>Good options were available?

I'm speaking relatively. Like stand on the corner selling drugs and probably go to jail or get up at 6AM every day to a shitty hard job that pays you hourly. The choices are not great but one is good compared to the other. One has a potential path to something better one day, the other all but guarantees you a cycle of poverty.
Party house. Or at least that's the theory.
Well Madonna had her second child rather late in life at 42 but then she has nannies, drivers, private schools and access to the best possible healthcare.

Kids are a taxing experience not only financially - the myriad school activities, transportation needs, doctor appointments, keeping track of what needs to be done, it is like having another YOU.

My parents had me when they were 23, my firstborn when I was 33 and the wife 34 and then two years later, we had the other one.
I prefer vertical transhumance; one gets the benefit of both worlds: to be a mossless rolling stone, yet still have one's stuff at each seasonal station.

I didn't say boilerplate for all allergies... I specifically stated, that the mfg should list allergens the facility handles, but aren't ingredients. That warning should be sufficient to state that it may not be safe for the allergens in question.

I'm sure actually adding allergens to food and labeling them is a much better solution after-all.

Why, because nobody is going to make 10 mfg facilities each avoiding a different singular ingredient.

You let the AI execute code, then it can learn. For now it is well read but lacks experience.

I was just about to say, I was slightly disappointed to find that this wasn’t an article about a novel technique to identify fast moving water (akin to the fact that we can identify the temperature water by the sound it makes when it is poured).
You will learn more about yourself if you try. Why live with self-imposed limits?

Make sure you triple-check your bandwidth requirements and options before you bite the bullet.

Try to ease into it. 2-4 days at a time can be a great way to start getting used to the change that would be needed.
The 10min/block rate-- and subsequent trasactions-- would suddenly take a lot longer under hash difficulty decreases in response. Until then, roughly 40% increase in time to mined block & corresponding decrease in transaction rate, probably an increase in fees to get your transaction included. These are in fact usability issues.
I hope that in the future, with autonomous public transportation service more like cabs, we can lessen the impact of cars in cities.

Currently I can imagine that it is not always easy to solve the problem with one solution, as people tend to change jobs more often than they change homes, and sometimes connections by public transportation are very inconvenient.
I read the post after visiting the link and for some reason I was 90% sure it was AI generated.
I have noticed this about hummingbirds as well. We have a feeder on our deck and if you are out there when they are feeding expect to receive an inspection. I like to think the thought in their brain is “are you a flower?”

I’ve also had a hummingbird come within a few centimeters of landing on my hand while mounting biking (stopped, of course). I credit my new-at-the-time bright red gloves for that interaction.
Yup. The unbundling is so key. I find that -- ironically -- lately, despite the proliferation of tools like this, they're just like the sirens in the myths, and if I tie myself to the boat and just use what I use (zim-wiki in my case, YMMV) and just force myself to spend time there, I'm actually doing the work/fun that's most fulfilling.

> the govt would likely never take over every single mining operation, when the lowest barrier is to simply ban it. That's exactly what happened.

Totally agree. I was contesting the narrow point of the government not being able to seize those operations. They could have. But they aren’t idiots, those rigs are strategically worthless because Bitcoin is strategically worthless.
I spent tte first 15 years of my career finding “passion” in my part time working hobby of being a fitness instructor, weightlifting, running as fast /long as my body would allow me, etc.

The next ten years I spent raising two (step)sons and spending time with my wife while still working out after I got (re)married.

For the last year, my wife and I have been planning our “hybrid digital nomad” life where we will be staying in our own vacation home/investment property half the year and flying across the US the other half.

We started that life last month.
There's plenty of times I take the opportunity to not press the submit button, but I deemed my comment not only factually accurate but also slightly funny. I never miss the opportunity to get away with a joke on HN because it's not encouraged on the site.
Execute the code to see if it passes the tests. Then you can use it with confidence. Lots of human code is crap too, it needs to be removed. You can use GPT-3 to administer tests and read the results.
eBay, Etsy and other marketplaces on brink of having to disclose seller details
I think it's not proper of me to add, but I'll reach out for help once more, feeling encouraged: I'd like to find some remote work. I have the following skills, among others:

- I am good at language learning, could teach anyone efficient techniques in the field, as, apart from my native Ukrainian and Russian, I am self-taught at English, German, and a bit higher than beginner Japanese. Not only that, but I am also good at learning in general, helping out people in Discord for 2 years in the Anki community.

