>> The tax system and other incentives lead people to not really work their hardest and best, and this propagates all the way to the stock indexes

I used to be a believer in this. But I recently moved from Sweden to UK, from a very socialist country to a very capitalist one.

In capitalist societies people live in survival mode. This doesn't work well in every profession, especially managerial roles become very predatory. It does work well in tech/individual contributor roles though.

Some mundane tasks that are needed for tech development to go smoothly over long periods of time, is easier to manage in socialist Sweden. Whereas in UK, I suspect in US too, people tend to gloss over mundane managerial processes/goals like scrum, roadmap planning, business goals etc.

>Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the Internet, especially for non-native speakers.

I have heard (seen) the statement so many times. Personally, I find it quite trivial to detect; so I suppose it's partly related to how much sarcasm one would indulge in normal daily routine.

>Tone just doesn't come across

Gotta train on that dead pan delivery.
It amazes me how confident the comments against and in favor of crypto/Binance are. It is very likely that you don't have appropriate knowledge or don't have access to critical information as to why something is the way it is.

The youtube link posted below is supposedly revealing irregularities with the audit, but the basic knowledge of how the blockchains work invalidates the irregularities. The claim is that the audit is missing a bunch of wallets and coins, but they don't understand that BSC, ETH and BTC wallets also hold other coins, not just BNB, ETH and BTC (e.g. ETH and BSC wallets can hold basically any coin and even BTC wallet can actually hold USDT/TETHER).

Unless you work at Binance and have access to all the financials, your guess is basically a coin flip wether they are solvent or not.

As an example, a few weeks ago crypto.com was said to be insolvent and there was a bank run [1] [2], however nothing collapsed. As always, be cautios, not your keys, not your coins, but I would definitely not bet (short) that they would collapse.

For fellow technological enthusiasts, an interesting innovation from Binance: they generated the merkle tree where any Binance user can independently self verify his assets within the platform [3].

The problem with allowing for only one (and occasionally two) movies per year is that great movies do not appear equally distributed. There could be a year in which four absolute fantastic movies were made while in the next year saw only mediocre releases. By approaching the list based on year, this would imply that you get to watch one of the mediocre movies of the second year but only one (or two) of the fantastic movies of the year before.

Oh I bet fun also played a role. But I don't even know what exactly you are comparing against the PDP-11 here or and what point, because UNIX development happened on 11s for at least a decade. UNIX first ran on a PDP-11 in 1971 or so and a decade earlier there was only CTSS perhaps to compare it to, which had more memory than a PDP-11 at the time. Later timesharing systems like Multics and TOPS-10 also ran on bigger machines. And let's not forget it all began on a PDP-7, which was even smaller.
It does not have to be about "them" you have a path available to you to make a person that you supposedly feel bad about better off.

I agree to that, but I think this is not going to change as the outcry would be big, as people here like the minimalism. And I like minimalism, too, but I also seldom upvote on mobile, because it takes too much effort to hit the tiny spot and then "undown" again because I missed again. Custom CSS is possible though ..
I made a small pre-processor that implements block-scoped defer in C, by transforming the source to add the deferred code at each exit point in a function.
It is called Cedro: https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/cedro/202106171400/#defe...

That link goes directly to the relevant section in the manual.

It includes a cc wrapper called `cedrocc` so you don’t need intermediate files, and it works hard to produce clean code for the generated parts. The rest is not modified at all. The goal is to be useful even if you only use it once to generate that repetitive code.

The pre-processor `cedro` depends only on the C standard library, and `cedrocc` depends on POSIX.

I think the issue is a lot more subtle than simply "dark mode = better" vs "light mode = better". When it's dark around me, I don't want a bright white screen blinding me, so I prefer dark mode. But when I'm in a well-light room with a white wall behind my screen, I don't want to have to peer at a dark rectangle.

Also, whether you're using dark or light mode, contrast and brightness need to be set right, and I think they have different requirements for contrast and brightness; in dark mode, I suspect the fewer bright parts need to be brighter than the large light background in bright mode. So if you're comfortable using your current mode, simply switching to the other one without adjusting your contrast and brightness might indeed give you a worse experience, no matter which mode it is.

Or maybe not. I seem to be fine mixing different modes. I used to always have my IDE in bright mode, but it's currently in dark mode, and it's fine, and HN uses bright mode, and that's fine too. But I did notice that when it's dark, I do prefer dark mode.

This was a novel idea, at some point. For the stock it is a tautology, but for generally determining the worth it is a deep idea. It requires buying into a point of view of this model and, like all models, it is a (useful) approximation.

If one accepts that the worth of something is the price that supply and demand establish, there is no room for workers being underpaid (or overpaid), according to this model. They are paid exactly what the market determines (so what they are worth). Of course this is extremely simplistic, but you get the idea.

Funny, however, how this often touted as self-evident does not stop people from saying x profession earns too much, while the same time advocating for the market as the ultimate solution to all our problems.

Rural living is simultaneously overly accommodated (as in we go out of our way to encourage policy, promote social mores, and expand technology which supports choosing to live in rural areas) and woefully abandoned (the problems discussed in this article, but I’d emphasize lack of access to things humans depend on generally like health care). I honestly think most of the solution is to stop over-accommodating. The vast majority of rural-living people don’t need to live so remotely from the resources they deserve, and they could live slightly closer together without any meaningful harm to their lives or preferences. To the extent people do need to live in rural areas, we should recognize they’re critical members of society and do all the things we already do to expedite movement of resources in more urban areas.

