Without networking, your chances of landing the kind of job you _really_ want are vanishingly close to zero

Just to offer an anecdotal counterpoint: I switched companies 3 times in the last 4-5 years. Went from enterprise -> local start up -> big tech -> bay area start up. None of those jobs, including the enterprise gig where I got my start, required me to leverage my network.

I don't doubt it's much easier when you have people that can vouch for you, but "vanishingly close to zero" is not the experience I've had. And no, I didn't have to send out 200+ resumes.
The SEC definitely targets sudden, surprising stock moves, and looks for people who profited off them. (This is why one of Matt Levine's tongue-in-cheek 'rules for insider trading- this is not legal advice!' is never do it in short dated, out-of-the-money options!) I'm sure there are relatively sophisticated ways to exploit the market that the SEC probably won't catch (that are also more sophisticated than I understand), but now you need to have a sophisticated understanding of the market, and of cybersecurity fraud (to beat Twitters payments verification), and naturally maintain flawless opsec on both throughout. Harder and harder to do.

That still works on Google. You can put it anywhere in the query. The "-" is a negation operator that tells the engine to exclude results containing the following word.

They've actually apparently introduced a few new operators since the old days, which I found surprising. For example, $ for prices, # for hashtags, and .. for ranges of numbers. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en
It is frustrating. It is clear that people won't sacrifice convenience, thus they will sacrifice their future. No, a "dystopian future" does not await us, it is already dystopian. But big-tech controlled social media is the only thing that most people understand of "the internet". And the discourse there is limited to the triviliaties of daily life, and then these triviliates are fed into the surveillance-capitalist machine.
Most likely not an intentional removal; several Twitter microservices have been broken since the massive org change.

They stopped recommending further boosters to younger people after the 1st booster. These 50+ or 65+ only recommendations are rather recent. That's all I'm saying. You would need to account only from the 2nd booster onwards basically.

Perhaps, if speeding in this case was measured on a continuum. If you look at it as a binary choice, either someone is speeding or not, you can conclude that people going over the speed limit are indeed still speeding.
> we tend not to have things like stop losses I think those aren't necessarily great risk management tool

It seems to me that you need to have a stop loss to prevent blowing up when you have leverage. This sounds like one of those strategies that might work most of the time, but will eventually lead to bankruptcy, like picking up pennies in front of a bulldozer.

I haven't read Mark Spitznagel's latest book, but it's all about problems like this.

It also suggests that this hedge fund was run by amateurs that hadn't learnt the lessons of other overleveraged funds like LTCM.
Somehow reminds me of those "free beer tomorrow" signs.

You might be able to do something with a chain or restaurant that is on both ends, a little coin they can take from one to the other if they're driving all the way.
The problem field is slighty different: if your income is constrained and you are generally in good health you are going to choose a low premium plan with consequent higher deductible. When it's your turn to end up in hospital you get to pay up to the (substantial for you) out-of-pocket limit, even though you belong to the demographic that cannot afford it and Obamacare was sold to you as making healthcare affordable and accessible.

Obama was a sellout.

reading the tidal wave memo i linked, it sounds like microsoft just didn't take software seriously unless it was a commercial product

in the 'server' category the competitors they were talking about for http servers were bsd (which i think means bsd/os from bsdi, because they're talking about it as if it were a company), sun, netscape, lotus, novell, and at&t

linux, freebsd, and ncsa httpd were not even on their radar, even though yahoo was, and yahoo was mostly running on freebsd at that point iirc

let me remind you that we're talking about may 01995, not 01992. in the first netcraft server survey that july https://news.netcraft.com/archives/1996/08/01/the_first_year... they found 57% of the 18957 web servers were running ncsa httpd and 20% were running cern httpd. apache had started a few months ago and was only running on 658 servers at that point so it's not surprising it wasn't on their radar

i had friends and family who'd been running linux since 01992 and who had used it to set up isps and email setups and stuff, its capabilities were leaps and bounds ahead of microsoft's products at the time if you could get it working

Should be: "An individual speed trap has no long-term effect on speeding: anecdote".
However, enforcement as a whole certainly has an effect on the behavior or drivers.
There are 5 reports of death following Covid-19 vaccination in VAERS for children 0.5-5, and ‘1.6 million US children ages 6 months-4 years have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine’ as of 11-2-22. This is 3.125 deaths per million, and VAERS notoriously undercounts.