- I am a bit higher than beginner at programming. I can manage some simple programs, such as a GUI that adds tasks to SQLite documents and kills background processes if any tasks unfinished.

- I'm good at relationships with people, having worked in customer support, and I've read a couple of books on the subject. I manage a Discord community, if that is saying anything.

If you got any advice, or would like to hire me, email is in profile, or write here :) It's frustratingly hard to find any work - I don't have certificates, nor work experience in the relevant fields. I am also outside a city, so there are few local jobs.

Sorry if this is improper(plugging my job seeking in a joyful thread like this one). I am trying to survive and feed my family.
I think it would have similar effect of reddit or youtube. 99% of the time I use reddit or youtube, it's started with search to jump straight to a topic.

And that is better because the demand side is an active, the knowledge side is the sort of passive. So mediocre knowledge wouldn't have the money backed ads power to outperform the better knowledge or solution.
Fastmail. Been a loyal customer for more than 6 years. Using my own domains with it, the best part is you get to use more than one domains, with total of 600 alias addresses you can attach to your account. Great spam filter, doesn’t try to be smart categorizing your emails like Google. For $50 a year, it’s one of the cheaper subscription that I have while providing high value.
Copilot. I get it for free, but I’d absolutely pay $10/month for it. Outside of its professional usefulness, it’s been a great help for messing with new languages and libraries. Plus, as long as you have your relevant code open in a tab, writing certain tests becomes incredibly easy.

Github’s Copilot labs is also doing some cool stuff with their code explaining and refactoring tools. I don’t use them much yet but I’m sure they’ll continue to improve.
I don't think the principles that HoTT wants to take as axiomatic are actually fundamental or ontologically basic enough to be made axiomatic. Is that so shocking?
I uninstalled the other day when I started getting notifications when someone’s story is on my feed. On messenger. That’s not a message and there is no way I found in twenty minutes of digging to turn it off. Screw that.
There seems to be a big uptick in the number of people who like to scold others for their family planning choices, especially women, and especially for choosing to delay beyond some particular threshold the scolder takes to be ideal (often representative of some imagined sepia toned traditional time). The truth is if you're reasonably affluent nearly all of these supposed downsides can be mitigated and are usually preferable to trying to take care of kids on a shoestring budget while still building a professional and economic foundation.
This philosophy works well in truly competitive markets. However, fast-moving water can be artificially generated by throwing a ton of VC / IPO money at a market.

> Three months later, we pivoted into video games on FB, grew quickly to $10M’s of revenue that we didn’t have before, and Saar was proven right

How big are FB video games today? Zynga was purchased for $12.7B when Take-Two's market cap was ~$20B without really impacting Take-Two's market cap meaning that Take-Two purchased a company for $12.7B that the market valued at ~$0 (generously if we assume the following peak of $28B was the acquisition, then the market valued it at ~4B).

My point is that "find the fast moving water" is a greedy search algorithm that is heavily distorted by private capital flows / band-wagon effect. That's why once a market sees 1 serious VC entering it meaningfully you see a massive cash flow as all VCs follow. That doesn't mean that it's actually creating value vs entrepreneurs rushing in to build companies to extract as much value as possible from the "dumb money" flowing in. This also sucks away oxygen from things that might be more durable ideas that are harder businesses to build.

It's useful advice for finding personal wealth in VC markets. I do wish there was some kind of economic model that manages to meaningfully inhibit pure market capital churn while encouraging construction of durable businesses. Probably not possible in the VC space I suspect.

Probably in this analogy, as other mentioned, we should be looking for fast moving deeper water / water that's likely to maintain a forward direction for a long time vs surface water churn.
I feel strongly that infinite scroll needs to be either illegalized or heavily regulated.
I can't even imagine going on a cruise ship for fun anymore, let alone live on one. Once COVID hit, I was convinced that if society was sane, the floating petri dish industry would finally die. Hell, I get the heebie-jeebies just walking into a 400 sq. ft. retail shop. If I had to live in a cell of one of these disease-honeycombs, I'd lose my mind.
How many of those immigrants are allowed to vote? The US, by contrast has a massive amount of immigrant populations, multiple generations in with varied backgrounds, over a massively larger scale of both population and land mass. My high school didn't have a majority from any single racial group.
From acquaintances who have taken a cruise, the selection of non-retirees is pretty limited. Which does not necessarily change the odds, but does cater to a specific audience.
Oxfam Extreme Carbon Inequality had something like 16 ton average and 8 ton median for the US. Here in Finland it's around 7 and 11 but we're one of the most equal countries but still the difference is big.