Per the article’s main theme: we should eliminate the time and place problem by mostly not living in remote locales where we don’t need to, and do whatever we can to minimize the impact of distance for those who have to.
I rarely find anything that isn't in the genre of "Tensei" (Reincarnation) anymore except a few longstanding franchise, anime/manga with much hype (Demon Slayer), or something related to the voice actor. In the last case, I picked up Birdie Wing due to two big name VAs (Tōru Furuya and Shūichi Ikeda), and it doesn't disappoint me at all.
It's because there's a common trope online that people say seeing something in light mode is "blinding" or "makes my eyes bleed".

I think it's therefore important that the actual benefits of dark mode are tested scientifically and not just assumed.
Ultra luxury goods have a few downsides tho. The ultra rich are not easy customers, there is a high risk involved with having few customers (e.g. they could leave you hanging, another company could outperform you and grab that customer and you are basically done for etc.). A friend of my family has made his living selling handcrafted multi-million dollar hunting rifles. Let me tell you, these people are not easy to deal or negotiate with. The income brackets below are happier to spend and there is more of them

Even ultra luxury good creators rely a lot on other stuff, like manufacturing machines, hardware, parts, materials, etc. So the safer bet is probably going to be to sell shovels in a gold rush.
"Unless you work at Binance and have access to all the financials, your guess is basically a coin flip wether they are solvent or not."

This is one of the reason why Binance should be regulated properly or closed down.
There's an interesting question there whether the primary distinction for those "minorities with a stronger anti-Soviet sentiment" was ethnic or economic. It just so happens that your average Ukrainian (and, to a lesser extent, southern Russian) peasant was a fair bit more rich - partly because of better soil and climate, and partly because the brutal Russian take on serfdom wasn't practiced as long there as it had been in central Russia. And rich peasants were considered "economic enemies", which Soviets interpreted in very draconian terms (tainted the whole family).

But, of course, this possibility does not exclude the other. If this was the primary motivation, however, it neatly explains why some southern Russian regions were also severely affected despite not having any separatist tendencies.
That isn't a failure of the planning system, or from interference from environmentalists.

It's a failure of government and the British democracy.

Or live a in low COL country with low taxes, spend nothing on stupid leet code courses (the time is much more valuable than 2000$) and just freelance. You can make 300K easy if you would be able to get into FAANG, and take home 270K after taxes.

Spend 800$ to live in a fancy, big apartment or a nice small house, eat out as much as you want, do vacations live a good life on 20K per year.

After 3 years you will have 750K saved + 100K was never touched and only need 15% growth in 3 years (instead of the illusional 100% growth of stocks hoped for in the above comment) to be at a million. Even if stocks go down you are easy FIRE with a SWR that gives you 30 to 40K a year so close to double of what is needed.

This should work much much more likely than the crazy thing OP suggest, not even sure if meant with sarcasm or not.

Hard to say. Canada's really funny sometimes when it comes to such things. We have supply management for dairy, poultry, turkey, and eggs. Quebec has similar protectionism for maple syrup and until last decade, the Canadian Wheat Board acted as a similar supply management role for Western Canada.

In a speculation driven environment, the future earnings of a particular growth company are heavily dependent on investor sentiment. If people want to invest in a company for whatever reason (such as hype), that means the company can raise more money at a higher valuation for a given amount of dilution, and by investing that money it can generate higher future earnings per share.

Yes, and between the terroristic birth of communism, and 9/11, protection from russia's annexation of dozens of countries and their sociopathic disregard for life was as the primary motivation of Europe and America's defense research. Now they are also helping get the contrarians behind green power. It will also the lazy oil-bearing gulf states hang themselves.

Yes the germans created rocketry and the first jet engines, which they created as weapons against the communists. In cooperation with Europe, the United States of America annexed hitler's scientists and technologies, and used them to help defend ourselves from the communist plague. We also quite successfully commercialized these technologies.

Fear of being a communist slave by a country which has no problems working or starving its captives to death in the name of the state ideoloy, well, it's a hell of a motivator. I remember my great grandmothers' stories about the russian pogroms very well.

My worldview was prior to near-zero interest rates but the bulk of my career has been in the 2010s. Mine was: you work hard and others and yourself recognize value. Heh ... it didn't work during the last decade and it is my own naivete that led me to think that way. My view is purely anecdotal though. I know others had different experiences.

It took me a long time to learn that motivators for executives, shareholders, etc. were different than having a necessarily productive workforce. I can't help but say this is just my own experience and what I read though: cheap money seems to be really influential. I worked in a place for a long time that kept buying other companies with access to cheap credit lines and plenty of willing investors. I am not sure if that correlates to how little we were producing ourselves (that is, if there was a corporate strategy of buying companies precedes a product strategy.) However, this strategy would immediately stop when interest rates would jump.

I am too scared to speculate though and only walk away with a better sense of when red flags like this start to raise. Maybe there will be different things to look out for though when these influences are not present. However, I am thinking that maybe the return to "work hard and you'll be seen" will sort of come back again. Well, hopefully for myself it would. Seeing others recognize and value what I did is really encouraging.
