Hi YuryVladkov,
This really sucks. There is lots of advice but one piece of advice worth mentioning is that you can freelance (e.g. Estonian or other EU company) and then you can use visa free days and live like a digital nomad.

Depending on your origin country a lot of countries have visa free travel. In the EU you can stay indefinitely by going in and out of the schengen zone. Using Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Albania, Macedonia, Ireland and Cyprus as places to spend time. And then the rest of the 90 in 180 days inside Schengen.

This might not work for you if you don't have visa free travel, but it's worth mentioning anyway. In the mean time you can sort things out and apply for other jobs.

So long as you stay clear of the major world cities (e.g. Berlin, Munich, Paris) airbnb and equivalent can be quite affordable for monthly stays. For example Sofia is quite a nice city and has quite affordable accommodation and coworking.

I'm happy to answer more questions if you want. My contact details are on my profile (prefer telegram).
AWS is wayyy too complicated to "simply get it done" for a single user. It makes no sense to learn all that if you just do it for yourself.

In fact I have to do a bit of AWS for work and I hate it with a passion. It's spread over a ton of services each with their own console (that look & feel like they were designed by completely different people), lots of overlap between services, complex billing. Configuration often needs to be done with complex json files. Ugh. Perhaps it makes sense for a major enterprise where you have orchestration for everything. But I would never pick this total mess for a personal project.

Azure has a bad name but at least everything is integrated in the same console pretty nicely.

But really if you just need an instance of something for personal use, DigitalOcean, Scaleway etc are so much simpler. And cheaper, and most stuff is just included in the monthly price so you don't get billing surprises.
Having ECC being checked inside the CPU is actually useful as data loss may be induced by EMI (and other factors) on PCB data lines.

what do you define as monstrous about the human beings you are vilifying?
The mortgage interest deduction was one of the few things enabling upward mobility for middle class citizens. Too many policies are governed based on one perspective. There was a cap on the profitability that could be garnered on applying it, but that was driven even lower in the past 4 years to make it almost worthless now.

The ability to save money and to be able to work your way out of economic instability is not a favor that government grants people. Upward economic mobility is one of the few things that held the social contract of taxation in place. Without upward financial mobility rules, taxation is simply a forced and pretty pohony "mob protection" fee.
Useful for whom though.
I don't follow. The post is long on his odd upbringing, clumsy propaganda campaigns on 4chan, the unlikeliness of some conspiracy theories, and amateur psychoanalysis casting an unkind light on various factions.

So.. what? How does that affect whether his ethnicity has a right to exist as a cohesive group, whether its members are better off as part of such a group vs. alone, whether they are better off sharing their countries with other ethnicities with strong group identities, and whether the documented relative demographic decline of his group in many countries [1] is something that group should welcome?

It is so hyperfocused on the people involved, it entirely ignores the underlying facts.

I really hope you thoroughly investigate this concern before moving to Europe. It's far less "progressive" in some aspects than the Bay Area. In most European countries if you are a mentally ill individual screaming at night in the middle of the city you will either be arrested (and likely hospitalized) for disturbing public order or beaten up by someone local. There are very few places in the world where it's a widely held view that we can just dump mentally ill people on the street if that's what they want.

Progressive politics in the US sadly transformed from mostly socially and economically-oriented (Wilson, Roosevelt) to an amalgamation of Marxism (Boudin), capitalism, wokeism and social impotency that satisfies no one.

School is boring. The skill to learn is how to deal with that and still survive. At such a young age you're learning the rules which is why it's hard to engage students. A classic example, using algebra to balance a checkbook, would bore students more. They don't have the ability to do any interesting geometry, no knowledge of physics (that's usually high school), etc. Chemistry is typically not taught before the middle of high school, etc. Keeping high school students engaged, from what I understand, is a different art entirely.

The only class that might be able to be made more interesting is English. The Scarlet Letter and The Great Gatsby are both snoozefests. But for other subjects the idea of "creating engagement" is more difficult. People seem to think children possess the foresight they do even though they are adults. In middle school, most of the time you can just say "this will get better in a few years if you do well here". Children lack a sense of delayed gratification. Hence the popularity of PE as a subject (aside from the health benefits) or music classes relative to other classes. Funny enough, the modern adult (still a child) also tends to lack this ability. There's nothing wrong with these classes intrinsically. They just provide an "instant" dopamine hit a developing brain is hardwired to understand.

Not everyone can afford to send their kids to a "montessori" school to have some avante garde teaching method keep them "engaged". For the rest of us, learning how to cope with something boring will be an extremely useful life skill the second you enter the real world.
Yeah, already happening in Aus and proposed in Fin.

> It’s ok to hire and fire at will, but it should be not ok for Amazon to do this.

I mean, this seems to be self-contradictory.

"We don't want to have rules around hiring and firing! We just want companies to be good!"

If there are no rules against particular abuses of labor, large, unethical companies will commit those abuses, especially if it makes things more convenient for them or someone can argue that it saves 0.03¢.

