> And if you want security of annuity you have to pay for that too, plus pay for the insurance man's profits. I just did a quote to put specific numbers in, to get 80k on my 100k salary for a set period of 20 years, I'd need to pay 1.1 million. That's 11 years of salary needed after taxes. Possibly I could have it after 32 years.

The insurance company selling annuities and defined benefit pension plan sponsor selling annuities are doing the same thing. Although, based on history, the insurance company is subject to better regulation. Insurance company profit margins are ~5% at most, and I am sure DB pension plan management gets paid just the same. And it is all getting invested into the same equities and bonds.

The only difference is if you are a recipient of a taxpayer funded DB pension, then your DB plan sponsor has the power to increase taxes and will be more likely to stick around longer than a private company.

The reason that non taxpayer funded employers moved away from defined benefit pensions is because proper accounting made them too expensive. The old days of counting on explosive inherent growth due to everyone have 3+ kids is over.

The taxpayer funded DB pensions stick around because it remains politically possible to keep kicking the can to future taxpayers. The fact that the rules around taxpayer funded DB pensions are basically non existent and non taxpayer funded DB pensions are strict is all that needs to be said. Why would the same liabilities be allowed to be accounted for in different ways?

> So the actuary says the present value of those costs is 10 billion, maybe the fund has 9 billion, you have a 1 billion dollar liability. This can be gamed. But the actual costs for the next 30 years, based on actuarial assumptions and existing retirees, maybe are 18 billion in nominal dollars.

How can an actuary say present value of liabilities is $10B and also $18B?

Just turned 39 and I'd say my memory is sharper than it ever was, assuming that I'm in a sharp state of mind and not dozing off.

I think the secret is to keep your mind active - if you regularly try to remember stuff you haven't thought about it in a while, access to those memories becomes more readily available.

I still would never want it... but it's an interesting system.
> The gun accidentally discharged and both sides started firing.

Well it didn't exactly discharge into the floor, it discharged into a person and killed him. And the armed mob that stormed the police station wasn't supposed to be armed in the police station at all, so of course the situation escalated.

There is blame to go around, as each side escalated it until there was bloodshed.
Wouldn't the importer/exporter with less emissions have a competitive advantage? I think it's understood that citizens are paying a new tax to incentivize emission reduction by the companies.
My experience with recreation.gov reservations has been as soon as registration is available for the coming season people will reserve every weekend speculatively and just eat the reservation or cancellation cost if they decide not to go. It really sucks as you have to basically play the game yourself even if you are opposed to it.
European waters - the ships burn the nasty shit in international waters and switch to clean fuel when approaching the countries. There needs to be some way to get them to burn the clean fuel all the time - perhaps by climate concerned nations removing naval protection from boats that aren't burning clean.
> slow startup time, and useless tiny batteries

A camera is far faster in "startup time" (there's nothing to start up, just press the shutter to take a photo). And a DSLR will outlast battery life of a phone at least 100x.
Quora:
Does a gun barrel expand due to gas pressure?
Allen Davis
Yes, but it’s microscopic and very, very, very brief. On the order or nanoseconds. It’s this expansion that has allowed for technology to be developed in which chamber pressures can be accurately measured by use of piezo electric sensors.

ChatGPT is not wrong!
It seems to use the same type of template for comparisons:

React and Vue are both JavaScript libraries for building user interfaces. The main difference between the two is that React is developed and maintained by Facebook, while Vue is an independent open-source project.

React uses a virtual DOM (Document Object Model) to update the rendered components efficiently, while Vue uses a more intuitive and straightforward approach to rendering components. This makes Vue easier to learn and use, especially for developers who are new to front-end development.

React also has a larger community and ecosystem, with a wider range of available libraries and tools. This can make it a better choice for larger, more complex projects, while Vue may be a better fit for smaller projects or teams that prefer a more lightweight and flexible approach.

Overall, the choice between React and Vue will depend on your specific project requirements and personal preferences. It's worth trying out both to see which one works better for you.

He was undercutting his colleagues by working for free. So it kinda is my problem.