I'm too tired to look up the sources but OECD ones can be found from the stated report though a few years old by now.
Funny to read this today. Last night I got sick of TV, sick of all the interwebs' distractions, and just sat there with eyes closed, letting my mind wander.

Finally I remembered I wanted to read Fathers and Sons (Turgenev). Here's a great question: why am I here and not reading that? BRB.
Given that the US is currently in a deep war with Russia and has spent billions helping Ukraine, I believe it is only normal that Russia finances turmoil in US with at least a couple hundreds of USD millions.

Just find extremist people in the US and finance them. It is a standard thing in war. The reason the Bolsheviks won was because they were supported by the german government, as they were in war against Russia.

> They repeatedly mention PHP and JQuery as a boring technology, but that's simply not the case, they're antiquated technology

Both work, and both can be used effectively to build useful things.

What defines "antiquated"? jQuery is useful for me because it patches over the DOM API in a way that I find significantly more palatable and easier to program in than the standard JS DOM API. I don't care too much for the reactive frameworks.

I have little love for PHP, but can I truly say it's objectively worse than Ruby, Python, or Perl? I don't like various design choices they made in PHP (including some of the newer ones) and I don't really understand how anyone does like them, but does that make the language "antiquated" in any sort of objective sense? I don't see how it does. It's basically just "I don't like it". People come up with a lot of different ways to say "I don't like it" to try and make it sound more authoritative.
Kids need routine and social interaction with their peers and teachers.

Keeping them cooked up at home for years is a lot more damaging than a cold. Like immeasurably bad idea.

They never closed down schools (except for universities) in Sweden for this reason. They also never forced masks or curfews. The main thing that they did was to limit inside capacity to 50 people max for restaurants and other avenues.

There were groups of people who would protest that the government should be enforcing masks, basically full reverse of what people were protesting in all other places around the world.
What’s a lifted truck?
“Reasonable” is doing some heavy lifting, but i just spent another 10 minutes hunting through all the in-app settings menus I could find and I haven’t found a way to disable these alerts.

They certainly don’t want you to disable deal notifications and make it very difficult to do so.

It’s like the old quote about fire extinguishers: if you don’t know where one is, it doesn’t exist. If a reasonable effort cannot find the setting, it doesn’t exist.

Ever see radiator in action ? The ones I have uses steam. Water would boil in the furnace and pressure would force the steam up to the radiators. Then the steam would condense, heating the apartment and the water would flow back down to the furnace to be re-heated again.

In the old furnace, every so often you would have to add water, depending on how cold it is outside.

The house was build over 110 years ago, so electricity was not too common back then. I probably think the source of heat back then was a coal furnace.
Reality Labs at Meta is itself a long shot so the employees there are probably used to taking risks.

> 4. Medical ? That could be an issue too.

It very much is, but young folks tend to ignore it.

I had a friend who was a Chaplain on a cruise ship, and had a heart attack, while they were at sea. He didn't get proper medical care for about a month, and, by that time, considerable damage had been done.

He had to resign that commission, and was never the same again. He ended up dying before reaching 70.

The noise has become ridiculous, even for expected things. Luckily smartphone OSes have good notification handling nowadays.

Your computer cant access social media?

I don't mean to be glib, but I often see people discuss this as though it's a smartphone only thing. It's just as possible to doom scroll on the big screen.

Maybe I'm jealous that some people can restrict time wasting to just the phone.
The infinite scroll isn't really the issue here (though I wouldn't mind a law mandating a toggle).
I am in the minority I think but I am a passionate programmer. My passion at the moment comes out in several forms such as my side project / personal website (https://dustinbrett.com). But I have loved tech and computers since I was a kid and I love consuming anything about them and I wake up thinking about cool things to do with them. I wouldn't want to live without some kind of passion to drive my interests.
Yeah that yarn about the anti LGBTQ extremism is a GREAT example of the causal misinformation cycle we often find ourselves in.