There are 31 reports of death following Covid-19 vaccination for children 5-12, and ‘10.9 million US children ages 5-11 have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine’ as of 11-2-22. This is 2.84 deaths per million. Again, VAERS notoriously undercounts.

I understand where you're coming from, I really do. It's rough to give up personal liberties for the "greater good", even though we already do on a daily basis. You can't run red light, you can't dodge taxes, ...

I don't think there was much malice in these new COVID-related laws. Sure there was some cronyism for financial gain in their execution, but that's not the point. I think they were motivated by an seemingly ever-increasing aversion to any form of risk and responsibility, both on governmental as well as societal level.

I'd love to understand and internally evaluate every law and practice that is put upon me, take my own responsibilities based on a thorough understanding of the issue. However, the world has grown too complex for any individual to understand why we are supposed to do the things that we are told to. It has become impossible to even be aware of every law.

I don't know what the "solution" to this extreme risk aversion is. I wonder if there is some historical precedent of a society undergoing the same tendencies and how that eventually got solved. Or didn't.
Fair enough, I know very little about Jane Street other than where they are located and that I'd never qualify to work there.
At least in Sweden the policy regarding booster after the 3rd shot has changed [1]:

> Adults

> For adults aged 18–64, the recommendation for three doses of the vaccinate remains in force. But anyone who wants to receive an additional booster dose, dose 4, may do so in the autumn of 2022.
65 plus and risk groups

> An additional booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for the autumn and winter 2022/23 for adults aged 65 years or over, as well as people aged 18 or over who are in an at-risk group. This recommendation is valid from 1 September 2022 and covers everyone who is at an increased risk of serious Covid -19 disease.

I made 2 very small 3d "games" with Godot.

There are a lot of things to learn in Godot. I leaned mostly on their own documentation and maybe a few YT videos here and there for certain effects.

I would very much recommend 2d to start, there was a lot of fiddling with trigonometry to get the camera and things working in 3d. Really not hard but might be frustrating for a kid if they haven't been exposed to math like that yet.

Other than that, just get started. I would recommend finding examples of similar games before you start. For my second game I just took the FPS tutorial and hacked at it until it did what I wanted. Much easier than starting from scratch and lets you dip your toes into the concepts you need to while being able to ignore the rest for now.
The FTC would look at people who recently bought short term call options against Eli Lily stock and ask them questions. Pretty much the same playbook anytime bad news causes a stock price to go down. Matt Levine notes this as a common way people get caught doing insider trading each time it comes up.

It's normally combined with recorded IM conversations along the lines of "bro, I bought some short term chickens for Lli Eily. Let's make them CLUCK with this tweet." You call them chickens, or something similar, to try and fool the FTC. This is also a surprisingly common occurrence during insider trading investigations.

Same!

> Typically I'd say maxing out at 3-4 stories would get us to where we need to be, although certainly something like a hospital or special use building would/could be taller.

I think that will always exist. It may not (should not?) be a hard cap in the core of major metros in my opinion. I think folks who want to live in 3-4 story max. houses should live in smaller towns (with high-speed rail access to major metros) rather than artificially constraining the development of major metros where the demand for more density exists.

A good example would be Paris and Riems. 45m away by TGV from downtown Paris but a completely different approach to development. Or similarly Hong Kong / Kowloon vs. the New Territories.
Yeah I mentioned US for that reason. If you include the Indian outsourcing shops then clearly there would be numerous. Honesty though calling them developers is a bit too much. Most of them are used as benchwarmers to inflate numbers and get deals.

Have you studied Nathan Latka's YouTube channel[1]? It might be interesting to see all of the different "products" he has tried to get more ideas.

Main distribution channel - Quick interviews with founders with a lot of metrics and details.

Main products:

- Founders Path - Micro VC

- GetLatka.com SaaS Database - Free (Was paid for years)

YouTube content iterations:

- Years ago he had "Shark tank for Startups"

- Detailed 1:1 founder interviews

- Newish - Founderpath Conference talks

Other distribution channels:

* He appears on mainstream media (Finance news) to give contrarian startup guy opinion

* He wrote a book

* Appearing on podcasts

For several years he spent something like 10 hours a day interviewing founder's one after another. Insane hustle. No break between interviews. Content pipeline to edit and publish interviews.