I mean, fine, since people's wages are not the same anyway some people might as well decrease their hourly wage by overextending.

But I feel a need to remind those people of that they are suckers and won't be compensated for it in the end.

Front end doesn't change that much from an implementation and coding perspective.

To that I mean, if you could code 5 years ago, and deploy a front end of any sort 5 years ago, you won't have many issues today.

People still use redis/memcached, mysql, php, apache2, with laravel for example.

And solutions such as docker, with unvetted builds snagged from random people, are no different, functionally, than a VM or even a bare metal cluster.

I will agree that the absurd node ecosystem, with its unsecure, unauditable packages, composer and its insane web of just stupid dependancies are ridiculous.

But that's not rapid change of method or coding language, just because behind the scenes it's all just language such as php.

So sure, the cruft is just that, but the meat is what drives change, and a lot of it.

Speaking as a former shipping and receiving guy, well, yes. It suggests some 11,000 pounds less capacity on a standard semi, which are highly regulated as far as maximum weight/mass goes.
>HN is much more heavily moderated than those websites.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Reddit is orders of magnitude more heavily moderated than HN. Your average run of the mill subreddit has more moderators than the entirety of HN.

>Which is a good thing, it's why conversations here tend to be of a higher quality.

I think the conversations here are higher because of the userbase, not dang's moderation. The site doesn't lend itself to the toxic userbase that reddit and tumblr has.

>I don't think the HN style of moderation would scale to places like Reddit even if they wanted it.

There are subreddits with more scale than HN, with more moderation. Scale is definitely not an issue.
You're assuming TS cares. She could have easily done a lot to fix this. Restrict resale of tickets. Price tickets higher. Hand out specific codes to only people in her fan club to buy tickets.

She made hundreds of millions on this tour. Its funny you all think that maximizing her profit wasn't the goal here

> don't really understand what there is worth talking about here.

Elon Musk, previously adored by many for futurist technology advocacy and largely forgiven for quirky-billionaire-behavior is now on the "bad guy list". This is "public opinion", from my perspective. It is now common to hear people saying: "He didn't really build that" "His family had money" "His family had a mine" "He's a fascist" "He's a racist because of where/when he was born"

Any and every attempt to report on the fallout from Musk buying twitter will command the headlines. Doesn't matter if it's the same strategy any other takeover management would employ. That's irrelevant. Musk? Bad Guy.

So: "Elon Bad. Twitter suffer. Here's an example..."
I take winegums, which are chewy sweets with zero vitamins in, but plenty of sugar. Highly recommend it.
I think they kind of have. Musk replied "that's fine" to Ye posting the Musk yacht photo and "that is not" to the Star of David Nazi symbol which suggests that was the final line for the ban. The "going deathcon one on the Jews", which led to the pre-Musk ban, is arguably a more explictly a violent threat than the symbol.
The future costs start with roughly 1 billion refugees from regions that become either underwater, too hot to live, or too little water to live.
You are referring to the other extreme in terms of types of writers. These investigative journalists compose a tiny percentage of the overall population of corporate media writers.
I'm not sure how much sense this makes. Is he just asking DOJ to accuse him of a crime? Is he going to give them evidence against himself? He hasn't claimed any involvement in the crimes that Assange is accused of (aiding and abetting someone in hacking government computers).
Sure and if someone advocated for violence against those groups they should be banned. But “men are not women” does not advocate for violence as I’m sure you’re aware of.
Then tax every m3 emitted.

Sure it will be passed to consumer but there aren't any good alternatives tbh.

Or just don't do anything and pray you aren't destroyed by climate change.
> My new conspiracy theory is all of the smaller coins were an easy way to extend the Ponzi scheme by inventing valuation out of thin air.

That's exactly what happened. I invent $GRBG coin, reserve 1 billion of them, and sell 1 to my friend for $1. Boom, $1 billion "market cap".

Then you wash trade between each other, raising the price enough so the suckers start to notice, and then cash out at the top.
I've only seen the negative articles/links. Am I missing the media that is still fawning over him?
You need about ten pictures for Dreambooth to give Stable Diffusion a good idea of what a new character looks like.
I have seen JAX-MD[1] but not sure about "much better".
On the other hand, there is just no MD implemented with PyTorch.