It is readily falsifiable (the police talked of her like a day after the shooting and decided she is just a crank spouting off on Facebook…the end), it has absolutely no merit, zero.

It was repeated/suggested/amplified WAY early with zero evidence by notable LGBTQ twitter personalities because it fit a narrative in THEIR head. Then it became THE narrative…

And now despite absolutely no connection whatsoever you see it weeks later in adjacent news stories and even here on HN.

As fascinating as it is terrible.
That would be a signal that either:

a) it's not spam

b) you are feeding intelligent honeypots

c) you are dreadfully miscalibrated on open rates and unsubscribes

Smart money is on c.

> I'm sure there will be fees.

Those fees are going to be in the neighborhood of $40k/year. I couldn't find any good documentation, which I suspect requires going through more of the sales process. However, this page [1] has children's rates as $15-20k/year, and another article suggested around $25k/year for adults. That's assuming double occupancy though - single occupancy gets an 18% discount off the rates for double occupancy.

Q: Since this is built on React Native, is it possible to build pages using Hyperview and then supplement them with stateful UI component trees using common RN libraries (eg, Redux)? Like, mix approaches?
There are a fair few comments here suggesting that you are actually helping most and doing the right thing by cutting off all help and support.

Stronger, faster, better etc.

Some comments use themselves as an example (along the lines of ‘I got nothing and wasn’t helped, look at me now’).

It’s seriously grim.

I think Google needs to add a better way to secure old / previously inactive accounts. My guess is because your account was old, and your current device, IP and overall fingerprint was different it decided you were an intruder.
Reading stories like these, I’m glad I don’t even have a Google account.
Well, Windows doesn't work that well. At least on my setup, when I drag a window across DPIs, the window size is incorrect on the other monitor, during the dragging animation, and then when I release the mouse button, the window and fonts properly "snap" to match what I'd expect. A little janky but it kind of works if you have no desire for a polished product.
I am always torn about the agressivity of MS on the marketplace at the time and their displayed technical insecurity visible in trying to ensure compatibility with existing apps (vs telling external developers to fix things).

I find this to be amazing and terrifying at the same time. I love the idea that we have finally reached a place in human existence where people can create basically a sci-fi reality to live in for nothing more than amusement.At the same time the gulf between those at the bottom and this ship's existence has never been greater.

For an HN spin. This actually is proof of why Meta verse and VR will never catch on. The creators of VR themselves are not downsizing their life to use VR. They are going full real life experiences instead. Digital life is just a poor persons substituent for lacking the funds to enjoy reality. Nobody aspires to "VR" their life.
I was just as “egoless” the beginning of 2020 when I was an “enterprise architect” working for a 60 person startup with my big house in the burbs as I am now that I stumbled into a cloud consulting job working remotely at BigTech.

I had no desire to work for a FAANG as a software developer. I enjoyed being able to work at any level of the software delivery process from pre-sales, talking to the customer, system design, development, “DevOps”, etc.

I was not “rich” by any means.
Specialization of passion.

Nobody can or should be passionate about all the things. But we can be thankful for those who are passionate about the domains where we are not, since we collectively benefit from those domains being loved and nurtured. At least in many cases.
> That begs the question, why do I want to be the most successful person in my field?

I'm not sure how this begs any question. Some baristas work at coffee shops to make ends meet; others want to be the best at what they do and compete in barista competitions, learn to roast, maybe eventually start their own coffee shops, etc. Why some do the former while others do the latter is just a question of priorities, dreams, desires, and so on.
Same, upstate NY as a teenager. A couple cords stacked a few yards from the house, enough for the entire year. One problem we would never have is heat, except that if the power went out then some rooms would go cold with no way to run fans to move the air around. But no one would freeze because most of the house could be like a dry sauna.

I think in this case it must be more about a level of poverty so extreme they can't even pull together the years supply ahead of time, even if the community as a whole does have it all ready.

Maybe they don't distribute it except it tiny amounts for some reason? Maybe it gets stolen or sold?

I mean I can only assume that there is some reason they can't do the sensible thing. I couldn't imagine risking relying on daily or weekly deliveries of tiny armloads of wood. I can only assume anyone doing that has no choice or at least thinks they have no choice. I'm sure there are a few individuals who are just, let's say thoughtless, because there are always some, I'm not counting those.