It should not be considered to be OK to hire and fire at will.

Imagine cofee shop where You just sit at first empty table, says few words to and hologram and than the food and cofee materializes (let's just ignore the technoloy side of this thought experiment). And after You are finisheed the table cleans itself and bill is automatically settled without any interaction.

Are You sure that in this kind of world cofee shops with real people waiting tables and baristas making cofee would still exist? Because I am not sure that badly paid people are the essential part of Starbucks experience.
Try Scaleway, stardust. You can only have 2 but they are 2 euro a month. And free bandwidth. I really like them (Note: I have mentioned them several times in this thread but I have no affiliation or commercial interest - just a happy customer).
There is also something powerful to have kids who want to spend time with you on holidays and so on, because they had a good relationship with you. Kids are not just the time you raise them, even if they are mostly active in 20 year span of your life. And if you care about your children, treat them and raise them well, in some ways they will be the most stable relationship you ever have.

A lot of relationships go sour, and IMO I think it's fairly difficult for even the married-forevers to say if their relationship stays good. There is also more conflicts of interest with your spousal partner than there are with children in many ways. Your partner is major, but so is your friends, your kids, your family and there isn't a silver bullet for any of them.
It seems more pertinent to ask it about more general or even neutral items, like the study did, rather than inherently political and controversial ones.
I'm using OSM-based Organic Maps weekly and they're quite good to that day.

You need a wrongful dismissal lawyer in the Canadian province you would have been working in. Canada has had a number of successful "wrongful hiring" lawsuits where the prospective employer has had to pay up.

Likely you would win an amount equivalent to the severance you would be eligible for from your previous employer plus additional expenses for relocation.

A letter from a wrongful dismissal lawyer will likely open the window to a better deal without having to file a lawsuit as companies don't like to see their name dragged in the mud with this kind of lawsuit.
This is great but I have trouble running it, so I just opened a couple PRs and bug reports.

Thanks for releasing this!

UBI seems great as someone pursuing the FIRE route. Let's say I need $80k for a comfortable lifestyle in my Midwest town. At a 4% safe withdrawal rate, I would need to save $2M to achieve that. But add in a $20k UBI for my wife and I and suddenly our required FI number is only $1M. Now that's not factoring in changes to tax rates, but it seems very unlikely that increased taxes would eat up all of it. I could see UBI saving me $500k+ in cost of retirement. Then add on to it you now have the insurance of a floor under which your income will never fall, even if the market crashes horribly.
Hello!
I'm completely new to Hacker News, and did not know until just now that this conversation had been taking place here. I have been trying to keep up with developments on Twitter where I am @mssprovenance
If people have specific questions I'll try to answer them, but I do not want to speculate directly about people's motives etc.; if you look at the tweets, you'll see that I try to stick to the facts.
I should perhaps say that I am not a bot, and my blog is not monetized, so although I may earn some kudos for this episode, I have no prospect of financial gain!
My blog is not anonymous, and the world of medieval illuminated manuscripts is fairly small and close-knit, so most people in that specialist world know who I am.
The irony of the whole affair is that I am less bothered about the apparent plagiarism than about the way they treated me when I contacted them.
Hope you all had a lovely Xmas!
I'm willing to believe I'm the problem with news (I don't pay for any directly, though I don't generally run adblockers), but the movies... I watch more non-sequels/spinoffs/remakes than I do franchise films.

Perhaps it's better to say the demand-side in general is a big part of the problem? But on the other hand, sometimes it's hard to know you want something that isn't being made and marketed.
But you need both the master password _and_ the secret key.

Even if you write it down on a post-it note, you now need a physical attack to access it on top of whatever attack you needed for the master password.

I'm the person you're replying to. My original plan was to raise kids in Manhattan. Luckily my wife talked me out of it and we moved to the suburbs.

Stories like yours are great but unsaid are things like: do your kids have a back yard to play in? How fresh is the air? Do they get to watch dad take care of a house and yard so they learn skills like that? Are they dodging shit on the street as they walk to school ( always was the case in NYC but extra bad now). Are their neighbors families with minimum two kids, or are they a much less family friendly demographic? Etc.

I used to not think about these things until I experienced the better version of these things in the burbs. The self-selection of neighbors who made the move to a family friendly location alone is a game changer
Of all the "revelations" of the Twitter Files (mostly recapping the interactions that were already publicly known), preventing DoD run accounts from being marked as spam is the closest thing to an actual scandal. But

1. These accounts weren't promoted, they were just protected from being "deranked".

2. Twitter and Meta suspended most of these accounts, and made public that they had done so. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/19/us/politics/pentagon-soci...

So the entirely of this "scandal" is that Twitter agreed to shield these accounts from being attacked themselves (mass labeled as spam) - which as it turns out wasn't needed because according to their own records, these accounts received 1-2 impressions per post. In other words, no one even saw them.

Then Twitter banned them and pubicaly fingered them.

Should Twitter have done this? No. Is it proof of an engine of Twitter/US Gov cooperation to promote certain things and silence others? No.