Though I only gave it a quick search and it seems annoying difficult to find straightforward spec sheets for semi tractors like you can for any piece of CAT equipment, [0]"As we highlighted above, there are several ways to measure a semi-truck’s weight, and the maximum legal weight for a fully-loaded semi in the United States is 80,000 pounds. The lowest unladen weight is roughly 25,000 pounds, but will typically be closer to 35,000."

So, 10,000+ pounds for the power pack alone is a sizable chunk of the maximum allowable weight, and could potentially eat into the allowance for cargo, more so for restricted routes like older inner city bridges with tight weight limits and the like.

Barrel pressures undoubtedly "inflate" it, exceeding safe pressures results in permanent deformation rather than elastic return to original dimensions. I suspect that sort of nuance is the connection.

My rule that has significantly increased my quality of sleep is absolutely no phone in the bedroom. I leave it in another room - otherwise it's impossible not to be on the phone at night or in the morning. I use a $5 alarm clock from walmart that runs on a AA battery (I've replaced it once in the 7 or so years I've had it)

I do read in bed sometimes though (book / kindle)

I usually fall asleep within 5-10 mins of closing my eyes, if I bring my phone I always get less sleep since I spend way too much time on it

I do sometimes struggle to fall back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night - have to do some breathing exercises to shut my brain off
>they own the reseller platform

They don't own the reseller platform. Stubhub is the largest in this category.

>There is nothing convenient about their convenience fees and they aren't innovating to benefit customers (or artists to be honest)

You're pretending the goal here is not to maximize artist profit. Theres a lot that the artist could demand to fix all of these problems. They don't
So the statement "corporate media produces nothing of intellectual value" is false.

I'm not defending the clickbait content a lot of outlets engage in but I'm concerned that if the "corporate media" disappeared tomorrow a lot of things would go uninvestigated. I'm also not sure that the number of stories published is a worthwhile metric either. Maybe one truly eye-opening investigative story is worth a hundred boring clickbait articles, I don't really see how you'd quantify it.
I am one of these luddites that still use a compact camera.

The firmware may be bad, yet I take a picture faster on my Sony compact camera than I do with my smartphone thanks to the physical buttons. I can also do it while cycling while doing the same with my smartphone is annoying as fuck in winter with gloves, in summer with sweat and expose the risk of losing and destroying my precious pocket computer.

Also for some my phone screen show as a black screen when using my polarized sunglasses while the lcd of my camera is still visible and allow me to point and shoot quickly. No idea what is the difference in tech on both that would explain that difference.

Most flagship smartphones may be super responsive but the average sub 200usd smartphone won't necessarily fire up the camera app faster than my Sony compact camera. And there is no way I will buy a 600 to 1000usd smartphone. I'd rather repair/replace either a 200usd smartphone or a second hand compact camera in the event I drop it and break it than a single 1000usd one.

Also from my experience with friends using flagships and apple ones, even the best smartphones are crappy under low light. Smartphones are great during the day, once it is dark they are pretty much useless.
I agree. I'd love to see mandatory retirement at 65 for elected offices.
I'm not sure if it's so much resentment as an implicit rewriting of the contract of employment. If I'm contracted for 40 hours a week, but the only people being promoted are the ones who "voluntarily" work 80 hours a week then the revealed policy of the employer is that everyone's being paid to work 80 hours a week, or 60, and if you're doing what was agreed to in the original contract you're slacking off.

You see this plenty even in less extreme examples, my old company had yearly awards for outstanding performance, and there was a clear pattern that the story of why the person had won almost always involved some personal sacrifice in service of the company. No one was winning awards for just being good at their job, showing up every day, and being a value to the team. You had to take a break from your vacation to get on a meeting, or work 2 weeks straight to get the award.

I'm sure the well-meaning among leadership (which I do believe was a decent amount of them) saw this as more of an apology. "Here's something to recognize that you did something you shouldn't have had to do". But functionally, it was creating a culture where you needed to abuse yourself in order to be recognized.
Which is why I said "similar or even worse" - there's no guarantee it's better.

And if University of California, Berkley is better than Harvard at CS, then there you go, a state school that is better. The possibility certainly exists.
You actually gave me a great idea!
Perhaps we can rename it to OpenWasm Foundation (I think that's a great name, your suggestion inspired me). I will discuss with more people to see what name will make more sense to rename it to.

And please let me know if you have other suggestions!
Hyrum's Law is the near reverse of Postel's and i think it should be taught.
This is an important point that gets overlooked in these discussion. Which is weird because I thought most programmers had learned the hard way that coding while tired is a surefire way to just generate more work.

Around 35 years old I realized I have a nasty soy sensitivity. And as I have become able to rule it out of my life, my memory is becoming fantastic.

Sorry to brag but it's one of the best things in my life.
The Youtube channel Engineering Explained went over the Tesla Semi, and the weight of the EV cab should be pretty similar to an ICE cab. Also EV trucks are allowed another 2k pounds.

36, relatable. My recall and retention both seem to improve with all the basic (yet rarely completely implemented) grandmotherly advice you can imagine: sleep regularly, enjoy as much daylight as possible, exercise daily, eat the rainbow, meditate (ok, grandma never included this one), spend time with people that make you feel good.

It's not just omz, as the article itself also says, omz is just an example and actually one of the less extreme ones.

Similar assumptions and liberties are more and more common, changing all manner of system-wide default behavior not just a user's own configs, sometimes even in direct conflict with other software that wants to make is own system-wide config such that you nominally couldn't have both things at the same time. Whichever you installed 2nd would work and break the other. While in reality neither one actually needed to make such assumptions or break anything else, could coexist fine, it was just grossly and inexcusably inconsiderate installers and directions.
It tells me that these universities have an environment that supports students setting up and running companies while still enrolled. Students being successful enough to drop out before graduating is a badge of honor for these universities. Flexibility with schedules, reduced work load, taking semesters off – none of these are allowed by Indian colleges (believe me, I went through it myself). You can't even pick your own subjects or class schedule. Tell me, what was the last success story to come out of the IIT entrepreneurs' club?
True! But that’s a critique of capitalism, not AI.

> Corporate media produces nothing of intellectual value.

Never seen any intellectual value in a BBC drama, comedy, or nature documentary?
That's what many have been saying for weeks now. But Musk has held to his "free speech except what's illegal" stance and accused advertisers who pulled ads of being against "free speech". If he's going to ban people for violating the laws of any country in which twitter operates then he'll effectively be turning twitter into disney and that goes against all of his claims.
> why football and basketball coaches are the highest paid public employees in the state

Because they're worth it. Many programs just straight up are profitable, but all of them contribute positively to the bottom line. Sports are the main way universites solicit donations from alumni. They make a university more popular to students by building school spirit. Football and basketball programs bring immeasurable benefits to universities.
I'm completely sold on this. Here's the output of "Describe Java in the style of Jamie Zawinski" (jwz.org):

Java? Ugh. Don't even get me started on Java. It's like the worst language ever. It's slow, it's bloated, it's a total mess. And don't even get me started on the whole Java ecosystem. It's like this giant, convoluted mess of libraries and frameworks and tools and... ugh.

But you know what the worst part is? The worst part is that everyone still uses Java. It's like, why? Why do people still use this awful language? There are so many better options out there. Like, seriously, have you tried Rust or Go or even JavaScript? They're so much better than Java.

But no, people just keep using Java. I don't get it. It's like, why would you willingly subject yourself to all the pain and suffering of using Java when there are so many better options out there? I just don't get it. Java is the worst.

Also, using obviously named politicians gives some pretty scary results. Just ask it to describe Kubernetes...
Are you sure that’s what people mean when they say “decadent”? I would, for example, include things like hedonism, living beyond one’s means, decreases in frugality, increases in conspicuous consumption, decrease in self-reliance skills. That’s not to blame the people involved, they’re responses to the environment that people find themselves in, and the culture that has developed.
>Ticketmaster literally holds back a large number of tickets specifically to sell to scalpers.