> Luckily our society is more complex than that, otherwise a single person would literally own everything.

This is the natural end result of the system we are currently stuck with. It just takes time. Every year, we are inching closer to a world where one person owns everything. I don’t expect to see it in my lifetime or the next generation’s lifetime, but maybe within a century or two, if we continue down the track we are on.
Google/Chrome is probably the most secure password manager. They have the greatest incentives to keep it secure along with the largest bug bounties and number of people attacking it.
1. Complete victory for Ukraine, with Russia at minimum gone from Donbas and likely gone from Crimea

2. More supply trouble, not less, as Covid waves become a fact of life in China. This may be masked by recession

3. 2023 will be the first year people start to mutter that maybe Covid isn’t just a cold even if you’re vaccinated, and links will be made to rising heart attacks in working age people. However there will first be “the pandemic is really over now!” during the summer lull, before a wave of respiratory infections in the fall

4. If we’re lucky, point #3 will lead to a focus on indoor air quality/co2 measurement, but this one isn’t a prediction. It’s the obvious eventual solution though

5. Tether blows up, and more crypto institutions blow up, including Binance and DCG. Likely Silvergate bank too

6. Labour force continues to “mysteriously” shrink as more people are knocked out by long Covid, acute illness, caring for loved ones, and death
One key feature of 1Password is the use of a secret key in addition to a master password.

See page 10 [1] which explains how the secret key provides extra entropy (which makes it much harder to brute force a user who choses a weak password). Also see Story 1 on page 11 [1].

This is inevitably going to sound facetious but you can always move back. Give up some things, gain others. Isn't that what this essay's about?

I'm 40. My parents are 75 and I recently moved back next door to them. I expect to be here until they die. Is it my favourite place to live? No. Best for my career? Couldn't be worse. But I see my folks every day. I see my childhood friends every week. I see as much of my family as I can stand - I bump into a random cousin on the daily.

Do you value closeness to family above other things and would you like your daughter to value closeness to you when she grows up? Choices are here to be made.
Just on the offchance that anyone cares, the PLUCHINO/BIONDO/RAPISARDA paper quoted in the article is a complete fraud.

They use a model where, in each step, wealth is halved with p=0.5, and doubled with p=0.5*talent, where no individuals have a talent above 0.9. In other words, in the absence of randomness, everyone has zero wealth.

Does randomness cause wealth in a model designed so that lack of randomness causes zero wealth ? The answer may surprise you.....
Unless you’re running the models yourself with your own queries, you’ll just end up consuming model output that has been prompted to inject advertisements.
Yes, but much sillier. It takes a lot more effort to walk with a silly walk as silly as John Cleese's. It's like a real workout! ;-)

Beyond the trivial, there is no such thing as a neutral platform. At any sort of scale, you have to make choices. Do you host spammers or people who hate spam? Do you host would-be ethnic cleansers or the people they would violently drive away? Do you host people eager to exploit children, or do you want your platform to be safe for children? Do you host people who are eager to bother [insert ethnic, sexuality, or gender group] or the people they would be harassing?

Even if the people you find to run the platform are completely amoral, these are also business questions. People have freedom of association, and they will use it. Businesses will too. If you want to run a "neutral and objective" hosting company that is happy to take the nazis and the spammers and the carders and the ddosers, you will quickly find yourself specializing in that market, because few others will choose to be associated with that.

I agree... That's my point... The words used to describe what's going on when tech is integrated into retail are all off base, and it's a smokescreen to gaslight everyone into thinking beneficial strides are being made, while it's actually costing a lot more in the long run. :)

> So you're saying communism can't survive in the real world where foreign intelligence agencies exist?

I mean, this is an incredibly disingenuous conclusion. By that logic democracy is flawed and can never exist in South America, the Middle East, or any other number of places where the CIA staged coups and assassinated leaders.

It's hard for any system to thrive, regardless of its merit, when the world's de-facto superpower has dedicated billions into its destruction.

Yes, of course. Declaring a blockade and mining harbors would only happen as a response to some sort of major aggressive act by China. It would be an act of war, but still a step below direct kinetic attacks on the Chinese military. It's possible to de-escalate from a blockade.
If linearly proportional then it is approximately equal to one extra character. OK, thanks.

"Eventually" here is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's possible it will happen, of course, but is not within the realm of possible futures within the next ten to fifteen years.

For better or worse, the US is easily the most powerful force projection entity in world history. This was true before Russia was revealed to be badly broken and is more true now.
Right. One complaint is that it would not "represent under-trained concepts like LGBTQ and races and genders more fairly."

If all they need is $25K, that's not going to be hard to get.
There's sufficient demand for what they want to make that it will probably happen. Although we'll probably have to go through an era of bad porn being used to train systems to generate worse porn.

Pornhub has an AI unit. They're currently taking early out-of-copyright porn films and up-converting to 4K, a higher frame rate, and colorizing. As they point out, they have lots of training data for colorizing and body parts. With that working, they'll probably go on to content generation.
